Says "SNOOPER”

The power of Frank Poon's Chinese Athletic Association, twice con. querors of Jackie Wei's Pandas, can be traced to their superb infield play, and in a quest for the Senior "A" Pennant for the first time they will treat the Sunday feature softball game against Jindoo Hussain's front- running Saints with all the seriousness of a Cup Final.

The setbacks sustained by both Ed Carvalho's champion Braves to the USS Orca and Wel's Pandas to the CAA a fortnight ago have rocketed the Saints and the CAA's prospects for the Pennant. The Saints are currently a game ahead of the CAA and with their outfield position al sense having improved these past weeks, they are favoured to beat the Chinese ball players.

As individuals, the CAA are not quite the equal of the Saints; In the batting department the Chinese are little weaker. Whereas the Saints' batters have revealed power behind her bals, the CAA's one aim seems to be in bunting and getting the ball between frst and second as quickly as possible.

It will be vital game for the Chinese Athletic Association to- morrow, and if they are beaten, they are likely to throw over- board much of their prospects in the quest for the Senlor Pennant.
