Football Has To Stay In Britain

Says PETER DITTON

Sixty-six thousand prople cannot be wrong That was the number lucky enouch to gain admission to Highbury Stadium on a Wednesday evening for the floodlit match between Arsenal and Glasgow Rangers. At least another 20,000 were locked outside and they had to wait until the following morning to read in the papers that Arsenal had won by three goals to two.

Make no mistake about it. This floodlit football is not freak, liable to catch the public eye and then fade inte obscurity. Soccer by Roodlight will be almost certainly a regular feature of English football-and possibly Scottish-in another

PITCHING PERFORMANCE BRAATHENS

By "GRANDSTAND"

A great pitching performance, such as Hongkong had never seen before, was registered by Sam Howard of the USS Everett, representing the US Navy in the Senior “B” Division of the Softball League, when he fanned 18 of the 30 Warrior batters to face him in

a scoreless game which was called off on account of darkness.

This perfect performance did not even allow any of the opposition to reach first base in an errorless display, and overshadowed even the brilliant triumph of the Madcaps over the Braves by a 4-1 count and Jaguars' overwhelming 9-1 vic- tory over the Overseas Chinese,

In the Junior League, the Griffins-the Wildfires scuffle was also called oft after the ninth chapter as neither side could break up a 6-all deadlock, while both Delawares and Blackhawks managed to protect their undefeated joint-leadership in the minor circuit.

The Ladies' Lague, however, jured during a hockey game in pilfered third base and tallied resulted in lop-rided scores being he morning. Billy Soares took when hurler Osborne uncorked a registered, with the Squaws over the third-base assignment wild pitch. The side was retired shellacking the Pool To girls and Jose "Doc" Guterres filled in order after that but the 27 while the Wahoos white-the vacant gap on the right of damage had been done as the washed South China 14-0, the keystone sack.

MADCAPS 4-BRAVES 1

Braves suffered her second successive defeat of the season when they bowed belore Madcaps 4-1, both sides sharing a total of six safe-blows, but the Madcap safeties counted in the clutch.

This last defeat of the Braves leaves the title-holders in the lower bracket of the league standings, where they are just one-game ahead of the tailend Canucks who have you to notch up a win.
