The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

Of all the funny games the sec ond game last night which the Commercials stole by a score of IA to B, took the cake. The Com mercial pitcher was going great guns for the first three innings and then went sky high until the Alaskans overcame a II to 1 lead. The Alaskan team knock ed in twelve runs during the last six innings while the Com mercials didn't get run after they set up the II to 1 lead, un- til their last bats, when they got three runs to win, and didn't have to finish the inning.

BASEBALL SPOTLIGHT
 By "Nosey"
It looks as if the Hammon team

It looks as if the Hammon team is going to be the only unbeatable aggregation in the league by the time the series ends. Playing heads up baseball last night, they trimmed the Huskies to the tune of 10 to 6, excelling in nearly every department (including the umpiring), over the opposing
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

Did the Huskies pull a pretty double play last night and catch the Hammon catcher loafing down to third? I'll say they did. He waited for the play for first on the batted ball and then dreamily coasted toward third. The throw to first was fast and caught the runner. The throw to third was twice as fast and the runner didn't even slide, the base man putting it on him in time to make the out.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

And while I'm talking about spectacular plays let me draw your attention to a terrific drive which the Hammon pitcher snag- ged with one hand. The ball

l got a kick out of the roofing last night with many new faces shining around the gallery. Oh please won't you hit the ball one ardent fan beseeched. And right along side of that rooter sat one who moaned and howled you can't hit it: take him out. It brought to mind the occurr- ence when one of the long nosed gentry had his megaphone taken away from him by two salwart Hammon players in a recent game. The aforementioned root CT pleaded very earnestly not to be deprived of his voice, and a regular scrap took place much to the enjoyment of the crowd.

tie and set up another lead of 2 which the Commercials were kind of lucky to overcome and win the the game in the seventh canto.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

It seems I can never make my prediction a hundred percent. l was right on the Commercials but wrong on the Hammon. The Hammon still lead the league with a perfect score and only two games remaining to be played. If the Alaskans and the Con- mercials can defeat them in the last two games, they can even the series. AS it is now, the Ham mon lead, second place is held by both the High School and the Commercials, and the Alaskan's are in the cellar.

And then there's the case where one of the umps called a runner out at second when the baseman dropped the ball and the runner was lying on it. But that's all in the game, and the fellows Il have to put up with it in the interests of good sports manship'.
The Nome daily nugget., 1937-02-04

With three umpires on the floor last night, Harry Hagen be ing the new addition, you'd think nothing very serious could take place, but as usual one of them went to sleep and called a man safe at home, when he was out. The worst of it was, the ump wasn't even looking at the play, but was changing his thing amagig' on which he keeps his balls and strikes.

AYRES PREDICTS
FAVORABLE TREND
Business Activity Will Hold
Up Well for Rest of 1897,
He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, August l6.-From
Col. Leonard P. Ayres came the pre-
diction today that business activity
will hold up we'll during the remaining
months OF the year"
For the first six months. industrial
production has exceeded that of the
same months Of 1896 by 10 per cent"
the economist said in the monthly
Business Bulletin of the Cleveland
Trust Co., OF which he is a vice presi-
dent.
Factory employment has been
greater by IA per cent and factory
pay rolls have been 20 per cent larger
than those Of the corresponding
months of 1886" Col. Ayres said.
The agricultural outlook remains
favorable. Business sentiment has
become much more optimistic as a re-
suit Of developments in Washington,
the recent decreases in labor Difficult
ties and OF advances that have been
under way during the past weeks in
the security markets"
On the other hand, Col. Ayres said,
lone fundamental element in the
business situation is much less ia
vorable. It is the fact that the flow
OF new funds into business enterprises
Is not increasing in proportion to the
expansion of production and trade.
Sales Of new corporation securi-
ties have been running so far this
year at rates not much over one-third
OF the average maintained in the 10
years just before the depression.
The economist declared:
The widely anticipated Summer
slump in business activity is not de-
veloping. Not many new records are
being made. but in nearly all import
ant lines of production and trade the
July figures OF this year have been
we'll above those OF July. 1885,

MAIL ORDER SALES
TO REACH BILLION
New High Records This Year
Predicted by Writer
in Annalist.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, August 16-Com-
bined sales Of six leading mail order
houses will make new high records
this year, according to La Rue Apple
gate in the current issue Of the An
nalist. Sales will approximate 81 ,000,-
600 900, an increase of about 81 per
cent as compared with last years
total and 20 per cent greater than
sales In 1929.
1T is difficult to compare the mail
order business to any other branch OF
American merchandising. Mail order
sales" says Mr.. Apologize, have
shown q marked tendency to strike
out for themselves with little or no
relationship to department store sales
or other retail trade. As early as
March, 1895, mail order sales, on a
seasonally corrected basis. equaled the
highs reached in 1929 and by March,
1885, the old records were definitely
shattered. Since that time, mail or
der sales have marched irregularly up
ward, with new high records estab-
lished almost monthly. In May Of
this year sales OF Sears. Roebuck and
Montgomery Ward touched the high
est levels in history. after allowance
for seasonal variation.
The mail order business has long
been associated with farmers and the
general assumption was that pros
perity IN the mail order business was
dependent upon prosperity in the
rural areas. The development OF re-
tail outlets by the mail order houses,
however, has greatly changed the re-
lationshlp between sales Of such COM
panies and cash farm income.
I'm 1882 cash farm income was but
Al per cent of the 1929 total, but mail
order sales were 81 per cent OF the
peak level. Since the trough of the
depression, sales Of mail order houses
have far outstripped the gains in cash
farm income. Last year, farm income
was about IS per cent Of the 1929 fig-
ure, but mail order sales had exceeded
the old marks by comfortable
margin.
The outlook for the mail order
companies is bright from the stand
point Of sales. In spite Of the wide
gains they have made in the past few
years, it appears that from now on
their sales should continue to expand
at faster rate than total retail trade.
The period of transition from a basic
mail order unit to = combination Of
mail order and retail store is now
almost over
Sales should reflect the fact that
the mail order retail stores are now
definitely established In their respec-
tive communities. Because the mail
order houses cater to the vast middle
classes, their sales should respond to
the progressively larger share Of the
national income which labor is re-
ceiving."

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August l6.-The pub
lie is using the air services to a great
er extent than at any other period IN
the history of commercial aviation in
this country and 1897 will be a banner
year for the industry according to
c. r. Smith, president of American
Airlines, Inc.
Increasing prosperity throughout
the Nation has expanded the multi
plicity OF schedules with the most
modern equipment, and there is a rap
idly growing acceptance OF air trans
porta ton.
During the last year the domestic

Sl0,000,000 for the purchase OF mod
ern aircraft and in the first six months
OF this year they carried more than
464 900 passengers, an increase of 81
per cent over the first six months Of
1896, when 1919 passengers were
carried. Passengers transported in
the entire year of 1884 were 461 ,473.
Preliminary August figures for the
air transport industry indicate an
other record month. July figures re-
ported by individual companies topped
June by a substantial margin, and
June was the best month since July.
1886, which was the greatest month
IN the industry's history.
During that record month 11l,072
passengers were carried, 6,043,40 &C
tual miles and 44,36367O passenger
miles were flown and 6l3,837 pounds
OF express transported. In June, 1887,
1892 passengers were carried, 5,8ll,-
404 actual miles and 47,290,279 pas
senger miles were flown and $50, TOO
pounds Of express carried.
Mr.. Smith says that American Air
lines, Inc, transported l47.137 pas
sengers during the first six months Of
this year, as compared with 102,3e3
for the entire year of 1884. In July
the company flew l,568275 miles and
transported 1888 passengers. new

pressed that dust storms this year

and out into the Atlantic.

ness in Canadian wheat was noted.
