 Lawscn's run was succeeded by those of Martin, Snow and Converse. and with the exception of Lawson who flied out, the team repeated the scoring feat in the next canto, Mar tin, Snow, Johnson and Converse chalking up the countars.
 But the camp of the Moosemen was quiet for the next three frames, only one hit and no runs being made.
 And in the meantime the deter mined Elks kept plugging away. Ad- dleman knocked double that was turned into run by Havlic's single. and in the fourth, Pasquin, Mac Spadden and Lewis got gold stars in the credit side of the ledger.
 Elks Retaliate
 But still the Moose had a lead of one run, so when the first half Of the sixth canto ended the Elks had remedied the danger temporar- fly after four men had made the tour of the bases. Addleman, Mac Spadden, Neilsen and Kumaska got around the sacks and the score board gave the Elks three run lead Nielsen, who seldom goes to bat without getting on base, went to frs ton walk, and the other three got hits, Addleman smashing a homer over the fence and making his third hit of the game.
 Two home runs, by Johnson and Guy brought up the score for the Moose when their turn came, and, not satisfied with a mere approach to a win, they continued in their hitting spree, with Slugger Snow connecting with double and tying the old ball game.
 Tie Unbroken
 And for five more innings, the hungry, tiring but excited fans sat in their seats waiting for some one to do something. And they waited in vain. Although they saw no runs made in the last five cantos, they saw plenty of action, and when the game was called in the fourth over- inning because of darkness, they went home chattering and with sat- isfied looks on their faces.

 KOSKI STARTS
 With Koski starting on the mound for the Elks, the Moose rapidly chalked up eight runs in the first two innings and the game looked like an other walk-away for the Moose. The score stood to 3 at the end of the second, for the Elks had taken four hits and three runs from Converse while at bat.
 The surprise of the game was when Lewis, stepping up to the plate for the first time this season, drove a terrific homer over the left field fence, and trotted home to make the first run of the, game.
 But when the Moose came up against Koski, who was not pitching as well as he did when the Elks met the Moose in their last game. they promptly took four runs an inning from him in the first two cantos and it was then that the ElkS sent in their second pitcher, Lewis, who fin ished the game.
