Lefty Smith Has Complete
 1. Control of Situation as . Paps Shutout Islanders

1 Credit Moose Finger Johnny Smith with the best pitching performance of the season. The leagues only port-side hurler mildly snarled: T have yuh in muh powuh" at the Douglas Islanders last evening as he cracked long horsehide whip over them for seven blank innings at Firemen's Park.
 While Smith was allowing only one safe connection to the Island batsmen, a drive along the right field foul line by Big Andy An- drews, that went for three bases. the Moose clouters rapped out eight bingles off three Island chuckers, for total of six markers.
 Tough for Islanders Two were out in the fourth in- ming when Smith went into the |momentary lapse that gave Andrews his blow, but Smith then immed- lately cinched down again and An drews was held on third while Smith himself gathered in Gray's trickler for the third out. Only two other Islanders managed to land on base during the ball game: Nelson in the third frame on a walk and Ers- |kine in the final sesion when hit by la pitch. Neither of them got past the initial sack.
 Good Support
 The Paps gave their slab artist ,errorless support, but that was not too much to their credit, as he let no hard chances come their way. Besides four strikeouts, two grass cutters that Smith handled himself, and roller to third baseman Con- verse, all the Douglas outs were on flies.
 Moose Scores
 The Moose scored all the runs they needed, one, in the second in- Ininf, when Grummett doubled, was advanced to third by Jack Schmitz, and came home on Andrews wild throw to third. The Paps added an- other in the third when Manning nipped Haglund with pitch to give him a ticket to first. A steal and Martins roller put Haglund on third and Joe Snow drove him across with double.
 Last Four Runs
 A fifth inning splurge saw the Paps get their last four runs. Hag- lund opened with a triple. Martin followed with a single to score Haglund, then Joe Snow same up with another three-base drive, send ing Martin across. That was the end of the line for Hurler Man ming. Jensen took over, but had immense difficulty in finding the plate, letting Snow in on a wild pitch. When Jensen did put one across, Grummett dashed it out for single. Jensen then threw far over first and Grummett went to second. Hawkins followed with an- other single to send Grummett to third. Jensen made another wild heave to first and Grummett cross ed the plate. As final effort, Jensen then cut loose with his sec- ond wild pitch and Hawkins was parked on second.
 Erskine on Mound
 Jensen then retired to left field and Claud Erskine mounted the rubber to end the inning by whif- fling Jack Schmitz and forcingl Converse to pop up fly on which McCay made a nice play to gather it in and double Hawkins off sec- ond. Only six Moose batters faced Erskine in the two final frames.
 All in all. Jensen had rather hard evening. Before climbing onto the hill, he had managed to come up with three errors. two on muffed grounders and one on a wild throw
 Snow, Haglund and Grummett| led the Moose attack. Grummettl drove out a double and a single inl four trips; Snow a double and a triple in like number of times at bat; and Haglund lined out a triple, was hit by a pitch, walked and sac- rificed in the four times he faced the pitcher.
