L. Shavey Koski's diction that the Elks would whip *the Moose in the colorful opening game of the 1941 Gastineau Chan- ‘nel League season turned into fact yesterday afternoon after three hours of a see-saw battle that end- ed with the Elks holding a one-run lead by the skin of their teeth ,after pitching three men in the box. With the crimson-coated Juneau nigh school band drilling on the field, a packed grandstand of 500 fans watched the formal opening of the ‘41 series which included the raising of the flag while the band played the National Anthem and two teams stood at attention e the high school musicians. Azing-Governor E. L, (Bob) Bart- lett pitched the first ball to Mayor {arry 1. Lucas. The game started out slowly with the boys taking it easy and getting the feel of the field, Then as the men warmed up, so did the game, with two newcomers to Juneau ball fans showing the stuff that it takes tc make ball games. Lee Kern of the Moose knocked the first homer of the season as he clipped one cver the right field fence, and Johnny Slagle did some mighty nice work at shert. Guy Gets First Hit Joe Guy of the Mcose ook the first hit of the season as he got a "sinzle from Koski on the second pitch and then turned it into the * first run of the series to be followed by Johnny Slagle making the second and ending the inning 2 to 0 for the Moose. The Elks dragged out one single run in the second frame as Molly McSpadden made the tour after Or- rin Addleman gave him aid with a two bagger. Addleman was sent to the bench when he made a quick * reverse to get back to the second wmeDaniel, rf, If plate and missed. |Koski, p And then the Mcosemen piled up | Vorhies, p, rf the markers on the score board in| the remaining half of the inning usl they took their seventh hit cffi Moose Kcski in the two cantos and made four runs to make the score 6 to 1,Guy, 2b, p the Elks prediction Jookmg desper- Kern, If, p, 2b ate in the fulfiilifig, "It was in this gjagle, & frame that Kern knocked the sphere f Snow, 1b , over the fence for the first homer|Bird, cf of the season and then was Iol]owed.sLu"“k 3b by Slugger Joe Snow who clipped | Rodenberg, rf himself out a homer.

Molly McSpadden took another mighty swing at home plate yes-! terday and the bat flew right out of his hands. . Max Lewis is called the “Suspension Kid” because | ke apparently doesn't trust the cow- hide of a belt and insists on wear- ing suspenders over his uniform: yesterday he found that he had lent his baseball shoes to someone else and had to use ankle high work shoes with cleats on them. The bat boys feel pretty important for the privilege of taking care of the teams’ wooden stock, but then that's the way DiMaggio, Babe Ruth and | Shavey Koski got their start. At 6:30 o'clock Tuesday night the Moose will meet the Douglas nine on the Firemen’s field as the Doug- | Jas aggregation plays the first game of the series. The remainder of | the games in the schedule will be | played at 6:30 o'clock on week days and will be seven inning frays. Sunday games will start at 6 o'clock and go nine innings.

No more will Goodwin be ribbed about bringing “pajamas along on a fish- ing trip.” A party of about a dozen boarded the Wanderer yesterday morning for a trip off Marmipn Island. Two small salmon were caught, one by Dean Hamlin weighing 20 pounds and another by Kell Larsson weigh- ing 17 pounds, The kings have not started their run off the island yet, but many small halibut were caught.

The three-foot fish weighed over 15 pounds. A new sport to most fishermen is the one described by Bill Saunders of the Gastineau Hotel, who finally became desperate after fishing Auk Bay for two days without a strike. Using herring as bait ona light fly rod with light line, Saunders went deep to catch flounder and sole. The Gastineau clerk claims that it's real sport and that the flat fish put up quite a fight.
