Lost Their Shirts

Someone has got a of freshly laundered shirts, shorts and socks but no-one to wear them: the Rangers soccer club has a full team of players very anxious to slip into the uniforms before today’s O’Brien’s tournament match against Shamrock. “I wish we could get together,” said the club secretary, Mr E. Adam yesterday. “Whoever has the gear might be able to use the socks for gardening, but what would he do with a dozen white shirts trimmed with blue and a dozen pair of blue shorts with white stripes down the sides?” The carton filled with the Rangers club’s newlylaundered uniforms was taken from the Star and Garter Hotel in Barba-

does street, where it was left on the bar to be

picked up by a club member. “We’ve advertised for their return without any luck,”

said Mr Adam. “The team is playing in our second strip but we hate to think of ail those Clean shirts,. shorts and socks, worth between £5O and £6O, going to waste. “We have been watching the news columns in “The Press” in case it was reported that someone was starting a new club. That might have given us a

clue. But nothing has appeared. "Probably the person who has the carton is stuck with what to do with all the gear he has suddenly accumulated. He could give it back, and then we will all be happy again.”
