SKAOWAV TAKES fIRST MONEY
Skag-way Defeats White
horse and Juneau in
+
Two Easy G-ames. Big
Crowd has a Big Time
Over by the Rapids
It was a jubilant crowd that arrived
back from Whitehorie yesterday
bringing all the money and an much of
the glrry a* was there. So far as ball
playing went Whitehorse had nothing
but tho dregs, lees and wattage to
comfort it to day. It was a field day
Id baseball circles certainly. It was
ball playiog by day and dancing by
night? enough entertainment, tor any
body. The grandstand " and bleachers
were crowded all the afternoon and
early evening? for every minute that
tbe game was on.
There were 260 excunionists from
this city, Haines and Juneau. Tbe run
over was made in good time arriv
ing at Whitehorse at 1:30. As soon as
the crowd could be fed, the assembly
was called at the ball grounds and a
conference decided that Whitehorse
should take on the team from Juneau
flrst.
Now, this Juneau tnani was an un
known quantity; supposed to be easy.
It is composed almost wholly of High
school boys. They wore a uniform to
be sure, but uniforms are no guarantee
of a Knowledge of tbe game. They
were a triflo nervous to start with, too,
?nd although Whitehorse made a run
in the first inning it was the third Inning
before they evened up the score. But
they got their location in that inning
and went where they listed afterward.
In the next they took two and in the
following inning they scored five times.
One Mr. Sksggs, was in the box for
the earlier innings?Olson, upon whom
Whltehorse depended so ijppticitiy,
being held in reserve wherewith to do
things to Skagway. But when these
eight numbers had been hung up on
the blackboard, It begun to dawn upon
Whltehorse that tbeae school boys
needed strong meat. So Mr. Olson wad
sent to the tox. But It was too late.
Juneau was not allowed any ir.oro runs
and Whitehorse Bcored one in the sixth,
ending the game 2 to 0 In Juneau's
favor. Perhaps these boys didn't say
a word in that town after that.
A half hour later Skagwav and Juneau
met on the tame field. In the first
inning both scored one. Then to the
fifth neither scored and the excitement
ran high. In the sixth inning Skag
way found the way and ran until she
got tired? six big ones. The end came
In the next Inning? th- games were all
seven Innings ? with neither scoring, so
that the finish stood 7 to 1 In favor of
gkapwaj.
Juneau's cattery was Hlmming and
Shepard? and that man Hlmmlng was
whole battery In himself. Ha is a tall,
whitehaired youth, who bad no airs,
self-consciousness or other handicaps
and simply plays ba'l with a strong
arm and a cool, alert head. The whole
team behaved in a manner to win
Mends on every side.
So the first money was given to Skag
way and ihe second to Juneau. But
Whltehorse was not satisfied and a purse
was made up and a challenge issued and
accepted and after dinner, at 6:30, the
crowds were gathered together again

?#y The wind blowing and the sun
bidden behind a bank of cloudi made it
anything but agreeable and caused the
later innings to be played to some dis
advantage because of darkness but the
orowd stayed and yelled itself hoarse to
the finish. Until the last inning White
horse did not ?ore and then a swat at
a fortunate interral when two men were
on base*, made by Fisher, brought two
men in. Skagway at that time bad
hung up one in the second, 5 in the
tbird, two in the fourth and ?ihen? with
3 to nothing? they quit trying as the
day was getting dark and they were in
a hurry to go to tho ball.
Skagway played great ball all the
time, her battery, McClaire and McNa
mee worked like perfection. McClaire
pitched two beautiful game?. Nor waa
there anything to mar the joy of the
oocaaion. The rooting was Incessant
but on the field there was nothing but
ball playine? no question raited or rag
chewing of any kind. The umpire was
Clarence Olson aod his word went in
every case.
In the ball throwing contest Himmlng
wss in a class by himself. The men
threw In from outfield, all landing aear
the grand stand. Htramiug, when It
came his turn, threw tho ball clear orer
tho stand.
As (or the other events there were ao
entries for the hose raco outride of
Whltehorse. Two teams, ihe Ship
yards and the regular Whltehorse ran
the 220 yards, the first In and the
other io 30i.
The festivities wuund up with a ball
in the evening at which there was a
throng, and good music and refresh
ments, to all of which everybody was
welcome. On the whole It was a groat
success. The evening train back to
Skagway brought a number of the ex
cursionists but the main body waited
over ^nd arrived in good spirits at i:30
yesterday,
Here a game was arranged between
nines oomposed of Juneau and the
White Pass on one side and a mixed
nine on the other which was won by
the Juneaultes with a score of 3 to 1. A
collection was taken up resulting in a
considerable purse which was handed
Juneau.
In the evening Juneau and the White
Pass teams were both the guests by in
vitation of the Fifth Avenue hotel. The
Juneau team left for (heir home on the

friends ia this city.
