Texas Ranger players pour out on to the field in defense of their teammate Jeff Burroughs dur-
ing Tuesday night's melee in Cleveland. Hundreds of Indian fans in right field rushed out of
the stands and started fights with players of both teams during the ninth inning of a 5-5 game.
As a result, the game was forfeited to the Rangers.

Hadassah champs in town
The dynamic duo of C.J. Kupec and Don Johnson have done
it again! The basketball twins soundly defeated for the second
time coaches Bifl Frieder and Jim "My Elbow Doesn't Hurt Me"
Dutcher 6-3, 6-3, 6-1 yesterday.
"I was just scared after running Campy out of town," said
a vanquished Dutcher. "I didn't want to lose C.J. too."
Frieder chimed in with different sentiments. "Dutcher and I
are in an amazing slump." Unconfirmed reports through the
grapevine claim that Frieder withdrew his Eldorado offer after
losing the match.
Tarnished but undaunted, the coaches plan to rebotd against
the Daily's darlings, "Flame Ball" Feldman and- "Brick Wall"
Bloom. Feldman and Bloom, local Haddasah champions, are
undefeated in doubles action in this, or any other season.
"We'll twist them in to a piece of chocolate halvah," said a
confident Feldman. "They don't call Bloom 'Brick Wall' for
nothing."
Time-and site are in proper shuttle diplomacy.
