ELKS MEET MOOSE
 IN BASEBALL WAR
 IF SHOWERS MISS

As occasiona. glimmers of sun shine broke through the cloudy skies over Juneau today, then fad ed out so did the anticipations of Juneaus baseball fans glow and dim, but, with press-time reached, and still no rain, it would appear that a baseball game is really in store for this evening, breaking the chain of games rained out. If there is still no rain at 5:30 o'clock this evening, according to the GaStineau Channel League rules, the game will be on at 6:30 o'clock at Fire mems Park, with the Moose and Elks tying into each other in determined fashion.
 The Moose are expected to stick to the lineup with which they plastered the ElkS last Sunday. with Clancy Converse probably do- ing the hurling for the Paps. A few shifts are, however, on tap in the array of Purple-Clads. It is expected that Capt. Molly Mac Spadden will take over the initial sack for the Elks, with a new cCmer, Lee McGuern, on second. Grassy Lowe will probably come in from leftfield to shortstop, while
 shavey Koski is scheduled to take
 the hill. Ralph Bardi, supplanted at short, will likely retire to his old niche in the outfield.
