Seven Rocket tallies were hung up in a second inning batfest, and two in the seventh, while the Truckers, with a combination of walks and errors in their favor sneaked over one or two runs in all but one inning. ‘The Trucker's loss dumped them out of first place and let the All- Stars in.

That is a new regulation an- nounced by rangers worrying over an increase of 125 per cent in the number of bear-bitten tourists this year. Under the new rules if a bear bites or strikes at a visitor he is placed on probation and rangers keep a close watch over him. If he is found guilty a second time he is hauled to another part of the park. The rangers slosh a da vs. Rockets, 6 p.m., All-Stars vs. A. J.

Reaching first, with one out, Gray was helped on to second when Bob Bonner muffed Man- ning throw on a likely-looking double-play setup. Another twin- killing was in the making on the next play, when Forsythe hit to short. Roller flipped the sphere to Bonner to nip Addleman, but Bon- ners’ throw to first was lost in the sun for an error on Andrews and for Forsythe; Gray, mean- advancing to third on the hit and scoring on the error. that cpening run the Elks in check by After were held completely Turner, only futile singles in the second and fourth frames being counted against him, until the first of the seventh and final inning. Then Forsythe led off with a solid double to right-center, which he siretched into a three-bagger. Mac- Spadden fanned behind him, but Hagerup dribbled a swinging bunt to Manning to count Forsythe. Following their two costly mis- lcues in the first inning, the Island- ers made no more defensive bulls the rest of the route, but bonehead base-running spoiled two of the times they managed to get men on base. Jimmy Manning got the first of the Islanders’ half-dozen hits; hi fly to right field catching Barnes asleep for a first inning single. Erskine bunted Manning on to sec- ond, but there he died. Mark Jensen, who led the day's hitters with two out of three, got the first of his singles in the sec- ond chapter; but, he then fell vic- tim of the gray-bearded ‘“hidden ball” gag and was tagged out at first by Molly MacSpadden. Niemi singled and Roller doubled to open the third session for the Islanders, but Koski settled to his work and let the runners go no further than their perches on sec- ond and third. The same treat ment was accorded Andrews’ two- base blow in the fourth. With the assistance of more be- |nighted base trodding by Johnny Niemi, Erv Hagerup came up with a double-play to shut the Islanders out in the fifth. On first, with one away, Niemi started sprinting around the paths under Roller's high fly to right and was far away from safety at the first cushion when the pellet came down in Hagerup’s glove. Strikeouts accounted for two of the three Douglas men to face Koski in the last of the seventh, and the finale saw Jensen perish on first, after a single with two away, when Bonner fanned to end the game.
