But, ds for the Moose and Douglas, there was as fine a contest as any fan can hope to see, with the Paps having a slight edge at the plate to nose| out a two to nothing win in nine innings. With both hurlers,” Claude Erskine for Douglas and Tal Pic- inini for the Moose working in fine form and at a great rate of speed, and with hitters and field- ers all in the right spirit and on their toes, the game was played in one hour and forty minutes, less time than is usually taken by a seven period fracas. Hurlers in Good Form Both chuckers allowed only seven | bingles, but Picinini scattered his where they did not damage, except for threats in the second, sixth and ninth, while the Paps hung togeth- er Picinini’s triple and Hawkins’ single for the first tally in the op- the eighth marked up the other counter of the game. Homers Nipped In case two or three feet are ever lopped off the top end of the light pole at the corner of ‘the left field fence under cover of night by per- sons unknown, do not call Philo Vance. Earl Forsythe, Pap short- patcher, will be the nigger in the kindling, for that same light pole niggered Earl out of a circuit clout yesterday in the eigth inning. Earl hit a towering fly, far over the fielder's head and far over the fence, except that on the way to far pastures the ball hit the very tip of the pole and bounced back into the open where it was re- trived by McDonald in time to hold Earl at second.

Close behindd them was For- sythe, with a single and a double in four trips. Everybody played nice bill in the field, with For- sythe, Schmitz and Werner prob- ably doing the best' for the Black- sox, even though Schmitz and Warner did make the only bobbles of the game. Manni MeDonald and Roller were right fn there for the Islanders. Douglad turned in a good enough game yesterday to win nine out of ten Chahnel League contests. i Score by Innings Team 12345 Douglas Moose Box Score Douglas Roller, ss. Jensen, rf Erskine, p.

''The Legion took a slow, | five-frame win from the conglom- erate Purples six to four and no one was sorry when Umpire Haw- kins called the contest on account of darkness.

Sharkey put Win- ston down and out in short order, so short in fact that customers howled “fake”. So the ever-oblig- ing Sharkey, after a few minutes' rest, squared off and knocked the negro out a second time. The cus- tomers were still skeptical to say the least, but the authorities re- fused to permit him to go on knocking ' Winston out until the fans were satisfied that it was on the level. of his younger days.
