RECREIO JUNIORS DO QUITE WELL
(By "GRANDSTAND”)
Contrary to expectations Recreio Aces did not have such an easy time in subdu- ing their Juniors, 7-4, in the second game of the double: header.
Johnny Alvares was not so impres-· sive on the mound for the Aces, walk- ing four with nary a strike out. The rambling Aces were only able to find- Jackie Noronha for eight blows in-- cluding a
triple by Lino Gosano.. Jackie fanned two and gave no passes to first.
The Junior Recs collected four hits off Johnny Alvares the longest of which was a Ruthian Clout by Jackie. Noronha in the fifth frame.
The Recreio Champs had some an- xious moments holding the Bees down and it was not until the sixth inning that the game looked safe for the Aces ́ when the score stood 7-4.
Recreio seniors were first to score,.. with one tally in the first inning. The Bees replied with one count in the same frame to even the count 1-1. The Aces pushed across two more runs in the third, while the Bees were blanked for three innings.
In the fourth Recreio "A" counted with two more runs and the Juniors. replied with two in the fifth to make · the score 5-3 in favour of the Aces.. Two more runs in the last canto put the game on ice. for the rambling Champs.

Mary and Lolly were steady enough on the mound, walking only one-apiece, but the big Berthas of the Canadian side showed them no mercy with the hickory...
Mary Loule was on the firing, line for C.C.C. for five innings. During her tenure she fanned four and passed three. Relieve flinger Alice Ma took over the assignment in the sixth when the game was in the bag and whiffed - one and walked one.
When runs were no longer needed for victory, Mabel Loule rapped a cir-- cuit clout, when bases were loaded in the last stanza, for one of the longest- hits of the fray.
