Unclaimed

lodge house in Lafayette Park to-

Now, that Mr. Donaldson, he amt no adult.
If he was to fall in love with sweet little

Yes, you did. And he's furious, simply furious!

Nothing" Calliope said. "You got a fine

me. But that doesn't excuse your spying on

What a howl of raging and cheering went up when the High School Girls and the Married Women's teams took the floor for the second game of indoor base ball. You'd a thought the game was already under way and some tight plays being pulled off. From the start it looked like every hus band in town was taking part in the cheering-I mean the Bronx cheering which accompanied ev- cry play by the Married Women, while the High School Girls got nothing but bouquets-and which they richly deserved after wit messing some of the spectacular
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-28
and heady plays which they pull

The High School girls started off with a barrage of hits and took a lead of 9 to 2 in the fourth increasing it to l9 to at the end of the game. They had the Mar ried Women so befuddled for inn ing after inning that they didn't know whether they were coming or going. Possibly the most out standing star of the second game was the second baseman for the High School Girls, Anna Walsh, who caught flies, tagged runners out at second, and then walked up to the plate and knocked balls in the gallery.

the sixth and the Blazers led l6 to l2. The Alaskan Women how ever came back in the seventh
 and last inning to bring in two scores, and with only one out and
 two runners on bases, it looked
 like a tie score. A fly was hit, caught, and the runner on second walked off second base even
 while the play was in progress to throw the ball to second, for the third out. Evidently she thought there were already two out when the fly was caught. The Blazers became nearly frantic with joy as they discovered they had won, as from reports, the Women had been judged far superior to the other team.

Boy oh boy! Did you see those games last night? Talk about ac- ton and excitement. The women can certainly put on the show. They certainly made some of the mems teams look tame in com parison to the exhibitions last night.

The big upset of the evening happened when the Blazers, com posed of young native girls, de- feated the Alaskan Women, also native women. The bets were many and high on the strong AL askan team which early piled up a 12 to 2 lead, but unexpectedly blew up in the fifth inning, allow ing the Blazers to bring in seven runs.

The crowd which was just looking for an oppor- tunity to lay down the law to the umpires and coaches, sure gave 1t to them when they started look ing through the rule book-and on top of that they had lost the page on which the particular rule was written.

Heard some other kind of razz. ing going on that the Commer- cials were certainly getting to be softies, by crawling out of their game with the Alaskans last mite, and bringing about the two wo- mems games. In turn, l heard that the Hammons' said they would fill in with a game with the High School Boys, when ar engagements were up in the air, but when asked if they would play the Alaskans, due to injur- ies on the Huskies team they said "that was asking too much".
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-28

With the High School Girls on batting spree against the Mar ried Women, some of the crowd kept calling to put Rude in, put Rude in". Tin pans horns, whistles, megaphones and what nots were used to hammer away with the razzing of the Married Women, all of which was in good humor, although one brave rooter whose spouse used to play on the Married Women's team forsook them to cheer for the young'uns.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-28

I'd like to mention the names of outstanding players on the Married Women's team, but I'm afraid if I don't mention all of them, I'm liable to get some un- expected visitors. However, I can say that they had a hard row to row, what with more than 200 persons yelling down at them that they were to old, too fat, too big, too slow, can't hit, and a hun dred other "nice" comments, whi oh thundered at them for the en- tire game. They can certainly take it, and that should be a good example to some of the mems teams.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-01-28

Possibly the best all around player on the Alaskan Women was the left short, Lillian Luke, who caught, hit, ran bases almost better than a man. And the pit cher and catcher combination of the Alaskan Women was a sister team-Lucille Gabriel being the catcher and Lillian Gabriel being the pitcher-and boy could she wind up and send 'em over.
