By "TIME OUT”

Once again your softball scribe is forced to eat humble pic as quite contrary to expectations two upsets highlighted the week-end games at King's Park. I doff my cap in sweeping salutes, firstly to the "John Bulls“ of the local diamond, the indomitable Austers of Shatin who sweated out a 10-9 victory fixturo and over the War Eagles in a Junior League secondly to the gobs of the USS "Gurko”” who shut-out the powerful and favoured PI Dodgers 6-0 in a Sanior League game yesterday. Congratulations also go to the Athletics' Olive Yuen who tossed her side to a 23-0 victory over the Overseas girls, facing only 15 batters in her live-inning stretch on the mound and let us not forget the Hongkong University lads who though losing to the Seminoles 14-0 never gave up trying to score a face-saving run to avoid a shut-out, Fans were let down no end The biggest shock of the day | centre-field when the Pandas played truants however was reserved for the at game time and being short n benefit of Fred Diesta's Dodgers man had to forfeit their Senior in the Sunday morning Senior League game.

The Eagles trailed by 2 runs in the 5thing but Cooper's boys managed to brent the D-all deadlock in the bottom of the seventh win the game.

Both sides played cautiously in the first three innings with the result that neither side could make

any headway and the scoreboard recorded a succession of zeroes until the Navy got going in the top of the fourth. In this inning the Navy opened the scoring when Pinkney worked Mallg for a free elect to first and when Tilford banged out a double to left-field, the Dodgers gardener "Gato" Remedios sud- denly became all thumbs.

Full of confidened, Vadibl kept puzzling the Dodgers with his tricky pitching and in last three innings, from bottom of the fifth to the end of the reventh, only nine Dodger ballers faced Vidibili and went down in one-two- three order, The Navy (dded on Insurance run through Bennet in the top of the sixth 10 put the game on

The form of the US Navy WELS revelation after last week's poor showing against the Warriors and

the "Gurke" xemains in town for the next few weeks and the gobs dish up the type of soft- ball that made them such worthy winners over 'the Dodgers they will ring up mony more victories.

For the US Navy Vlidibill with

his 2-hi pitching and Lare for his 2-in-4 batting effort were outstanding, but team-work ployed an impor- lent part in the Navy victory.

For the Dodgers, Mallg tried very hard but the main reason for their defeat lay in their ever-anxity to swing and is crimmaty at every pifch com- Ing their WLY when a litle patience might have paid divi- dends,
