JEANNETTE YOLLE PITCHES WELL
By "Grandstand"
IN THE GIRLS' League, Wahoos, after display- ing poor form for the last two weeks, staged a bril- liant come-back on Sunday, by overwhelming the Baby Panthers by 11-6 in a game featured by the superb hurling of Jeannette “Blondie" Yolle, who was well backed by her team-mates, among whom, Irene Castilho, handling eight fielding chances with- out a fumble, was the most prominent.
