Where went the third game? Was it played? Or what happen- ed? Series "B" was almost as hard to follow. Mt.

Both games were lop-sided. but the second was 'a thriller for seven innings with the score being tied three- tiiree before Bombers erupt» ed for eleven big runs to sew up the game and a berth in the se- mi-finals against Mt.
