There was a game of baseball be- tween Douglas and the White Pass Athletics yesterday 'ternoOn on the local diamond and those who braved tEe wintry winds saw mighty eXhib- bitiOn of pitching-and that was about all. A young gentleman named Walsh mounted the mound for the Athletics and the doughty Douglas batsmen spent seven futile innings breaking their backs trying to Diff his benders. But they only tapped him for three measly hics and if his support had been errOrlesS Walsh would have made a shutcut. As it was he struck out eight men and didn't issue a single pass. He didn't seem to be trying very hard either.
 Kilbuck of Douglas was easy to solve and the Athletics garnered ten safe hits off him which resulted in half as many runs. One of the runs vas q plain steal, however. In the second inning in coming home from second. Rappuz2i cut third base by fifteen feet. Rock didn't see him and the score stood. The crowd in the grand stand saw RappuzZis trick, however and hooted so much that Jimmy Rock, who officiatcd, gave up his job in disgust and was succeeded by Fred Hastings of Juneau.
 Rappuzzi did not do a clever thing when he cut third base. It's farmer play that won't work one time in fifty with q watchful umps and farther more it is deliberate and unsports' manlikc transgrcsSion of the rules. It vas the only unpleasant feature of yesterdays game.
 These are the details of the fray, gentle reader:
 Coughlin flew out to Gault. Cook rolled down to short that McBrien issed. Cook stole second. Dore- mus famed. Cook went third on a. rassed ball and it looked as if q. run was coming, but Walsh settled down to business and StOft emulated the mighty Casey.
 McBrien flew out to Spence. Blan' chard hit safe over second. Mcintyre sacrificed and Blanchard went second Phelps rolled a slow one to third and went first. Blanchard by speedy base running made third. Gault famed.

Walsh started for first on a dropped third strike and Seymore came home. Walsh was out. Cook dropped Dore- mus's throw and Rappuzzi came in cutting third base. McBrien knocked enc to third and was thrown out at first.
 Kilbuck made first on Rappuzzi's error in the third inning. Mcintyre dropped the throw and Kilbuck chased to second. Carpenter struck out. Coughlin drove a safe hit past Rap puzzi and Kilbuck scored. Cook drove q hot one to Blanchard who threw Coughlin out at second. Doremus flew out to Gault.
 Blanchard got a single and went to second when Doremus let wild one go by. Mcintyre singled, and stole second. Mark Phelps pasted out a peach and Blanchard did the prodigal son stunt. Gault flew out. Seymore sacrificed and Mcintyre scored. Rap puzzi drove a sizzler that hit the Hume and bounced back into the dia- mond. Phelps scored on 1t, O'Con- nell was thrown out on bunt.

 This was the prayer voiced by about 500 persons at Whitehorse last Saturday, but the rain refused to go away and the cold unintermittent dri'' gle which fell during the entire day put a damper on the enthusiasm.
 It was impossible to pull of the pre- sam of sports-with the exception Of one four inning baseball game, q base running contest and the bowling as the athletic field was a Quagmire.
 Had the weather been good the Vic tyria day celebration would have been successful in every particular. More than $7OO was offered in prizes, four baseball teams were present to con test. and more than 25O visitors were in WhitehurSe.
