THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE POLLY AND HER PALS SAY, UNK, TH' ROSES 15 BEN' GOT AT SOME - TURRIBLE! DOUGLAS STEALS MARATHON GAME ON MOOSE MUFF Ninth Inning Pap Weakness Lets Islanders Cop from Behind in Overtime Toiling resolutely through seem- ingly endless innings, Left-winged Johnny Smith, stalwart of the Mo pitching staff, saw his nar- row one-run lead over the Douglas Islanders twice kicked away behind until in the darking reaches thirteenth inning his arm could no longer keep on leash the red- clad sluggers, weakening at the last to let an Island runner stride acros the plate with the run that blasted the 2 to 2 deadlock of last eve- ning’s Gastineau Chanunel League game. P 1ed by fluke and bobble, Smith matched pitch for pitch with both the top Douglas chuckers, Dave Turner and Claude Erskine, and it was only through a combination of unhappy circumstances that a dying effort of the Douglas Fire- men in the ninth inning resulted in a knotted score and extra in- nings; extra innings from which the 1 landers scratched out their nar- row victory while the Moose again tumbied to solitary confinement in the ‘league dungeon. Mix Again Tonight Buf, though in lonely possession of the league’s cellar spot after fall- ing behind the Islanders Sunday the Moose will have more than an n chance to climb back up and share second position with the Doug- las nine this evening, when the two teams meet again to play off their seven-inning game twice-postponed from May 24. Advantage in pitch- ing will lie with the Moose tonight; for, while Smith was going the whole route, the Islanders sent both their prize flingers into the fray yesterday, and now will have (o oppose the slants of the Moose’ Kim- ball and Converse with only the tailings of their pitching staff. Heart-racking from all arlgles was last evening’s ball conflict, wherein eleven errors, made by the two teams, did more to settle the out- come than resulted from the same |though able to connect safely only| snow well-distributed hits. | once, yumber of Both errors and hits were appor- tioned on six to five basis, with the Moose coming in for the six cut of both classifications and thereby their own undoing through that odd error. Fluke Spoils Win And odd indeed was that odd er- ror, that chanced in the last half of the ninth, when, leading two runs to one and moving through the pre- ceding innings in well-oiled fashion, the Moose seemed to have thegame all but tucked away in their war bag. It was just one of those too-easy pop flies. Blooping off the bat of Claude Erskine, it lobbed its short parabola through the skies to come to rest in the ready mitt of Moose short-patcher Jack Schmitz — but only momentary rest, for, screwing from his clutch it tumbled to the clay while Erskine spurted his way to first base. Then followed two fast infield outs that should have brought the game to an end, but instead forced Erskine and left Sammy Nelson on first base. Still, however, the game seemed “he property of the Moose, for two strikes were quickly called against Mark Jensen, the “last chance” hit- ter. Then, either unthinking or tired, Smith tossed a soft pitch down Jensen’s slot. Lofting from Jensen's bat, the ball arched tantalizingly over second base. Centerfielder Mar- tin did manage to tip it on the run, but from his outstretched glove it squirmed free along the turf, nim- bly dodging pursuing fielders while Nelson sprinted madly around the paths to spike the plate with the run that stretched the battle four frames longer. Through the tenth inning with no one reaching first, the game con- tinued. Short singles to right field opened the eleventh for both teams, but mixed-up bmse running killed off Bob Kimball and the Paps’ chance while. a drive to Martin at center went for a double-killing to nip the Islanders.

But right back came the Moose and, in their next time at the plate the lead again with the one- run advantage that they were to hold till the unhallowed ninth. Tt was a well earned marker that the Moose chalked up in the first of the fourth. Tom Martin was the lead-off hitter that inning, and a free pass put him on first. Then Joe Snow justified his clean-up spot in the batting order with the only extra- base blow of the game, a beautiful two-base drive through the left field fence, putting Martin on third From there he scored on Jack Schmitz' sharp drive to shortstop.
