MOOSE SWAMP
 ELkS SUNDAY
Earn Right to Play Bills in Little World Series
 by l6 to 2 Win

Scoring 16 runs, 13 of which came in three successive innings, the Moose ball players swamped the Elks 16 to 2 in nine-inning game yesterday afternoon and won the championship of the sec ond half and the right to play the Bills for the 1928 pennant.
 Although Pete Schmitz was nick ed for ten hits, he pitched good ball, especially in the pinches, and struck out 12 men. In the first he did well, for he famed three with the bases full.
 Three beavers were used by the Elks, but Koski was the only one who could hold the Paps in check, and he allowed only one hit in the last three innings. The Elk chuck CTS had poor support and ten bon CTS were marked against the team
 Little heavy hitting was done. there being two doubles, a triple and a freak homer. The latter came when Gist slammed the ap- pie into rightfield' and it bounced over the fence for the circuit.
 Moose Score First
 The Moose made three in the first, when the Elks players had their worst inning. Two hits, with four errors, were good for three runs. The Elks came back in the second and scored twice when four successive batters hit safely, after two men had been retired.
 Nothing happened after that un- til the fourth canto, / when The Moose batted around, hit five times and scored five runs with a little aid from the Bills. Again in the following frame they mark ed up four runs on four hits and one error. The same number Of runs came in the sixth on three hits and no errors. Those four big innings were far too much for the Bills, who were not hitting any too well due to MT. Schmitz worthy efforts.
