defeat Wichita Falls, s to 4, and was
the climax of an uphill battle that
enabled the Cubs TO overcome q big
lead which the Spudders had rolled
up in early innings.
Shires, Waco's brilliant first base
man, was quite rs instrumental in
helping the Cubs 10 victory as he hit
n double in n seventh-inning rally

eighth VIXEN two we're out delivered
q four-ply blow that tied the score.
Nason's home run in the fourth in

Bears won, 8 to 2. While Nason's
run was the only one which the
Bears got in that inning. in the next
frame San Antonio collected three
