MOOSE STROLL HOME AS ELkS
 PLAY BOOT-EM
Black Leg Team Collects 9 Counters Tn One Frame
 to Co in Front

Handed the ball game to the Moose on a broad, shiny platter, did the Elks last evening at Firemen's Park, and they romped home with the big, red apple in the form of a 12 to 3 victoiry that put them once more on top of the league stand ings.
 Walks and generally loose play by the Purples accounted for the Paps' win, while a sad seventh stanza turned a there to-fore well set up battle into rout.
 The story of the ball game is told in that first half of the sev- enth, which began with the score tied at three-all and the top end of the Black Sox' batting order lined up for its cut at the horsehide Fritz Schmidt led off with his sec ond walk of the night, and the fifty issued by Big Mac Mac Spadden on the mound for the AAkj. Hagiund bowled MacSpad- den over for one base with a drive across the hill, and Schmitz went to second. Then wild pitch ad- vanced both runners.
 The Crash
 Tom Martin rolled one into short right that put him on first on a tielders choice when Manthey wing cd the ball to the plate to cut off Schnlitz, but Schmitz, the ball and Elk catcher Kelly Blake came to- gether at the plate and the ball relied free to let Haglund keep coming around third and across the plate while Martin continued to a1cond.
 Two more walks handed out by MacSpadden filled the bags and dIcw him his ticket to third base, While Bud Foster switched from third to the slab. But Foster had not bis control with him either and walked Martin across. Joe Werner whiffed for the first out, but Foster dished out another stroll that sent the fourth tally across for the inning
 The Bags Loaded
 With the bags still packing a ca- pacity cargo, Converse looped a pop foul to first, but Fritz Schmitz, up for the second time in the frame, laced out single to center that drove two markers across. But the worst was not yet
 Haglund dumped a single to sec- end and Kelly Blake again lost the throw to the plate to nab Jack Schmitz, letting Fritz Schmitz fol- low his brother home, while flag lund rounded third. Blake threw to catch Haglund, but MacSpadden let that one go by him, and flag iund galloped home Martin then walked and Snow singled him to third. Snow stole second to put two more runs in threatening po- aition, but Kimball, repls cling short Stop Cecil Gray, famed to end the inning. But, nine runs were in.
 One, two, three for the Elks, and the ball game was over.
 New Short Stop
 Besides putting them atop the lop once more, the tussle turned l up a rather sweet-appearing short Gtop for the Moose in Gray, a new conner, but, on the reverse side of | the ledger, Catcher Tom Hawkins endeavored to drop bunt with the thumb on his throwing hand and 1 will be out of the Pap lineup for the next two or three games.
 Nick Johnson, playing left field, did his part for the losers, driving out double and two singles in three times up, and scoring one of the three Elks' runs. Hiding flag lund got three singles in four trips for the Moose, while Joe Snow got | half of four Though Pap Hurler Clancy Converse, pitching his fi- nale for the season allowed seven
