Tonight's mix will be the first meeting of the two teams since the Elks bowed before the Islanders on the Douglas diamond, more than 2 week ago. With Douglas now riding high in first place in the league standings, it is up to the Elks to climb back into high gear after their long lay-off, if they hope to head off the Islanders in the first- half chase Most likely hurling nominations for the mix tonight, which is slated to get under way at 6:30 o'clock, weather permitting, are Bud Foster for the Elks and Claude Erskine for the Islanders. The game is set for Firemen's Park in Juneau. e — Robert Fulton's Clermont ran from New York to Albany, 154 miles, in 32 hours. | Try an Empire ad. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, JUNE 21, 1938.
