T0 BLOWS OF CELLAR ELKS League Leaders Stumble as Elkmen Roll Over and Get Win . with their side of the score doubled Douglas ks Startling and shocking baseball fans frem one end of the Channel to the other, the cellared Elkmen won their third game out of 13 play- ed in the '41 season as they trounced the league-leading Douglas squad yesterday in a nine-inning battle that saw the Isalnders drop the game by six errors. ‘What stopped the Douglas nine was not the errors but the ad- vantage the Elks took from them plus the 19 hits given by failing Douglas hurler Claude Erskine. Max Lewis held the Islanders down to ten scattered hits, with the Elkmen allowing just half that number of runs to come in. Steady Blasting The Elks scored in six of the nine innings and the fight was not even close as they kept hitting safe singles and doubles from Erskine, and making them good. Douglas scored first as Erskine bowled out a two-run homer in the first of the | first and with Stewart on. In the Elks turn, Kumasaka tore a double off the bat to come in on Junge’s Two more runs were added to the Elks side in the second canto as Stargier pulled the first of three errors and allowed Lewis and Ham Kumasaka to come in on a wild throw to first plate. willey and Rusty Rustad pulled in two markers for the Islanders in the third canto after the Douglas catcher poled out a one-base hit and Rusty was walked by Lewis. Sammy Taguchi lost three potential ! runs for the Elkmen: in their turn with the stick as 'he grounded out for three-away. with the bases load- | ed. It made no difference, however. | as the Elks scored two runs in‘both the fourth and fifth, and held | the Red Coats down to only one| more run for the remainder of the | game. | i At the end of the fifth, the Elks | had taken 14 hits from Erskine, and ' then the Douglas nine came up to | bat to take their last run in the fray. Alex Miller took first on Rab- | bit Ellenberg’s error and then came | in for the run as Rabbit made an- | other error and allowed Stewart to | make first. | From then. on the battle was | strictly Elks as the lodgemen tripped and ripped through the game to end over the Islanders’ tiny five runs.
