WEEK-END SOFTBALL
CHINESE FIDDLED AND FALTERED AGAINST THE ALL-AMERICANS
By
"SNOOPER"
China fiddled and faltered badly in their softball tussle against the All-Americans yesterday. The Americans ran away with a 10-0 shutout victory when the Chinese ballplayers showed complete lack of concentra- tion. They have still not learned the lesson that bunting strategy alone will not bring them a win against those hard-hitting Orca batters.
There was no doubt that the United States were the better side. Repre sented by seven Orea ballplayers and two from the Senior "B" Americans, the United States put punch into their batting, which was the strong point of their game. The All-Americans outḥlt the Chinese by 5-3, the feature of which was the home run of Bob Hall and one over the fence by Jim Linville with bases louded.
