McNamee Need Little Help to Blank All Stars in
 Near No-Hitter

Claud Erskine's lonely single stole a no-hit game from big Joe Me Nance Sunday, but evened every thing up by clouting one of the two homers that accounted for the three-run margin by which the champion Moose shut out the best the rest of the Gastineau Channel League had to offer in the post season, benefit clash.
 After McNamee had carried near ly the whole burden of the Moose attack through eight frames, Clancy Converse stepped up to share home run honors with a grandstand drive in the ninth that poled Joe Werner across ahead of him. The last two Moose markers were really super fluous, as McNamee's fence ball in the fourth was enough in itself, backed as it was by an almost flaw less hurling performance.
 Jensen in Form
 As if walloping the winning run were not enough, McNamee collect cd a pair of doubles, additional, III his three other trips to the plate. Jensen, who did the heaving for the five Douglas Islanders and four Elks who made up Manager William A. Hodzheimer's All Star aggregation, was. however, in rather rare pitch ing fettle himself. Jensen had his curve nipping the corners and al lowed only four safe blows besides the damaging clouts collected by TIcNamee and Converse.
 Four full innings went by with cut an All Star reaching base be- fore Erskine led off the last of the fifth by rapping out the single that ruined McNamee's shot at glory. After working around to third, Err skine was stranded there, and l. was not again till McNamee re- faxed again Then, once more 1t was Erskine who landed aboard the inl- tial bag, on walk.
 But, with two already away Err skine got no further, and 1t was Lonny Grant who made the next try to land a run for the Stars. Leading off, Grant drew a stroll, was advanced to second by Turner's bunt and went on to third on a passed ball, but a whiff and plus an infield out left him high and dry at that station.
 Stars Make Last Try
 The last of the ninth saw the final drive at score by the All Stars. Ellensberg was first up and reached first when one of McNa- mee's heaves collided with his knee. A fielder's choice, however, then dld away with Ellensberg and left Eos ter first as the final Stellarite man to man the bags. A pop foul and a long fly then followed and the game was done.
 McNamee's double in the first and Haglund'e single in the third and Ha lds single in the third amounted to nothing for the Moose until McNamee again went to the fore and led off the fourth with his four -baser. Following that the Paps again eased off, the next three men flaming and nobody reaching base in the fifth. The sixth. though threatened a second Moose score when, with one away, Fritz Schmitz scratched a single and McNamee doubled him to third. Both runners, however, died off when two outs quickly followed.
 Only three Moose faced Jensen in the seventh, but, with one gone in the first of the eighth, Star right fielder Bill Robertson lost his bal ance and dropped fly to let Hag- Iund through to second and forced Jensen to fan Fritz Schmitz and McNamee in order to ease out of trouble
 Werner Opens Firing
 Joe Werner lit the fuse that again touched off the Moose dyna- mite in the final frame. Following Shows fly, he doubled and waited around on second until Converse poked him home with lofty smash that bounced on the grandstand roof. Blake followed up with a sin gle, but stayed on first as Jack Schmitz flied for the third out.
 Manager Holzheimer backed up his declarations about bagging a store of Moose-meat by picking himself a ten-strikeout pitcher In Jensen and a gang of fielders that made but one chance error; but he is now convinced that the Paps can take good care of the best that AL aska has to offer and figures he had better send out SOS. calls
