Tom Martin spoiled that dream of glory, Lowever, by lashing out a double in the fourth inning. Martin got no further than second, though, and it secmed as though Claude was in line for a shutout until the sixth, when Converse'’s single was followed by Fritz Schmitz's three-bagger, to Converse with the only Moose 1ker of the game. Last Inning Rally in t fi or Lit to open the ninth for the Moose, but in vain. The only other Black Scx to reach fist was Haglund, who wus nicked by one of Erskine's| pitches in the opening frame, but Andrews snared Martin's drive and stepped on first to double Haglund and end the inning.

Though Nick Johnson, (Elk hurler and outfielder, had a wide edge on the other hitters, standing alone above 400, and two Islanders, Red Gray and Walt An- drews, were next in line, the Moose ~ |proved that their firrst half win ~ |was no fluke by placing four hitters in the select circle, more than any other squad.
