Baseball was and still is a big sport in the Fairbanks area, and the Van Dykes look like they're ready to become the all-stars for the year. Their major opponent in town was the Californians, and there were probably still teams in outlying areas such as Chatanika and other mining camps. This photograph, taken by Basil Clemons, is captioned "Van Dyke Team, Fairbanks, Alaska. July Fourth 1913." — Candy Waugaman
