ENGLISH FORUM LEAD IN SOFTBALL

Matty Chang In Deadly Form

16 PLAYERS ROUTED

FROM MOUND

C.B.A. LACKING IN PRACTICE SOFTBALL enthusiasts, over the week-end saw three interesting matches played in which the English Forum became the undisputed leaders of the League through their defeat of the Machine Gunners by 2-runs to nil.

The Vets, now in second place, took the Canadian Chinese to town in a ding-dong battle that lasted through ten innings. In the ninth inning the score was tied at 4-4, but in a rousing extra stanza, the Vets accumulated three runs to take the game from the Canadian Chinese. There was only home run scored in this game, by Bill Woo, the star of the Canadian Chinese.

Matty Chang, pitching in big shade. Rooters for the Canadian league form, struck out 16 men Chinese were there in full force. and only allowed one base on and the team graced the field in balls and four scattered hits. In the first uniforms to be worn by this early stage of the series it any Club in the League. is not safe to predict how far the Detailed box scores: Vets will go, but present indica- tions show that they are a form-
