Braves The Athletics played just as
they always do, figure the plays the

1t was not youth against age, weary
team against young and busting
one, but IL was a fighting, aggressive,
undaunted club against one playing
the game along prescribed rule and
playing to match skill and science
against nerve and aggressive attack.
The final game was almost a fore
