It is they who have been supplying the thrills throughout and tar inne have to thank Zaira, the able skipper, for hie untiring efforts in making his team, what it is to-day. Mr. Rull also works hard behind the scene, and the interest ahowa by veteran player like, Mr. Adefonso is certainly most encouraging to the team. They have the support of the fans and one could only with that this fine crew of sportsmen will not be disappointed at the ead of the season.
