STEADY RAIN SPOIIED THE
VICTORIA OAT CELEBRATION
"Rain, rain, go away
"Come again some other day."
This was the prayer voiced by
'tbout .100 persons at Whitehorse last
Saturday, but the rain refused to go
away and the cold uninterinittent dri:.?
z\e which fell during the entire day
l>ut a damper on the enthusiasm.
It was impossible to pull of the prc
g' am of si>orts ? with the exception
of one four inning baseball same, a
base running contest and the bowling
as the athletic field was a quagmire.
Had the weather been good the Vic
tirria day celebration would have been
successful in every particular. More
than $700 was offered in prizes, four
lii?eball teams were present to con
test. and more than 230 visitors were
in Whitehorse. The citizens of Whit
horse were keenly disappointed at the
state of the weather, but they did
all that they could under the circum
stances.
Douglas won the baseball game
\? ith Whitehorse. the Skagway men
and women bowlers beat Whitehorse
and Morley. teller in the Canadian
Hank of Commerce at Whitehorse
von the base running contest.
I About half the number that loft
I Whltehorso remained there until Sun
cay morning. They wore royally en
tertained at a dancc Saturday night
at the North Star Athletic club.
Music was furnished by the Wlute
borse and Skagwav bauds.
Nearly two hundred persons left
T>kagway on Saturday's train. Includ
ing about 40 front Juneau and the
sanu- number from Haines. There
were also a few visitors from points
along the railroad. The train arrived
on time without mishap and were
greeted by the Whltehorse citizens
and band. The parade was called
off because of the muddy condition of
the streets.
The ball game started at 1 o'clock
and after progressing four innings
was called because of the steady
downpour. The base running contest
was held soon after and that ended
the outdoor sports. After that the
crowd adjoured to the North Star
Athletic club and there was bowling
(two kinds.)
The first section of the excursion
train left at 7:20 o'clock ot. the re
turn to Skagway.
LOCAL BOWLERS
GET THE BACON
After being tied in the first gamel
and losing by one pin in the second. !
the Skagway bowlers came to the
fiont and won the series from the
Whitehorse team by a total of 53
pins. The hist game was in doubt
until the cl?>sing frames.
The rooting was most enthusiastic
ciul partisans of both teams cheered
end applauded as the strikes and <
r pares were made.
ttarniKer and Kd wards of White
horse did great work, but they could
r.ot overcome the better team play of

There was a game of baseball be
tween Douglas and the White Pass
Athletics yesterday "ternoon on the
loeal diamond and those who braved
tl.e wintry winds saw a mighty exhlb
bition of pitching ? and that was about
all. A young gentleman named Walsh
mounted the mound for the Athletics
and the doughty Douglas batsmen
spunt seven futile innings breaking
their backs trying to biff his benders.
But they only tapped him for three
measly hits and if his support had
been errorless Walsh would have
made a shutout. As It was he struck
out eight men and didn't issue a
single pass. He didn't seem to be
trying very hard either.
Kilbuck of Douglas was easy to
solve and the Athletics garnered ten
safe hits off him which resulted in
half as many runs. One of the runs
vas a plain steal, however. In the
second inning in coming home from
second, Rappuzzi cut third base by
fifteen feet. Rock didn't see him
and the score stood. The crowd in
tile grand stand saw Rappuzzl's trick,
however and hooted so much that
Jimmy Rock, who officiated, gave up
his job in disgust and was succeeded
by Fred Hastings of Juneau.
Rappuzzi did not do a clever thing
when he cut third base. It's a farmtR
play that won't work one time in fifty;
with a watchful umps and farther
more it is a deliberate and unsports
Munlike transgression of the rules. It
?vas the only unpleasant feature of
yesterday's game.
These are the details of the fray,
gentle reader:
Coughlln flew out to Cault. Cook
rolled down to short that McHrlen
i issed. Cook stole second. Dore
mus fanned. Cook went third on a
j.assed ball and it looked as If a
run was coming, but Walsh settled
down to business and Stoft emulated
the mighty Casey.
McBrien flew out to Spence. Illan
chard "hit safe over second. Mclntyre
sacrificed and Blanchard went second
Phelps rolled a slow one to third and
went first. Blanchard by speedy base
ri lining made third. Gault fanned.
I I _ne second Steadman and Spence
i?nned for Douglas and Erlckson laid
i c no down to Walsh and was thrown
j out at first.
I Big BL11 Seyinoro stabbed one over
, second and made first. Rappuzzl
' c louted a two bagger to left field. O'
Connell flow out to Stoft. Walsh
; started for first on a dropped third
I strike and Seymore camo home.
Walsh was out. Cook dropped Dore
mus's throw and Rappuzzl came in ?
cutting third base. McBrlen knocked
cne to third and was thrown out at
first.
Kilbuck made first on Rappuzzi's
error in the third inning. Mclntyre
dropped the throw and Kilbuck chased
to second. Carpenter struck out.
Coughlin drove a safe hit past Rap
puzzl a.nd Kilbuck scored. Cook drove
u hot one to Blanchard who threw
Coughlin out at second. Doremus
flew out to G-ault.
Blanchard got a single and went to
second when Doremus let a wild one
go by. Mclntyre singled, and stole
second. Mark Phelps pasted out a
peach and Blanchard did the prodigal
son stunt. Gault flew out. Seymore
sacrificed and Mclntyre scored. Rap
uuzzi drove a sizzler that hit the
flumo and bounced back into the dia
mond. Phelps scored on it. O'Con
n< ll wan thrown out on a bunt.
The Douglasites got only one man
tn first iiii the fourth. Steadman was
hit. by a wide in and took a sack.
Walsh made amends Immediately af
'er wards by catching lilin napping off
tlrst. Skagway went out one, two,
t ree.
In tile fifth Walsh fanned Erickson,
Kilbuck and Carpenter in order and
! kagway never got to second.
In the sixth Coughlin singled and
McBrien muffed Cook's grounder. The
double steal was worked and Coughlin
came home on Doremus' sacrifice.
Stoft and Steadman were thrown out
at first and that ended the scoring.
'I he Douglasites went down again in
one, two, three order in the seventh.
