PANDAS ASSURED OF JUNIOR LEAGUE RUNNERS-UP BERTH

By OLLY VAS

The Pandas assured themselves of the runners-up position in the Junior softball league when they beat the Indians 19-10 on Saturday, Yesterday, the Indians lost again, this time by 8-9 to the Cheyennes, and the Cardinals triumphed 9-7 over the Giants.

No Senior games were played off as both SCAA and the Pandas gave walkovers to the U.S. Navy and the Cheyennes respectively. In the latter instance Bye-Law 14, which says "Any team unable to fleld a full team 15 minutes after the Umpire has given notice shall forfeit the game to the opposing team" was applied but plate umpire Bill Silva failed to give any notice to the Pandas.
