| v BOBBLES PLUS BINGLES GIVE - ELKS VICTORY Turner and Hagerup Give Way to Jensen and Me- Alister as Islanders Lose. Even though yesterday was warm enough to loosen the taughtest mus- cles and limber the most brittle arms, it was no day for pitchers— at least in the Gastineau Channel League. Home runs and two-baggers, singles and stolen bases, plus a few costly_errors, all played their part as the once-lowly Elks marched over the Douglas Islanders for their second straight win this season. Seven runs to four was the final count by which the Purples yester- day firmly established their hold on first place in the league stand- ings; and, of those eleven runs only five were earned. True to predictions, the Island- ers started Dave Turner on the mound against the Elks, but the Purple brain trust crossed the dope by putting Erv Hagerup on the hill. Neither of the starting chuckers managed to last very long, but it was while they were carrying the burden that the battle was won and lost. Share Grief Hagerup was wild to start, but managed to get by the first frame without paying after clipping Eddie Roller with a pitch and walking Andrews. Turner had more success to open with; turning three Elks batters back in a row. The second inning, however, gave both flingers fult shares of grief. The blow fell on Hagerup without warning. First man up, Pinkley sin- gled and was immediately followed by Jensen who laid a long drive through center for four bases and two Island runs. Then came Tur- ner’s turn to feel the pressure. Four Runs Made Turner, freshly returned to the league, was not quite ready so early in the season to turn on full heat, and full heat was what was needed when the Purple bats began to click in that last of the second. A single and a steal for Foster, MacSpadden whiffed; but then—Recruit Her- mann Russell came up with a double, Abramson and Hagerup fol- lowed with singles and Andrews let Bradley’s grounder slip through his s. Four runs were across and the Elks had a lead from which they were never headed. Hagerup stayed on the hill to open the third for the Elks, but, after the first Douglas hitter, Balog, had dropped a double down the third base line it was decided that yes- terday was not Erv's day to shine— so0, McAlister went to the slab to finish the game. McAlister aided himself with a double play to stop the Islanders without a score and then sailed through to the final frame without more than trifling trouble. Jensen Unfortunate That second inning barrage was too much shelling for Turner, how- ever, and Mark Jensen shouldered the hurling duties for Douglas when the Elks came up in the last of the third. Jensen thereupon was ex- ceedingly unfortunate. Addleman opened the Purple at- tack with a single and a steal. For- sythe walked. Next came an easy bounder to Manning with double- play possibilities—but, Manning jug- gled the ball and threw far too high to first, letting Addleman score and Foster fill first and second. MacSpadden drove out a long fly to center, driving Forsythe ‘home while Foster held second. Russell repeated the blow to put Foster on third from where Abramson put him across with his second single in a row. Jensen pulled out then and set- tled down to pitch very fine ball for the rest of the game; giving out only ! three more hits, one of which, in the eighth inning, was killed off by a nice double play started by Jimmy Manning McAlister in Trouble An error was also the cause of grief for McAlister in the first of the ninth, when the Islanders brought the largest crowd of the season to its feet with one of their famed closing minute forays. Pink- Jey again started the affair with a single. He was nipped at second on a fielder’s choice, but third and *second were populated after Bon- ner laced out a _double. Then came the error, and it was McAlister’s owr doing. On a simple play to the | mound he hesitated too long. then hopmers by Goodman and Weaver. a .

The Elk second base combination, Forsythe and Law- son, then ended everything ‘with a sweet twin killing. That same second base combine did noble duty for the Purples all through the contest; Lawson es-| pecially nipping off the Islanders in a very handy manner. Mean- while, Foster and two newcomers | took good care of the offensive busi- | ness. One double, two singles and | safe at first on an error was Foster's score for four trips to the box; while Harold Abramson, besides holding up his end in the outfield, rapped out a pair of singles in four oppor- tunities. Russell, while not busy in centerfield, collected a double and a single at the plate. . The Elks will now get another op- portunity to rest on their laurels, while Douglas and the Moose re- open their feud in a seven-inning Jjoust “tomorrow evening.
