Champion Receives His Prize
Wahoos Should Retain Unbeaten Record Tomorrow
By "SNOOPER"
Terry Noronha's six-time champions Wahoos "A", who came up with an overwhelming 14-3 run victory over Chev Tsoi's South China last week to consolidate their position in the Ladies' League circuit, are expected to keep up their unbeaten record against the Chinese Athletic Association in the feature game tomorrow.
In the other encounter, Benita Remedios' Collcens, who gained their third win against the Wahoos" "B". Inst Sunday, face Pearl Chan's much-improved Panday in what should appear to be a pitching duel between Dolly Norman and May Wu.
