scoring a baseball game?
When you get score card at
the ball park and chalk up the
plays as you see them, does your
score correspond with the one you
see In the papers next day?
Here's a chance to show what
you know about scoring.
A ball team composed of the
stars of the American league is
playing with a similar club from
the National league.
The game proves to be most UNI
usual. Freak plays occur and the
scorers are kept mighty busy.
Here is an account of the game
play by play. Use your ingenuity
and figure out the box score. Send
all answers to The Times sporting
editor. Correct box score will be
published later.
