BY INNINGS 67 TL 02—2 — 1 SCORE : 12345 Moose 00000 Douglas 10000 Moose third-baseman Hub Stur- rock became a hero last night dur- ing a seventh-inning rally that stole the 1941 Gastineau Channel Serics from Douglas, when he took a two- run single from Jensen with two men on the bags and with two away in the last frame. Willey’s lone homer in the first inning was the only score to date when Sturrock stepped up with a fist-full of bat and a mind full of determination, then he swung and the score swung too, to give the Lodgemen a win by the skin of their teeth. Both Jensen and Guy pitched close ball, with Guy giving only two hits to Jensen’s six, and striking out five men each. The match was nip and tuck until the Lodgemen took the game, with Waliley’s one-run ~~omomooonm lowwevwwnes w|l weocooccoom™ 9 S o Y Totals DOUGLAS Player Ellenberg, cf. Taguchi, 3b. Willey, c.

Summary Stolen bases:, Schmitz, Snow, homer standing out as the only score for six innings. Two men were away when the Douglas catcher leaned on one of Guy’s grooved balls and-the ball went sailing out over the center field fence. Rustad flied out to right field to make the third out. Jensen Saves Self In the second canto Jensen loaded the bases with two hits and one walk | then started to pitch to Skok. Snow | was on third, Junge on second and ! Grummett bad just singled. Skok ! popped up a high one right to Jen- | sen. The Island hurler made a fast throw to Taguchi on third to catch ! Junge coming in and Snow trying to | return after the catch. Clancy Converse did all right for the Moosemen in the fourth when he piled up two of his three bobbles for the game when he volley-balled Taguchi’s {ly and then made a wild throw to first, allowing the Douglas third-baseman to take second. Like an innocent, pink-eyed rab- bit in the woods for the first time, old-timer Stan Grummett allowed himself to be sucked into a noose in the fifth when he walked away from second base while the ball was lying, | plain to the fans, next to the second | platter. Rustad trotted over to the bag, picked up the ball, chased Grummett to third where Taguchi | caught the toss and put Grummett | out for three away. Punch and Judy by Greenhow | Umpire Tommy Greenhow went | into a wind-mill convulsion in the seventh over a disputed strike with | Stan Grummett, and amid a con- fusion of jeers, cat-calls, hisses, boos and an explosion of laughter, dress- «ed down the fans apd players over} his wages. The dust soon settled | after the display of dual temper and made things clear for Hub Sturrock. | Jensen was beginning to weaken in the first of the seventh, despite ! the fact that the half-frame could | have finished the fray, and gave| two hits, to Snow and Grummett. Two outs were chalked up and fans were starting to straighten their coats when Sturrock stepped in the | holes for his turn. Sturrock, not the best batter ‘in the league, but a batter who has the Indian sign on Jensen, calmly wait- ed for his first hit of the game. He got it. And when players stopped | going round, two runs had come in and the game was lost. Douglas’ turn when sides were reversed did the Islanders little good as Guy struck out two men and grounded Grummett; put-outs: Guy, Schmitz, Martin, Snow 8, Junge 2, Grummett, Skok 5, Sturrock, Converse, Ellen- | berg, Taguchi 2, Willey 5, Erskine 7, Jensen 4, Stewart 2; assists: Guy 2, | Schmitz 5, Sturrock, Converse, Rus- | swu 4, Jensen 4, Neilsen 3; home runs: Willey; earned runs: Moose 2, | Douglas 1; bases on balls: off Jensen , off Guy 2; struck out: by Jensen | 5, by Guy 5; passed balls: by Willey | 1; triple plays: Jensen-Taguchi; umpires: Greenhow behind the plate, Shepard on first and second | bases, Druxman on third base; scor- er, Hill; time of game: 1 hour, 20| minutes. i | | —_——— DODGERS OUT OF TOP PLACE AFTER LOSS (BY ASSOCIATED PRESS) | Veterans Mel Ott and Carl Hub- bel combined yesterday to knock | Brooklyn from the National League ! lead as the New York Giants swept | a doubleheader before 39,000 fans.
