Dick McFalls, midget battery mate, slugged u two-for-three re­ cord to lead the winners at the plate. Darling and Bob Russell each collected two safeties. The locals pulled a double play in the last inning to cut off a possible threat by the air­ men. Harry Jacobi, Lome Haugh and Fred Darling figured in the feat. A GOOD SHOT IN ANY LANGUAGE — In Finland, 17- year-old George Genereux is called “huelimatta taysmestari”.
