SEVERAL CLOSE games will feature to-mor- row's 11-game schedule, and the Indian Softball Club-Cyclone tilt promises to be the most interest- ing, apart from settling a number of long-standing grudges. The Wildcats-Baby Panthers tussle will provide the excitement in the Ladies' league, with the former just being able to claw their way to vic- tory over the Pantherettes, who are by no means a neglible quantity in the pennant race,
