will come again in the series

One of the big games of
this series will be played at
Olympmia Stadium Saturday.
April 6. The contest could set
a new attendance mark for a

In the regular season the
Trotters mix delightful fun and

can usually get away to a clear
lead. Then they begin Glowing

memoraies the Hungarian peo-

freedom. The resettling of
Hungarians escapes in our

my own words of pride in the
