A second contest will take place
tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock
between the five-men teams, and
on Monday evening there will be a
' tree for all" in singles and doubles, j
The Elks have declared "Open
House"' for «U these contests and
visitors will be made welcome.
The Whitehorse star in speaking
'»f the above contest, which has
been of annual occurence for a
long time, says in its issue of yes
terday.;
"The safe and sane, tried and
• rue team of bowlers which will
Vav,. this morning to wrest victory
t:i those salt water-logged Skag-j
a vans is made up of the following
eni>wnt-d players: R. C. Miller, W.
I. Phel:<s, O. Dickson, Chas Gr-eime,
'ad K. W. Gibson. The handicap!
vhi' h will be allowed the Skagway
team will be arranged after our j
team arrives. It will probably be
about 25 per cent"
White we of Skagway are perfect-1
ly willing, aye, even anxious, to '
dmit the skiflfuj efficiency of the
Whitehorse bowlers we can only do,
- did Jimmy Barrager in the early
days, when he'was captain of the
skagway baseball team, leave the;
mottling of all disputed points "To
o Book," and in so doing have
:t unable to find even the most j
emote record of the Whitehorse |
bowlers having ever scored a single j
victory 'n their numerous excursions j
cvvr to this "surf-washed -villa,",
in an ef.'ort to lift the international
trophy.
We believe the Whitehorse team
""ill he no more 9uccssful in its
present venture than on former oc
casions of a like nature, for al
* hough its individual members may
have become more expert through
constant practice the team as a
whole is weaker by reason of car
rying more weight than it legi
timately should, for in bringing over
"Stroller" "White as its mascot and.
Leo Simmons as substitute it is
foredoomed to ignominious defeat.
