As in the book, at the crucial moment when the hero is sup posed to walk in. the door, the Douglas ball club last night came out of a hitless-scoreleSs doldrum to bat out five runs in the last inning, tie the score, then go to the extra inning to win 6-5 last night at Douglas.
 It was a funny drizzly ball game and most of this Horatio Algers stuff happened after fans had repaired to parked cars or simply gone home.
 Moose made a run in the fourth two in the sixth, and two in the first half of the seventh. Tn seven innings, with the advantage of 13 hits off Erskine and four Douglas errors, Moose. playing errorless ball with Guy pitching hitless ball, ap- peared to be a cinch.

 Housing accommodations are practically nil, but work is being rushed on living quarters at the Army base site, Mclean said, and added that FILA financing is apparently the only thing that will give Anchorage a building boom, with most working capital tied up elsewhere.
 Mclean said, however, that any skilled laborer can go to work up there" the best construction men getting Sl4 a day as foremen, first class carpenters SIP a day, and second class carpenters S9.
 The Alaska Railroad is having it's work cut out for it hauling the heavy tonnage of the Army, Me Lean said, declaring "at the base itself, you never saw so many pieces of equipment running around in your life, and at Seward the dock and yards are so damned with equipment that the boats are not always emptying their holds"

NASHVILLE. Tenn. July 30. z Johnny Mihalic. whose second-oase play is. one of ,the chief reasons why the Nashville Vols have led the southern Association race since opening day, admits to a few supersitions
 Before every pitch he turns his head toward rightfield, then to- ward leftfield, back again to right, and then back to the left.
 Fans who have discovered his .cccentricity grow dizzy watching him.

 If the enemy batsmen begin to get hot, Johnny augments the head twisting routine by touching his chin with each forearm - twice.
 At bat, he taps the plate twice, and between pitches, tugs at his belt-twice.
 If the Vols need hit badly, he lets three little girls-daughters of. a club official-touch his mace from their box seats.
