WHITE PASS TEAM MEETS ITS FIRST DEFEAT? RETURN GAME TO BE PLAYED
this mm.
We have beard a great deal of late
about tbe sights to be seen in va
rious cities from Hampton Roads a'ouod
10 Sao Francisco and Seattle, but the
si<bt that Skagway saw yesterday after
noon distanced any other single thing
that has been made to look at since God
created tbe earth Seeing Naples was
never in it. There are a lot of people
to prove this to be nothing more than
a plain, conversational, conservative
statement. The crowd was not nearly
as large a< it might have been, because
there was little suspicion of tbe import
ance of wbat was about to talce place,
especially among s'ranrer*.
The gams was called at a little before
3, and from that time, down the score
board, before the eyes of tbe onlookers,
moved a rapid. and unbroken procession
of t tos, while in the grand stand and
bleachers a fever sprang up that grew
into a contagion, uotil the last half of
the ninth having been played and there
was uot written on ihe board aught but
circles. Then, when a man walked up
and wrote "1" this fever raged and
rnide maniscs of what bad biep a con
gregation of most orderly and respecta
ble citizens.
The irime was classic. Both teams
worked like machines and almost with
out error. Only one man had been
allowed to reach so much as second on
a bit before tue climax. Ooly one man
walked One man took a base on being
'truck oy tho ball. Before the game
was half through the sptctators were
aware that tbey were looking at a real
ball eauie. The White Pass had played
its ninth inning in tbis fashion with
the result balanced upon a hair as be
tween them. Then Hayrs of the signal
corps made a hit that g*ve him first.
He stole second. Chauncey Boyer m de
a hit that started Hayes to third, Alex
Blauchjrd? ono of the most certain of
the White Pass team, listening to the
wi.d cries of the excited populace?
fumbled long enough to make Hayes |
safe oq third, seeing whloh Blanchard
threw to flrat, a little wro ir, and
Hayes went home. This left nothing
to do but yell, and what ensned i? atlll
ringing in the ears of the town. The
Kame quit there with no man out on
the to-called A. B. team.
The White Pass team was the same
?s that at Whltehorse except Jimmy
Fryar.
The other team was as follows: Mc
Cammon, catcher; Coffey, pitcher;
Bayless. 1st; Boyer, 2nd; Rapuzzl, 3rd;
Gilmoro, ss; Hayes,' left; Seymour,
right; Reynolds, center.
A lot of money changed hands and of
course there must be a return game
this evening. It will be called at 0:30.
There will be another lot of monvy
p aced on the result tonight and it wi'.l,
besides, be for blood. The W. P. A. C.
has called in its reserves? la the form
of Jimmy Fryar, summoned from
Haloes. The wiooiog team tnis even
ing takes all the gate receipts.
Kroest Niehoff, who is well known In
the Tanana, has written Tommy Mc
Smart that the miners in the Chandlar
have struck a rich lead of quartz at the
head of Big; creek la tbe Chandlar dis
trict, says the Fairbanks Mloer.
He says the samples are certainly
wooders and that be will bring some of
them to Fairbanks with him. He says
there is oot much In sight so far as the
placer mines are cooceroed. Sever* 1
miners were sinking on Big creek, but
h .d not gotteo to bedrock.
He heard it reported than the men
oo Nolan creek who had alighted oo to
the pay would not take $00,000 spot
cash for the dump they have taken out.
