Description	Reflecting a stampeder’s packing priorities, “The bats were hewed from discarded boat masts and the balls were of all kinds from the ball of twine to the rounded block of wood.” Reflecting available space, they played “on the sandbar in front of town. The gold finds in Dawson in 1896 attracted a lot of American settlers/miners. The "Stiffs" were those who'd already wintered in the Yukon: the Cheechakos, those who hadn't.
