Bad Breaks Hurt

As Told 10 John ?. Carmichael.


BOSTON, Oct. 12.-Maybe the
better team won the series-and
we had picked the Indians. But
a couple OF bad breaks cost the
Braves a tie and they would have
had all the best Of it in q seventh
game, with Johnny Sain. Cleve-

Sam Zoldak or Steve Gromek

team to victory the Braves can
be proud. They played like

The Communists broke up two
