ELKS TO VICTORY OVER ISLANDERS | Errorless Ball Features Douglas Nine's First Home Defeat Errorless ficlding and super hurl- ing combined last evening to mark up for the Elks the first defeat ever handed the Douglas Islands in league play on_their own lot, and to present Gastineau Channel ball fans with the fastest tightest duel of the year. One disputed run sneaker across by the Elks in the last half of the second inning proved enough mar- gin to enable the Purples to fight through to their win. Their decisive tally followed the first hits of the pame, two singles with which For- ythe and Abramson opened the second inning. Forsythe was trap- ped after reaching third, but Abram- son worked his way to second dur- ing the play on Forsythe, moved to third on a field’s choice, and came in with the run that really counted while Eddie Lawson, who had reached base on a fielder’s cheice, was being run down on the way to second for the third out. Umpire's Ruling Umpire Shaw ruled that Abram son had scored before the tag was put on Lawson, but Douglas backed by Mar r Walt Andrews in his claim that Lawson had run oul of the base line for an automalic oul, to keep from being tagged which should have retired the side before the run was in. The Elks managed to get three more singles off Douglas hurler Jensen before the route was fin- ished. but cculd not turn them into scores; Addleman being nipped try- ing to steal after his hit in the fourth and Ellensberg dying on third and on first after their use- less hits in the sixth and seventh frames, respectively. Despite the run and the five hits he allowed, Jensen's mound work was one of the best performances of the season. In four of the seven innings, only three batters opposed him and in one of those frames, the third, he set back the three opposing hitters on strikeouts. Not one man did he walk during the entire game. Forsythe Spectacular | But, fine though Jensen's hurling | performance was, it was thrown in shadow by the spectacular way in which Forsythe, doing the slab work |for the Elks, scored his shutout over the Islanders. For the first four times the Douglas nine was at bat, Forsythe turned the Islanders back to the bench, one-two-three, with nary a hitter reaching base WHAT IT TAKES, six-foot Bob Klinger's got, pitching the curve that's helped put Pittsburgh Pirates wel National League race Klinger, 29, of Allenton, | up in front in Mo., had eight years in the minors before joining Pirates. home and tied-up ball game. plate a Close Decision Addleman, however, reached the ball in time to flip it to Abramson, who had gone in to cover the plate, and Palmer was called out on a very close decision. With that play, the game was lost to the Islands. Andrews whiffed on the next piteh to end the game. Abramson, besides coming the the Elks, played the biggest part in getting it for them in the first place. His two singles in three trips were the big batting mark of the day, and it was he that scored the only run, SCORE BY INNINGS 1254567-R H 1 0 5 3 Team Elks Douglas 0100000 0000000 BOX SCORE R H R !

Melick, Vice- | president said the dealers through- lout the country had used more |than 25,000 Seagram window dis- plays, distributed more than 2,500.- | 000 souvenir key chains, and pasted | 20,000 sets of drink stickers of 10| . pieces each on their back bar| mirro hree piece sets of festoons distributed numbered 24000, and there were 20,000 laminated back: bar signs used. A novel feature of the window | displays was a removable portrait of Joseph E. Seagram. It is esti- mated that the majority of the 25,000 distributed are in permanent use as store and bar decorations. Nation-wide newspapers and class magazines were used for 80th An- niversary advertisements. “A survey of results of that |intensive campaign,” Mr. Molick said, “definitely shows that there has been a very substantial in-| crease in sales.” ———t——— STREET WASHING NOTICE Motorists are warned not to park their cars on paved streets after 2| a.m., Saturday, on account of street! washing operations.

They are piecing together the | fossilized bones of a titanosaur dis- covered last summer in Utah by Dr. Charles W. Gilmore, curator of vertebrate paleontology. This little fellow was more than one-half block long (170 feet), he probably weighed between 15 and 20 tons, and stood 15 feet above ihe ground. He ate only plants. .- — NO SUNDAY SERVICE AT CATHEDRALTOMORROW There will be no services at Holy Trinity Cathedral tomorrow as Dean C. E.

Not hits, but two walks, put Forsythe into a slight bit of trouble on the Islanders’ last time at bat and led to his turning the /mound over to Abramson to score the final out. With one away, in the last of the seventh, and the Islanders need- ing at least one run that inning to stay in the ball game, Manager Andrews sent Harry Palmer in to pinch hit for Rodgers. Palmer came through with a walk, which Jensen duplicated a moment later to fill the first two stations. Manager Andrews then took it upon himself to bat his Island team into the front and went to the plate in place of Bob Bonner. For- sythe, however, after looking the situation over, signalled to Harold Abramson to come in from center field and match his left flapper agaist the left-side hitting of An- drews. The EIk strategy locked to be going wary for a while, as Abramson, not warmed up, was al bit wild and forced a passed ball that let Palmer go to third. Then, a bit later, with two strikes and two balls on Andrews at the plate, another sligthly wide pitch went through Addleman for another pass-, OFF MARMION ISLAND Rountrip on Wanderer—$1.00 LEAVE AT 7:30 A.
