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.

I cure enough players to put complete teams oil the field and In many in- < stances the traveling has been tough.
