GIANTS Squirt.
NEAR TOP

John McGraw's Giants. who can
be counted upon every year to jump
from one end of the National
League standing to the other, either
from top to bottom or vice-versa,
are running true to form again
this reason. Their sensational squirt
of the past two weeks has netted
them IA victories in sixteen starts
and has carried them from the
verge of last place to within 81
games of the league-leading Pirates.
The McGrawmen today begin a
series with the lowly Reds, the only
league rival they have not beaten
this year. Then comes the import
ant series with the Pirates.
The Cardinals, who dropped
three straight games to the
New Workers., were happy to
see them leave st. Louis last
night. Karl Hubbell, q native
MiSsOurian, turned in his second
victory of the week in beating
them yesterday, to I. Civic
interest in the champions
dropped still closer to the zero
mark, only $500 fans attending
the game.
The Cards dropped into third
place below the Cubs, who trimmed
Brooklyn again, and the runners-up
in the American League also
exchanged berths. The Browns
passed the Yankees by handing the
Athletics their worst shelIacking of
the year, Is to s, while the Yanks
lost to Cleveland.
Charley Root of the Cubs held
Brooklyn to four hits, a homer by
Gink Hendrick and three singles
by Babe Herman, winning IL to 2.
Johnny Moore, Chicago's rookie out
fielder, had a perfect day at bat
with four hits. Brooklyn Incl

The Nome nugget., 1929-08-24

The apparently ''ill wind never blows nobody good'', has for the past two or three weeks been in diligently kind to the miners and prospectors. Reports coming in from all over the country indicate that there is plentiful supply of water for all kinds of mining, with the possibility of there even being an over-abundance. To per haps people in town, this recent spell of rain and storm was ter ribly nasty and disa agreeable, but to the men in the field it was a God-send, for what mining could be carried on without the valuable head of water to do the sluicing'
 The ditches, running far into the interior in back of Nome are full to the brim and in some plac es doubt is expressed as to wheth CT they will hold the tremendous head of water which is flowing in them at the present time. It is indeed a very favorable season. one not very often experienced such as this one is proving to be.
 The water is needed by the prospector as well as the small miner and large company. Besides for the purpose of sluicing, the water is being usd to great ad- vantage in thawing the ground so as to permit the use of dredges. Heretofore, which is usually the case. a rainy season of two weeks would occur and then a draught for the remainder of the season, seriously hampering the miners in the work of cleaning up their pay dumps. The ideal part of this season is that rain will fall for considera ble period and then fine weather prevail. all of which makes for an easier and quicker cleanup, allowing the good wealth CT for cleanup work. If this present system of weather con tinues for the rest of the season, remarkably fine mining record is very apt to be esta blished for this year.
