Fritz Schmitz scored Haglund from second with o single, but was himself put away on McNamee’s fielder’s choice. Snow went out to bring up Orme for his day’s work. With three runs, which were prove enough to win the ball game, under their belts, the Moose settled down to stopping the Islanders; handing hurler Clancy Ccnverse come of the finest support of the season, following the last half of the first, when two errors opened the way to the two Island scores.

A wild pitch sent Manning {0 third from where he crossed the plate when Werner failed to stop Grummett's throw to third. Two walks and another wild heave off Converse followed to make the picture again look dark for the Moose, but a whiff and a fly got them out of trouble. A single was all the Douglas threat in the second, but in the {hird, Erskine doubled to finally die on third. Then, the fourth very nearly spelled large disaster for the Black Sox. Turner singled to start the Islanders on the way. Boyd walked and everybody moved ahead when Fritz Schmitz bobbled a double-play set up on Niemi’s drive to short. With all bases loaded, Grant tried to touch off the old squeeze play | with a bunt; but, Converse snared it, fired the pellet home where Grummett spiked the plate and heaved to first to nip Grant. Boyd meanwhile carried on around third and Snow flashed the ball back to Grummett, who got Boyd for three almost simultaneous outs. One, two, three—one, two, three went down the Islanders in the fifth and sixth; then came their last op- portunity to stave off the Moose grasp at the flag. With almost complete darkness set in, the Islanders came to bat in the last of the seventh. Boyd land- ed a single for a starter when his fly was lost in the night and fel safe in center field.

Jensen downed Snow with a beau- tiful diving snare on a foul as the fourth opened. Orme, however, drew a walk and Werner singled him to second. Both runners moved up a notch on a passed ball. Grummett hit into a fielder’s choice that re- tired Orme at the plate, but Con- verse cracked out a double that counted Werner and Grummett.
