FAIR SOFTBALL
FEUD FLAMING

Feuding is not confined to the
pine-clad hills of Tennessee. for
tomorrow's softie game between
the girls National All-Stars and
the U. s. Aggies is the culmina-
ton of a bitter feud that has
lasted for two long years on the
green al fresco diamonds of the
Mall.
At one time most of the ALL
Stars were members Of the Aggies
team. Last year they split up and
went independent. At the end of
the softball season, the All-Stars
challenged their former teammates
for the city championship and
gave them a royal trouncing.
Tomorrow afternoon at 2, pre-
ceding the mems Aggies' game
against DR.. Peppers softballers at
BallSton. the girls will have it out.
Two weeks ago Marge Wilson,
pitcher for the Aggies, held the
Park View team to a no hit night
game, her first of the season, at
the Ballston diamond, and her
teammates are praying for her to
repeat tomorrow.
The All-Star team, led by that
all-around player. Ann LieguS, is
long on hitting, and will give
Marge plenty of arm-work. The
Aggies have some decent hitters,
too, in First Basewoman Pat Haley
and her sister, Frances, at left
field. Jenny Mannix will be right
there at shortstop in case Marge
can't hold the hard-driving ALI
Stars down.
