game laSt nlRnJ.
 But Fate was against them, and after hclding the top of the league Douglas team to a one-run lead from the fifth frame the thing happened when an easy toss from the mound to first went into Molly MacSpadden'S glove. out and be- tween his legs and rolled on. A run went in and the score ended to ' with the repeatedly-beaten Elks defeated again.
 Tied for Two Innings
 For two cantos the cellar loving Elks and the leagues high nine had been tied In both the first and second innings the Islanders had taken three hits and three runs from Koski and the Elks had only two hits and no runs chalked up. But with the score at to 0 i'll the beginning of the third, the Elkmen began a blitzkrieg that netted them five runs before knock ing Jensen out of the box and then took another from Erskine.
 It was from then on until the fatal seventh that Koski pitched 6 fine game, giving only one hit in the third and giving no hits and no runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth.
 And it was six to six until the fifth when a pair of errors by Big Andy Andrews and Eddy Roller allowed Waldron to come in after singlng.
 Play Close Ball
 From then on both teams were cautious, neither nine getting any hits or runs in the sixth. And with the Elks up first in the final canto, fans saw fast fielding hold the Juneau team to no hits, Taguchi, Waldron and Addleman grounding out.
 But it was a different story when the Islanders went to bat. Koski s arm started to wilt and he gave two hits Erskine took a double from him and was brought in by Jensens single. The score was tied.
 One man was out and Jensen had taken second base on Ellen burg's pebble in center field. An drews came up and flied out to EIlenburg. TWO away O'Deli popped an easy fly to Koski who easily snared it and started walking to- ward the first base bag. ODell had almost given up running for his base when he saw what hap pened, but not in the next few seconds.
 Molly Misses
 Koski made an easy underhand toss to MacSpadden on first. Fall ing low, the ball went into Molly s glove and then out of 1t, rolling about twenty feet from the base. Seeing what happened, both Jen- sen, who had made it to third base, and O'Dell, who was not asleep at the switch, started run ming. When Molly had recovered the bobbled ball, Jensen had scored and it was counted officially as a run when O'Dell was called safe on first.
 It was only two men down, but the score was one run in the red for the Elks and it was good enough for the Moosemen.
 The Elks had lost again.
