Taiwan Blue Eagles Succumb To Portugal's Heavy Bombardment

THE CHINA MAIL, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1955.

MEDAL FOR - GALLANTRY

The Taiwan Blue Eagles succumbed to Portugal's heavy bombard- ment to lose 10-17 before a packed crowd at King's Park yesterday. Local pitcher Vic Pedruco was in top form, holding the Taiwan players to only two hits, and won the game 15-2 during his 3-inning performance. Cuscus Souza batted 100 per cent (4 in 4) and accounted for five RBI while Tony and Manuel Guterres slugged .666 (2 in 3) and 500 (1. in 2) respectively The latter bagged a three-run homer which climaxed the early onslaught of the Portugal contingent.

The Eagles seemed shaky at the start and retired to bench quickly. When they took the field, they were rather erroneous and against a feeble slabster the Portuguese boys hit as they wished and collected no less than six runs before the side was out.

During the second the visitors went out one, two, three and again the local softballers were on the run. They loaded the bases after one down).

and the fielding side changed the pitcher. But the relief moundsman could not stem the wave of at- tack by the Portugal players.
