setting the pace In runs hits doubles and triples and Harris who haaf the best batting average Gooch's Homer Decides The decisive hit of the game however was a homer from the bat of Johnny Gooch

not be a cent better as drawing card than lie right now The same holds for Dempsey "But supposing they made a ter-rihlo fight and there isn't a heavyweight champion or a contender who has not made a

watching the bidders in action to use guesses of position ratings and real power than when the race commenced in April A lot of thines can happen in baseball over fifteen series of seven games each
