U.S. Navy's Charity Victory Prolongs Local Season
Local baseball's fortune-telling belle again crossed up Colony ball fans over the weekend to as high-lighted prolong the ball-playing season post loop games brought in plenty of that "moochy pecunia" to the barren league coffers. It was an "all-smiles" weekend for the local bali moguls after the head-on events of the league
season.
A red-hot playing ball nine bearing the mighty colours of a great China flashed across the Chatham Road ball yard with dazzling baseball, to annex the Mamak Shield and the International championship with an 11-3 win over the United States. Ski Powlawski came back with a tight twirling game in the opening of the Sunday doubleheader to halt the Colony All-Stars 7-3, in the third game of the Charity Series.
