JUNEAU BOWLS
BRILLIANTLY
The Skagway team of bowlers must
have forgotten their "BlUlkeiis" last
night for they surely were deserted IJJ
luck entirely.
In the three games bowled there
was a continuation of splits from
start to finish and although the root
ers all kept their fingers crossed. It
continued until the last ball was
thrown. Twenty-seven splits in three
games is the record.
Ou the other hand the god of luck
must have perched tight ou the shoul
ders of the Juneau team for the re
sult of their three games is away up
in figures that would be a credit to
a professional team.
The Skagway team, that is four of
them, had just returned from White
horse on the afternoon train and the
long trip and the corresponding loss
of sleep incident to a trip to White
horse could easily have affected their
bowling, but it is safe to say that
with ordinary luck half of the splits
would have been strikes which would
have raised the total score at least
150 pins, which at that, would have
been far below the average of the
team's bowling. Following is the
score by games.
Pitman 175 165 158
W. C. Blanchard 144 148 169 1
Flaherty 171 174 147,
A. C. Blanchard* 166 125 167
G. Blanchard 187 184 210
Totals 843 796 851
?Snow took Blanchard's place in
the last game.
Juneau's score by games was as
follows: 1st game 899. 2nd game 955 1
LEAVES FOR
Robert Lee Guthrie and wife are
to leave Skagway for San Francisco
ou the Jefferson, having sold their
beautiful residence and prepared their
household gods for shipment to the
new home which they intend to es
tablish in California. Mr. Guthrie's
departure will be felt with keen re
gret by all the people of Skagway
who took part in the stirring events
at the founding of this gateway to
the Interior. No citizen ever spent
wealth more lavishly than has Lee
Guthrie for the public benefit of
Skagway. No man's purse strings
were ever looser at the call of dis
tress nor has any man ever been
more scrupulous in fair dealing and(
biding in the spirit of llvo and let ;
live. Mr. and Mrs. Guthrie's beauti
ful home has been a temple of hos
pitality, and social circles will sadly
realize a missing spirit when Mrs.
Guthrie is no longer counted among
the ladles of Skagway. Mr. Guthrie
will carry with him fond remember
ances of the town to which he has
been so loyal and a hope that chang
ing conditions will Justify him to re
turn to the many property interests
he leaves behind? and so say we all
of us.
and 3rd game 899 making a total oL
2,753.
This gives Juneau a lead of 263 pins
which the Skagway team will have j
to overcome in six games to win the
contest.
The second game of the series will
be bowled off on Friday night at 8:30
o'clock.
