As they THREE HOMERS Last Circuit Smash Comes, in Seventh With Three On and Two Out | ! Out of the shadow of final de-| feal ir the Little World's Series, | the Elks last night were brought back to even terms With the American Legion by the big bat of Jimmy Manning who hit three home runs to win for his team | almost single handed. The EIks | won 9 to 8 and of its nine scores | Manning drove in five and scored | three lLimself. | The finish was dramatic, one | of those . situations that baséball | fans read about but seldom see. | Since the first inning, the EIKs | had been running in the ruck, as far as six runs behind at one| time. Two Homers Insufficient It was the last of the seventh inninz, the final frame of what! looked like the closing game of the Little World's Series. For the score stood at 8 to 5 for the Le-/ gion. Three runners were perch-| ed atop bases, waichful, hopeful,| but nol any too expectant. There were two out. Two strikes and two balls had been counted on th: batter—Jimmy Manning. Twice before Manning had kept the Bills in the running with ter- rific homerun clouts. The first was in the second inning when, with two hands down and none on base, he smashed the ball high to the top of the little green house. Again in the sixth, with Boyd and Androws riding the lines, he blast- ed his second circuit blow deep into the berry garden on the left field foul line. Both times he hit a groove ball about waist high. Fans on Edge Now he was facing the greatest test of a batter. One strike left, the tying runs on bases and upon him rested the only hope for his team tc win the game and stay in E s picture. “A homer, Jim- my,” pleaded the Elks' rooters. “Set him down, Claud,” roared the Ve’ fanatics. Slowly Claud winds up. Then his arm comes sweeping forward and his body pivots and follows | through in perfect form. It was | a fasi ball, waist high—and in the groove. Almost en exact replica of the other two pitches that Manning had clouted out of the park. Jimmy sees i, wo. With per- fect timing he swings hard and puts the whole weight of his body into the swing. The crash of the bat against the ball tells the story. Tt rises on a graceful arc and descends back of left center to th» top of the little green house, inches only away from the spot wherz his first homer had landed. With it, the shadow of final de- feat was lifted at least for the day. Given Great Ovation Manning was given a great ova- tion by the fans, backers of both teams and players themselves join- ing in recognition of his feat, the first time in the history of the League that any batter had homer- ed ? times in a single game this wonderfu PLUMBING - “We tell The World’s Finest OIL.

The American Legion and Elks Clubs have won three games each and the seventh and decid- ing game will be played this ev- ening at City Park. A record-breaking gate is vir- tually assured, last night's thriller assurad that. And a desperate strugsle is predicted. Pitching selections for the bat- tle were a trifle uncertain this afternoon. For the Legion, Jack Schmitz seemed to be the logical choic:, as he hasn't been called on t7 hurl since last Tuesday. Erskine, who pitched Wednesday and Thursday, doesn't appear to be in the picture although he could be used for rellef work if it should become necessary. The Elks' cholce 1s more diffi- ning. Boyd opened it with al All other games postponed on|cult. Manning's pitching arm isn't single. Andrews was safe when accouni of rani. on a par with his batting eye. | Baker played butter-finger with/ Juneau City League Probably he won't be started.
