"SKY SCRAPERS"
WIN THE GAME
The "Porch Climbers" tackled the
"Sky Scrapers" last night, and Instead
of mounting to victory they lost their
hold on the ladder of conquest and
dropped back into the basement ?
champions no longer, for their elong
ate opponents annexed the game by
the neat score of 13 to 11: ? and yet
some say that 13 Is an unlucky num
ber. ?
It was the first time the "Sky \
Scrapers" had ever played together,
but they showed surprising form and
won the game on its merits. At the
end of Che first half the score stood
10 to "? in their favor and when the
whistle finally called time the "Sky
Scrapers" were still two points to
the good.
The match was fast and furious
and at times it looked more like foot
ball than a basket ball contest. Re
feree Callarman called no less than
'J 2 fouls, and at that he overlooked a
good deal of rough stuff.
Carstens was the bright particular
star of the "Sky Scrapers." He
threw three field goals and was always
after the ball. Kennedy and Liggett
each threw one field goal and Liggett
threw three goals from the foul litn-.

remarkably well considering It was j

CLEVELAND, O. Mar. 8? The hear
ing on the Cunningham coal cases
has been resumed In this city. Wil

testify.
I Capt. Porter and several members
j of the crew of the Yucatan are still
on board the vessel, which is lying .
almost submerged In Icy straits near
the Hoonali beach. They are living
in the pilot house.
On the last trip of the Georgia
she approached the Yucatan to take
off some mall that is still on the
wrecked steamer, but slush ice pre
vented her from getting nearer than
100 yards. Ice between the wreck
and the shore prevents the men on
the Yucatan from getting ashore. The
men on the vessel are In no danger
as they have plenty of provisions and
the boat is in no danger of breaking
up.
They will be taken off as soon as
the let- clears away. '

"1 feel certain that the copper mines
will be worked this summer," said J
Mr. Davis, "and the future perman

the big power plant which will be in
stalled at Five Fingers and the dredg

ating on the Stewart, McQuesten and
Big Salmon rivers will all contribute
to the prosperity of Whitehorse.. The I
development of the Kluane, White J

can see no reason for pessimism In
the outlook."
