who gave his services without enumeration. One
club received sixty-seven applications for positions on
its nine in one day, from ex-professionals who tlocked
to Dawson.
Prior to the second game between the two rivals,
the two thousand odd business men and miners who
were extreme partisans of the American club were
panic stricken by its inability to defeat the Gandolfos,
the game ending in q tie. Many hedged in their
wagers, but the majority of the population believed
that the team was LAYING low" so rs to affect betting.
The ldylerS' enemies charged them with trying to
boost the Gandolfos into first place at the expense of
the Civil Service. Rumors of wholesale corruption in
the leading teams flew around the streets. and players
were accused of selling out. Then the Civil Service
defeated the Amaranth nine, and Dawson was shaken
with more rumors.
On the day of the second game between the leaders,
the camp was in a state of feyerish excitement. One
thousand miners. it was estimated, travelled to Dawson
to see the contest. and in Dawson itself business was
nearly at a standstill.
The Civil Service. with four victories to its credit
and with but one defeat, stood at the head of the list;

a frenzed mob of four Thousand odd raised pande-
monium on the grounds. The attendance rarely fell
below two thousand.
When a number of ball enthusiasts conceived the
idea of forming a league last spring they looked for
ward To- a friendly contest with the sport on a strictly
amateur basis. In accordance with their idea, the
Civil Service team was to consist of Canadian govern
mcnt officials; the Idyle Hour and Amaranths of the
members of two clubs by those names, and the Can
dolfo, the fourth nine, of young men about town.
\ series OF games to be played in the evenings was
arranged for the two months during which there is
daylight up to midnight, the league having secured the
use of the police parade grounds in Dawson two nights
each week. 1t all looked lovely on paper, and the league

little wholesome amusement.

excitement beyond the mobbing of the umpire in the
second contest. That official was discharged and the
position was taken by Leroy Tozier, an American
lawyer, who for two months ruled the diamond with a
despotic hand.
The rivalry among the mines and their partisanS was
good-natured until the third game, when the Idyle

hit in the last inning of the next to the last game
OF the season decided the championship Of the Yukon
and central and southeastern Alaska.
Almost from the beginning of the season, it was
war to the knife between the two leading mines and
their partisans. Money was flung around with the pro-
verbal recklcSSneSs of a mining community. The
managers of the different league teams. of which
there were four. were charged with bribery. corrup-
ton and intimidation. one narrowly escaping mobbing
by an excited populace. Some were accused of
intriguing, forming combinations and throwing"
games. though the sport in the main was fair. 1t
was not until long after the close of the season, how
ever. that several managers recovered their lost
standing in the community.
The members of the different mines lived in the
glare of a suspicious publicity, being constantly
watched by the rival factions. If one stopped on the
street to speak to the manager of an opposing team it
was such strong evidence of crooked sport in the eyes
ct the excited klondikers that betting was Immediately

Baseball held undisputed sway in the public mind

which seemed likely to plunge hundreds into bank

out the dumps. But all thought of the country's
prosperity was thrown to the winds. The baseball
