Mrs. Harper Ends Bird
Season With Success

SOUTHPORT, Feb. Gas usual
when the end of a hunting season
is approaching, numerous tales Of

up.
One of the latest is that Mrs.

neWsp: per editor, has accom-
panied her quail hunting husband
on several of his numerous expedi.
tons. She has been carrying a
little 20 guage gun and has man.
fully blazed away on any and ali
occasions, without result.
Yesterday, however, the more or
less ~exasperated husband handed
her his IL guage, when the dog
was pointed singles. Maybe it was
vikorous instruction, it might
have been evaporation, or per.
haps it was accident; the facts
are simply that that bird afforded
a subject for discussion as to
whether or not it should be mount
ed to show the results of the l94O-

Soose has been chasing Overlin for
quite some time. He already holds
an overweight decision over the ex-
sailor boy, a decision he was award
ed at Scranton, Pa, last summer, on
the merits of which experts at
ringside were divided. He also has
~outpointed the National Boxing as

Rice took his first single in the fifth but failed to make more than one base as Neilsen grounded out for three away.
 Then as rain began to drearily drizzle down on the players, the score became tied three times be- fore Kern clipped out the winning stroke of the game. The makers see-sawed back and forth until they stood at Tall as both hines fought for the lead. In the last of the eighth Sturrock singled and then came in on Shaw's single to break the last Elk lead and make the tie to '.

 The Elks came up to go right down in the ninth as Guy pitched steaming ball, and the fans settled themselves for overtime innings. Guy came up for the Moose in the second half to strike out and make room for Kern. And he did it.

 Each nine garnered 13 hits from the opposing hurler as nine inning battle went from sunshine to rain to sunshine in two and one-half hours that saw the fans betting and then hedging in midstream.
 Twas through luck and the slow weakening of Elk Pitcher Kuhuski that the Moose polished off the first game in the second half of the series, but the Elks held the lead for four innings and then tied the

score three times before the fatal drive of Kern's in the ninth.
 Lightnin' Kumasaka took the first run of the fray early in the first frame as he took advantage of two Moose errors, but it was only first blood and the third was the screwy inning that saw the Elks pile up four-run lead. while the Moose play ed a game that was just about as useless as a mustache cup.
 Home Run Sacrifice
 It all started as Rabbit Ellen berg popped out what was to have been a sacrifice bunt with two men on bases, and then brought in the whole field including himself as the Moosemen bobbled the ball. Taguchi and Kumasaka had taken singles from Guy and Iverson step ped up for a double. Taguchi came in for the first run.
 Ellenberg stepped up to pop a wobbly out into the infield and then sped for first. Pitcher Guy picked up the bunt and then made wild throw to home as Kumasaka came in. Meanwhile Ellenberg had made his sacrifice good and was attempt ing to make second. Grummett made mighty heave to the second platter but there was no one there or even around and abouts and the heave was about as useful as a pound of liver at vegetarians' con vention. While the ball rolled hap oily out into center field, both Iver- son and Ellenberg brought in the third and fourth runs of the frame
 Converse Helps Moose
 Mooseman Converse took the Mooses' first run in the third as he took a single from Kuhuski and then came in for the score as Guy took a one base hit. In the fourth Joe Snow added to the score as he smashed out a homer after two strikes. No one on bases. Hallie
