One paragraph of this home run story states, “nobody else seems to nave a simple honest ruling to offer on this ball in question.” The writer informed. A is very much mis- two-base ruling in this League happens to make the home run a two-base hit. Umpire Everett Nowell, also the base um- pire placed the ball in fair ter- ritory when it hit the fence. Also two local umpires, one of whom was |)u_wm at the ball game, said vas a two-base hit. Now folks, doesn't it look a little ike some one doesn’t want a simple wonest ruling? Perhaps it's because he ruling may be in favor of Douglas? What do you think? In closing my note I wish to add one more pan;,)' ph of the anony- mous writer, “Let's remember the Juneau Fire Department has a lot of money tied up in the local park.” Andy Andrews would like to re- mind the writer that last yi [ was handed to the Elks |team against the Moose team.
