THE ST. JOSEPH'S-INDIAN Softballers and the Chinese Baseballers-Cyclones Senior Softball League scheduled games have been postponed as most of the players will be out on Volunteer camp training during the week-end, but the Recreio- Filipinos tilt will be played off according to pro-

gramme.

In place of the two postponed | Remes, the Chinese Baseballers will meet the Canarlian Clunese.

Although the Junior and Inter- Hong schedules have been emn- pleted, with the exemption of few postponed games, these out- standing games, which were on- ginally intended to be played off i a the end at the fixture, will be delayed for another week for the the Si me reasobi,

Denham Crary, fist-ball chuck- er for the Liumen, will probably start on the mound, with Nip Lun taking cutching duties. The in- fielders will be Tommy Chan at first. "Crooner' Ruel at second, with George White in the windy alley. The hot-corner will be held by Howard Lee, whose perfect fielding average was spoiled last week. Lee formerly held the left- field position for the team.

Aces Should Win

The Recreio Aces should have no difficulty in taking the Fili- pinos in the night-cap, in spite of their

disappointing display a fortnight ago, when only a last- inning rally staved of defeat at the hands of the Chinese Base- ballers. Johnnie Alvares will pro- bably toil on the slab for the Aces with Charlie Figueiredo be- hind the batter. Nick Beltrão will hold the initial station with Caco Morques at the keystone position, whilst Bertie Gosano will take third. The short-stop gap is still open. in the absence of Tony "Pécwea" Alves, and it is likely that mentor Riri Noronha will rope in a couple of Second Divi- sion players to complete the team. Battery for the Islanders, will be Tatong Amper and Bob Laurel.

The Averages

The lead in the senior League batting averages is now held by Cyclone Bakar as a result of his brilliant three-in-three, against the Mohawks. last week, and also through Indian second-sacker "Baby" Abbas' inability to come through with a safety, in four bat- ting chances.

Baltar's 464 is closely threaten- ed by Eddie "Doctor" Gosano's 462, whilst Dave (Bambino) Leo- nard is right behind Gösano with ,459. - The other players to bat over,..400 ara "Baby" Abbas, 444; Tommy Chan, 423; and Zinlo Gosang 400.

Slab artiste Mary Ng will pro- bably toe the rubber for the Maple Leafs as Coach Bill Woo

is not taking any chances with the pen- nant in sight. Dot Louie will be as usual, behind the plate, with Rene Yuen, Ulian Khoo, Alice Mar as the base- and Mabel Louie guard,ans.

Although Panther coach Gussie Noronha is finding difficulty in getting full turnouts at pract ees he is confident hurler Lelia "La- la" Xavier will be able to hold down the Canuckettes,

Theresa Marques, who has been taking a rest in the telt garden since she split her hand some time ago, will be seen in her old posi- tion hindsnatching.

The Line-Up

After careful consideration, coach Noronha has decided on the

following line-up: Team captain will hold the Celeste Marques initial sack, with Thelma "Peanut Marques keeping the keystone sack. Alec Mendonca has been switched from the hot-corner to the short-stop gap. whilst Itegina Xavier will guard the far turn. Rookie

Ribeiro, having Patsy proved her worth, will be seen in the left field, with Hilda "Bam- bina" Soares and Theresita Botelho in the centre and right gardens re- spectively.

The Cardinals need not go all out to take the verdict from the Little Flowers when they tangle at 9.30 a.nf. in the opener.
