ISLANDERS TRAMPLE ELKS, 19-9 Juneau Team Takes New Dive to Cellar in Flood 0f Costly Errors After a two-game rally, the Elks sunk deeper in the cellar last night when the Douglas Island tean handed them a beating of 19 to 9. Tired from playing three consecu tive games, the Elkmen gave a poor exhibition compared with their two previous games and took the rap from the Islanders after chalking up. nine errors. A grandstand of holiday fan: watched the folly as the Dougla team took 19 hits from Koski. In return, the Elks knocked 14 from the arm of Andrews, but becauc of too eager playing and attempt- ed stolen bases they failed to make the hits score. Douglas Lucky In every inning at bat the Janders got runs and trampled Elkmen before they got out of their holes. Up first, Douglas go! four runs and three hits. Roller a pitched ball, went to first 1shed to second by Andrews and then romped in op s ngle. In a spurt of luck and hitting, both Erskine and Jen- sen made singles into runs, ana Rustad chalked up the fourth run uf the inning when he got to first tn Greenhow's hobble. willey and Addleman gave their leam the chance to halve the scove when they made the tour, Willey setting to base on balls and Ad- dleman on a fielder’s choice. But for the next two frames, the EIks did exactly nothing in the run sec- tion, taking only one hit from An- drews. Islanders Keep Going The Islanders, seeing no reason to stop, kept scoring in every in- ning, Klovdahl in the second on a double and knocked in by Big An- dy's two-base hit; Odell in the third, thanks to Addleman’s poor throw to second, and Jensen and Andrews in the fourth. Big Andy got to base on Greenhow's fumble, advanced to second when Erskine clipped -2 single, and waited for Jensen to take first on a fielder’s choice, Erskine, had been put out at. second: when Willey, who had taken Uncle Arne Greenhow's place at short after his third error, fum- bled too, allowing Andrews and Jensen around the plates. And so it kept going. The Elks, however, in the next inning rallied around Empire Wil- ley's smashing double which bounced over the fence, making the 1s wonder where it had gone and suspecting a homer. When the po- tential home run was called a double and the dust had settled the score board chalked up runs for Nielsen, Koski and Knight. Bird had come in on his double and the Elkmen had made four runs. Fifth Big Inning Two errors in the fifth inning helped Douglas to mark down five more runs, Roller, Bell, Hanford, Odell and Klovdahl getting the honors. In the last frame, the Elks contributed nothing to the score and Roller, Douglas did a duplication of the sixth. The Elks had been slightly tram- pled.
