DOUGLAS FIGHT TO TIE IN
 TITLE BATTLE
Second Series Tilt Is } to } Stalemate When
 Halted, Darkness

A ball game is never ever unt the last man is out; though tn Moose don't quite think so. In thei opinion last nights ball game was wrapped up for them in the last ot the seventh, when Hurler Kimbal came up with a clout that apparent ly won his ball game for him; until Douglas gardeners persuaded Um- pire Novel; that the horsehide hao bounced over the left center field fence and that Kimball's timely blow was good for only two bases, rather than the four he had taken
 Just because that homer was not a homer, last nights Channel Loop contest was not put away for eithe team. but is right back in the serief lineup. When, after ten minutes Of hot and heavy debate, in which all the players of both teams as well as several hundred fans participat- ed, Bob Kimball was persuaded to 20 back to second, Joe Verne Moose third d-sacker. who had crosse the plate with the seemingly win ming run on the play, had to go bac, to third; leaving the score a thref to three standoff.
 And, three to three standoff tho score remained for all time, as Doug las ace finger, Claude Erskine se' back the next two batters and Wer ncr and Kimball perished at the posts.
 Final Frame Squabble
 The scene for the final frame squabble was set by Werner's error in that first of the seventh, after Kimball, with twn down, had filled first and second with free tickets Werner let Manning's feeble drive go through his legs and Bonner scored from second with the run that broke a long standing two tc two tie, to put the Islanders one up.
 Then it was up to the Moose to do something. Jack Schmitz did it by crashing out three-bagger to rightfield With one out. Werner came up and proceeded to single Schmitz home for the second time that evening. The score was again knotted. Then Kimban sent the pel- let plummetting to the fence and everyone but Douglas thought all was over, until the Umpire changed enough minds to get the ball back under way for the real fade-out
 Last nights fracas was a woody heart-in- mouth affair nearly all the way. Douglas was first to hang a mark on the scoreboard, when, after fancy fielding had held them down for the first couple of innings, the Islanders broke out with two tallies in the first of the third The out burst had its root in a stroll to first base given Niemi when Hawkins interfered with his bat Bonner dropped bunt to advance Niemi but Werner scooped it up and fired to second too late to head Mem off, Schmitz then made a heavf to first to try to catch Bonner, but Snow lost the ball in the sun anc both runners advanced a notch wher the sphere went by him.
 Bonner Scores
 Shortstop Schmitz cut Niemi of at the plate on the next play, but Manning followed with a Chinese hit down the first base line that Snow couldn't reach in time to dc anything with it, Bonner scoring Erskine hit a high fly to center, ano after the catch Manning was trapped between second and third Before the Moose could run him down, however, Roller crossed the plate
 In the last of the third, the Paps for the first time, showed signs oi getting to Mark Jensen, who hao started on the mound for the Is- flanders. Werner led with walk ano went to third on the first of Kim balls two doubles, from where he was put across by Fritz Schmitz's single. Island Manager Andrews then immediately pulled Jensen. Err skine replaced him and set back the next three men, without further damage.
 In the last of the fourth, tht Moose came to the front again, tt tie the score. With two away, Jacl Schmitz doubled, and, after foulins off a goodly number of Erskine. best pitches, Werner tapped the bal past the mound for a single tha scored Schmitz.
 Out of Deep Hole
 The Moose threatened not at al in the next two innings; but it tool n brisk double-slaying on the par
