VETERAN K0SKI RESTS TURNER
 FOR ELKS' WIN
Brace of Island Errors Put Elks Out Tn Front Tn
 10-Hit Game

Hurlers Turner and Koski prac tically throttled all opposition as play was resumed in the Gastineau Channel League last evening.
 But. while Koski was proving that life begins in the old arm at forty or more, by shutting out the Islanders with six scattered blows, his Elk mates were able to make their four hits gleaned off Turner add up to two runs and Purple win over Douglas.
 A freak single on a trickling bunt off Red Gray's bat led to the dona- ton of a run and the game to the Elks by the Islanders, in the first inning. Reaching first, with one out, Gray was helped on to second when Bob Bonner muffed Man ning's throw on a likely-looking double play setup. Another twin killing was in the making on the next play. when Forsythe hit to short. Roller Tipped the sphere to Bonner to nip Addleman, but Bon ners' throw to first was lost in the sun for an error on Andrews and safety for Forsythe; Gray, mean while, advancing to third on the hit and scoring on the error.
 After that opening run the Elks were held completely in check by Turner, only futile singles in the second and fourth frames being counted against him, until the first of the seventh and final inning. Then Forsythe led off with a solid double to right-center, which he stretched into a three -bagger. Mac Spadden famed behind him, but Hagerup dribbled a swinging bunt to Manning to count Forsythe.
 Following their two costly mis- cues in the first inning, the Island CTS made no more defensive bulls the rest of the route, but bonehead base-running spoiled two of the times they managed to get men on base
 Jimmy Manning got the first of the Islanders half-dozen hits; his fly to right field catching Barnes asleep for a first inning single. Erskine bunted Manning on to sec ond, but there he died
 Mark Jensen, who led the days hitters with two out of three, got the first of his singles in the sec ond chapter; but, he then fell vic- tim of the graybearded hidden ball" gag and was tagged out at first by Molly MacSpadden.
 Niemi singled and Roller doubled to open the third session for the Islanders, but Koski settled to his work and let the runners go no further than their perches on sec ond and third. The same treat ment was accorded Andrews two- base blow in the fourth.
 With the assistance of more be- nighted base trodding by Johnny Niemi, Fry Hagerup came up with double-play to shut the Islanders out in the fifth. On first, with one away, Niemi started sprinting around the paths under Rollers high fly to right and was far away from safety at the first cushion when the pellet came down in Hagerup's glove. Strikeouts accounted for two of the three Douglas men to face Koski in the last of the seventh, and the finale saw Jensen perish on first, after a single with two away, when Bonner famed to end the game.
