A Rattling Good Game
As pretty a came of ball as ever was
put up on any Held was played yester
day between the White Pass team and
that of the Arctic Brotherhood.
A large crowd was out to see It, fill
ing the grand strnd but not so large a
crowd as would have been there, prob
ably, if the others bad only known
Tn* A. B. team bad been strengthened
by Hemenway, catcher, Bel ford pitch
er, Maguire, w. Mullen first and
Turner second base. Hemenway, Bel
ford, Mullen and Maguire are Univer
sity of Washington men who came up
from Seattle by the Djlpbin, while
Turner is manager in charge of Captdin
I rown's mining ente' prises about
Haines.
The White Pass team was out in Its
full strength, Gauit, l'belps and F/yar
having been btought in for the
occasion from Glacier and Haines. The
game w?s one of intense suspense for
the most part with only spasmodic
bursts of rooting. The teams were so
perfectly matched that the result hung
in the balance until the end. of the
eleventh inn ng. The g*me wbs played
swift and sure. The outs followed one
auother w th such rapidity that the
partisans of the teams on the benches
hardly had time to yell with delight
over the failure of the opposition before
their favorites were getting the same
medicine.
In the first half of the eighth when
the Wbi c P?a? scorcd, ..icir partis ns
danced around the grounds like true
Indians, but their joy also here was
short lived for the A. Bs. immediately
came back at them, evening up the
record. And theu the A. B. adherents
danced in their turn. The 9th inning
saw no change nor the 10th. In the
last half of the 11th, Hemenway was on
first through an error and attempting
the theft of second when McN'sme
threw wild to second and Hemeqway
came safelv in. No one was out but
the game whs done and the spectator*
turned into an open air asylum about
half teing aiTected with melaucholia
and the oth?r were maLlacs but not
dangerous. A lot of money changed
hands. The game was for gate receipts
at seventy aud thirty but there was a
purse of 9200, besides a grout deal ol
iodivldridual betting.
Both batteries were about equally
matched and nearly perfect. The In
and out fielding was keen, alert and ex
cellent. first baseman Mullen made
some beautiful plays, particularly one
in which he had to jump for a throw
and touch his man before he landed
with his feet on the bag? and so close
that, not to have done so, would hare let
the man get there first. The game has
had the effect of keying up the inter
est in the Fourth of July contest to a
higher tension than ever before known.
