Cheyennes Can Chalk Up
Hat-Trick Of Softball
Wins This Weekend
By OLLY VAS
In the Men's Junior Softball League only the Pandas remain undefeated to date but the situation is likely to change when they come up against the Cheyennes this afternoon at 2.30 p.m. This will be the game to watch .and the Cheyennes manager Robert Remedios may have a lot to be happy about, for over the weekend his three teams stand excellent chances of recording a hat-trick in victories for him.
His ladies' nine are pitted against the Squaws tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. and they should pack too much power, even without Frances da Silva's pitching, for the opposition.

After a somewhat letharyde start the Cheyennes are finally settling down and I favour them to topple the unbeaten Pandas by a narrow margin. Both sides boast some heavy hitters but the Cheyennes can rely on some good bunters in the line-up to pus those vital runs across the
