and the battle went overtime, des- pite increasing darkness.
 The Paps apparently sewed up the game in the first of the eighth when they pushed across marker when Kimball singled and surprised Jensen into an overthrow by am bling. to second. Before the ball came back from the outfield Kim ball was around to third, from where he scored when Andrews muffed Jensen's peg to first on Haglund's bunt.
 Douglas, though, climbed back to even terms in the last of the frame and even threatened strongly to clinch the game. With one out, Rol- Ter singled and moved to second on Turner's ground ball to second. A passed ball let Roller go to third and he counted the tying tally from there on drive to center by Jen- sen which Haglund could not quite gather up in the darkness. Werner then heaved wild on Niemi's grounder to fill second and third i; Niemi being hurt on the play and turning over his base-running to Turner Balog, however, after lin- gering long at the plate on a success sion of fouls, was out to Kimball and the game was over; night ab- solutely preventing any further play. And, the series stood squarer than ever
 Arbitting Good
 Though slightly behind Haglund in the ball pasting department, Joe McNamee, after spending one game convalescing in the outfield, stepped behind the plate last night to back up his homer with a good job as receiver. His throwing arm stopped all potential Douglas steals. Erskine, though faring not so well on the mound, furnished most of the pokes that kept the Islanders in the game.
 Empires Bob Duckworth and Ed die Lawson, turned in one of the best arbitting jobs of the season, in spite of the one-sided clamor from a pro-Douglas bleachers.
 The next playoff battle between the same two squads is booked to go seven innings at Firemen's Park this evening; commencing sharply at o'clock, weather permitting.

ALL SQUARE AS DARKNESS ENDS DIAMOND JOUST
Moose and Islanders Battle Eight Innings to Draw
 Last Evening

Power surged off the Moose bats last evening, but keyed-up nerves blew them high in the pinches and let the Douglas Islanders last out on even terms with them until nightfall closed out the third tilt of the Little World Series" with the two squads on equal ends of 8 g to 9 score.
 Six Douglas errors opened the way for two of the Moose markers; the rest of them came by dint of dyna- mite as the Black Sox clouters col lected two homers, a triple and seven singles On the other side of the books, a brace of Moose errors enabled the Islanders to turn five short blows and a pair of walks into five-run SiXth-inning furry that overcame a wide Moose margin and sent the game into dark deadlock after an extra inning.
 Last nights tie left the pennant playoff series even more tightly knotted, with each squad still hold ing to one victory and each still needing three out of tho five yet remaining games to capture the bunting.

Big Sixth Inning

Leading off for the Moose in the sixth, Grummett reached first on huff and moved to sec- ond on a wild pitch. Orme's single put Grummett on third and Orme pilfered second, from where Jack Schmitz advanced him and scored Grummett with a short roller. Schmitz reached first on the play to the plate. Kimball whiffed for the first out, but Haglund followed his three-bagger with a blow over the stand to clean the cushions and hand the Moose an 8 to margin.
 The Moose lead was short-lived, however, as the Islanders profitted by the breaks to even the count in the last of the session.
 Grants single started off the Douglas attack. Then, after Man ming had famed, Andrews drew a walk off Kimball and ErSkine cracked out single that filled all the stations. Roller followed Erskine with another one-base blow, slow dribble that Kimball gathered in and threw wild to first, letting Grant and Andrews cross the plate and Erskine and Roller move to third and second Somewhat upset, Kimball handed Turner stroll and Jensen followed through with a single to count Erskine. Roller, com- ing in behind him, was nipped by the throw-in from center, but third and second were left still loaded on the play. Then, on a hard-hit grounder, Jack Schmitz threw wild to first and both Turner and Jen- sen scored to send the Island total to eight tallies. Balog grounded to Snow to end the slaughter.
 Game Goes Overtime
 With one away, Werner singled for the Moose in the first of the seventh, but, following Grummett's out on strikes, Werner was picked for the third out trying to reach third after Orme's single. Doug las went down in order in its half

Erskine HOmers

Erskine HOmers
 After halting the Moosee by a strikeout with the bags crowded, Claude Erskine, opening Douglas hurler, set his side up with a three run lead in the last of the first when he poled a fast one over the grand- stand with Andrews on base ahead of him. Big Andy" had previously counted Grant from second with a single after Grant had led off by being hit by one of Kimball's pitches and had advanced on Manning's in- field out.
 McNamee made up for Erskine's homer with one of his own, line drive over the fence, in the next time up for the Paps, putting the Moose one run in front. With two away, Haglund had tripled to score Kimball from first. then himself counted on Fritz Schmitz' single. Schmitz crossed the plate ahead Of McNamee on the four-base clout. Jensen took the hurling chores off Erskine's shoulders after McNamee's drive and stopped the Paps.
 A double play nipped the Island CTS in the last of the third, and it was not until the fifth frame that a base was again covered. Opening the fifth, Fritz Schmitz scratched out a single when his dribbler bounced past Andrews. A passed ball put Schmitz on second but he died there as the three Pap Joes, Mc- Nance, Snow and Werner, went

ABOUT LIVING LONGER

The reader probably thinks he would
like to know how long he viii live. For that
reason human beings are always interested
IN revelations that tend to reveal the causes
OF death and the habits that tend to pro-
long life.
Prof. Maymond Pearl, noted biologist,
has recently come to some interesting con-
illusions about longevity. Inasmuch as they
are based on a scientific study of data the
statements of the scientist are worth pass
ing on, although every reader will know
Immediately that the student is entirely
wrong or any conclusion that does not
coincide with his or her prejudices.
Prof. Pearls study reveals that inheri-
lance is major factor in the achievement
of great longevity. It is not surprising that
ripe old aeg is based on pretty good egg
at the beginning.
He finds that smoking means a def
mite impairment of longevity, proportional
to the amount of tobacco used. Contrary
to some ideas he reports that mo measur-
able effect of the moderate use of alcoholic
beverages can be demonstrated" although
heavy indulgence definitely and consider
ably impairs life expectation
Hard physical labor, says the profes
sor, whether performed in indoor or out
door occupations, has TO effect upon life
expectation up to the age of forty but con
siderable effect after that age.

selss his study convinees him that it is pos
sible, even when such persons are in state
of good health, to distinguish the groups
that will be short-lived and those which
will be long-lived.
Prof. Pearl reports that life tables
show great Improvement in the average
duration of life in the past forty years but
this is due to great Improvement in infant
welfare and not lengthening of the bio
logical span of human life In fact, he as
serts that actually fewer persons alive at
the age of 20 today survive to the age of
90 than did forty years ago

TINE TO PAY OFF
Fort Myers News-Pressl

(Fort Myers News-Press)
If there were any tongues in cheek when
people read Mayor Shapard's ultinatum to tax
dodgers yesterday. they had better straighten
their faces because he made it clear, off the record
as web as on. that he means business. This is
not he declares. just another Of those gestures
with which the city has become all too familiar;
an empty threat which viii blow over with the
first opportunity to pass the buck to the courts
The mayor has figured all that out: ne expects to
be brought into court right off the bat and per-
hsps many times, but he says that is where the
tax dodgers win have to go, and stay. if they
expect to get back their city services and keep
them.
What the council has authorized the mayor to
do is withhold these services from all who do not
pay their taxes. including their tenants. Their
sewers win be disconnected their garbage viii be
left unsolicited and they VIII get no police or
fire protection In brief they win be denied the
services for which they refuse TO pay and the
mayor wants to know what is wrong with that?
Nothing is wrong with it and it wiz work if
