uals , -Baker ,Hoss, and Rumetsch9-\vore led forth to do battle v/ith
some luscious pumpkin pies.This bout v/as a scream,out Pnmetsch

of "Champion Pie Pace" of the Post. Conn ley and Brady then as
saulted each other,whenever they managed to land,in an hilarious
Can Fight,-v/ith Lepple kept busy rushing the can,-but the refold,
seeing that both fighters were alive at the end of five minutes,
declared the bout an even thing.The Band then wound up v/ith a
stirring selection,and the crowd jumped for the doughnuts and

MOUNTED POLICE STILL kkGnR TO ME3T POST ATHLFTFS•
A communication v/as received this week from the R.C.M.P.at
Y/hitehorse expressing their disappointment at the inability of
the Port Seward soldiers t? make the trip that recently fell
through.The "M-unties" generously surmise that the long lay-ever
in Y/hitehorse,with its incidental hotel bills,was the fact that
causec. the lost plans to fail.The Police suggest that a new date
be set,around the first of April,when the weather conditions ill
be more favorable for the railroad trip,ancl the excursion can
be made within two days,-one going to ' rhitehorse,ancl the other
coming back to Skagway.This will,of ccourse,mean only one night's
lay-over,and an attempt is being made oy the Ft.Seward management
to arrange that the soldiers who make the trip can be put up at
the IdC.M.P. bar racks over night,and thus save any expense of
hotel bills .This effort may, may not, be successful, but at c....
rate,no one need fear a long stop-over at /hitehorse.
The "LI-unties" admit freely that they have a bit of a sel
fish motive mixed up in their new invitation,but they say that
they had gone tc- the expense of procuring new uniforms and equip
ment,-of hiring halls for the games and the dance,etc.,-in anti
cipation of entertaining the Fort Seward visitors,-and they con
fess ,without shams,that they would like to get back a part of t..e
# 200.00 that t-ie expended in making their ore.xu at ions for nr
coming.
It is certaimy no more than fair that Fort Seward,which
occasioned the "Mount i es,M loss,should helij all it can to re
duce that deficit.The Police offer us a new date,-they look for
ward to giving us as big a time as over,-and it’s nothing but the
square thing that we should get together,whip the Post Basketball
and Bowling Teams into shape,gather in all the "Royal Rooters"
who can be induced to come along.-and redeem our reputation by
going to Whitehorse along the first of next month, kvery oppor
tuni v,y will bo ^iven t - the men who wish to make the excursion,
so let’s get together,and put this trip overiJJ.
