Week-end Baseball

At Caroline Hill Softball Still Going Strong (By "BALL FAN”)

TULSA'S mighty rip-roaring diamond aces, dead-set favourites to cop the Colony baseball pennant this coming season, and the hottest team so far in this year's southern balmy spring training sessions, will be out to cash in with two more pre-season exhibition wins as they tackle Flatbush "hot potato" Hamelin's Royal Engineers at 2.30 p.m. this afternoon, and head into a tough tussle with the H.B. Browers to-morrow morning at 10 a.m. Both games have been carded for the Caroline Hill sand dunės.

Girls softball nines are booked to 'hold off-season "pow wow" games as Dave "Dixie" Walker's redbird Cardinals saunter across the bay and up the heights for a "big ́affair" with the rookie Truelight students at their Stubbs Rond ball park this afternoon at 4 p.m.
