would take the measure of the Asahts.
bat very few figured the tail-ending
HaWaiiS to beat the Stars. with big
Barney Joy serving EN- up from the
hill But that's just what happened
and now there need be no three-corner-
cd series for the championship. The
Portuguese and Stars were tied for
first place when they went into yester-
days game. and il either lost and the
other won, il was all over but the
shouting. -
Second Game Serappy.'
The second game was a scrappy one
that held the interest throughout. Poor
work on the bases at a critical moment
turned tie tide, and took victory away
from the Stars at a time when tie

probable. 40 team can win when the
runners anchor themselves to the Sack
and then take in the, scenery to the eX-
cIusion of tie game.
