TRY TO DRINK L COMPANION ELKS BOW ONCE | MORE T0 SQUAD Island Team—Bebu!s Upon Playing Field with Fire- man-Haunting Suits Undaunted by the red spots aanc- ing before their eyes as the Doug- las Islanders cavorted in their flam- ing new uniforms, the Elks settled down to play baseball last evening at Firemen's Park, and made a right good job of it until the sixth in- ning, when a pair of Purple bobbles and a double let the Islanders stow the game away, 3 to 2. The Elks were handicapped by lack of players and had to draft Ed Atkinson from the minors, on the spot, in order to field a complete squad. But, behind effective hurling by “Big Mac” :iacSpadden, that haphazard Elks lineup held the vaunted Island clouters well shack- led and scoreless until the blow- off. Those new scarlet Douglas play- ing suits are something to have seen and are highly reminiscent of the blaze that consumed their predeces- sors. An imposing array of red the Douglas squad presented from knee to neck, but the rest of the garb was hardly in “eeping, it being players’ choice where sox were con- cerned, and headgear being notic: ably absent. All scarlet are the pant, and more scarlet the shirts, with white collar trimming and Doug- las emblazoned in white across the chests, Elks Score First Not only did the Elks hold the Islanders scoreless for five innings, but themselves were first to score, pushing across two markers in the fifth frame. MacSpadden started the assault with a walk, reached second on a steal and, after two ou's were made, was singled home by Frank Good, who took second on the throw to the plate. Heister followed Good with a single that went through Claude Erskine in left to led Good in with thé second run. Douglas made a mighty threat in the first inning, putting men on third and second with none out, on a single by Roller and a double py Manning, but MacSpadden settled down to whiff Erskine and Gray,| and Andrews popped out to Hag- erup, The game decision in the last of the sixth was opened by Roller, who reached first on a wild throw by Bardi. Manning lofted one to left center and Good and Johnson crashed in trying for it, the ball rolling free to put Roller and Man- ning on second and first, respec- tively. A pop foul accounted for Erskine, but Red Gray then won his own ball game with a double to! right, the throw-in to the plate let- ting him go to third, from where he scored ‘the winning run on a Three double plays, two by Doug- | las, highlighted the game and cut | short early inning threats. Though ! Bud Foster may have been gazing at the gall game in reverse di- rection, from s strange post on the initial sack, he had the proper slant on the ball while in the hit- ters box, driving out three clean sin- gles in three times at the plate to léad all hitters for the evening. Red, Gray, the reformed cascher, had the Elk hitters fairly well baffled from the mound, rolling up a string of nine strikeouts. Five hits was the limit for both teams, but Doug- las got both the extra-base clouts. SCORE BY INNINGS 12 ] ELKS DOUGLAS THE BOX ELKS Blake, c¢ Foster, 1b Bardi, 3b Johnson, cf C.
