Saints Make No Mistake Against The Filipinos
By "Grandstand”
ALTHOUGH THE CYCLONES went down to the Hong Kong Baseballers 7-3, in the Senior Softball League night cap on Sunday, they gave the Mo- hawks some anxious moments and the score would have been much closer had it not been for bone-head base-running on the part of the Omarmen, espe- cially on two occasions when the runner on third was nailed at the plate on an attempted double steal, by a catcher to short-stop play.

For some reason or other, two of the three um- pires appointed by the League failed to make an ap- pearance, with the result that arbitrators had to be picked from the spectators, and these umpires did not always agree.
