GRANADA -AMACHE
GIRLS’ TILT SET
   The Amache Girls' All-
Star Softball teamwill play
the Granada Girls in a re-
turn match at the local
10F diamond Sunday evening
at 6 o'clock.
   In their first meeting
the  locals trounced the
Granada girls by a lopsided
12-5 count.
   Led by the sister bat-
tery of Shinobu and Ayame
Kunimoto, the local nine
is expected to make it two
in a row.
CORRECTION
   In the last issue, it
was erroneously reported,
that Knine George Matsu-
ura copped  the AA batting
crown with an average of
.522, getting 12 hits in
23 tries.
  Following a  double
check it was found that
his average was .364 for
the season.   He garnered
12  hits in 33 times.
   This put Deltan George
Watanabe in the top spot
with .482, and Knine Yuk
Miyamoto in the runner-up
position with .475.
   Our apologies for the
mistake. --Sports editor
