| Description | The Nome News Nome, Alaska Saturday, February 24, 1900 Vol. 1, No. 21, Page 1. WINTER BASE BALL. Two Games Played During the Past Week. That on Washington's Birthday Called Off on Account of the Weather -- A. C. Boys vs. Soldiers. The people of the "outside" which scarcely credit the report that the citizens of Nome were enjoying the great American game of baseball in the winter season, if such a report was to reach them. Nevertheless, such is the case and twice have Nome's citizens witnessed such pastime. The first game of the "season" was played last Sunday, the contestants being teams from the A. C. Co. and the soldiers of the seventh infantry of this post. The first game resulted in a victory for the soldiers, the second on Washington's Birthday at point Belmont on snake River was between the same contestants. Manager Pope, of the A. C. Co., was captain of the A. C. team, while Lieut. Craigie acted in the same capacity for the Warriors. Game was called at 2 PM, the Warriors being late in arriving, in order to give their lady admirers ample time to witness the game. A spirited contest prevailed for four innings, when the game was called off on account of the icy breezes from the north, making it decidedly uncomfortable for the boys. Louis L. Lane, who was pitcher for the A. C. team, had his fingers frozen and other members of the teams suffered so that it was mutually agreed to postpone the game until Sunday, when it will be finished if the weather proves milder. The game was for a purse of $500 and some betting took place off the grounds which added interest to the sport, but all bets were declared off upon the postponement of the game. The score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the A. C.'s, but the soldier boys were entitled to next inning at bat. The boys played a hard, clean game and many good plays were cheered by friends of the respective teams. One of the features of the game was the fine work of Capt. Pope, of the A. C. team. His base-running and sliding were admired by his many friends and it was evident that Pope is still in good form, though somewhat heavier than of yore. Dr. Call, of the same team, played an exceptionally fine game and had an opportunity of catching a very difficult ball upon which rested the outcome of the game, as the bases were full. The doctors eagle I never failed and he made every opportunity count. Lieut. Craigie, captain of the Warriors, made several good plays and besides catching several warm balls also caught a "cramp" in his right leg which caused him considerable pain and made his base-running defective. The game was very satisfactorily I'm tired by Jack bond and J. B. Miller. McCay, of the Warriors played a very strong game, having put out five men on two bases. Dunton put a liner into the field and made the only home run during the game. Unfortunately the bases were not full at the time and but one man was scored by Dunton's clean hit. The teams were made up as follows: A. C. CO. Pope, ss, Capt. Snell, c, Wheaton, 1b, Call, 2b Lane, 3b, Shoemaker, lf, Snyder, rf Price, cf, Kirk, p. SOLDIERS Craigie, ss, Capt. Strickland, c, McCaughan, 1b, MccCay, 2b, Dunton, 3b, Thill, lf, Watler, rf, Hamilton, cf, Long, p. |
