The Boy Scouts encamped, at Chilkoot Barracks from Juneau,
Douglas and Wrangle went to Ska.gway Saturday on the Fornance for
a game of baseball with the Skagway Junior team*
The game was red-hor from start to finish on account of the
beating received last year at Skagway’s hands and there was great
rejoicing in the Scout camp after their return to the Barracks
over their victory*
The game was almost a one-sided affair until the ninth inning
when Skagway managed to bring in two runs. Last year the Scouts
lost to Skagway by about the same score and naturally feel proud
over their victory.
Scouts: 0 1 6 0 I 0 C - 8.
Skagway*0 000002-2.
