ON THE SOFTBALL SCENE What's Best in Kowloon
Fine Exhibition Of Thrust And Parry At Last Council Meeting
SEVEN GAMES FOR WEEK-END
By "TIME-OUT“
must compliment the Chairman of the Management Committee of the Hongkong Softball Association for a most skilful exhibition of thrust and parry which he displayed last Tuesday at the 4th Council Meeting of the Association, when the controversial issue of the Braves-Saints Senior league game was tabled.
His was a display 'par excellence,' which would have done
credit to the local Fencing Association.
Since I have not been asked to refrain from airing the issue I feel it a duty to put the matter in its proper perspective and let the readers be the judge and jury all in one.
