JUNCE PITCHES AND BATS ELKS
 IN TO VICTORY
Manning Saves Game, How ever, with Fast Triple
 Play, Final Frame

Ken Junge's pitching and bat ting won the game for the Elks against the American Legion last night but a lightning triple play started by Jimmy Manning saved it for him in the seventh and last inning, the Elks coming a to 3 score. The triple was good break for the Bills and a tough one for the ex-soldiers. I The Elks were leading 5 to 3 when the seventh started. Ben Wilson, relief pitcher for the Vets, slammed out a homer back of left field that unsettled Junge. Ted Keaton worked him for pass and he hit Mathison, putting two on and none out.
 Manning Turns Bandit
 Then came the disaster that swamped the incipient Vet rally. Blake, Vet backstop, hit a low line drive almost directly across second base. Keaton and Mathison were off with the crack of the bat. Manning, on a dead run, speared the ball with his fingertips and hung tightly to it while he fell on second to double up Ted and shot the ball to Andrews for the third out, killing off Matty The play was so fast that it took many of the fans minute or two to grasp what had occurred.
 And it was pure highway rob- bery, Blake's smash was hard, the ball travelled fast and low and seemed Impossible to be fielded as it shot across the diamond. Matty's out at first was hairline close and many of the fans and players thought he had beaten the throw I back to the bag Umpire Claud Erskine, however, saw it different.

The Vets threw away a real chance in the fifth inning when they scored but two runs on three two-baggers, walk and a fielder's choice. That's what really cost them the game Worth opened the fifth with a ripping double over centerfield. He tried to stretch it to three bases and was out a mile at third. HaineS was walked { and went to third on Pete Schmitz' s two-bagger to right
 Ted Keaton grounded to third and Haines, heading for home was run down on the line by Cooper, with Ted and Pete safe. Mathison dropped two-bagger over center and they scored.
 Pitches Fine Ball
 Junge, although he worked half of Mondays game, started off in great shape last night. For four innings not semblance of a hit was made off him, and only 12 batters faced him in that time. He got great support all the way, J the Elks making IS assists and not a single error.
 Ken was the individual hitting hero, also. In four trips to the plate he got two singles and a homerun, the latter scoring two men ahead of him and actually won the contest.
