Aircraflsmen were certainly de- serving of their three straight vic- tory in the finals of the City Soft- ball League. All through the series that was fully expected to go five games the Airmen played steadier pail and hit harder in the pinches.

. a .

Off their stride in their semi- finals series against the All Stars. whlcli they won in two straight games. the Air Force team certain- ly regained the form that made tiiein runners-up to the Officers in the regular league standing.

All through their series with the Navy illEy snowed tiie same near errorless brand of boll that niark- ed them as logical contenders for the league title. Navy, themselves were a smart ball team but they

could not cope with the hurling‘

and battfg display put on by the sotlad from the local Air Force school.

- . .

Btlt at that the Navy team de- serves loads of credit for the show- ing they lnade. Two weeks before the regular schedule ended it was very doubtful if the “tars" would even mako l Dlayofi position.

MONTREAL, Aug. 29 —— ICPl ~ A scheduled IO-round boxing bout

Btit the addition of Mowatt ap- parently nande the world of diifer-.

ehce in the play of the team rep-‘

resenting Queen Charlotte. They. got into the Playoffs by the skin of their teeth; down one game to the iilcers team, who had led the league since the start of the season, Navy after dropping the first game came back to win the hext two and a place in the finals. l . l.

The maiority of the fans still are of the opinion that the Navy team were lucky in displacing the Officers squad. But it all boils down to the fact that the “tars" never knew when they were beaten. They proved that when they came through in the ninth inning to tie

between Dave Castilloux, Canadian welterweight champion, and San- tiavo Sosa, champion of Panama and Cuba. was postponed tonight because of bad weather. It will be staged tomorrow night.

That they were beaten three straight games in the finals does] not detract any from their ability.‘ In each and every game of the three played Navy fought hard all‘ the way. They were at a high ten-, sion in each and every game and errors at critical times proved their undoing.‘ .

.

But the playoffs for the City League title gave sofpball fans a. glimpse of what this game could really produce in the way of sparkling fleldi plays and bat- ting in the pinc es. That's where the Aircraftsmen really hit the payoff dirt. In their three games against the Navy they invariably came through with timely hits with men crowding the sucks that led to runs that proved the difference between victory and defeat.

. . .

Now one of the hottest softball leagues that has been contested locally is over. The new league champions. Aircraftsmen. deserve their victory every inch of the way and they proVed worthy successors to last year's champions. the City All Stars.

a

Biggest {disappointment of the season proved to be the City All stars. Practically composed of the same squad that went through _the league schedule last season with- out a defeat the All Stars were lucky w gain a playoff spot this year.

In their semi-final series against the new league champions. the Aircraftsmen, they proved futile both at bat and in the field. Errors, which had played a prominent

art in their games in the regular league schedule again came to the fore and were s big factor in their straight-game elimination by the Air Force squad.

. - .

Biggest upset of the league was the Navy team. Right up to the last week cf regular play they were still battling for a playoff position. They made the grade. the hard way. b a surprising win over the favor Officers team; that they went out in three straight games in the finals was due not to their inability but to the fine form showed by the ultimate title win- ners.

o - s

Biggest surprise of the lea ue was the elimination of the O ic- crs team by the Navy Squad. Navy were given little chance against the team that led the league from the start of the season. But with both teams fighting right to the last pitch it remained for the Navy to take fu-l advantage of the breaks in the ninth inning of the third game that tied the score and Xnhlv led to their victory.
