"Ball Fan's" Baseball Notes

Dramatic Upsets In Baseball League

Larry Lawrence Stops Mindanao's Sequence

South China Beat Engineers

Climaxing a dramatic week of sensational baseball events, the local ball loop's two game weekend card sent the gashouse “know all" wise guys into deeper doldrums of daffy suspense. A sparse crowd of ball fans were given a real "Tur- kish Delight," when Mindanao's hot-favoured champions temporarily side-tracked the road to Pennantville, taking a 7-4 loss, as Larry Lawrence hurled brilliant ball to lead the marauding Mò- hawks to victory.

Completing the "programme of upsets,' South China's "down going" ball tossers switched on the "going up" green light, taking the Royal Engineers into camp, 8-7, for their first win of the year.
