been the big factors in placing the
Braves in a position TO fight for the

Kinley began to pack their bats. But
PAT o'SuIlivan dropped the sphere.
Then Harry Samuel Ku added ms
little mite TO the s6ause. He walked
Kan Leong. ~
And. They Walked
sam Ku walked him. and then ne
walked Iwanaga, and continuing the
story he walked Tsukiyama, ana
souza trotted in with run. The soy
fans who were waiting for something
10 happen surely were given q run
FOR their money, and Kurano walked
b the plate with the bases populated,
ana lift one of Ku's slants TO the o.
sullivan village In right field. This
time O,SuIliyan ran up for the ball,
and once again be dropped It, and be
fore the Braves could get together
three runs crossed the plate. 0'Sul-
Ivan broke finger nah In attempt
ing 70 make the catch, and left the
game. Silva took care OF Monsarrats
