At a luncheon meeting of the baseball league officials at the North Pole Bakery today, the action of the Alaskan team in standing firm in their desire to have last Wednesdays Nome Alaskan game finished was con sidered. The directors set the play-off for Monday night, Feb. 20 at FOO o'clock, the same pitch CTS are to be used, and the game is to continue until decided. A vote of confidence was extended to game officials.
 The dispute over the game arose when two Alaskan runs were scored in the first half of the seventh inning tying the count at II to II. Due to the fact that one Alaskan, although de, clared out, batted a second suc- cessive time and eventually SCOT ed, his run was not counted at the time and both teams left the floor apparently thinking the con test decided. The Alaskans later entered a protest on the official results.
 The play-off Monday night will be open without charge to inter ested fans and may last more than the necessary half-inning. It will be played as nearly as possible under regular game con ditionS.
 TonightS games pit the Nome team against Hammons and the Commercial against the Alas kans.
