YANkS RATE GOMEZ
AS THEIR BEST BET
Players Call Slim Southpaw's Work
Main Factor in Winning
the Pennart.

NEW YORK, December 23-In re-
~ viewing their successful American
League campaign, some of the
Yankees were discussing the interesting
point as to just when they struck the
deciding blows in their pennant cam
paign.
Manager Joe Mccarthy held that the
race was decided by a six-game series
in Philadelphia at the start of June
in which the Yanks broke even but
maintained the advantage gained in
May and never relinquished it.
Coach Jimmy Burke believed that the
August home stand, with its success
full defense of Yankee Stadium against
all-comers, winding up with clean
sweep of the Labor day double header
with the second-place Athletics, was
what made the pennant certain.
Then some one mentioned that in
exactly half of the games won from
Philadelphia the winning pitcher was
Vernon Gomez and the argument came
to an end.
Every time Gomez faced the Ath-
1etics," phrased Arthur Fletcher. I'VE
were winning the pennant."
The slim southpaw ace of the Yanks
suffered only one defeat at the hands
of the Mackmen all season and it was
eXcusable, for it was suffered on July
25, when he went in as a nipth-inning
relief hurler after having defeated the
Athletics with Grove pitching, In full
length game the day before.
The Mackmen never succeeded In
solving Gomez at any time in the CAM
paign until September % when he faced
them in a tunine-up game after the
pennant had been c1tnched and the
Yankee attention was pointing toward
the world series. A homer by Jimmy
Foxx with the bases filled scored a
knockout Of Gomez, although subse-
quent Yankee slugging won the game
and saved Gomez from second defeat
debit on his seasons record at the
hands of the Athletics.

Enroute to his home at College, near Fairbanks, Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, President of the Alaska Agricultural College & School of Mines, visited here this morning while the steamer Yukon was in port.

EAGLE RIVER SCOUT CAMP, June 6, II a.m.-(Special Cores pondence)-As this is being written the last of the gang is just com ing into camp over the trail. Have not counted all heads yet but there are some thirty odd, all hollering and waiting for lunch.
 The Highway, Capt. Nels Rogne, arrived here at II am. Saturday and we got everything ashore and under shelter by 4 pm. Didn't rain a drop during those five hours, and only little was soaked when we landed stuff through a light surf.
 c. c. Collen, Judson Whittier and James Whaley helped us with this work, in addition to Scouts Simpson, West Scott, Howard, Kel- Ter and Veteran Scout John Stew art.
 Sunday we cleaned up the cabin, laid in the grub and set in the new stove. The stove is working fine. G. E. Krause and two of his men, Dave Burnett and Carl Weid- man, came in about noon and fin- ished up the cement work for us. Dr. Robert Simpson, J. w. Leivers and Tom Judson were here Sun day, too, and put in some mighty good hours working.
 Tents Set-Up
 Today we cut tent poles before the bunch arrived, and are all set to put up tents and get settled after lunch.
 The camp should be good one this year The new stove keeps the cabin quite warm, and gives us plenty of drying room so we can keep the boys dry all the time. We have straw mattresses this year, plenty of wool blankets, mosquito nets, a dozen two-mta tents, and othsr new equipment which should make the camp much more com fortable.
 Our Exchange" this year will be at the Paul Brothers Grocery Anyone having anything to send to camp should leave it there, and the Scouts would appreciate it if visitors or instructors coming to camp will call there before com ing out so they can pick up any thing there is to be brought to Eagle River.

 Capt. Clarke made the winning guess for the group, and he was one of three persons who guessed nearest the time when the ice moved at Nenana.
 Every member of the Juneau group had a ticket in the pool and the agreement among the members was that all should share equally in any winning ticket held by any of them.
