(By "GRANDSTAND”)

LIMITING THE RAMBLERETTES to five measly hits, Mary Louie registered another win for her squad when Canadian Chinese subdued Recreio, 15-8.

This just about clinches the championship and the Southard shield for the Canuckettes. Ten wins and one loss, so far. With the exception of the Wildcats, the "Canucks" should have easy sailing for the rest of the

season.
