He hit well somehow he lacked the inspira- tion to become a standout. Per- haps it was the second division complex which seemed to cloak the Boston Bees. Now that the big blonde batter is with the New York Giants, Na-| run output fairly well matched that of the leading clouters of the National League. Only Mel Ott, Chuck Klein and Gabby Hartnett outrank him among home hun hit- ters in the senior circuit. A bad break in the season open- er put Berger on the sidelines for the first month. He was shag- {ging flies in the outfield before the game when a wind-blown drive cracked his right index finger. The |finger was dislocated as well and the result was that Wally wore a cast for several weeks. The injury ,has not completely healed and even {now occasionally bothers him. The New York Giants have had 'their eye on Berger for 'some time. With injuries keeping Hank Leiber and Joe Moore on the sidelines and Mel Ott floundering in the worst slump of his career, Bill Ter- ry made a determined bid and fi- nally landed his man. | DAUGHTER BORN TO | JERRY MKINLEYS Friends are extending congratu- enough, and mighty hard, too. But| has celebrated his 31st birthday.| The ‘Extra-inning” Elks worked {themselves overtime again last eve- |ning in Douglas, but to no avail, 'as the Moose, irate over the Pur- ples’ spoiling their apparent ninth- linning win, went out and shook itheir Black Legs around the paths |a full seven times in the first of the tenth, to walk off the field with 12 to 5 victory in the Elks ‘at |home” on the Island. | Hilding Haglund was the fair- thaired boy who broke the 4 to 4 tie under which the two teams had la- bored since the seventh inning, when the Moose put across two runs to even the Elks’ early lead. Haglund booted one on the nose and sent it sailing far and high to bounce off the light wires in deep left over into the hap crop, where i{the pellet hid long enough to allow iHaglund to scamper all the way i'roundA Being as that-smack came !in the first of the ninth, things |looked fairly rosy then for the Paps, 'and continued to take on an even jmore rosy hue as the first two men jup for the Elks in the last of the inning quickly bit the dust. Mightiest Break | Dick McDonald came up then to ,eross the Moose, however, demon- |strating to the home folks that | he had not lost his punch by lacing 1a two-bagger into left field to set jthe stage for the mightiest break lof the day. Molly MacSpadden bounced what appeared to be a \cinch for Fritz Schmitz to gobble |up, but just as Fritz was ready to Ituck it away, the ball took a side- ways skip into the old cellar in right field, to put McDonald across for the run that once more equalled the score, and sent the game into the dime frame. Fat grew the batting averages of the Moose as they hit around in |the first half of that tenth inning. {Five bingles rolled off their war- 'clubs to combine with a walk and ‘Bud Foster’s second wild and wooly I | heave of the game to chalk up sev- \lations to Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Mc- en runs off Hurler Koski and put Kinley upon the birth of a daugh- a period to his mound chores.
