Souza Plays Sound Game For Portugal
By "Grandstand”
CLOSE DECISIONS featured the semi-finals of the International Softball Series last Sunday, when the Indians nosed out the Chinese 1-0, and the United States squad triumphed over Portugal 3-1, whilst Great Britain put up a surprisingly stiff op- position, only to be shaded 5-4 by the strong Chin- ese lassies.
With the exception of centre-fielder Wilson, the United States Leain was made up of players from The Mighty Mohawks, who partially wiped off the stigma of their Easter Monday humiliation, by tak - ng Riri Noronha's Portuguese lads before a packed gallery, in a brilliant display, featuring heads up ball by both teams.
