Cheyennes Beat
Beat The Seminoles 6-2
By "TIME OUT"
If I had the good fortune to own a top-hat,, I wouldn't hesitate to doff it in a sweeping salute to Cheyenno right-fielder Alex' Xavier whoso magnificent fielding and "hustlo” on the base- paths proved a source of inspiration to his side in one of the tensost Junior League games seen at King's Park for a very long time.
Softball's fabulous team, the Champion Seminoles, had their run of 24 victories halted abruptly by the Cheyennes who beat them by 6 runs to 2 and incidentally put on a display that would cause some of our Senior sides to hide their heads in shame.

Weather conditions have been uppalling, with lushing gales and ley winds whipping the water into miniature waves.
