The Senior teams are serious in their effort to preserve the jealously guarded honour of their division, and have worked out an all-star alde which will include the cream of the US Navy, Warriors and Red Sox.

Fans who have watched the Junior League games know, too well that the Blackhawks, who have chalked up 15 consecutive victories, are not to be underrated, for even though they may not be able to solve the lightning pitches, they are fleet- footed when it comes to base-running.
