ONE - SIDED WEEK SOFTBALL FIXTURES V.R.C. Chinese Baseballers Disappoint BROWN'S

Indians Register Splendid Win

By "Grandstand”

ONE-SIDED AFFAIRS featured the week-end softball programme, the Chinese Baseballers prp- viding the most disappointing display, when the Indians inflicted a 12-2 trimming on them.

Kassa Nazarin, on the mound four-hitter, for his fifth consecu- for the Indian Chiefs, allowed the tive win. Liumen only five scattered hits, which only netted them two runs, whilst, on the other hand, 'clutch' hurler George White, pitching in the absence of regular Tuffy Chinn, was nicked for six safeties in 2-1/3 innings which cost his side markers, for the Indians to slow the game away.

Den Crary, relieving White, only handed out three measly singles, allowing the Omarmen one tally

for and hitting them out innings.

Yessir! Sunday was a for the Indians to how!!
