WEEK-END SOFTBALL
All League-Leading Teams On Show In Men's Senior 'A' Bracket
By "TIME OUT”
This week's four-game softball card is highlighted by the appear- ance of all the League-leading teams in the Men's Senior "A" bracket, with the spotlight focussed on the veteran Saints as they make their final bid to stay among the leaders, with a return clash, against the HK Pandas at 1.30 p.m. Another loss for the Joeys would mean farewell to their Pennant hopes as they now trail the triple leaders with one game' behind.
Of the other two Senior scuffles featured, the Warriors and Bläckhawks, joint holders of the top rung in their clusive fadder, will be having fairly easy times at the expense of the US Navy and ACG respectively and should maintain their posts with a few runs to spare.

Geoff Fox, of Swindon, and George Wardle, of Darlington, were not at my execulion-they had quit under the Chelsea pressure against non-playing members being on the com- mitice. But they, I feel surc had also been swayed.
Walton wanted me out as chairman-and into a post of "paid organiser."
This job would have made me
nothing more than a messenger boy. I can imagine the procedure for Guthrie, paid organiser- "Oh Jimmy, wait outside while we talk business with

I will never take such a job with the Unfori,
I would say this to Mr Walton: "You say you have never taken the commission for introducing the Union's Insurance business to
another broker. It is commission to which, I understand, ail brokers are entitled. Why didn't you take it and give it to the Union funds?"
