 Vets Hit Heavily
 Erskine not only pitched a great game, he starred at the bat with home run and two singles in five times up, scoring three runs himself and driving in two more. The Vet sluggers hit 'em hard and far Sunday. Stan Grummett, third baseman, blasted out a home run, three-bagger and single in five tries.
 Mathison, centerfielder, poled out a homer. Tom Haines smacked a three-bagger in the first frame with the bases loaded and anyone but cripple would have made the circuit on the drive Sam Baker tripled, also. Blake was the only Vet failing to hit safely, and twice pretty bits of fielding robbed him of seemingly safe blows.
 Of the eight hits made by the Elks, only two were for extra bases, Junge and Andrews getting two-baggers.
