The long Moose right-hander start- ed the game on the mound, where he lasted three innings, but he stayed all the way in the batter's box, getting three hits in four times up, the last of his blows being good for a 9 to 6 win for the Moose as it sailed over the grand- stand with the bases loaded. Leading from the fourth inning | on, the Moose fell behind one run as the Elks staged a two-run spurt in the first half of the final frame to make the picture mighty dark for the second-half leaders. But, with the marbles down, the Moose unlimbered in their last time at bat. A single and a wild pitch put McNamee on second for an opener, then Werner drew a walk. Forsythe, Elks captain, moved to cross the Pap hitters by cending fire-baller Bud Foster to the mound in place of curve-ball heaver Lefty Abramson who had held forth through the first six frames. Forsythe’s strategy boom- erariged, however, when Grummett met a fast, one for a single to load the paths with the tying and win- ning runs. With a single needed to salt the game away, Kimball stepped into Foster’s first pitch for one of the longest clouts of the year and the four Moose waltzed around the paths to ring down the curtain. Three runs, all unearned, were counted against Kimball as he opened the game, Werner’s error at chortstop unlatching the gate for | the Elks. With lead-off hitter EIl- | lensberg safe on second after a steal, Foster walked and Ellensberg pilfered another bag, right after which Foster stole and Schmitz was asleep on the throw to second, El- lensberg going with the first run| | as the ball bounded into the out- field. Foster went to' third as Mac- Spadden grotinded out to Kimball and Forsythe drew a walk. Abram- son bunted to move Foster home and Forsythe to second, then Ad- dleman came up with a clean single that counted Forsythe; Addleman, however, was nipped going to sec- ond, making the third out. Two singles got the Elks nowhere in the second inning, and the Moose did no better with Haglund’s double in the last of the first and Kim- ball’s two-baser in the second. Fos- ter opened the third for the Elks with a single, but was out going to second. MacSpadden also singled, and he stole second, Moose sec- ond baseman Fritz Schmitz was in- | jured on the foot and left the game, Jimmy Orme coming in from right field to take over his bag. The next two Elks went down and MaecSpad- den died on second. The Moose attack began to show dividends in the last of the third; WITH US LONG then' 'VE NOT BEEN OUGH TO BE INKING OF IACATIONS/ il Haglund’s second straight double being followed by Snow's two-bag- ger and a triple by McNamee _to put two runs acr In the first of the fourth, the | Elks loaded first and second when !

Kimball singled and a free trip drawn by Blake filled the bags. Orme whiffed, but Daglund bunted Grummett home and Kimball and Blake up another neich and was himself safe when MacSpadden’s throw hit him in th~ ba Kimball scoring and ¥ ¢ moving to third on the error. The Elks tried a cut-off play as Haglund stole cond, but Addle- man dropped Law<on’s return throw to the plate and Blake counted Haglund went to third as Smith fenned but died there as Snow mded to short for the third out. Jimmy Orme knocked down a hard d e by Forsythe for a double play that stopped the Elks in the first of the fifth, and the Mcose themselves made no use of an error snd a walk that filled first and second in the last of that frame. Ir the first of the sixth, the Elks whit- tled another run off the Moose lead and cet the stage for their final frame rally. Abramson opened the sixth for the Elks with a double and went to third on a passed ball, from where he scored when Blake dropped the third strike on Hag- erup. With the first Elks hitter fanned in their last time up, the Purples began a heckling campaign agains) pitcher McNamee, calling him on his footwork. The campaign paid off as McNamee walked Ellensberg and Foster and advanced both run- ners on a wild pitch. Ellensberg came in on MacSpadden’s ground- er, and McNamee forgot himseif and threw home instead of first trying for the third out on For- sythe’s grounder. Blake tried to right the play by whipping the ball to first, but the heave was wild and Foster scored to put the Elkg in front. Abramson fanned. The determined Moose attack, however, soon turned the Elks’ glee into chagrin as it set the stage for Kimball's pay-off four-baser.
