A s Ao OAH5i
 Another breath taker took place for the crowd of fans jamming the baseball park last night as the Moose put Douglas on the spot with a two to one eight-inning D.latch of the second game of the Juneau Little World Series for 1886.
 Tal Picinini, Pap hurler, had a clear edge over Claude Erskine Douglas mound ace. throughout the game but, nevertheless. things looked mighty dark for Picinini and the Moose after the third frame when Jensen's homer gave Douglas a lead of one mighty big run. The Paps trailed through two goose egg innings going down without a nj ble off ErSkine's chucking until the sixth when Forsythe and Rogers singled and a Douglas error let Forsythe in with the tying run.
 Double Killing
 A Scoreless seventh frame mark ed by a beautiful double killing by the Black Sox second base com bination, and the game went into extra innings with the score one to one. Then in the first of the eighth, the Moose blew the lid off Forsythe lead off with a drive right back at Erskine. Erskine hall blocked it but Forsythe was aboard the first station before the ball was recovered. Rogers whiffed, but Picinini, after having two swell drives in previous innings nabbed by outfielders, duplicated Forsythe"s performance with an even harder back at Erskine. Erskine tipped that one too, but it went into left field and Picinini and Forsythe were safe on first and second.
 Schmitz's Drive
 Jack Schmitz came up with a mighty drive to centerfield, but somehow or other some one was there and he half climbed on the bumper of a car to make the catch, The runners who had thought it a sure hit scampered back to their bags. Two men down.
 Capt. Stan Grummett then took the helm, waved his hickory at two pitches, let an outside one go by and then planted the next one in left field Ga beautiful Texas leaguer) to drive in Forsythe with what was to be the margin of vic- tory. Werner rolled to Erskine for the third out.
 Up to Picinini
 Then it was up to Picinini. And he really took the matter in hand Jensen rolled to Werner for one down. Erskine famed. Two down Andrews hit high fly to right center that Rogers gathered in with nice catch. Three down. Another ball game to the Moose. Picinini had won three out of four starts against Erskine, and the Islanders must win tonights game or the Moose are 1886 champs.
 FOhsythe in Limelight
 A big night for Earl Forsythe as well as Picinini Not only did Forsythe get three singles in four trips to the plate to lead the hit ters for the evening and score both the Moose runs, but ht handled seven fielding chances three of them tough ones-without a pebble, to lead the fielders, Pic mini, except for Jensen,s circuit clout, was never in any trouble; allowing only three hits and fan ming twelve batters. However, he did give out three walks and hit Williams with a pitch. Next high hitter for the Paps was Grummett who got two singles out of four and drove in the winning run Jensen's four -baser was the biggest performance by Douglas batter Bobby Bonner did mighty nice job of picking them out of the dirt around second and Johnny Niemi did some outstanding garden ing in centerfield. Erskine was but two-hittable for five frames.
 Good Baseball
 If the big World Series turns ir any better ball games than Juneau is seeing in it's Little World Series 1886 will go down in history as a banner baseball year. This even- ing Douglas gets. its last chance to stay in the championship run- ning-but a team that is playing the kind of baseball that ths Islanders have been turning in car .--.-st~o fso..rod mt If sfca hoYc
