Skagway
1905-5-17 The White Pass Athletic Club of Skagway, looked upon as the champions of Alaska, will tour the pacific coast states this summer.
"Last season the Skagway team cleaned up everything it went up against. Owing to the great distance between that city and the expense attached to bringing a team either from Dawson to Skagway or vice versa, no series of games can with profit be arranged between those two fast aggregations.
1905-5-28 Lineups for Skagway-White Horse game.
1906-5-26 Skagway took doubleheader from Juneau and White Horse - received the $125 prize and challenge cup. Are baseball champions. Lee Gault won both games of the doubleheader for Skagway (iron man). Skagway lineup listed.
Dawson plays a speedy game but she is not looked upon as traveling in the same company with Skagway. In her pitching staff, Skagway has a bunch of twirlers which will give any men in the amateur class a run for their money. O'Brien is a bush leaguer from Southern California, while Barragar and Oleson have always made reputations with the amateurs in the states.
Capt. Ed Barry, who holds down the short stop position, is as fast as they make 'em. That little fellow scampers around the diamond like a scared cat on the top of a fence. Barry is without doubt the best short stop in Alaska and could hold his own with many of them in the states.
Skagway will, however, be handicapped by the loss of Sanford, who played left field for the team last year. Sanford was there with the stick and as a "pitch" hitter led the bunch. Business compelled Sandford to return to Seattle, where he will remain indefinitely. Sanford won many games for Skagway by lambasting out a timely hit when the souses were needed to bring in the runs. Capt. Barry states that the team would also make arrangements to play a series at the Lewis and Clark exposition."
