, Manager Joe Akiyama of the Li'l Westerns (that's the name
coined by The New Canadian, by the way) has passed along some
pertinent facts about his charges. After losing their''.first seven
starts, they've won seven Out of ,1ft. They are closing in on third
./place, the last playoff berth. ,
Joe tells us that after a shaky start they are playing -good ball. Their pitching and fielding have been good, but their hitting has been weak. At the moment 1st baseman .Freddie tanaka who hit t\vo homers and a single in four attempts last Friday, leads the Westerns hitters with a .340 average. Sei.ii Takata has a .317 average, while Akio'Hayashi and AkiKoyanagi are both close to the '.:'>00 mark. �- . :: ' ' '��' '...--.. . :: , �' ;. ' �".;�" , . '��.�.�.-;

. Although WaliyYonajninewju handed his release by the San Francisco 49ers, the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast Tveague arc interested in him as a ballplayer. Sports observers feel, that Yonamine.Would be a good attraction when the Seals;travel to Japan this fall if they should decide to sign him. Yonamine is regarded as an outstanding Hawaiian baseball prospect.. �
The trouble with Yonamine, according to a sports writer, is that he tightens up and just can't seem to hold on to the ball. In an' inter; squad game, : he carried, the ball three times, fumbled twice, and 5Jjpped: the third time.

Westerns tied them 'with a similar rally on Koi Mitsui's homer but the winners added three more in the next inning while/the Niseis could only tally one counter in their Jialif, as O'Donnell of W^st Yorks kept them off the score sheet for the last two innings. . .J
Don Speir, shortstop for West j Yorks, proved to be a very sharj): thorn in the side of the Westerns i with .his homer, double and a, single.
