      YARDBIRD
         By YOSH  FUJITA
QUEEN TWIRLER
   Regarded around sports
circles  as queen of soft-
-ball hurlers, Shinobu Kuni-
moto of the Sepol Rambler-
ettes blinds the opponents
with her dazzling fast ball.
By shutting out the Hay-
seeds, 11-0, Saturday, she
turned  in a remarkable per-
formance,  especially in
femme softball.    Behind
the plate is sister,  Ayone,
forming the best girl bat-
tery in camp.
LINE  DRIVES
   Nob Kuwatani, ace Echo
catcher   (A league),   has
smacked the horsehide safely
seven times in eight trips
to the plate in two games.
He boasts an average of
.875.   Nob cleaned the bases
twice  against the Granders
Saturday  afternoon and went
on to have a perfect day
with the hickory.
CATCH OF THE WEEK
   This week, mention is
given  Wahoo Nob  Kurita,
who made a running shoe-
lace catch of Deltan Harry
Shironaka's  Texas   leaguer
into short left field,
robbing Harry of what seemed
to be a sure single.
PLAY  FAIR
   Recently the Block league
managers adopted a ruling
barring AA pitchers to per-
form for their block teams.
If the league is going to
allow other AA players to
play their regular posi-
tions, why not the pitchers
also?    Such a ruling should
be abolished.
CHATTER
   Books on coaching and
playing of nearly all sports
are now available at the
high  school   library.

DODGERS  CLAW  DUSTERS, 8-1;
WAHOOS  MOVE  INTO  AA LEAD
   Led by speedy Fred Kishi,
the Dodgers snapped out of
their   recent   batting slump
by pounding out an  8-1 win
over the Dusters, Sunday
afternoon at the 9K diamond.
Kishi collected four hits
in four attempts to enjoy
a  perfect day at the  plate.
   In the fatal third, two
costly Dusters errors, a
free pass, and singles by
Kishi and Ken Ohki, helped
the Dodgers push across
five runs and lead, by a
score of 5-1.   The lone
Duster tally came in the
initial inning on two Dodg-
er  errors and a single by
Sat Uyekubo.
   Turning in a three-hit
performance,   Romeo  Kita -
gawa checked the opponents
after  the   first   inning.
   Behind relief hurler
Shig Fukuyama, the Wahoos
walked away from the Del-
tans 12-4 in the crucial
game of the afternoon play-
ed at the 9K field.    Re-
lieving Tad Mukaihata, who
injured his pitching arm
in the opening   inning,
Shig,  with his "change of
pace",  baffled the Deltans
and held them to three
blows, and he issued only
one  pass.
   His teammates gathered
14 walks and seven bingos
for 12 runs and moved into
first place in the fast AA
league.    Mas Okuda, Joe
Fujimitsu and Yas Hara pa-
raded to the mound for the
Deltans.
