ment issued to them at the

   Managers are urged to
cooperate in this respect

BEAT ECHOES, 10-3,
IN PLAYOFF TILT
   It was youth against ex-
perience Thursday evening
as the veteran Knine team
slaughtered the younger
Echoes, 10-3, and copped the
A league softball champion-
ship at the 10F diamond be-
fore  a near-record  crowd.
   Both teams had ended their
season play with one defeat.
   In the first inning, the
Knines, taking advantage of
four Echo errors, sent a-
cross two runs in quick
succession.  Then with the
bags loaded, Mako Oi wal-
loped a terrific homer in-
to deep centerfield.  This
six-run spree was enough
to keep the Knines out of
hot water for the remainder
of  the   contest.
   The Echoes found trouble
in hitting the deliveries
of George Takaoka until the
fourth frame when they sent
across two runs, and fol-
lowed with two more in the
next  inning.
   Hitting stars of the day
were Knine Egg Igasaki with
2 for 2, and Echo Joe Shi-
ro with 2 for 3, including
a  double.
   Score  by  innings:
Knines     620  110   0 -  10  9  3
Echoes    000   720   0 -    3  7  7
   BATTERIES:   Knines- -G.
Takaoka and J. Harada; Ech-
