skagway Wants Games.

The Skagway basketball players are now beginning to feet their oats and the boys from there, who are here attending the sessions of the district court, bring the report that there are two teams in the northern city which are fast and good basket ball players. There are also two ladies teams.
 V. Dortero stated today that the Slagway team is very anxious to get games with some other team from this section. At the present time the players are all busy with their railroad duties, and it would be almost impossible for them to get away, but 1t any team from the channel can arrange to go north, suitable terms can be made with the Skagway players. Mir. Dortero also stated that a little later it may be possible for enough of the Skag- way men to get away to make a team to visit the channel, In that case a challenge will probably be issued by the Skagway men and an effort will be made to arrange a se- ries of games.

PUTS 1T OVER LOCAL
 FIVE PLAYERS

In one of the fastest and clean est games of basketball on the chan mel for years, the Juneau high school team went down to defeat last night before the Wrangell Ath- letic club team by score of 35 to IT. Juneau was outweighed and the Wrangell team had it on them in experience, but every man on both teams played for all there was in him, every minute of the game,
 The Juneau team members were nervous during the first half and did not cover their men as they should. and they were also unable to hite the baskets The first half ended with the score 20 to 3 in favor of Wrangell.
 At the start of the second half, the local boys nervousness had worn off and they went in to win. They were too far behind to catch up, however, Very few personal fouls were called on either side and the game was absolutely clean, from the standpoint of basketball.
 Every man on the Wrangell team played a good game Burford, for the high school, played rings around his opponents and during the sec ond half especially was able to make several field goals from difficult angles. Sabin was seemingly un- able to miss his free throws and was as steady as a clock during the game. The other team members gave excellent support.
 The star game of the evening was that between the Freshles and So- phomores of the high school. The game was fast and each of the team members was in the game all the time. Joe Mclaughlin, diminutive Charles Ashby, for the soDhomores, and "Cap" Koskey and young Me- Kinnon, for the freshmen, played star games
 The teams lined up as follows
