Getting the breaks mean'

The breaks are classed as unex-

If Dame Fortune station on a per-

turning point for good. A frown at

“We got the breaks but by tight-

Getting the breaks is apart. of
baseball. No series could he offered
as a better example of what they
mean to the fortunate team than the
1924 clash.
However. there are other ways of
getting the breaks than actually on
the playing field. For instance, be-

At least a half dozen players in
the major leagues this year have
