The Nome daily nugget., 1916-03-04

Before a banner crowd of fans who shrieked themselves into hys- terics over every clever play, both the married ladies and the Fort Davis aggregation bit the dust at the Eagle hall last night.
 The games were by all odds the fastest that have been pulled off for many long day and were replete with interesting plays throughout. The game between the single and married ladies was hummer and the way the singles trimmed their opponents after the latter had got off to a lead of four to one, was good to see and made the fans delerious. In fact the singles not only made up for the thrashing they received last week but also showed that they have capacity with the willow fully equal to that of their hard hitting married sisters. Last night they slammed the ball all over the lot and though the matrons were right there themselves they had nothing on the singles. The ma irons were first to bat and the way they started off set the bugs to yapping right away, Mrs. Kit tleson slammed one to center field for two bags, Bertha Thompson, who is a veritable Honus Wagner at the bat, jammed one down to left but Miss Lamby failed to hold. Mrs. Kittleson went to third and a moment later dove for home on a passed ball scoring the first run. Mrs. Thompson also circled the bases when no one was looking and came home when Catcher Jones dropped a hot one. Mrs. Sharpe walked. Mrs. Shel- don tossed up an easy one to Ina Lyle and she couldn't have froze onto it tighter if it had been a box of bon bons. Mrs. Shields famed and Mrs. Zehner shot one right short scoring Mrs. Sharpe Mrs. Zehner went to third. Mrs Aver swung wild three times bul Holly fumbled the last one and the batter reached first in safety. In the mixup, Mrs. Zehner came home, netting the fourth run Mrs. Downing famed and the half was over. The singles did not do much in their half although they made one run off two hits.
 Ruby Martin beat the ball to first on the third strike and rap idly circled the bases by series of well executed steals. Ina Lyle famed. Lily Koch out to Thomp- son on a pop fly and Ruby came home.
 Hollie Jones then shot a hot grounder between short and first and stole second and third but could not reach the home plate as Bertha Johnson had big hole in her bat.
 In the next round the matrons annexed two runs off a total of three hits by Matrons Webb, Kittelson and Sharp.
 The singles came back with one run off hits made by Misses Lam by and Lewis. The matrons grab ed two more in the third, of three hits by Zehner, Aver and Thompson. The singles then got very busy and run up a total of three as a result of hits by Misses Martin, Lamby and Lewis and free passage granted to Ina Lyle Ruby Martin made 9 hit with the crowd in this ses- sion by making a graceful three yard slide for third, which she reached, looking triAe bewilder- ed but safe as a clam in its shell The best the matrons could do ir the fourth was one hit, Mrs. She' don slammed out a hot one bag ger but the next three up fell for Rowena's slippery ones and the runner perished at third. The singles were playing like veterans now and two more were added to their list in the latter half O the fourth, Misses Martin and Jones hit and Miss Lyle again earned a walk. The nations came up for their last inning but there was little doing. Mrs. Downino walked and Mrs. Webb made a safe hit but the rest were retired
