Show qt n U'yv! f ; w ry At Conclusion of First Half By l Homer Trinnaman At the end of league play in the first half of the senior soft-ba- ll season, the pattern begins to emerge in regards to teams apt to earn tournament berths, unless, of course, we have some pretty good upsets in the second half of play. The Fourth Ward, with strong pitching and goal hitting, along with a generalteam, has to ly be rated at this time as the team most likely to win the championship. Second and third places are still up for grabs and several teams have the capability of coming through in the second half of play. ed BRAVES. ..Members of the Braves, Minor League Team, include Gail Keele, Gordon Wilson, Gary Adams, Phillip Green and Joseph Billock, kneeling 1. to r.

That is to make a better, moreinterestingprogram for our fans to watch. If we can't do this we are cheating those people and ourselves, in what they are paying for.
