-VITH THE HOOPERS IN JUNEAU:
Socially,the trip was a splendid success. From
the sporting point of view, as regards luck in winning,-glimpse the
scores# Financially,-well, ask any of the Chilkooties,-and be prepared
to run\i!
Ihe Post team tangled with the Douglas Firemen,-and lost,
28 to 18. On Hie next night,they met the Juneau City Team,-and again
emerged oh the small end,-49 to 26# The scores hardly do justice to
the good work done by the local basketeers,howeverf-as the games -both
of then-ran fairly close all the way,up to the last few minutes of play.
At the end of the first half of the Douglas gone,the Firemen were
• leading the Post by only 2 baskets, -and in the Juneay tangle the first
session saw Juneau only 5 ringers over the Chilkooties. But the last
Stanza of each game proved disastrous. The Soldiers fought all the
time,however,-no natter how badly the scure stood against then,-and
were beaten only because the Down-Channel outfits had better basket
eyes# ‘Then Douglas or Juneau shot, the ball Iropped in,-but the Cooties,
although they peppered the hoops, especially in the Juneau gone,-failed
to ring 1 en through,-and there’s the answer to-the two defeats.
0,'Jell#- Basketball is one ^ane- BUT baseball's another.
And the diamond season is approaching.'Nuf Sed*
The Doug&as Game:
Ihe Post team went up against a combination
D uglas Firenen-Douglas High team in the Hatatoriuu on the Island on
Tuesday nights Hie game was a very good one,-and up to the last few
minutes the outcome was much in doubt* Jinmie Iianning,of Douglas ran
wild in the latter part of the e/ening,-and there’s the reason that the
final count was - Douglas Firemen, 28; Chilkoot Barracks, 18* For the
Firemen,Manning and '.Vitanen were the Big Noises,while the general floor
work of Garn was a treat to watch* For the locals, Clarke and Wilson
stood out brilliantly,while Grant,at center,ran the tongue out of Sin
clair Brown,his opponent. Ihe box score:
