I Kendalls Won Again Barring an earthquake, tornado or something along similar lines, the Kendalls Mill softballers seem to be penuant bound. The Hornets ran up against a determined and lighting Sinclair squad Wednesday night and won 3 to 1. The difference lo the teams figuring in a buttle was the matter of breaks. A misjudged fly ball In the Sinclair left garden allowed two Hornets to score . and It was the marble ?*r Another bad break came when Gaskin running from second to third on a nice single by oue of his mates ran smack into the bounding ball, retiring the side.
