KERN TURNS TABLES WITH HARDHOMER Third Tie Bro_ken in Last of | Ninth as Home Run Beats Elks SCORE LAST NIGHT | Moose 8; Elks 7 Breaking the third tie of the game in the last of the ninth, the Moose luckily leaned on one last night to come out with a last minute victory over the Elks as Mooseman Kera smashed out a homer for the win-| ning run, ending the see-saw battle 8to". Each nine garnered 13 hits from the opposing hurler as a nine inning | battle went from sunshine to ramn to sunshine in two and one-half | hours that saw the fans betting and | then hedging in midstream. "T'was through luck and th2 slow weakening of Elk Pitcher Kuhuski | that the Moose polished off the first | game in the second half of the| series, but the Elks held the lead | and then tied the | strikes for four inning: score three times before the fatal drive of Kern's in the ninth. Lightnin’ Kumasaka took the first run of the fray early in the first frame as he took advantage of iwo Moose errors, but it was only first blood and the third was the screwy inning that saw the Elks pile up a four-run lead, while the Moose play- ed a game that was just abput as useless as a mustache cup. Home Run Sacrifice It all started as Rabbit Ellen- berg popped out what was to have | been a sacrifice bunt with two men on bases, and then brought in the whole field including himself as the Moosemen bobbled the ball. Taguchi and Kumasaka had taken singles from Guy, and Iverson step- ped up for a double. Taguchi came in for the first run. Ellenberg stepped up to pop a wobbly out into the infield and then sped for first. Pitcher Guy picked up the bunt and then made a wild throw to home as Kumasaka came in. Meanwhile Ellenberg had made his sacrifice good and was attempt- ing to make second. Grummett made mighty heave to the second platter but there was no one there or even around and abouts and the heave was about as useful as a pound of liver at a vegetarians’ con- vention. While the ball rolled hap- | pily out into center field, both Iver- son and Ellenberg brought in the third and fourth runs of the frame. Converse Helps Moose Mooseman Converse took the Mooses’ first run in the third as he took a single from Kuhuski and then came in for the score as Guy took a one-base hit. In the fourth, Joe Snow added to the score as he smashed out a homer after two No one on bases. Hallie GREATEST AMATEUR RACING EVEAT [N THE WORLD.

' Then as rain began to drearily drizzle down on the players, the score became tied three times be- fore Kern clipped out the winning stroke of the game. The makers see-sawed back and forth until they stood at 7-all as both nines fought Ifor the lead” In the last of the eighth Sturrock singled and then |came in on Shaw's single to break | the last Elk lead and make the tie Tto 7. Game Saver Kern The Elks came up to go right down in the ninth as Guy pitched steaming ball, and the fans settled themselves for over-time innings. Guy came up for the Moose in the |second half to strike out and make room for Kern. And he did it. A clash of the bat and the ball, and the little white egg sailed out over the fence as the Moose threw their mitts into the infield and trotted into the dugouts for the finis.
