The Americans, however, were still four runs ahead at the end of this inning. When the seventh inning commenced, the Filipinos had to make four runa to win but with | their weakest batters up, they were blanked again.

Despite this reverse, the Filipinos are still favourites for the cham-) pionship, as they have only to beat the Americans in the replay to keep themselves out of the reach . of the South China "Dragons." In the event of another defeat, the Filipinos will have to play-off with the "Dragons" to decide the winners of the senior division.
