The Junior Gremlins are the kindest team in the League. They haven't driven anybody to tears. They have lots of goals scored against them and they accept them cheerfully and bring the ball out for another bully- off.

Rather, that has been their policy up to Christinas. They have already made their New Year resolution. They are going to be more Gremlinish in future and it will not be easy to score goals against them. They have also held a conference and one of the girls has been persuaded to score a goal.

They are, as they line up:

After several weeks of dull Senior League softball games, fans will be treat- ed to some real knockdown dragout affairs this weekend as Pandas challenge the League supremacy of the Braves in the Blue section in a second round showdown at 2 p.m., while Madcaps clash with surging pennant-struck South China at 3.30 p.m. tomorrow,

In the Junior League, a needle tilt is down for decision as the Dragons, still amarting under the bitterness of a previous last inning noseout, encounter the Rexes with the avowed intention of squaring accounts when they meet at midday tomorrow.
