I SAW SEVERAL O' 'EM GROWIN' ISLAND TEAM DEFEATS ELK GUESTS, 1 RUN Douglas Tea; Proves Mud- ding Ability Last Evening —Paps Play Tonight Deluged with rain and base hits, the Juneau Elks' ball team slipped still further from leadership in the Gastineau Channel League last eve- ning, when the Purples journeyed to Douglas to receive a 5 to 4 re- pulse by the Islanders. Rain commenced to fall immed- iately after the game got under way and fell the rest of the con- test, but, miserable as the weather, the red-clad Island nine wiped off their bats and landed on the offerings of the starting EI%s' hurler Ward McAlister. Mc- Alister, unable to control the wet ball, hits for four runs in the second before was yielded up six inning, turning over the mound chores to Harold Abramson. The lanky new porisider for the Purples then did a magnificent job of chucking through the rest of his hill debut to hold the Islanders to one additional score and but four more hits. Meanwhile, his Elk team- mates began to find the soft pitch- es of three Douglas mound-work- ers to give the batch of Island rooters who braved the rain, good cause for worry. One run was counted for the Elks in the first of the third when Forsythe walked and Addleman touched Jensen for a two-bagger A squeeze try failed and Forsythe was nipped, but Addleman ‘was worked to third on the play and came home on a passed ball. More Markers Two more Purple markers rolled across in the fifth frame, when McAlister's single was followed by singles by MacSpadden and Law- son. Forsythe connected for his third hit in three trips in the sixth inning, a double. A passed ball then let him reach third, from where he scored the fourth and final Elk run | on Andrews' muff of a throw to first. Claude Erskine, who replaced Jensen for the sixth inning, was himself pulled out for Turner, as pitcher in the first of the seventh. Turner turned the Elks back one, two, three in their final chance to tie the score. Short rightfield doubles by Grant and Andrews opened the Douglas scoring in the second inning. Then, after a fly-out, the Islanders land- ed on McAlister’s chucking for three singles in a row before the second out was shadowed by a fourth single to aggregate four tallies. Winning Run What proved to be the winning run was added to the Douglas total in the last of the fourth, when Turner singled, Roller walked and Manning arrived with a double. Considering the difficulties of the field and the wet ball, fielding per- formances of both squads were €x- cellent, while good hurling jobs were turned in by Abramson, Jen- sen and Turner. Forsythe, with his three hits, was the top clouter, but was forced by three Douglas sluggers, Man- ning, Grant and Turner, each of whom connected twice. Bill Rob- ertson, league star of two seasons back, who returned to Juneau this week-end, broke back into local ball play as centerfielder for the Elks last night. At bat he showed his former remarkable ability for drawing walks. Game Tonight The Islanders will remain on their home diamond for the sched- uled contest this evening, when they will entertain a Moose squad made more powerful by the arrival today of Hilding Haglund, fleet center-gardener, who has been do- ing his baseball bit for Whitman College. Tonight's battle will be another seven-inning affair, due to get under way on the Douglas field at 6:30 o'clock, weather permitting. Either Erskine or Turner is ready to hurl for the league-leading home team, while Bob Kimball's number is up to pitcher for the cellarite Moose. The Moose have chartered a special bus, for the players and wives, which will leave the bus station at 6 o'clock tonight for Douglas, if the weather permits of | a game, POLLY AND HER PALS Team Elks Douglas THE BOX SCORE AB R H PO A MacSpadden, 1b . 4 1 1 9 1 Lawson, 2b G 1 Foster, 3b 4% 8 8 0 BT e Y SR 0 Bandiin 0: 10 D - e S U B A Addleman, ¢ - N RN O ol McAlister, p, rf .3 1 1 0 2 Totals 27 4 7 18 18 —Abramson replaced McAlister as pitcher, last half of third inning Douglas AB R H PO A Roller, ss Jriagvag- oF & Manning, 3b 429912 1T *Erskine, Im, p, rf4 0 1 1 2 Grant, ¢ Gl @ Bl Andrews, 1b e ek e TS 1) *Jensen, p, If G e ey L Bonner, 2b Beodnt i Niemi, cf - Do s, slth | *Turner, rf, p A e Totals 28 5 10 21 17 _Erskine replaced Jensen as pitcher in first of sixth inning Turner replaced Er kine as pitcher in first of seventh inning U Errors: Elks—MacSpadden, For- sythe; Douglas—Andrews.

ALASKA COUPLE T0 BE MARRIED - HERE AUGUST 15 Ted Cowlin-gT) Wed Miss| Charlotte Manning of Anchorage ‘Wedding bells will ring in Juneau on August 15 for Charlotte Man-| ning of Anchorage, and Ted Cowl- ing, portrait photographer of Ju-| neau. The couple “confessed” the wed- ding plans this afternoon as Miss Manning boarded the steamer Al- aska for Anchorage to visit her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Manning, of that city, before returning to be married here in the Episcopal Church. Miss Manning was graduated from Anchorage High School in 1937. Fol- lowing a winter ‘in California, she has been visiting here for the past several days with Cowling’s par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Cowling. Ted Cowling was graduated from Juneau High School in 1932. He recently opened Juneau's first por- trait photography studio in the old First National Bank building. ‘The couple met in Anchorage two years ago.

The National Leaguers have com- pleted many good deals in the past few days and appear to have fin- ished their job but the American, Leaguers have only talked. A deal that sent Alex Kampouris from Cincinnati to do second bas- ing for the Giants, seems to have put the champions right in shape to make their big pennant bid in the home stand against the west starting today.
