In Close Clash; Jesse el Arculli Shows Outcurve
(By "R.O.Y.")
The Recreio-Mindanao clash provided the closest battle of the week-end baseball programme, and although the other swo matches decided were rather one-sided, both had their exciting moments, and interesting plays. The Union Brewers, by virtue of thelr 6-1 win over the Hongkong Baseballers, kept their hold on tht league leadership, one full game ahead of the U. S. 5. Min- danao and Chinese Baseballers who won over the Recreio and South China outâts respectively.
The Club, with an experimental "ime up, did quite well to hold their powerful opponents to,a fye run margin and should have been even closer, for the poor support accorded Larry, Law- rence whose steady, work on the mound, held the Brewers to only two earned runs.
