Description	The Dyea Trail, June 25, 1898, headlined "A Great Game of Ball," reports that Dyer is to play Skagway "tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock on the beach..." The article gives a roster of both teams. Some sources say the infamous can man "Soapy" Smith formed the Skagway club. The Juneau "Daily Alaska Dispatch" May 21, 1900 reports that the Skagway "boys" (ages 15-17) challenge Juneau boys to a game. The Fairbanks "Daily News-Miner," June 1, 1910, reports than in the annual three-cornered baseball tournament at Whitehorse, the Juneau club won over Whitehorse, Skagway and a team from Douglas Island. Skagway AK (1900 pop. 1,800) is about 110 miles N of Juneau. Whitehorse (Yukon Terr., Canada) is about 110 miles N of Skagway. Douglas Island is across the strait from Juneau.
