The Men's League served one up for “Believe or not” Ripley, on Sunday.üfternoon, when all three' games were decided by the odd ran in nine." The 'Midgets and Chinese Basebailers made sure of finishing at the top of the standings when they scraped home, against the C. B. A. and Canadian Chinese respectively,
Laurels for the best performance of the day must be given to the Central British boys who, in the opener, led the Midgets -right up to the sixth frame in which the winners scored three tallies on two hits, aided by a walk and an error, to regain the lead.
