WEEK-END SOFTBALL

CANADIANS UP AGAINST ST. THERESA'S IN CRUCIAL GAME

BY "STARDUST"

The Senior Loop pennant campaign romps into the final weeks before the advent of 1950 with a full programme slated for decision this week-end. Bill Woo's Canadians, defending champions, tangle with the up-and-coming St Theresa contingent in a crucial tussle that will have an important bearing on the prospects of both contestants. The Braves renew their grudge fight with their perennial foer, the Jaguars, but this time they play in the Senior Loop instead of the Junior Circuit where their rivalry was the highlight of many seasons,

Uncle Sam's "Salisbury Sound,” the highly touted outfit of the Navy, will have still another chance to garner their first local victory when they cross bats with_the Americans at noon tomorrow, In the Ladies' Circuit, the front-running Wahoos clash with the Wildcats In the second game of their annual series. The Owls whipped the Felines 8-2 in their initial encounter. A twin bill is featured this afternoon. The Rexes, who have swept their first eight games, will meet strong opposition in the Jaguars in the only Janfor Division fixture this week-end. St Theresa square off against the Clovers in the nightcap.

The Canadians have now won five of their eight games but have yet to meet the top teams of the loop. Their tussle with St Theresa will be their first game against the four leading teams. The Maple Leafs will play the USS "Sallsbury Sound," St Joseph's, Pandas, and the Braves in order. It is hardly probable that the Canucks can win all of their remaining games.
