Today's game, which will be handled by Foochle. Chase, Wilson and Dave Leonard, is expected to decide this year's wooden spoonists, as neither the Southern Chinese nor the Sappers are conceded the ghost of a chance against any of the other contenders.

"Poochie" Chase has not indicated whence his replace- ments are likely to come, but fans can be sure that the Mindanao will be plenty strong enough to give the Chung Hwa boys all kinds of trouble.

Still, it would be a game guy, or a foolish one, who would offer any definite opinion on what is likely to be seen when the smoke of battle clears away. That's how close the game should be, and um- pires "Doc" Molthen, in the pad- ded vest, Hal Wing Lee and Dave Walker on the bases, will have their work cut out to avoid the spectators' backhanded compli ments.
