RAMBLING RECS NOSE OUT CANADIANS Game The Dream Of Every Ball Fan

(By Grandstand)

Before a large crowd, the Rambling Recs nosed out the Canadians in one of those thrill-packed games which is the dream of every ball fan. The tilt went into the 11th innings before the Re- creio outfit snatched the verdict in the tightest game seen on these shores by breaking a one- all deadlock, as Gerry Gonsaño hoisted a sacri- fice to deep centre with the bases loaded to score Leo Tavares from third base.

It was not so much of a pitchers' fuel but a test of endurance as both apposing hurlers bore down on every pitch-no free passes being issued for the full fifteen stanzas,
