S WE'RE DOIN' A SWELL JOB IF I DO SAY SO. DGUGLAS COFS HURLING DUEL, . FREAK SINGLE Erskine Takes 1-0 Win Over Foster and Elks— Game Tonight, Douglas Douglas diamond magic last eve- ning composed one run out of a sclid double, a freak single and an untamed heave, as the Islanders climbed into first place in the Gastineau Channel League aver- ages at the expense of the EIks. The pitchers were the big guns of yesterday's nine-inning affair and both Bud Foster, Elks' chuk- er, and Claude Erskine, his Douglas opponent, went to their posts load- ed for elephant, at least. After a narrow thing for Erskine in the opening inning, both hurlers breezed along in untroubled fa ion, high-handedly chilling off hit- ters in no uncertain manner, as six scoreless frames slipped by. It was in the first of the seventh that the Do s brew came to boil The inning before had seen a flur- ry of red-suited excitement as a possible run reached third base, but that cast had fizzled. A resound- ing smack opened the Douglas drive, Mark Jensen leading off with a two-base clout to deep right- center. - A pop-foul gathered in by the Elk catcher, Addleman, laid one Islander away and brought Bobby Benner to bat. Bonner had been the only Douglks lad to err afield during the game, but had more than evened off his muffs with a pair of ringing drives down the third-base line. Not to be caught McAlister, Elk hot corner sentry, moved over almost on top the base, where he waited for Bonner to pole the horseside his way. It came his way, but not quite as expected. It came as a short, twisting, dipping, outlandish lob that settled out of the reach of pitcher, shortstop and just too far away for McAlister to pluck from where he was playing. When Mc- Alister did gather the ball in on the bound, it was too late to keep Jensen from spiking third and with but @ bare chance to beat Bonner to first. Throwing on the run and out of position, McAlister heaved wild over first, letting Jensen score the all- important run, while Bonner went around to second, where he died. Coming in for their turn at bat, the Elks were really determined to score, but a squeeze play blew up on them when Hagerup forgot to bunt at the scheduled moment and Forsythe was forced back to third base and tagged out. A single and two pilferings had advanced For- sythe to the third station. That was the last Elk effort, a lone single in the last of the ninth being all they could add the rest of the game. After getting away to a weak start, when he granted two singles in a row with only one out in the first inning, Erskine ranged his sights on the plate and pitched beautiful baseball. Foster’s pitching performance was likewise decidedly top-notch, and, though the Elk hurler did not quite match Er- skine's work, it was no fault of his that the game was lost. Both ends of the batteries en- joyed heyday’s yesterday, the catch- ers of both squads coming in for their shares of glory through rifled throws that picked four would-be base-stealers off at second. Each receiver nipped off two scalps. The same two squads are due to meet tonight in a seven-inning tilt to be played on the Douglas diamond, a game postponed from May 31. McAlister is ready to take the mound for the Purples as they try to climb back into the league lead. Just who Douglas will pitch now that Erskine has done his long-awaited bit is not yet decided Tonight's battle is to get under way at the regular time, 6:30 o'clock, weather permitting. again, SCORE BY INNINGS Team 123456789-RHED Douglas 0000001001 6 2 Elks 0000000000 5 3 Douglas AB R H PO A Roller, ss % N A g Erskine, p DT S A T , Grant, ¢ 3 40% 113 4 Andrews, 1b e W SR R Jensen, 3b e B o T | Ward THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY, JUNE 13, 1938.

LEAGUE Hawkers 'fin‘;flen Picket on Ball Park—Change Their Minds (By sociated Press) The hawkers at the Sacramento Baseball Park in Sacramento, who threatened to abandon their pea- nuts and hot dogs for picket signs, turned to the conference table “to settle their labor disputes, while the Solons held on to a three-game lead in the Pacific Coast League by win- ning five out of seven games from Hc.*ywood, including one game of a doubleheader Sunday. The hawkers lost interest in the Sunday games when several conces- sicn employes were dismissed and members of the CIO affiliated union threatened to picket the ball park. The Seals gained one game on the Senators when they won a pair from Portland. Seattle started last week in third place and ended it in seventh place. Seattle climaxed a very unpleasant week at Los Angeles by dropping a twin bill. Floyd Olds, veteran . Oakland pitcher, won his first game cf the season wnen he limited San Diego to nine scattered hits on Sunday.
