" ERSKINETIES SERIES WITH ONLY 3 HITS l | | i One Game Left fo De(ide; Channel Champs After | Near Shut-out SCORE LAST NIGHT Douglas 3; Moose 1 SCORE B Douglas Mosse Claude Erskine’s three-hit hurling killed the Mooses' ambitions of cap- | turing an early win of the Channel Series last night as the Douglas | pitcher hit, hurled and ran his team to a victory, tying the series three- | all, with only one game left in the | fouf-out-of-seven group to decide | the champs of the 1941 Gnrlmeau‘ Channel League. On the mound, John Smith gave the Islanders only six hits and walk- ed only four men, but the Douglas nine watched their fielding clozely while Claude Erskine burned them in past the plate. Jensen's sacrifice bunt in the fourth frame was some of the finest ball playing scen on the Firemen’s Park this year, being top- | ped only by Jimmy Manning’s spec- | tacular work at first base. i Near Shut-Out Only one run rolled in for the | Lodgemen and that in the second | canto after Jimmy Manning bobbled at first to allow Snow to touch the‘ bag. The Moose first baseman stole two bases and was knocked in when | Clancy Converse connected for a | safe single, The Island team bucked | down after that mistake, and from | then on no more than four men ever got to bat. The Red Coats started the fray right in the first inning when Ellen- berg walked, was cut down stealing third, Sammy Taguchi singled, Wil- ley walked and Rusty Rustad drop- | ped in for the clean-up with a single | | i that brought in Taguchi. Two hits in that frame and then none 'til the fourth when three safeties were chalked down and two runs came bounding in. ! Jensen Sacrifices Rustad took his second hit from Smith when he connected with a | solid double and then Erskine took | advantage of the Moose hurler’s temporary lapse to drive in Rusty with a three-base hit. With Erskine leading far off third and almost ready to be caught in & hot box, ' Smith wound up. Erskine bent over and started to drive toward home, depending on Jensen’s action. The crowd screamed, Erskine gathered momentum, and traveling almost as fast as the ball coming toward Moose catcher Skok’s waiting mitt, slid into the bag just as Jensen stepped in front of the ball, popped out a tiny, | Exskine, p. +Manning, 1b. _THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE/ TUESDAY, AUG. 12, 1941.
