BABY PANTHERS FAVOURED FOR MATCH WITH CARDINALS Wahoos Expected To Redeem Recent Failures
Wildcats Should Have Little Worry Against Ramblerettes
By "Grandstand”
IN THE CURTAIN-RAISER OF THE USUAL SIX-GAME SOFTBALL PROGRAMME AT CHAT- HAM ROAD TO-MORROW, THE GREEN-SHIRTED WAHOOS WILL TAKE ON THE FLORINHAS. DES-
POOR PITE THEIR RECENT
FORM, THE WAHOOS SHOULD NOT LOSE THIS ONE, AND IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT POSITIONAL CHANGES WILL BE TRIED OUT.
Rookie Ida "Sweet-as-apple-cider" Castro, who has been seen at the hot-corner in the last few games, will be given a chance on the mound, with first-string hurler, Jeannette Yolle, being switched to third base.
Another change will be at the. keystone sack, where Fat Pacso will be seen. With a little more ball-sense, Pat will make a real good infleider.
The Little Flowers will be there trying, and in this country you can't hang anybody for that.
Doc Molthen, Dave Walker and
C. M. Xavier have been selected to umpire this game.
The Recreio Ramblerettes are not expected to offer much opposi- tion to the Wildcats, when they

Best Game Of Day: "At ̄ ̄ 10.30 ̄ ̄ ̄am, the Cardinals will meet the Baby Panthers in the only interesting tilt of the day. in the Ladies' League. In their last two tussles, the Cardinals showed they have something this season, and if they keep up the good work, they should manage to finish in the top half of the Lea- gue.

batting order is necessary, Last week they made the mistake of bunching up their hitters, with the result that the weak-end failed to come through on the two occasions that the bases were loaded,
The weak spets in the fielding are the out-fielders-I've yet to see a catch in the garden! The infield also needs a bit of polish, and "Gilly" da Motta would be better at the keystone sack, where the heaves to first are shorter, switching Grandma Hutchinson to short-stop and Bee -Johnson, to third.
