Although the softball pennant picture is no clearer than it was a fortnight ago, the League standings have suffered drastic changes. which Ponda have been lost sight of in the excitement of the surprises in the Interna tional Series last week.
Leadership in two sections of the Men's Leagues changed hands as South China, by virtue of a narrow 4-3 triumph over Madcaps, climbed over the idle 8th Jan. Jaguars, while the Junior Dragons not only snapped the Rexes' winning streak of
seven straight, but also humiliated their rivals with a 14-3 shellacking, grabbed the lead in the minor circult with a half game lead.
