The Bears, walloping Galveston for
lie third afternoon in succession and

a couple of records--for the sea-
s,n at least-were smashed in the
Bears 20-hit attack, and several
more were threatened. Twenty hits
or 81 bases-including a homer by
kohlbecker, triples by Todt and
Meyers and doubles by Fuller, Simon,
galloway, Gross and Morrison-isn't

Also, there was the queer situation
