THE INTERNATIONAL BASEBALL, f 4
TOHAI1T AT WHITEHORSE
Promptly on time at 5:30 o'clock,
ou the morning of May 29th, the
special excursion train of the W.
1\ & V. K., rolled out of Skagway
ou its way over to Whitehorse with
ubout ^ou carefree and happy peo
ple ou bo.ird bouud ostensibly for
tue interior town to wiuitss an ln
icruatiouai baseball contest between
lL:co te.uis—Skagway, Ft. W. H.
xad Whitehorse—but in
reality, and in addition to the wit
nessing of this exciting event, to
enjoy the well-known hospitality of
oi;r Cau.idi»n neighbors, as we have
anuujll} for the past 15 years.
Although tUere was a drizzling rain
1'alliug when the train pulled out o
Skagway, aj'ter the summit of the'
While i'uis was left behind, with th
exception of a ftw light showers at
\\ hitehorse, the most delightful
weather imaginable was experienced
dun::- the whole time of their ab
S-lJCv*.
The tedium ot the trip was pleas
antly broken at intervals by selec
tions pUyed by tie Skagway brass
baud, which is now under the
leadership of Dr. L. S. Keller. The
run over «*> Whitehorse was a
roivrd-braeker, the train reaching
tii<-re a 10:45—45 minutes ahead
o. schedule. Almost the entire
population of Whitehorse was at the
depot to meet and welcome the ex
cursionists, and r'TUt royally did th
people of that town live up to the
traditions of the past decade and a
half.
i ae oiui game was cuueu ai x.±o
tue "irv-t seven innings contest be
i»U between Skagway and Ft. W. H.
Seward, and was won by the form
er by a see re of o to 2. The game
was of a. sensational character in
ihj 3tU inuiugs when Bledsoe, iu
tue -ight field, reached up with one
hand and nulled down a liard driv
eu liner fruiu among the clouds.
With Bert McKenzie in the pitch
vr'i box and Charley Rapuzzi catch
i M-s*. the battery being ably assisted
!>y Cecil Cole, 1st base; Jas. Barry,
ind base; Louis Rapuzzi, short
siop;—Hunter, third base; Bert
Watts, left field. Harry Ask, center
fi«Hd, an.1 W. Bledsoe, right field,
it was a walkaway for the home
team. McKenzie was in his best
form, and his delivery was almost
j-^rfect, as he fanned out 14 men
la the seveu innings and allowed
the opposing team but one safe
hit. The two runs made by them
were due to errors of Skagway
players.
The same between Skagway and
. Whitehoree was then called, with
l^ouis Rapuzzl in the box, but he
did not have his ' "hibbit'a foot"
A'Uti him, and at the end of the
tiur' innings the Whitehorse team
had the best of it by a score of
3 to 0. At the commencement of
the foirrth innings Rapuzzi was re
tired from the box and MfcKenzie
substituted. There .were the pivotal
iuuinga of the game. The White
horse team was lield down to its
score of *' ree, and when the tome
team came to bat it was with a de
termination to win or die in, the at
tempt. With two men on bases
McKenzie swatted the sphere for
a home run, bringing in the two
base runners and .himself, thus
evening up the score, and with
Cole's three begger and his strong
play o'Ouerally and Bledsoe's nice
little drives, the Whltehorse boys
uever had a chance after the end
of the t>>ird innings.
Every member of the Skagway
team was up on his toes and gave
almost errorless support to the home
battery.
For second money the game be
tween Ft. W. H. Seward and White
horso was won by the former hy a
score oi 14 to 0 in the fifth in
nings, when the latter threw up the
sponge. One oi the principal caus-1
es of the ooor showing of White- [
horeoi with the Ft. Seward team was i
because the team had only one
pitcher on whom to depend, and
when he came to face the boys from
the army post he was already worn
out.
Oa the return trip the Ft. W. ±1. j
Seward team camu over on Satur- i
Say night's train, on which there I
were also a number of excursion- '
ists. The Skagway baseball team,
brass band and the majority of the
people who went over, stayed to
the grand ball given Saturday night
in Whitehorse, and came over on
Sunday morning's train, reaching
h-Te early In the afternoon.
