THE CHINA MAIL, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1957.
DODGERS PLAY SAINTS TOMORROW
Then Annual Camps Take Their Toll Of The Major League Stars
By "TIME OUT""
Every year about this time the loyal supporters of Colony softball find little opportunity to exercise their vocal chords as the annual "Camps" take their toll of star players of softball's top teams in the Senior Division. Some very unappetising 'fare will be dished out for the next three or four weeks as only teams in the lower section of the League table will be seen in action. This year the same situation prevails, except that before the lull sets in followers of the sport will derive some consolation from watching the last "big game" for some time to come. Fred Diesta's fiery P.I. Dodgers clash with the mighty Saints tomorrow afternoon at 3.30 p.m. in a Senior League match that promises to be a real thriller from the moment the first strike is tossed.
The Junior League this year has more than fulled its early promise as intense rivalry has marked every game played off so far. The week-end Junior programo gets off to a start when in the only game down for decision today, the P Dodgers cross, bats with the War Eagles.
In view of their fine allowing last week against the mare heavily favoured Choyennes the Dodgers start as
favourites and should have the full measure of the apposition.

SATURDAY'S RUGBY·
Club "A" Should Have No Difficulty In Overcoming RAF Mainland
Says "PAK LO"
Once again this afternoon the rugby games are well spaced out across the face of the Colony. For those living on the Island there are two games at Causeway Bay, the first which starts at 3.00 p.m. being between the Police and RAF Island while at 4.15 p.m. the Club "B" tako on the Navy..
On the other side of the harbour the first game is at 3.30 p.m. between Garrison and 48 Brigade on the Army ground in Boundary Street, but for the next game keen supporters will have to dash to Kal Tak where at 4.15 p.m. the RAF Mainland are at home to Club "A". Therefore on each side of The Garrison versug 40 the loose.
