International Trust rose 2 points to 19 bid. George r. Bakers First National Bank stock rose 150 points 10 ooI5 Dld.

MOOSE WIN IN
 SPEEDY TUSSLE FRIDAY, , TO 4
Elks Defense Cracks in lst Frame Making Pap
 Win Possible

Taking advantage of a bad first inning in the Elks' defense, the Moose showed over three runs, add
 ing one each in the third and fifth to win last nights ball game by a score of to 4. It was a thriller that made the fans forget the damp, cold weather.
 Erskine went the route for the Paps, while Manning, who was in effective and hit rather hard, gave way to Junge in the fourth. The latter allowed but one hit, and the run scored off him was gift made possible by an error.
 Boyd Keeps Up Hitting Boyd, Elks' backstop who is lead Ting the league in hitting, clouted the pill at terrific clip last night. In the four trips to the plate he drove out three hits, a homerun, a two bagger and single. His fourth effort was a high fly to left cen- ter which with less elevation could easily have cleared the park. He boosted his average to .514, and that's real hitting in any mans Nague.
 Erskine started in fine form, Nie- mi popping out to short and Roller flaming. Boyd smashed the sec-

ond ball pitched to him through centerfield into the tall and un- cut bushes for the circuit. Manning was safe when Big Macs peg was wide at first and pulled Little Mac eff the bag. But he rested there while Erskine bore down and fam ned Rodland, one of the most dan gerous hitters in the league.
 Elks' Miscues Fatal
 Errors by the Bills in the second half of the first were fatal In this frame, on three hits and two er- TOTS. the Paps showed across three runs, none of which were of the earned variety. Roller handled Bill Schmitz's hopper and threw him out at first for an suspicious beginning which didn't last. Slow fielding in left let Fred Schmitzs $ hit go for a double and Fritz ad- vanced to third when Ramsay sim gled to right. Little Mac rapped hot grounder at Junge who miss ed the ball entirely. He had a fine setup for double killing and let it slip away, F. Schmitz scoring and Ramsay went to third, Mac going to second on the throw-in Big Mac was thrown out at first by Roller and Ramsay raced over with run number two. Jack Schmitz flew to left center and Niemi, who made a long run to get under the ball, dropped it while Little Mac scored. Roller threw out Nello to end the inning.
 The Elks went hitless and score less in the second, although An drews was presented with first base when Umpire Kirk ruled he was entitled to it on balk.
 Fast Fielding Nips Rally
 Manning was nicked for a two- bagger and single in the second but fast and accurate fielding cut off runners at the plate, preventing any scoring. Murray opened with

Manning had a lapse and failed to cover first on Bill Schmitz's hopper, and Murray loped to third. Bill stole second. But Murray. who tried to score on the play was nipped at the plate by Junge's fine return.
 Fred Schmitz singled to center for his second hit of the day. Bill Schmitz tried to score but was cut down on a relay throw. Niemi to Junge whose peg to the plate was perfect.
 Erskine again turned back the Bills in the third stanza, although Boyd's second hit, a two-bagger, fell in this period. The Bills threw away possible score in this inning. Roller famed. Big Mac dropped the third strike and threw wild to first. Roller tried to stretch the gift to two bases and was caught at second. Had he played it safe Boyd's double might have sent him home.
 The Moose added another in the third mining. Little Mac opened with triple to right center and scored on wild pitch. Manning walked the next two batters but they failed to register.
 Junge Relieves Manning 1 After Erskine again blanked the Elks in the fourth, Junge went to the mound, Manning going to left and Rodland to second. Only three men faced him in that frame. Rol- Ter threw out Erskine at first, An drews gobbled Bill Schmitz's pop fly and Clarke made fine running catch of Fritz Schmitz's fly U right.
 The Elks were presented with an- other goose egg in the fifth. The Moose scored the fifth and last tally in their half. Ramsay was safe when Roller missed his turf cutter at short, but was forced out by Little Mac. The latter stole second and scored from there on Big Macs single to right.
 Elks Stage Rally

If the E.ks expect to stay out in front in the City League pennant chase, they have to win Sunday s game in which they will be faced by an American Legion team that is much stronger than any lineup the Vets have had in the field since the season opened. The Bills today were leading the pack by mere one-half game. with the fast-speeding Moose treading on their heels.
 If they win tomorrow they will be full game to the good, and have two more games to play. The Moose have the same number, and Sundays game will be the tenth for the Vets, who, by the way, have no where to go in particular in this half
 But they will take the field Sun day fit to meet either of the lead- CTS. Every regular except Ted Kea- ton will be on hand.
