ERSKINE TAMES
 MOOSE HITTERS
 FOR ISLAND WIN
Douglas Team Clouts II Hits Of Converse
 and Kimball

Riding on Claude Erskine's fire ball, the Douglas Islanders climbed up alongside the Moose on the l.ague's top perch last evening at Firemen's Park; the Island hickory wielders blasting out eleven hits for five runs, in fast game, while Hurler Erskine had his way with the Paps, limiting the Black Sox bludgeoners to lonely marker.
 So well was Erskine pouring them in last evening that only nine bat ters had turns against him in the first three innings and he seemed well on his way to a no-hitter. Tom Martin spoiled that dream of glory however, by flashing out double in the fourth inning. Martin got no further than second, though, and it seemed as though Claude was in line for a shutout until the sixth, when Converses single was followed by Fritz Schmitz's three-bagger, to score Converse with the only Moose HldlKeT OI Ulle SdIIle.
 Last Inning Rally
 Trying to start last inning rally, Fritz rapped out the fourth Moose hit to open the ninth for the Moose, but in vain. The only other Black Sex to reach fist was Haglund, who was nicked by one of Erskine's pitches in the opening frame, but Andrews shared Martins drive and stepped on first to double Haglund and end the inning.
 The Islanders really won the game in the second chukker when Andrews opened by getting in the way of one of Converse's heaves. Red Gray sent Andrews to second with single and Al McCay fol- lowed him with a hard double that scored both Andrews and Gray. Me- Cay himself scored later with the third Douglas run that period when Joe Snow heaved one into the bull rushes trying for double-killing.
 Changes on Mound
 The eighth inning saw Douglas come up with it's fourth tally and Moose Hurler Clancy Converse re- tired from the mound. With one out in that session, Converse walked Gray and McCay. Niemi forced McCay while Gray went to third, from where he scored when Fritz Schmitz threw wild to first trying for double play. Converse then walked Nelson and Moose captain Stan Grummett decided that Con- verse had done enough pitching for the day; calling in Bob Kim ball from right field to finish the game.
 Kimball closed out that inning in hurry, but ran into some trou- ble of his own making in the ninth, the Islanders putting across their final score when Jensen singled, went to second on Jack Schmitz' punk throw, to third on Kimballs wild pitch, and scored on Andrews single
 The Moose drew the breaks to get by the seventh inning without more Douglas tallies being chalked up, as the Islanders had the bases filled with one out and Nelson apparently well on his way across the plate. But Nelson after rounding third, apparently forgot the way to the platter and was run down.
 Nelson and McCay, each with a double and a single in three times up, were the hitting leaders for the winners, while Andrews got two for
