Snow flied out to An- drews on first base and left the way open for Johnson to clout a two- | bagger out to center field and bring in the three men on base. Not much later Johnson himself came in, mak- ing the score four to nothing and the Douglas nine was off to a bad start Kimball Fans Thi Douglas went dribbling along in the second, only Jensen getting a double from Kimball, who was pitch- inz a close ball game. Came the third frame and Douglas fanned out |against Kimball; Neimi, Odell and Manning doing the deed in the order named In the meantime the Moose had not been idle and had taken three hits from Jensen in the second and third The fourth and fifth showed Converse and Snow how to bring in the other two runs that kept Doug- las away ba there and made it unnecessary for the last half of the seventh canto to be played. “Dusty Joe” Odell was about this time that taci- Johnny Odell, during a fast play hovering between home and third reached into the dust and managed to fill his eyes with dirt Time was called and Odell had his tear-filled eyes scraped out. But it 1t trn . was only a cursory operation and the chubby catcher went back to his crouch with still a handful of dirt in each eve A blinding sun that persistently crept under Kimball's hat as he stood on the mound almost gave Douglas a chance to get back their lost innings in the second frame when Andrews got a base on balls and Jensen took a double off of Kimball. Two men were on bases and there was none away, when Roller stepped up to bat. He struck out. Bell nervously stepped up to the plate and scowled as he was thrown out, Lawson to Snow. Two away. Harrington stepped up and promptly flied out to Guy who was only too anxious to step under Harrington's high fly.
