NOME. ALASKA. APRIL 13. 1915.
ALASKA’S CHIEF SPORT.
Since long before the (lavs forty
centuries ago when old King Menes
hurled the javelin in friendly rivalry
with his warrior chiefs, mankind
throughout the ages and regardless nt
race or clime, has at all times been
more or less interested in sports. Tests
of strength, skill and dexterity have
ever furnished a strong appeal and
hardly the nation of which we have
authentic record hut had its heroes
who owed their prestige to their ability
in the particular class of sports t«
which the people of their race were
most devoted.
In the days when Greece was ai the
height of national grandeur, and her
reputation for martial deeds had been
almost forgotten in the subsequent
brilliant period of Intellectuality and
culture, the Inherent love of the human
race for feats of strength, skill and
endurance found expression in the fam
ous Olympic games, the records of
whose laurel crowned heroes have been
preserved even to tho present day. In
Greece, perhaps more than any other
nation of which we have record, sports
leached tho highest development and
were regarded with nn interest by the
people to which all other interests were
but secondary. To be the winner of the
chief event, to wear the hays of victory
won on the athletic field, was to he tlie
idol of tho nation, to bo lifted to a pin
nacle of greatness before which the
famo of scholar, poet, philosopher and
warrior paled into insignificance.
Through the succeeding ages, the fame
i'f those who excelled in tho national
sports of the many nations have been
preserved and show most conclusively
the inborn love of mankind for the
friendly rivalries of peace. Many cen
turies have passed since the youths of
Greece strove for the laurel wreath:
times, conditions, habits and modes of
thought have changed; new ideas have
emerged into existence, mankind itself
has changed but still that ancient
adulation of the hero of the athletic
field survives and will doubtless never
lie eradicated as long as the blood of
man flows warm and red and human
hearts respond to the straining surge
of trained and seasoned muscles and
sinews, be they of man or beast.
Every nation has had a particular
variety of sports to which they were
most devoted. In the later periods the
tendency has been ever farther and
farther away from those sports which
savored of brutality and ferocity, such
as characterized the sporting amuse
ments of ttie Romans. Strength, en
durance, courage are none the less re
garded. hut there has been an ever in
creasing tendency to eliminate all hint
of roughness and brutality and to ele- C
rate skill and endurance rather than
brawn and savage strength This has
naturally resulted in hrlnglng into be
ing a new class of sports from which i
practically all such objectionable ele- t
ments have been eliminated.
Among this class, where the spirit ,
of rivalry is preserved while all that \
savors of the inhuman and brutal is t
discarded, is that sport to which we of
the Northland are most devoted, name- .
ly, dog racing. There is probably no i
cleaner, more elevating form of rivalry |t
than is displayed in the several races. | J
long and short, which are run in this
locality every winter and none in which i
the courage, strength and endurance of (
the competitors are bettor tried.
Despite a contrary belief held in
some quarter even the longest and
hardest of these tests contain hut little
trace of anything inhuman Occasion- s
ally a dog or man is slightly frost hit- i
ten with little resultant harm to either. :
but aside from this there is absolutely i
no objectionable fen Hires To the unin- '
it la ted it may appear that the driving '
of the faithful animals oyer such a
lengthy course ss is undertaken in the
long journey lo Candle and return,
must necessarily entail great hardship
and suffering but such is not the case.
The dogs arc of a class naturally fitted
to the task, chosen for speed and en
durance and are trained to the hour, as
is also the driver who pilots the can
ine team over the far spreading snowy
wastes. To animals of this class, a
journey of fifty or sixty miles in one
| day is a mere Jaunt—almost nothing,
i That this is so is frequently detnon
11strated when on arriving at the end of
j such n journey, two and sometimes
j three men are required to hold the res
jiive animals. The constant tendency
i tu improve the strain has resulted In
I the development of what is practically
* a new breed of dogs nne in which the
* highest qualities of intelligence
1 strength and endurance are developed
f and which are capable of the most J
® astonishing efforts To animals of this
1 class no harm resulls from even a four
s hundred mile journey in which they are
s driven at a speed requiring the max
v Imum of effort to maintain.
The people of the North are no less
t sensntlve than those of other dimes
* and none are quicker to resent all ilint
savors of the inhuman and brutal,
hence from their remarkable interest in
this class of sport it may ho inferred
that it contains no element of such na
ture. It is our personal view that (here
is no cleaner or better sport to he found
'ltd as such we believe it is generally
recognized by all who are acquainted
with its features. Not only has this
pastime of ours gained a peculiar hold
i on the interest of the people of Alaska,
1 hut that interest extends also to lands
1 far beyond the sea and among people
1 who have no idea of the features of
t this, our chief Alaska sport other than
I are conveyed to them through the
i medium of the press.
