Predicts Softball Champ Sériés Will Be Thrown Ini Claims Lino fio Castn Will Return To Form; Lead- ing Plumbérs Ready To Grab Second Game Pepper's Plumbers, conquerors of the NayStas’ Lino Castro last | week for the first timed this sea- | son, will try it again tonight. at Bayview Park in,the second game of a series for the city diamond-: ball loop’s first-half champion- ship. Castro, Plumbers in knots every time, he faced them before, blew up Fri- day to permit seven hits, nine bases on balls and 11 runs, _ two, more runs than the total he had allowed in three previous games. However, all of the runs were not scored on base hits. Anthony Kelly, shortstop, let three home with a bullet toss that careened off the second baseman’s glove and rolled into deep right. Tonight, weather . permitting and with his line-up once more complete, NavSta Manager Bob Reid prediets his squad will re- turn to its winning ways by re- asserting the old jinx that whip- ped the Plumbers in three of out four previous tilts, Three-Out-Of-Five After debating whether to shorten the series to two-out-of- three games, managers last week decided to make it three out of five. This the Plumbers, with their star “Cigarette Willie’ Gates on the mound again, can put them- selves in a commanding position tonight, but cannot win the loop crown. Army, winner over Navy by a 19-3 score Friday night, will meet the Sailors again tonight in the first game of a double’ bill. Navy won the first scrap of their exhibition series, 16-15. Friday's Game Listless Both Castro and Gates ran into trouble from the first night, with many errors of omis- sion and commission on both sides in the listless match. Three of the best NavSta play- ers sat‘on the sidelines as their’ team lost. One, Julio Barcelo, first baseman, was recovering! from a bad cold, while another, Mario Hernandez, was out with an injured leg. George Solomon has not played with the this season, The Plumbers, minus the serv- ices of Second Baseman Gabriel Lastres and Douglas McCarthy, shortfielder, who is on a honey- moon, were Yorced to call on Leo Stanley, a veteran outfielder. Stanley, a .400 hitter, obtained his rélease from thé Barbers be- | fore they quit the league. SPORTS CALE! CALENDAR BASEBALL (MAJOR LEAGUES) Ai can Washington at | Philadelphia, night game.
