SAINTS - PANDAS CLASH WILL BRING A CAPACITY CROWD TO KING'S PARKS
By "SNOOPER"
On Sunday, the much-awaited clash between Jindoo Hussain's potential Champions, the Saints, and Jackie Wef's Pandas is expected to attraet a capacity crowd of softball fans to King's Park, and considering the highly competent manner in which the Saints humbled the Chinese Athletic Association by 4-to-1 a fortnight ago, Hussain's ballplayers are given an edge to register their fourth straight victory to retain their unbeaten record in the Senior "A" circuit.
The Pandas, who have had a good carly season except for their surprising setback last week-end at the hands of the Chinese Athletic Association, when they went down ingloriously by 7-to-6 in a mild upsel, will no doubl prove a hard team to bent. The first round meeting of the Saints and the Pandas may yet turn out to be the best game of the season.
