TESTING TIME FOR THE
JUNIOR LEAGUERS THIS WEEK-END
By "GRANDSTAND"
The absence of the cream of local diamond artists, who are away
on tour this week-end, has robbed the first full schedule of League games of much of the lustre which usually attends these occasions.
The promotion of several leading Junior Leaguers has also considerably de- pleted the playing strength of previous potential pennant winners, and it remains to be seen whether the newly dis covered talent will live up to expectations.
Although every one of the six Senior "B" Division outfits will be seen in action this week, only one "A" Division game has been slated and that is the Over- seas-Madcaps scuffle scheduled for 4.00 p.m. tomorrow.
