Saints Play S. China & Overseas Meet Pandas

BY “GRANDSTAND”

By a freak coincidence in the Senior League softball schedule this week's regular programme will feature two skirmishes in which all the four teams tied for second place in the current league standings of the Blue and Gold sections will participate.

After being inactive on the diamond for almost n month, St. Joseph's make a re-appearance to battle a de- termined South China nine, while the Overseas wage war: on the Pandas in an all-Chinese classic.

The Ladies' League fixtures are not expected to furnish the usual thrills this week, but nevertheless, the games will be well attended by fans who will trek all the way up to King's Park to watch the frolicking femmes.

Never was a finer exhibition of basketball seen in this Colony than when the Oakland Blue & Gold Nug- gels were here earlier this week. In this game, against the Colony Champions, Chineso YMCA, Don Barksdale does a low dribble past two YMCA defenders, Ho Lap- tak (No. 12) and Ng Yuet-on (No. 9).
