Hussain Shines For India
But Portugal Won 9-5
Cardinals-Wahoos In Season's Best Tilt
JESSIE WONG'S COSTLY ERROR
(By GRAND STAND)
On account of the heavy down- pour on Sunday afternoon only two Softball League games were played.
On Club de Recreio's ground, Portugal eliminated India in the semi-final of the International series by 9-5 in a close and scrappy contest.
The Indians put up a stiff fight both afield and at bat, but Portugal's heavy hitting and bet- ter base-running won the tilt.

Cardinals played a marvelous game and I venture to say that if the Redbirds had fielded a complete team, the result would have been
different.
Wahoos, on the other hand, play- ed a haphazard game and did not Johnny Alvares' deceiving de- liveries baffled the Indian batters, deserve to win the tussle. Despite who chalked up eight scattered hits their handicap, the Redbirds sur- during the encounter. Nazarin pitch-prisingly held

of the game.
ed well for India, speed balls were to the liking of the Portuguese sluggers, who nicked 12 safties, one of which was a Ruthian clout by Eddie Gosano,
FANCY FIELDING
The Portuguese boys did some fancy fielding, despite four errors chalked up against them. "Spotty" Pereira took fielding honours at the "hot-corner" with four put-outs and two assists. "Spotty's" batting and base-running was also outstanding.
He made three clean hits and pil- fered three bases.
Johnny Alvares, besides pitching great ball, aided his own victory with three timely hits. A. V. Gosano was very flashy at Short-Stop, but his stick-work was not up to much. in Eddie Portugal's out-fielders Gosano and Gerry Gosano did not have anything to do in the cabbage patch. Not a single fly was hit in their direction.

LEAGUE SOFTBALL AVERAGES
(By GRAND STAND)
HERE they are! Figures don't lie, they say, and these statistics show plainly how the lads, in the Men's Softball League, played this past season.
The local Sultan of Swat is "Bill" Muir, of the Central British Association, who batted .461 to take honours for stick work. Lead- ers in the Club averages are the English Forum sluggers. It looks very much as though they didn't take most of their opportunities after they got on bases.
|
Honorato Paulino, the diminutive short-stop of the Filipinos, is this year's champion base-stealer, and helped Filipino Club to lead in the Clubs' cushion pilfering.
It would have been interesting if we could also have compiled the slug- ging averages, but unfortunately, in four of the games the scorers did not trouble to add the interesting runs-batted-in column to the summaries.
The fielding averages will be published at a later date.

A HITTING SPREE In this inning, the Wahoos went on a hitting spree collecting six runs on five safe hits and one fatal error by Jessie Wong, who muffed Yvonne Yolee's skyscraper to left- Muir (C.B.A.) field. This miscue drove in three unearned runs.
The Cardinals attempted a vain rally in the last inning, but were only able to score two runs in thsis
canto.
Terese Noronha, besides än being form on the mound for Wahoos, fielded and batted well. She assist- in six put-outs and clouted three clean hits. Adi Zimmern pitched good ball till the 7th inning, when she weakened, allowing five well placed hits, including a circuit clout by Ada Sufflad.
