Disappointing Crowd At The Official Softball Opening

Match At

At King's

's Park

By "TIME OUT”“

A rather disappointing crowd witnessed the Hongkong Softball Association's official opening of the season at King's Park on Saturday, when Commissioner Don Robbins pitched the first ball to get this season's diamond activities underway,

In his speech before the exhibition game atagod, Commissioner Robbins com- mented on the poor turn out from fans but realised the competition received from other fields of sport, the Grand Air Display and the various social functions and stressed the importance of better support in future week-ends, us this year's Council members have promißed a brand of softball that will surpass

the poorly- contested games of the past.

The First Division Cricket League programme gol off to a start over the week-end without any very attrac® live cricket. Two of the matches which I did see had more spectators than the type of cricket served up merited. I understand that the other matches were not much better,

It was a particularly bad week-end for Army North, a team which started the season with two awful collapses. However, the team deserves some praise for keeping up to date with their programme. Postponed matches do not serve to enliven interest In the Cricket League.
