Moose Spot Elks Two Runs by First-Inning
 Slip-Ups

Three Kindergarten errors by -fourths of the Moose infield rolled last nights ball clash across Firemen's Park to the Elks dugout, by a 3 to l count.
 Just after Foster had lined out a double with one away to open ac- tivities for the Elks in the last Of the first, Joe Snow, Joe Werner and acting shortstop Clancy Converse let three easy grounders in a row gallop between their legs, while Foster and Gray scampered home to put the game on ice for the Purples.
 After their first inning failure, the Moose fielded almost perfectly the rest of the way through the bat tie, but could not stop the Elks from punching pair of singles to score Lawson with the third Elks marker, in the last of the fourth.
 The first of the fifth saw the Moose make their only marker a gift from the Elks. Joe Werner reached first when Russell over-ran

 The Moose put men on first and second in the sixth, but let them die there; and, again in their last time at bat brought the scant dark day crowd - its feet with rally With two outs in the first of the seventh, first and second loaded Fritz Schmitz had a golden oppor- tunity to put his team back in the ball game-but hitting southpaw in an effcrt to break his batting slump he whiffed and the ElkS had the game.
 Bud Foster, on the mound for the Elks, had a fairly easy time of 1t holding the Moose to five scattered blows; but his hilltop opponent Bob Kimball, was unable to get full efficiency from a tired arm ano sore back and had to content himself with a big day at bat; lac ing out a single and a triple ir three times up.
 O'Dell, young outfielder breaking in with the Elks, led the hitterS with a double and two singles in two trips. He showed real speed getting down to first for his first one-bag- ger on an infield roller.
 The Moose sorely missed theil big outfield punch, Haglund anc McNamee. in last nights battle having to fall back on pitcher Smilf to plug their ranks and sacrifice lots of hitting strength.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Although the 1888 baseball season is not ye half over, remarkable records have already been established by two pitchers, one a veteran of II years in the major leagues and the other rookie who broke into the biz time only last year for part of the season.
 Johnny Wander Nicer, mound acc for the Cincinnati Reds is the rookie. Lefty Grove, mainstay ot the Boston Red Sox pitching staff is the veteran. And the achieve ment of each this season has made baseball history
 Johnny, of course, is the young man who did the unparalleled by hurling two consecutive no-hit, mo- run games against the Boston Bees and the Brooklyn Dodgers, feat never before duplicated and one which probably never will be in the major leagues again.
 JOhnny's Modest Fellow
 His startling performance has failed to swell the head of this likeable Holland-Dutch southpaw though. Despite the adulation and hero worship which has been his since that second straight pitching triumph, Johnny has remained q modest unaffected youth who wears the same size hat he always did. That Dutch Wander Nicer an cestry has endowed him with a level head and a quiet nature which makes him one of the best-liked fellows on the Cincinnati squad. In talking to him, one is convinced tMis lanky youngster has more to him than a mere strong arm. He shies away from discussing his achievement, but gladly obliges when one of the many autograph fans who besiege him sticks pad and pencil in front of him.
 All of his teammates tell you that Johnny is one of the hardest workers on the club and a young man who takes baseball, as he does most things, very seriously. His present aim is to cure his wildness which has caused him no little concern and was responsible for Cincy shipping him to Syracuse last year after he had started the season with the Reds.
 No less remarkable is the record of Robert Moses Grove, another southpaw, who made his debut in big time baseball with Baltimore way back in 1920 and has been in there fooling the big leaguers since he was purchased by Philadelphia in 1925.
 Lefty Strikeout King
 Although he is now 38, Lefty is having one of his greatest seasons and is the leading pitcher in both major leagues. In winning 10 out of the first Il games he pitched, the old master proved that he was in rare form and far from the has, been some labeled him when Boston obtained him from Connie Mack.
 Most impressive thing about Groves pitching is his uncanny control, yet when he started in pitching, Lefty had as much trouble getting it over the plate as Wander Nicer is having today. He depended on speed alone in those early days and it was feared mat he would soon burn himself out. but Robert Moses still has plenty on the ball and the smooth est whip of any hurler in the leagues today.
 Grove also has the distinction of being one of the few pitchers in history to have famed more than 2,OOO men during his career. For seven straight years, from 1925 to 1881, Lefty led the American league in strikeoutsx Grove also has the

RISE IN CHEMICAL

NEW YORK. April .2e.-The sharp
rise in production of basic chemicals
during the first quarter, while indus
trial activity in general was moderate

some analysts.
They point out almost everything
consumed in this country is indebted
to the chemical industry in one way or
another, so that any improvement
means manufacturers have boosted
orders for acids, alkalies and the like
Output of heavy chemicals jumped

May Foreshadow Upturn.
Special significance is attached by
economists to this against the-trend
move of chemical production, as 1t
normally moves in the same direction
as industry itself. Since the chemical
industry's principal customers are the
thousands of fabricating plants scat
tered throughout the country. the big
increase in orders of basic chemicals
may well anticipate an upturn in
business volumes generally
For another thing, this huge in

course of business.
Often Takes Lead.
Although 1t normally follows the
pattern set by its manufacturing GUS
toners. this industry sometimes
changes direction somewhat before
general industrial production. In 1927,
for instance, the slump that began a
year earlier reversed itself in June,
whereas industry did not pull out Of
the recession until January, 1928.
Again after the prem. r. A. setback
in the summer of 1893. basic chemical
output turned up first.
The optimistic attitude engendered
by the squirt in chemical output, how
ever, is tempered by the fact that on
several previous occasions this barom-
