BANKS SHINE IN INTER-HONG LEAGUE

(By GRAND STAND) Last Sunday the Filipino girls were outclassed by the strong Wildcats clan 19-6 in their Lea- gue Softball clash. It was a one- sided game with the Wildcats having their own way with the bat and base-running.

Babida started pitching for the Southern gals, but was erratic in the first canto, allowing the Wild- cats four hits, one walk and six

runs.

Fausta Demanlig took over the assignment in the second frame, but to no avail. The Wildcats were on a hitting spree and no twirler could have stopped them.
