Be Sure Your Chances Are Equal in the JUNE "ROTARY-EMPIR SOAP BOX DERBY in Bag with Two Games fo Go SCORE SUNDAY Douglas 7; Elks 1 Score by Innings Elks | Douglas It appeared last night that the Douglas Red Coats have the first + half of the league schedule in a lead pipe cinch, after ignonimously whip- ping the handicapped Elks in a nine inning contest that saw Claude Erskine almost at his pitching best as he fanned 14 men and lead the Islanders to a 7 to 1 victory over the Elkmen. Two more games the Douglas nine has to play in this half and both are scheduled against the lowly, cel- lared Elks. The Elks ran out onto the field a half-hour after slated starting 'time, after waiting in vain for the remainder of the squad to show. Then as a rainbow hung over Mount | Roberts in the rain-cleared air, the Elkmen went up to bat to take the |first run of the evening in a game that was alternately a fast game of |screwball and close, wiley ball | handling. | Dizzy Start | ‘ The first frame started right in | Iwith the unusual and the unac-} :counl.nble as little Sammy Teguchi |leaned one on his last strike to |send it out to center field for a | |double. Nielsen grounded out and | Lewis came up, knocked a high fly | finto right field. Andy Andrews step- | ped in under it, caught it, droppcdj |it and allowed Taguchi to come in | after the bobble. But Lewis, limping | llrom a foot injury, was put out oni ‘flrst for three way after Taguchi {made the run and Andrews recov- | | ered. ! | The Islanders immediately retal- | |lated when they switched field to |c¢halk up three runs in the remainder lof the frame. Manning singled-in | | Willey who had taken base on balls, | and then Rusty Rustad clipped into | the longest home run of the season as he clipped one out over the left | J|center fence and brought in Man- ning. | Pitchers’ Duel Then came & hurlers’ battle as Erskine and Koski bore down on | the bat and the two outfields held | the score at a standstill until Lhe: sixth.” Then Rustad pulled in his | second run of the game as he walk- ed, got knocked in by Roller’s single, | only score of the inning. | Koski repeated the first canto in| the seventh when he walked Willey. | then gave a single to Erskine to| bring in the Douglas catcher, mere- ly the beginning of a three-run frame. Jinmy Manning took a single from Koski, and Eddy Nielsen chalk- | ed up an error for himself, trotted | in another run. Claude Erskine made the last score of the game after taking a one-base hit as he nonchalantly made home on a pass- ed ball by Reischl, only catcher in the league with a good arm for!‘ second base, but also tops in the passed balls- section. The score stood 7 to 1 at this stage iof the game andthen the boys calm- ed down for the rémainder, scoring no more. Box Score The following is the box score of Sunday’s game: H i 3 = Willey, c. ...

And although the: fishermen were out en masse, the fish were not and the total catch was less than you could shake a stick at. On an aver- age the catches were all small, not one reported over 17 pounds. Bob Schoettler managed to hook and land one of ,Awp 17-pounders re- | pofted’ from the day’s work. Schoett-| ler was on the Wanderer oft Mar- micn ' Tsland, wh there was a salmon derby sponscred by the Ju- neay Sports Fishing Club. Apparent- ly ‘Schoettler was high man in Hll“ contest. i More luck was experienced by the hardier of the hardy trout fisher- men as Doc Merritt and son, Den- ny, and Bill McLure whipped up to| Salmon Creck.
