Yesterday the Giants won the first game by a score of 6 to 1, the Yankees blowing up in the rain and cold in the last half of the eighth inning. The decision to postpone the game came after Baseball Commis- sioner K. M. Landis, Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yankees and Man- ager Bill Terry of the Giants slosh- ed over the field. Landis said: “We might as well call off the game. It would be! no test to play on such a field.” | Weather indications leaned to- & This picture shows the side of 6,400-foot Raven mountain where part af the cliff broke away to roar into Lake Loen in western Norway, The slide set up a huge wave that washed away the villages of Boedal and Nesdal with a loss of 73 lives.
