ELKS WIN TWO
 MONEY SE RES
 GAMES, FOURTH
Plaster Moose / to , Here and Win from Vets 9
 to 8 on Island

The Eiks proved they were the cias sof the money ball players Sat- urday by winning the first leg in the $250 prize money offered by the local Chamber of Commerce, and winning the Slo0 offered by Douglas. The Bills won from the Moose at City Park by a score Of to in the first gema, then crossed the channel and defeated the American Legion g to 8 in
 a tough uphill struggle. Rain Sunday prevented the Elks and Legion from playing the deciding game of the local series.
 Jimmy Manning was credited with wining both games. He hur- led nine innings here to set the Paps down and relieved Wilson at Douglas to pitch the last three frames. The Douglas game was dedicated to Jack Kearney, former Douglas player, who, owing to a recent injury, missed the game at Douglas for the first time in years.
 EIks Get Breaks
 The Bills got all the breaks in the game here Saturday. Not a single one of their seven runs was classified by scorer Mize as earned. The airtight support the Moose usually give their pitchers was not forthcoming Infield and outfield cracked at critical spots and the Bills were smart enough to cap italize the breaks that came their way.
 Manning was unhittable until the third when the Paps registered two bingles but failed to score Their first run crossed the rubber in the sixth when Little Mac lcfted one down left field foul line that rolled into the auto line and ha raced over just ahead of the ball.
 Homers by Nello and Jack Sch mitz in the eigth gave them two more, and triples by Erskine, Fred and Bill Schmitz gave them two more in the ninth frame Manning whiffed Pete Schmitz in the last frame when he was inserted as a pinchhitter for Nello.
 Elks Score First
 The Bills scored first, chasing four runners over the plate in the second frame. With one away An drews and Junge singled, Rodland was safe on a fielder,s, choice, Nello dropped Bonner's fly to center, Mo Grath singled and the ball got away from Nello in center, Niemi singled, and the net result was scores by Andy, Rodland, Bonner and McGrath.
 The Elks added another in the fourth when Bonner was safe when Henning overthrow first and scored when Niemi's hit over left center rolled across the walk and through | a fence. They sewed up the game | in the fifth on MacSpadden's drop of Henning's grounder to second and Rodland's corking' single to right. Boyd and Andrews were the scoring runners.
 McGrath, in left field for the | Elks, made the most sensational | play of the game when he made a running, enchanted stab at Big Macs line drive in the fourth frame It robbed Mac of at least | a two-bagger and possibly home run.
 Come From Behind
 In the second game, the Bills came from behind in the seventh and last inning at Douglas to win after trailing the whole distance. Wilson, who started for the Bills, was no puzzle and the Vets found him for eight solid smacks and five runs in the first four innings. Man ming, who had just pitched nine innings here, took his place in the fifth and held the Vets to four hits and three runs His mate pounded out the victory in the last stanza.
 The Vets scored twice in the first frame in the island game. Liv- ingston singled. Blake was safe on Bonner's error and both scored on Ted Keaton's two-bagger.
 They added another in the sec ond on a single by Ellis, an error by Junge and Livingston's second safety. They added two in the fourth on a single by Brunes, a two-bagger by Livingston and Blake's single. In the sixth the ex-soldiers chalked up three more, Brunes homered to open the ses- sion. Junge juggled Livingston's grounder and T. Keaton. Worth
