BRAVES SET BACK WARRIORS & PANDAS TOPPLE JAGUARS By “KEYSTONE”
The vengeful Braves made another purposeful stride forward on the comeback trail, displaying superb ball artistry in every department to snatch a fine 4-2 win from their erstwhile League rivals of the Warriors squad in the Softball League match yesterday.
In the morning Senior "A" game, the Pandas overcame a four-run deficit by unleashing a continuous barrage of bage-hits in the sixth to score a rousing 10-7 victory over the Jaguars.

Bookmakers Nominate Halloween Favourite For Grand National
London, Dec. 14.
Although the entries are not due until January, the first list of
prices for the world's greatest steeplechase, the Grand National, to be run next March, have been issued by leading bookmakers here.
Rather surprisingly, they have not installed this year's impressive winner, Teal, as favourite. They have nominated the Contessa di Santa Elia's eight-year-old gelding, Halloween, at the head of the quotations at 12 to L.
