The Elks scored their lone marker in the first inning when Beveridge, first man up. hit to pitcher and advanced to second when Sawyer threw wide to first. He took third and scored a moment later on Infield outs. Sawyer of Mill Dam pitched his first game since joining the Red Men and pitched a fine game He was steady throughout and was never in danger after the first inning when his own error paved the way for his defeat. The Elks could do little or nothing with his delivery, and he dis played a coolness in the pinches which was creditable. Besides his jown good hurling, he was supported in remarkable style by his infield which was not slowed up by the heavy diamond. Two double plays at critical times helped him out f embarrassing situations. Pinner was in the box for the Elks and for the first time in two years. lie was backed by gilt-edge support. He kept his few nits scattered ex - cept in the seventh inning when two singles over the infield, and a fluke hit, Jammed the bases with one down. At this Juncture, Evans relieved him in the box and ended the game by striking out Owens and Bufflap.
