Operators Lead in Championship Race
Defeat Engineers in The Last Scheduled Game of The
Season and Take League Honors

The Operators to all appearances
nave won the championship of the Dye
Works Baseball League by defeating
the Engineers Thursday by the score
of A to O. Up till this game the two
contending teams were tie for the sec
ond half of the season. The Mechan-
les had won the championship for the
first half of the season and are to
play the winners of the season just
closed, if it has really closed. Of that
there seems some doubt, for there
seemed to be a tie game of last week
which was called in the eighth inning
on account of darkness and the COM
mittee in charge We're in a quandary
how to dispose of it. The right thing
to do seemed to be to have the game
played over again to see who really
did win it. So it was announced that
there was to be another game today,
Friday, but the Operators want to
wait till Tuesday and take no chances
in having their nice little lead of one
game sewed up and tied again and the
Engineers do not want to wait. Well,
it is all to be worked out in committee,
which sounds like Bolshevik workings
and from all accounts the Soviet com
mittees have nothing on this group of
dye workers in serious and violent ar
gument.
1t little occurred to them that in big
leagues a tie game is a thing of the
past after the Jump has drawn the cur-
tain, but then the COMMITTEE" will
solve it all and we hope they will ar
range everything so that the Mechan-
les will have an opponent without res
ervations for the worlds series"
which are supposed to start on Mon
day of next week.
By the way of statistics the stand
ing of the teams at the close of yes
terday's game was as follows (the tie
game not counted):

Both Operators and Engineers kept
in the running for the championship
of the second half of the eason by
winning their games from the Me-
chanics during the week. The Engl-
neers took two and the Operators one
game. Last Friday the Engineers
won by the score of 2 to l and repeat
ed on Tuesday to the tune of A to 2.
AS an interlude on Monday the Opera
tors staged a A to 0 act at the expense
of the Mechanics.
The game on Monday was nothing
to cause any great furry of excite
ment and outside of the act of scor-
ing four runs the only contest was to
finish the game before st. Swithln
handed out his daily drizzle. The
runs were scored in a straight for
ward fashion by clean hitting and by
taking advantage of every opportun-
ity in running bases.
The interest was sustained by a
rapidly moving drama of innings mas
tered by the opposing pitchers. Lees
for the Operators seemed to be more
the master of the situation than Crlst.
He allowed but two hits, n by
Hodgin in the second and n by Pas
ouale in the fifth inning, but the hits
did not mean anything for Hodgin was
stopped at second on a double play
which also retired Lugar at first base
and Pasquale was caught stealing Sec
ond by a sure-fre throw by kllle from
behind the bat. Lees retired SIX by
strike-outs to two by Crist.
The Operators started right in the
first inning to score in the first in
ming. Murakami led off by getting In
the way of a pitched ball and receiv-
ing it on the biceps. He was some
what ruffled by the incident but was
all smiles after he circled the bases
and scored on Grubb's hit. Grubt
reached home from first base before
the ball after Talliafero's single tc
right field. Tai tried to reach thiro
on the throw in but was caught slid
ing to the sack, retiring the side.
A batting, or rather a bunting, fest
of four straight hits in the sixth IN
ming drove in two runs and was stop
ped short by a double play on a hit te
short with the bases full.
The work of the Operators infielc
was as smooth as machinery. The
Mechanics hit few balls to the out
field and Talliaferro eve missed q
chance that came his way. The balls
were we'll fielded in addition.
The score.

Tuesdays game was more closely
contested that that on Monday but
there were fewer spectators present.
The Mechanics did not seem so very
DESTROYS of letting the Engineers win
and kept up a noisy as well as scrap
ping game. At times it seemed as if
they would overtake the Engineers but
the latter played all the harder and
better and were in the lead at all
stages of the game.
The Engineers had good batting
gether for they punched their hits sue
cessfully. They turned an error, two
hits and a squeeze play into two runs
in the second inning. Their other
two runs came in the fourth. Ogden
walked, Dunbar singled and then both
scored on Riley's single. After steal
ing third base Riley was caught nap
ping in that vicinity by Pasquale's
throw to Hunter. Then Lopez poled
out a ripping two sacker but no one
had any use for it as the side was re-
tired by Westerfeld's fly to Under
wood.
Taking too long chances cost the En-
gineers another possible tally in the
last inning, when with one out Sum-
merrill was caught off second base by
Reeds throw to Hodgin. Summerill
then sprinted for third but the ball got
here first.
The Mechanics tailed twice in the
fifth. c.. Mcdonald and Watson
singled. Then Reed hit out a two bag
ger scoring Mcdonald and it looked as
if Westerfeld would blow up. Under
wood made a long hit to deep centre
but Summerill decided differently and
caught it, and the batting rally re-
ceived the wet blanket. The Engi-
neers breathed more easily as the Me-
chanics were Gained down.
Watson scored on the sacrifice fly
but with two out Hunter was quickly
disposed of. In the last inning c. Nc
Donald singled and the Mechanics
thought they had Westerfeld off again,
but they only thought so.
The score:

State Money For Roads

The State Highway Commission
last week apportioned S426,5OO to the
counties of the State as State aid In
the construction of roads. The money
comes from an appropriation made by
the Legislature of 100000. The re-
mainder will be disbursed later.
Salem County's share is s25,00oW.

Thursdays game was by far the
best one of the week perhaps because
of it's importance in deciding the
league standing but also because OF
The never-say-die spirit of contest
kept up by the Engineers till the last
mar was put out. Ideal baseball
weather for a change greeted the rec
ord crown of the week.
The game was pretty much a com
edy of errors" and the umplres mace
more than the players. The engineers
were so anxious to win that 0 the
first two innings they did everything
but field the ball properly. They were
so full of holes they looked like last

held their summer convention IN 1t.
They either muffed or threw wild and
in the meantime the Operators got IN
some good sprinting practice. In tie

the umpires made lots OF mistakes
and mostly at the expense of the En-
gineers. Anyway, it kept interest IN
the game for no one knew what mo-
ment a mistake was going to turn the
tide the other way. Twice, once IN
he first and once in the fifth inning,
as Mearkle stole second NOVEL; had
thrown to Ayau in time to put out
the runner but the umpire, perhaps
with the authority of the committee"
decided otherwise.
The home run by Korb in the hrst
inning was the only earned run made
by the Operators.
The Engineers had a base on balls
and made two hits in filling the bases
in the second inning and it looked as
if they were in for some scoring. just

COUNCIL DECIDE TO SETTLE STREET
 CONTRACT DISPUTE

The atmosphere was heavy with argu- ments pro and con for a time but 1t was finally decided by a unanimous vote of the council to reimburse the contractor to the extent of $2,S95 if he would call the matter quits. Mir. Rowe. who was present. agreed and also voluntarily offered to release the city from further obligations under the contract owing to the councilmanic opposition to it's continuance The deed done, everybody smiled, including MT. Rowe. and the council adjourned until the next regular meeting night.
 In addition to obviating the pros- pect of a costly law suit. the compro- mise releases the city from an obliga- ton for the performance of services which the council believes can be done for q whole lot less than the price called for in the annulied contract. One of the council members asserts that the compromise saves the city about three thousand dollars for the year 1s1s-2o and also relieves the sit- uation to the extent of six thousand In 1s2O-21.

NEW YEAR ENTERS ouIErly

Few sounds of revelry by night" attended the advent of the new year in Nome and our pristine, burg was al- most as quiet as 1t usually is when the clocks told the midnight hour Wednesday night. The big whistle at the heating plant sounded two or three doleful toots. bell tolled duly thru the stormy air. few desultofy shots were fired by enthusiasts In various parts of the city, and the irrepressible malamutes let out a~few mournfui walls in honor of the occasion. Dur ing New Years Day there was some exchange of calls and the Easies and other orders held open house. Other- wise the day was much the same as any other. Indictment weather pre- cluded mitch outside activity and doubtless dampened the New. Year ardor of nearly everyone.

CHURCH SERVICES PROVIDE
 PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT

The Christmas service held st the Federated church last Sunday proved one of the most pleasing musical en- tertainments held here in long per- iod of time and attracted an attend ance which all but tested the capacity of the big church edifice. The vocal and instrumental program was elabor- ate in scope and character and was excellently rendered throughout The solo selections "Oh Holy Night" "Hark! Hark. My Soul." and The Birthday of the Kin4." sung respec- lively by Miss Barbara Hughes Miss Catherine Anpher and Mir Dyfed Evans. were especially pleasing fea- lures and displayed to the full the fine vocal powers of the three singers. The chorus numbers. There Came {. Song on the Midnight Air.s'.Oh, Light Eternal" and There Came Three Kings" were sung in splendid man. ner by the well trained chorus of 25 voices directed by Mir. Elner Reed. The fine musical accomplishments of Miss Frances Bishop were well attest ed by her rendition of the offering and offertory and the accompanlfnents to the selections Of the soloists and chorus. In the opinion of all who at tended. the entertainment, considered from the musical standpoint. has sell dom been surpassed in Nome. and then only away back in the days of the gold rush when greater amount of talent permitted wider range of ex- pression. Each and everyone partici- pating is entitled to the warmest com mendation. sE

The long standing dispute between the City Council and W. J. Rowe, holder of the three year street repaic and maintenance contract let by the last council. has been practically set tied as Il result of agreements reached between MT. Rowe and the council body whereby the city will reimburse the contractor for services performed at an agreed price of $2,s95 and Mir. Rowe will annul the contract.
 The settlement was reached at q special meeting of the City Council held Tuesday evening at the city hall to hear the report of the special com mittee appointed at the last regular meeting to confer with Mr. Rowe with q view to arriving at an understanding Mayor Holt presided and all of the council body with the exception of MilOt and Peterson were present. The special committee reported that Mir. Rowe was willing to settle all claims under the street contract for $3,500. Rowe had previously rendered a state mcnt to the council totaling something over $4.500 which was. claimed as the sum it would have cost the city to per-
 form the same services. The contrac
 tors, agreement to accept $3,5OO was based on services performed in the re- pair and maintenance of the streets, including some snow hauling during the present winter. from June 1st to date. The council abrogated the con- tract June z under the contention that the contractor had voided the agree ment by failing to perform stipulated services. During the interval MT. Rowe held that the contract was legal and still in effect despite the council manic repudiation and continued to repair and clean the streets during the remainder of the open season, also re- moving the snow at intervals since the close of navigation.
 After receiving the report of the committee. the council held lengthy talkfest and decided that 1t was right and proper That Mir. Rowe should be reimbursed for his services but was opposed to paying the price asked.
