This game made three victories for the Legion which has to win but one more to clinch the 1932 chamnionship. Claud Erskine pitehed for the winners and coast- ed through easily. The Elks used four pitchers — Manning, Koski,| MacSpadden and Andrews, none of 'vhom could stop the sluggers of vhe Legion outfit. Score in Fourth The game started off like it was goinz to be & duel of twirlers. For three innings neither team saw plate. Both pitchers were work- ing like well-regulated machines. Only. 12 batters faced ‘Erskine in the fist four frames. One of them, Boyd singled in the second but vas doubled on the next play. The Vets had three runners on in the first three frames, but none | of them came close to scoring. The; penetrated Manning's de- livery in the fourth for three runs .on five hits. A two-bagger by Haines, followed by singles by Cooper and Mathison, a walk to Blake and singles by Bill Schmitz and Garn did the damage, Haines, Cooper and Mathison counting. Barrage in Fifth Th Elks scored ene run In the first of the fifth on three safe- ties. Boyd opened with a single and was sent around the diamond on ingles by McCloskey and Manning. Then came the deluge. The Vets unlossed a barrage of hits that paraded four pitchers across the mound and resulted in 13 runs.
