Vintage Play Served Up By Saints And Giants

(BY "SPECTATOR")

Last week's League games produced some fiery ball playing reminiscent of prewar days handed out by the star-studded St Joseph's who, however, after a brilliant start, cracked up to be defeated by the current ruling Giants. The count was three runs to two. Only one of the three other tilts scheduled was played. Joining the Saints in falling off almost allogether from the challenge to the Giants for Championship honours, Canadian Chinese tumbled to the popular Rovers 4-2. Wah and Hotshots having withdrawn from the League Chung competition, their fixtures against Baseball Club and Club de Recreio respectively were consequently can.
