Orca Push The

Braves Out

By “SNOOPER”

Of

Race

There was better teamwork, brighter ideas, improved handling and more determination in finishing in the USS Orca outfit when the gobs licked Ed Carvalho's champion Braves by 7-1 in the feature Senior “A”, tussle before a capacity crowd yesterday.

I make no excuses for having underestimated the Orca ballplayers when I predicted that the Braves would beat them in last Saturday's column. The Orca softballers were superior in every phase of the game yesterday and on that show- ing they could have beaten any team in the Colony.

Recreio Throw Open The Cricket League Race

By "THE ZOMBIE”

Another week-end of attractive Cricket League matches brought top honours to Club de Recreio who not only lived up to their reputation by scoring a repeat win over League-leading Army in the Senior Division, but also threw open the race for the Senior Championship.

With eight matches each atili to go, at least three teams-Scorpions, Recreio and Optimiste-have a more than possible chance of overtaking Army by the time the last match has been played.
