By "Grandstand"

A GREAT SOFTBALL DISAPPOINTMENT WAS HANDED OUT TO THE JAMMED GRANDSTAND. OF SPECTATORS 'ON SUNDAY WHEN THE SAINTS WERE CRUSHED BY THE RECREIO ACES IN THE SENIOR LEAGUE OPENER ON SUNDAY.

It seemed that the Aces had their batting pants. on; not one of them, or two, or three of them, but the whole team. It was a fever, a contagion, as hits rattled off the Recreio bats, all the way down the line from first-sacker Nick Beltrao to hind-snatch- er. Charlie Figueiredo.

The Aces scored in every inning but the fifth, and in the sixth, eight runs crossed the plate, and only a double-killing halted the mayhem. Limited to only six measly bingles, the Saints Were massacred 15 to 1, and as one fan was heard to remark, "It's a good football

GOOD SOFTBALL IN MONDAY'S GAME

By ''Grandstand"

ON MONDAY, for the second day in succession, the stand was packed as enthusiasts flocked out to see some snappy softball dished out in the U.S. S. Tulsa-Hong Kong Baseba lers friendly tilt, in which, for the first time in local softball, a nine-inning game was played by agreement.

Timely, hitting by Joe Morris, who batted in two runs netting the Baseballers four tallies in the second stanza, stowed the game away on ice for them.

Chucker Edwards again went the route for the Baseballers and. struck out three, but he issued free transportation to first to four Tulsamen, whilst Norton, starting for the Mighty T. fanned one and passed one, whilst relief hurler Hansen passed one.

The Tulsamon operied the score on a single by Maxwell, who then pilfered second, reached third on a wild heave. and romped home on a wild pitch.
