TO FORCE TRIPLE TIE Kowloon?
By "KEYSTONE”
Robert Yung's rookie Pandas, achieved another notable triumph in shading the surprised veteran Dodgers 9-8 last Saturday to throw the Junior Division Championship race wide open. Three teams now share the coveted top position in the Minor loop, with the Dodgers, Pandas and Griffins running neck to neck as this Division swings into final round play. The young Blackhawks kept sharp watch on the three front-running teams, hovering close on their heels after a brief skirmish with the Gunners of the plucky but luckless 35 Bantams outfit.
