BLACKHAWKS SCORE TWIN VICTORY TO CONSOLIDATE LEAD
By "GRANDSTAND”
Blackhawks consolidated their lead in the Junior Softball Leagac when they coasted home with a twin victory over the week-end, shading the rival Dalawares 54 before a crowd of fans who braved the sandstorm at King's Park, and stiffling the Mustang attempt 10-3.
