The Colony's First Ever Softball Summer League Draws The Diehard Fans

By “GRANDSTAND”

Softball in summer, tried out for the first time on these shores, had its debut last week when the Overseas staged a last inning rally to triumph over the Ragg- mopps 5-3 before a flock of diehard fans on Wednesday evening.

Although the Association have given their approval to this League, the or- ganisation has been left in the hands of Ground official George Pang who has rounded up six enthusiastic outfits for a two-round series.

These games which commence at 9 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thurs- days and Fridays, will take up the slack period until the next season, by which time likely re- cruits to the Seniors would have been tested out.

Although the Raggmopps last the opener, rookie hurler Tony Rey in his Senior League debut had the satisfaction of limiting the victors to two scattered bingles.

EASY WINS FOR THE FAVOURITES IN THE "B" DIVISION

By

“ARGONAUT”.

Another full programme of Ladies' "B" and Men's "B" Division tennis lengue matches was successfully gone through yesterday,

Although the favourites in both divisions got com- forinbly through their games, some keen and 'cluso com- petition was seen among the Men's "B" teams.

Playing at Craigengower, Recreio, led by a three-gel win by their first pair of A..V. Remedies and A. Bayot, edged out the Valley Club's second string by five

Ave sets to four.

For the losers, Duster Wade of the Wade family from Shanghal and Ernie Perella were the most prominent combination, winning two of their sets with sparkling tennis.

NARROW VICTORY

At Tai Hang. A, S. Augestad and J. Leriou annexed all their three sets against the Chinese Recreation Club "2" to enable Kowloon Cricket Club win by the narrow score of 5-4.

Veteran Daniel Chen part- nered by youthfui David King again proved to be the mainstays of the CRC team, taking two sels and preventing a runaway victory for the visitors.
