ATHLETICS WIN
FROM FIREMEN
In spite of the Inclement_weath
er last night there was a good re
presentative crow) of Skagwayans
present to witness the third sched
uled game In the contest for su
premacy in bacla-t ball between the
Volunteer Fire Department team

I'll6 rtrtit half wafl JfOH bf j
Athlet'cs by. a scor# of His to ttr«<
and the Becond half by it score of
thirteen to twelve.
Throughout the entire f,ame, first
one sidg and then th<* o-ther took
the lead, and the wildest excite
ment prevailed among the audlanee
as to the players struggled d«per
ately for pre-eminence.
The spectacular feature# of the
game were helghtnd by the new uni
forms which the teams wore: the
Firemen t appearing In dark blue
jerseys with a white baad across
the breast, upon which the letters
S. P. D. In red, while the Athletlca
wore black Jerseys with the letter
ing W. P. A. C. la red surmounted
by the wlugs of Mercury on the
breast. '
In spite of the fact that for a
short time the band "was called out
by the alarm of fire, several dancca
were enjoyed by the audience and
players af'er the game.
During the game field goals
were thrown for the Athletics,
Friedeuthal, l; Liddlcoat, 1; Tal

men, McKeuzle, 2; Ask, 1; Sparks,
