SAINTS v. JAGUARS GAME

TOMORROW THE PICK OF THE WEEK-END

By "GRANDSTAND”

The week-end "A" Division softball game of the Senior League between the Saints.and the Jaguars will have an important bearing on the final standings as both teams are now deadlocked for the top spot, and the one to emerge triumphant by sundown tomorrow will be in a very strong position to grab the bunting for the season.

Sharing the spotlight with the Saints and Jaguars, the highlight of the Ladies' League programme will be the Wahoos-Squaws clash which will take place this afternoon at. 3.30 p.m., with the two pennant aspirants clashing in the third- round game of the series.

Several interesting games are on the card in the Junior League, the best of which will be the Delawares v. Pandas scuffle slated for midday tomorrow, in which both teams will be fighting to break the four-way tie for the runners-up slot,
