ELKS WIN FROM VETS IN FIRST
 SERIES BATTLE
Koski Hurls Bills to 9 to Victory Over Legion
 in Sunday Game

The Elks snapped out of that lethargical state that they have been in for the last several games, and proved that they were no longer to be considered the goats of the City League. Under the leadership of their manager, Koski the Bills went out to the park yesterday and ran away with the first game of the Little World Se- ries from the Legion to tn etune of to l.
 For the first few innings the game was rather close, but in the twilight session the Elks steadily walked away from the Vets, while the latter were still unable to solve Koski's deliveries as the curtain fell. The Elk manager went for five innings on one hit, but weak ened in the late inning, although ne could count eleven strike outs when it was all over with. Junge, Legion pitcher, was bothered some what with a sore arm, but man. aged to get by on good fielding until the last three innings.
 The only run that the Vets made was gift in the seventh inning. Snow started off with a single and reached second when Lottsfeldt layed down a perfect bunt along the third base line that just wouldn't go foul In an at- tempt to steal third, Snow was called out, although the decision seemed doubtful to some of the fans. But that didn't stop Lowe from cracking single to left. While Jernberg let it get by him, Lottsfeldt turned on the horse power and scored the only run for the Warriors
 As for the Elks, they managed to scrape through the game with nine counters, although such things were few in the earlier innings. Their first attack came in the first inning and netted one run. Blake made line drive to left, stole second, went to third when Lottsfeldt made a bobble at second, and scored when Snow threw low, on MacSpadden's fielder's choice, to the plate.
 Two in the fifth for the Bills. Garn got to first when Snow failed to grab Loves throw. Ab- bic went to second on wild pitch, and from there he tailed when MacSpadden lifted a single to left. Mac took second on the throw in, and single by Buss Orme, and an error by Lowe on Jim Orme's grounder, sent him across the plate with the third Elk run.
 Came the seventh and Manager Koski doubled to left to bring in MacSpadden and Buss Orme. Frs kline had scored earlier on a double steal that he pulled off with Mac Spadden's assistance.
 Two more in the eighth. Russ Orme singled to center scored both Kelly Blake and MacSpadden :
 The final Elk run came in the ninth as Jernberg singled, went to third on Koski's second double, and scored on Livingston's high fly to right field.
 Fielding honors for the day un- questionably went to Willie Rod enberg in center field who amazed the fans with some beautiful catch es. Altogether Rodenberg made five catches, and three could be classified as difficult. The most outstanding snare came in the third when he robbed Garn of a double, by leaping with one hand to bring down a line drive. Frs kline also made good catch in the sixth when he went back of first to rob Hagerup of a single and the Legion of a run or two.
 Poor Jack Diringer! He, who has been hitting them high, wide, and handsome during the season just couldn't see them and struck out five times
