FINALS ON SUNDAY

:

By "TIME OUT”

Age-old rivals Portugal and China once again will meet at King's Park for softball supremacy as the finals of the International Series come on for decision. Taking the limelight in this Sunday's softball thriller are the Portuguese and Chinese quarters as these two teams have battled their ways into the finals in both sections of the International Series.

The Ladies' clash is slated for 2.30 p.m. while the main feature, the Men's International final, commences at 4.00 p.m. This latter encounter should provide fans with thrills aplenty as the cream of local talent combine forces to renew their annual feud ut Eastertide,

It is now obvious from recent developments that the Football Re- ferees' Association in the Colony is not going to accept the recent quash- ing of charges against players without contesting every aspect of the legality of the matter.

To say that the referees are determined to press for satisfaction is to put the whole thing lightly. At a recent meeting, the officials showed a unanimity of pur- pose that may yet see QUASH making 10,000 miles double trip to the head- quarters of both the Football Association in England and FIFA in Europe.
