ELKS MIX WITH
 MOOSE IN BALL
 TILT TOMORROW
Pair of Catchers, Tag and Snoddy, Assigned to
 Douglas Squad

Responsibility of protecting their wide lead on the rest of the League teams will be on the hands of the Elks when, weather permitting, they take the field at 530 o'clock against the Moose at Firemen's Park in a nine-inning tussle Sunday.
 Bud Foster having won for them last evening against Douglas it would appear that the Elks pitching choice is narrowed down to Ward McAlist- CT; while against McAlister the Moose are likely to fling any one of their three chuckers, Bob Kimball, Lefty Smith or Clancy Converse. Johny Smith, however, would seem the Paps' most likely mound selec- tion
 If Smith opposes McAlister it will be with blood in his eye, as he has a score to even with the Elks hurler, marking back to the second game of the season, when the Purples nosed him out.
 From all weather appearances, though, it is very possible that to- morrow's game will be rained out. Rain at 5 o'clock tomorrow after noon will be even to add the contest to the delayed list
 Two more assignments of new players to league teams have been made by League President William A. Holzheimer; but neither of the new recruits will show tomorrow, both having been assigned to Doug las.
 The two assignees, both catchers. are Vernon Snoddy and Carl Tag.

ELKS COP THIRD STRAIGHT SCALP IN BUNCLE FEST
Bevy of Boots Accounts for Puppies Winning Mar
 gin Over Islanders

Nine errors did most of the work in last evenings ball battle between the Elks and the Douglas Islanders.
 A brace of bobbles first tilted the game toward the Islanders when they put across their tally in the second inning; but then more boots followed to swing the victory back to the Elks in the next frame. Then, along in the fifth chukker the Is- flanders contributed couple more misplays to cinch the Elks in their third straight win, 3 to 1.
 First at bat, the Elks lasted only while three batters faced Douglas hurler Erskine. One of the three hitters, did however, get good hold on the ball and pounded 1t over the leftfield fence for what should by all means have been two- bases. Islander gardener Jensen, though, backed up Erskine with the play of the day; jack-knifing him.

self across the barrier he gathered in the drive with the tip of his glove, while Lawson thought hard things about the way of the world
 Run Is Git
 The Islanders run was an outright gift from the Purples.
 Andrews led off the inning with a lazy fly to center, which Russell gathered in in approved style. then let fall. Safe at first on the huff, Andrews was worked to third on two infield outs, then crossed the platter when Elk third d-sacker Bradley let a simple little grounder trickle by him.
 Coming into the third, the Elks really went out and earned run to tie the count, but were nicely help ed along by Douglas errors toward a second tally that put them out in front.
 Fosters single opened the firing and was followed by Bradley's neat sacrifice. Roller then missed Law sons grounder and Addleman walked to crowd all the cushions. Forsythe thereupon got a firm hold on the ball and scored Foster with a drive across second. Then on relay which should have cut Lawson at the plate, Bonner heaved the horsehide high against the fence and the purples led.
 DcJty Pty
 The daffiest play of the game op- ened the road for the final Elk mark CT in the fifth. With two men out on strikes, Addleman dumped the apple right on the plate, then turn ed to argue with Umpire Welch as to wheather it was a foul while Pink ley gathered it in. After listening a while to the course of the nearby argument, Pinkley decided to get rid the ball; which he did in no half hearted manner. He heaved 1t some ten feet over Andrews at first and into the bleachers. Seeing the ball go bounding off the field, Addleman cut short his battle with the arbiter and scampered to first, from where he was waved on to second according to the rules governing overthrows.
 Erskine, being irked by the situa- ton, grooved one for Forsythe, the next hitter, who drove it into left field, where Jensen first misjudged the hit, then did not quite gather it in with last-minute dive. That er- TOT was enough to put Lawson in with the final run.
 Erskine was about the only Doug las player who seemed to take last evenings game seriously. Besides holding the Elks to one earned run and four hits, he took hand in most of the plays on batted balls and accounted for nine strikeouts.
 Foster, on the other hand, had generally good support as he set the Islanders back with a single safe blow. Eddie Lawson and Earl For sythe, especially, continued the hot pace they have set around the key stone sack all season MacSpadden and Addleman and Abramson and McVey likewise performed in an able manner; while MacSpadden and Forsythe contributed most of the EIks' punch at the plate.

BY the Associated Press,

LONDON. Oct. 25.-Oswald Prov,
Union of South Africa defense min
lister, disclosed today he would visit
Berlin in the near future to discuss
Germany's colonial demands in Africa.
PROV made known his plans at
Marseille, France, as he stopped en-
route to Lisbon, where he said he
would talk with the Portuguese gov
ernment on Nazi colonial demands.
He will then fly to London.
His statement came as Prime Min
lister Chamberlain met members of the
inner cabinet to discuss how he could
reach real friendship with Adolf Hitler
and bring into effect his Easter &C
cord with Benito Mussolini.
The Union CT South Africa is vitality
affected by Germany's colonial de-
mands, since Southwest Africa, which
is under her mandate, is one of the
former German colonies likely to be
involved in any settlement with Ger
many.
Old Reports Revived.
The fact that PROV was headed for
Lisbon first revived old reports that
Angola. Portuguese African colony.
might be included in any Anglo Ger
man colonial deal
A suggestion was revived that an
arrangement might be made by which
Hitler would get this Portuguese colony
and perhaps part of the adjacent Bel
gian Congo instead of British or
French inundated territories. This
suggestion. however. came from an
entirely unofficial quarter.
Portuguese officials planned an elab-
crate program Of entertainment for
PROV Reports from Lisbon said he
would talk with President Oscar Car
mona and Premier Antonio de Oliveira
Salazar during the afternoon.
Dinner Tomorrow.
The Minister of Colonies, Francisco
Machado, will be host at a dinner
for PROV tomorrow night, and Presi-
dent Carmona will have him as a
luncheon guest tomorrow.
Brltalns inner cabinet meeting in
cluded high military leaders as well
as War Minister Leslie Hore- -Belisha.
Air Minister Sir Kingsley Wood and

Thomas 1nskip. who joined the ses-
sion during the noon hour.

hurried back from Edinburgh to at
tend the 10 Downing street meeting
after a speech last night in which he
told Of Mr.. Chamberlains fervent
search for permanent settlement with
Germany. Sir Samuel Hoare, home
secretary, also attended the meeting.
The colonial issue presented serious
dindculties. Parliament next month Is
sure to reflect powerful opposition
to any transfer of mandates-opposi-
ton which has been expressed both
at home and in South Africa Added
to this is the acknowledged difficulty
of getting Hitler to say precisely what
he wants in the colonial line.
Parliament also is expected to have
plenty to say about Mr. Chamberlain's
apparent plans to put the British
Italian agreement Of April Is into
operation by midNovember on the
basis Of Mussolini's withdrawal of
10000 or $4,000 Italian soldiers from
Spain.
