Week-end Softball

THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON THE MADCAPS-ST. TERESA'S

MEETING

TOMORROW

BY "STARDUST"

Good softball fare should be seen this week-end at King's Park with a programme of 11-games scheduled. The 11-games will all be close fights. There will be three Men's Senior League tilts, five in the Men's Junior Loop and three in the Ladies' circuit.

Sun- The spotlight is focused on the Madcaps-St Teresa's encounter on day afternoon at 2.30 p.m. sharp and fans can be assured of a photo-finish these two teams cross bats. The best game in the Ladies' division will be the Canuckettes-Pirates fracas this afternoon at 4 p.m.

The Merry Mndcaps, under the management of Buster Hollands, have been holding regular pre-season workouts and are rarin' to go. They have a new bat- tery combination in Kelly Silva-Netto and ex-Jaguars back-stopper Frankie "Samba" Corren. These two will most probably bear the brunt of the Madcaps' defence for the current season.
