Moose Win Ope ning Game - 0f'40 Season as Douglas Loses Ten-Inning Contest In an opening game that looked as though it might last longer than the ten innings it did, the Moose last evening broke a 1 to 1 tie that (had lasted four innings, trimming Douglas 3 to 1 when Erskine gave two hits to the Moose who turned them into runs. Eager fans hooted, cheered and cat-called at everyone in the Fire- men’s Ball Park when the first ball of the Gastineau Channel League for the 1940 season W thrown from the pitche box by Mayor Harry I. Lucas. Douglas catcher Johnny Odell carefully caught the famous *“-1,000" ball used by the Mayor and lent for the opening pitch by “Dolly” Gray who has had the ball autographed by at least two dozen big league players last year when he was East. Tenth Inning A crowded grandstand of tiring fans began to think that the over- time innings would extend until dark when the tenth inning saw Snow take a three-bagger from the Douglas pitcher, bringing in Schmitz | who had been walked two plays before. Johnson singled into left| | field and brought Snow in, wind- ing up the ball game. The Doug- las team attempted a rally in the second half of the tenth with Man- ning singling, but Johnson caught Erskine’s fly and the ball game was over. Schmitz Brings in First Run | Schmitz of the Moose brought in| the first run of the game when he knocked a double and Snow brought him in with a two-bagger. The score stayed 1 to 0 with tne Moose leading until the sixth when | Erskine bunted a single, bringing | |in Manning who had been walked the play before. The Moose pitcher chalked up an error for himself he made a poor throw to first base, allowing Erskine to| second base, bringing in Manning, and giving the Douglas team their first and only run of the game. Harrington’s Catch The screaming grandstand was brought to its feet early in the eventh frame when Bill Harring- ton, new left fielder for Douglas, #as sent flat on his back catching a hard outfield fly knocked sky-| ward by Kimball, Harrington le: high into the air, made a snatch| at the ball, and fell in a flurry of dust, only a minute later to hold high his hand -exhibiting -the | caught fly and showing that Kim ball was out. Claude Erskine surprised the| crowd when he deliberately walked Joe Snow, preventing a possible hit when Schmitz was waiting on the second base for a chance to turn a hit into a run. Hushed for a few minutes, | otherwise boisterous crowd leaned | forward on the edge of their seats in the eighth inning. The bases | were loaded and the Moose had two away when Joe Guy went to bat. But a possible breaking of the | tied score was thrown away us calm Claude Erskine struck out Guy and the inning was at an end. | the First on 3rd Strike Thinking quickly, Norm Rustad practically stole first base when catcher Kelly Blake dropped the ball on Rusty's third strike. By the time Kelly had ripped off his mask so that he could see the| fumbled ball, Rustad was practical- | ly at the first bag, and a quick | throw by the catcher proved fu- tile. 4 3 Totals 38 Substituted for Sharek Conve L Blake, & B 3 19 in fifth. 0 0 8 Sloo DOUGLAS Harrington, 1f Jensen®, 1f Manning, 3b Erskine, p Rustad, ss Andrews, 1b Odell, ¢ Stewart, rf Roller, 2b Niemi, cf Bell*, ¢ R PO | rcewesvannad wloococcsommoom ~|lccoccococeomoo SlocorroRrormown | covcoocwnwoo® Totals “Batted for +Substituted eighth. 37 Niemi for S in tenth, Harrington SUMMARY on balls: Manning Stewart 1, Schmitz 1, Snow Blake 1; two-base hits: Schmitz Snow 2, three-base hits: Snow struck out: Harrington 1, Jensen 1, Manning 2, Erskine 1, Odell 2, Roller 2, Niemi 2, Lawson 1, Schmitz 1, Martin 2, Johnson 3, Guy 2, Kimball 1, Converse Blake 1; left on bases: Manning 1, Erskine 2, Andrews 1, Stewart 1, son 2, Blake 1; las 3, Moose 7; Bases Rustad 1, Stewart | 1, Odell 1 Snow 1, Sharek 3, Blake | 2.

The $280 which was realized from this phenomenal attendance, the largest crowd the Moose Hall has ever entertained for an occasion of this kind, will be used to purchase new uniforms and general equip- ment for the Seims-Drake nine. The record turnout is an example of the public’s rapidly-mounting in- terest in the newly-organized Sitka City League, consisting of three 0|teams ,which will play a series of 0!three ball games a week throughout 0!May and June.
