This was done to insure closer competition and more interest. The National League ended up in a four-way tie between Tradewind III, Comet II, Comet I, and the Faculty team. This necessitated a play-off which Trade- wind III took, and thus clinched the pennant. Play off results in the National League: W. L. W. L. Tradewind III.. .... 2 0 Comet I ........ ....
