Interest in women's softball
hits a new high
By OLLY VAS
There is an upsurge of interest in women's softball these days, The latest information to come to hand is that, in various parts of the Colony more and more girls are picking up bat, ball and glove and receiving instruction from experienced ex-players with a view to learning enough to enable them to participate in the women's softball league next year. This bodes well for the future of the Colony's women's softball.
