Description

"Little else about baseball appeared in Dawson’s newspapers until 1901. That July, the local Gandolfos – along with many townspeople – journeyed down the Yukon River via steamboat to Eagle, Alaska. There a team from Fort Egbert, a recently-created U.S. Army headquarters, awaited them. The Dawson team, named after merchant Joseph Gandolfo, romped. A week later, on Friday, August 2, the Gandolfos hosted a re-match"

 

"In May 1903 residents formed the Dawson Baseball League for the coming season. The circuit consisted of four teams: the Civil Service (Canadian government officials), Gandolfos (again backed by Joseph Gandolfo), Amaranths (a social club), and Ye Idyle Hours (another social club, mostly American)."

Win/Loss Records As Far As We Now Know

Warning: Users should not rely on a team's won-loss record as a reflection of its "standing" among all base ball clubs. Team schedules were not balanced, and a good record against mostly weak opponents does not signify a leading club.
