CHINESE CLUB'S WIN

OVER ALL-STARS

Veterans' Good Show. But Losers Not Full Strength

(By R.O.Y.)

Any doubts, us to whether they could last out a hard fought seven nings battle" were quickly dispelled as the veterans held the All Stats scoreless, for the last four stanzas of the game, to run out easy winners.
