The 8th Hvy Regt, R.A., are also entering the league and are showing the way for other Artil- lery teams, despite the long way that they have to come to play their. games..

The Royal Air Force have a strong team and are after the lea- gue honours, this season. They have an excellent hitter in Gille- sple who has strengthened his hit- ting by playing a season of base ball.

Their manager, Tich Moulten, has great ideas for them, and they are rated. as the most im proved team in the Colony,

It is hoped that more units will follow the example of the four teams mentioned above. We are still trying to form an Army leas gue for this sport, but no replies have been received as yet. If any- one is interested will they please get in touch with the Area Sports Board.
