Athletics Win Cup

It Is all oyer but the shouting, and the reason that there is no shouting today is because those Whq shouted last night have cracked, their voices and are unable to shout some more until they have undergone operations xou their larynx, thorax, uVula, and other or gans of speech and yell.
 The Ffremen's quintet played well They played mighty well. They play ed the best game that they have played this winter, but-the w. P. Athletic club team played just a little bit better, and it must be said that luck had a wee might to do with them getting the last two points, but it must also be admit ted that the lanky Athletics put up beautiful exhibition and played fast and well planned game from start to finish.
 It is all oyer, and today the beautiful silver trophy will be en- graYed with the suitable wording which forever makes it the property of the White Pass Athletic Club, and it will be placed in position of honor alongside Of the goodly number of cups and medals which in years agone this organization has mad won for it its members.
 Alex Blanchard refereed the game Hast night, and he held the players down te real sport, never interfere ling except when it was apparent that all overt act had been commit ted which demanded penalizing.
 When the time keeper blew the whistle at the end of the first half, the score stood fifty-fifty, that is five points each
 For the, Bremen in the first half, Harry Ask made on field basket and one free throw, and Bert Me Kenzie made one field basket. The Athletics tied this score by Liddi- coat making one field basket and Huh making three free throws.
 When time was called for the second half, both teams got right down to business and the work of both quintets was pretty. Each lplayed we'll guarded game, but Ithe Athletics, with Huh, HargraVes and Smith, who must be credited with being slightly more seasoned lplayers than Friedenthal, Watts and Harry Ask, proved too much and wren time was declared by the time keeper, the score had rolled up to twelve to eight in favor of the club team.
 Huh did all the scoring for the Athletics in the last half, making two field baskets and three free Ithrcws. Cleon Ask made one field basket, while Friedenthal made one free throw. He had two other free tries, hu, had hard luck and failed, while one of Huth's field baskets was moro a question of fortune thar a necessarily clever play.
 Outside of these incidents all points made were earned.
 There can be no question in the minds of those who witnessed the game that the Athletics are entitled to the cup, and the Daily Alaskan takes this means of congratulating each and every member of the team for being thorough sports and for having been instrumental in furnish. ing the people of skagway with several good, clean, wholesome eV- e1!pg's entertainment of Basket Ball. iii I,s Is %l
 To the losers, the Elks and the Bremen, The Daily Alaskan offers it's condolences and joins with their many friends in extending to them their heartiest thanks for assisting the White Pass Athletic club sports committee in furnishing the means for the winters entertainment, and it demonstrates that Skagway is nor lacking in timber to promote indoor sports during the winter season. ,risl.
