THE GAME TO WATCH
BY "STARDUST"
The 1950/51 Softball Season will get into full swing this week- end. An 11-game card is down for decision. Two crucial tilts feature the Men's Senior League on Sunday when St Joseph's take on the Jaguars at 11.30 ́a.m. and Canucks tangle with the Pandas at 2.30 p.m.
The best fussle in the Junior League should come from the Blackhawks. last year's Junior Champions and holders of the Ernie Hearther Shield, clashing with the Aces. The spotlight in the Ladley Loop will be on the meeting of the old rivals of the Junior League - the Squaws and the Clovers.
The St Joseph's-Jaguars fracas should be the game to watch. Saints' pilot Artur "Lil' Mite" Ozorio will be fielding his strongest combination in order to secure a victory to start off this season's hot pennant race within the Men's Senior division.

MORE SUPPORT IN ENGLAND FOR SUNDAY CRICKET
SAYS JOHN MACADAM
· As England's cricketing boys and girls relire. rather hurt, to the less spectacular business of olling bats and reverently putting away their flannels with mothballs, the tendency is to talk cricket even more than they do in the course of the season, which adde up to a great deal of talk.
It is an easily observed fact that cricket enthu siasts, whether players or spectators, tend to talk more about their game than the partisans of any other sport in Britain, with the exception of Scottish foot- bull.
