Week-end Softball

Due to the postponement of two Senior “A” Division games, only five Softball League matches are slated for this Sunday. The only Senior contest will be between the Americans and Overseas in the Senior Division. P. I. Dodgers and CAA Juniors will meet each other to decide who goes into the Junior League play-off series.

In the Ladies' qualifying rounds, ex-Champion Wahoos Aces will met Colleen Bees in a double-header. Pennant-holding Colleen Aces will clash with the rookie Overseas Indios and CAA Ladies will cross bats with the Pandarettes,

The Americans now have all their players roturned from other ports and are fully equipped for their remaining two games in the League programme. They showed good form last week in slaughtering the University In what was almost a shutout. They are expected to do the some to- morrow to the young Overseas.
