SCORE B Elks Y 2 1 Moose 0 0 1 1 0 [J Low, black, threatening clouds over the Firemen’s Ball Park ast night as the hard-hitting Elks nine made the Moose look like rockies in a nine-inning battle that ended with the score standing 10 to 4 for the Elkmen. After a warm-up inning which started 30 minutés late while the Elks waited for their ninth man, the game got going when Orrin Addleman went to first on Joe Bird’s error then came in for the first run on Erv Hagerup's sacrifice. The Moose did absolutely nothing. In the third the Elks brought in five runs in a scoring spree that took the wind out of the sails of the optimistic Moosemen.

Hell Gate: is the Americanization of ‘the Dutch térm hellegat, mean- ing ‘narrow passageway, and the name in this instance is apt. Smack in the center of Hell Gate is a small island known as Mill ‘Rock. This island, or blob of land, is only several hundred yards in diameter yet it serves an important purpose in the life of the city and the har- bor. It is owned by the War De- partment and is used as a base for all surveying and blasting opera- tions in the harbor. There’s a tiny light-house at each end of the is- land. Helen Worden, who has looked carefully into the history of the scores of islands in the har- bor waterways, says, so far as any- one knows, no woman has ever set foot on Mill Rock. Angther island whose history is :mportant and goes way back be- yond colonial times is Governors Island, which has only 136 acres. In the old days it was known as Nut._Island because of its fine yleid of chestnuts and was the property of New York's (then New Amster- dam’s) first Governor, Wouter Van Twiller, After the Revolution a racing. course and a swank hotel were, constructed, and later it was acquired by the Army and several forts, erected there. Today the 2nd Corps.. Area has its headquarters there, the old Castle Williams is a military. prison, and Fort Columbus has been renamed Fort Jay. This tioned..

There used to be a penitentiary here | where the inmates operated on each other with rusty pocket knives and addicts obtained their narcotics daily from confederates in Manhat- ten via carrier pigeon. When coa-| ditions there were exposed five or!| six years ago the penitentiary was removed and in its place came the new Cancer and Neurological Hos- pital, the City Hospital and School of Nursing. Welfare Island is beau- tiful now—a far cry from its squa- lor and dinginess of other days. North Brother Island is an isola- tion ward for people with com- municable diseases. . . . Huckle- berry Island, Chimney Sweeps, Big Tom, Pea, and Rat Island are mere blobs of land, mostly unin- habited save by gulls. . ., .
