the knot in such shape that it will
take another Alexander the Great to
cut the intricate knot that has been
fastened. A crowd of 1900 people

three hits Thursday night, tried the
comeback. He pitched we'll until the
sixth when he was relieved
Should the president of the league
throw out the protest, the game will
have to be played over. If the game
stands as played, it is likely that a
series of three games will be played
to determine the championship. The
