Notwithstanding t,iao they garn- cred 10 hits to four for the Elks, the Douglas Bremen lost the grip once more in the final two innings and came out on the short end of Az score last night.
 Getting the game underway with, a convincing rally, the Firemen tagged Cantillon, the Elks hurler, for two singles and double in the first heat and had a two run lead at the out. McGhee and Tyvol came in to score after get ting on with single and an error Holloway singled and made third on Morrison's double, but both men died on the sacks when Little field was tossed out at first for the retiring out.
 The Elks evened the score in the last of the second when Smithberg and Logan completed the four point circuit. There was some dis pute as to whether or not Logan had safely made the plate ahead of Dodson's toss home, and when the dust had settled, plate ump Selmer pulled off his gear and took a grandstand seat in the dugout. Selmer quit after Bob Coughlin, the Douglas manager, had stormed on the field like a Sherman tank ablaze when Logan was called safe at home. Jim Vuille assumed the plate ump's duties and Ed Krause came on the field to call the bases.
 Tie Broken
 The game went along at two apiece until the last of the fifth when Joe Snow came up for the Elks and broke the tie with his heavy stick. Having previously walked in the first and popped up to right field in the third, Snow, made his fifth inning trip to the plate good one when he stepped into a fast one and sent it we'll over the right-center field fence to give the Elks three-two lead.
 With one man down and men on first and second, the Firemen were in a position to tie it up once more in the first of. the sixth.
 Kalakay, the next man up, drove a fairly hot one to Cantillon, who made a quick toss to third where Littlefield was out; Joe Werner then fired the ball to first where Kalakay was out for the third man down in double play made the hard way.
 In the last of the sixth, the Elks made it into two run lead when Logan came home on Hager- ups single into center field. Hous- ton popped up for the third out, leaving Hagerup to die on base
 Firemen's Threat
 Far from being dead on the field the Bremen once more threatened in the first of the seventh when Manning started it off with a clean single. On the next play, Houston tossed to first in an at- tempt to catch Manning away from the sack, but the throw went high and deep into right field where Hakkinen had little trouble picking it up. In the meantime, Manning had rounded second and was on his way to third. Smith, berg picked up the throw from right field and relayed it to third where Werner was waiting and Manning was sliding.
 Werner missed the catch and as the ball rolled over against the fence, Manning was off to a quick start and on his way home. With a last desperate heave, Werner fired the ball home where Hous- ton tagged Manning and crossed out what nearly became a score 1 on errors. McGhee came up and doubled deep into center field, but the Firemens threat was short lived as the next man up famed, and Dodson made the third down when he popped into left field.
