Charley Ryan's Knights of Col- umbus Juniors retained their City Baseball League title Sunday after- noon at the Memorial Field dia- mond when they defeated the Bad Maclxinis coached Vics 5-3 in an exciting Baseball game played be- fore a large crowd of fans.

Merlin "Red" MacKenzie and Al- lan "Junior" Maoleod hooked up in a pitcher's battle with is total of only nine hits being allowed during the game. Macxenzie was the victor as he fashioned a neat four-hitter against the Vics while walking one and whiffing nine batteirs. Mac- Leod allowed five hits in a losing cause while hitting two, walking one and striking out five.

The Vics opened the scoring in their half of the first inning when they tallied a run when Willis Hen- nessey was safe on an error. Glen Matheson, with two out, doubled him home when he blasted a Mac- Kenzie pitch into the left centre. The Knights tied matters up in the top half of the second inning on a hit batten: and a pair of singles.

The winners went to the front in the fifth inning when they tallied two counters on two errors, and a double and a fielder's choice. In the top half of the sixth they made the scoreboard read 5-1 when they added a brace of runs, which prov- ed to be the winning tallies, on an qr-ror, a hit, a. hit batter and a field- erls choice.

The Vics retaliated in their half of the same inning when they scor- ed a brace of (runs on taro singles, a pair of ii'elder's choices, a walk an an error. That ended the scoring r the game. Macxenzie pitched mast- erful ball in the last three and two- third innings when he set down the Vfcs in order.

Playing smart ball all season to win the regular schedule in the three-team loop. the K. of C. aggregation deserves a lot of credit and have certainly earned the title they have won two years handrunning. Much of the credit. however. goes to their coach Charley Ryan. The fact that Char- ley has done the masterminding that has crowned three City Jun- lor champions in as many years. proves that he has been a most important factor in their success. He piloted the Knights to the top twice, and three years ago was the guiding hand that put the 17th Reece squad on the City Junior baseb:ill.thron.e.

In their defeat, however, the Vics are not to be fDF80U9n- They played heads-up and gave the Knights the run of their l-ife for the league SChEdUlr: and also in the finals. Ending up in a two-way deadlock for first place in the regular schedule. the ivlcs forced the issue into an extra game to decide the schedule win- ner before the Knights finally -garnered the decision, giving them A bye playoffv position in the fin-

als.

The loss for Vics sent them into a semi-final best of three series against Kinsmen. who finished the tight three-team junior sched- ule in the trail position with only three games separating them them from the top team. It was a stout semi-final battle, and although the Vics took it in two straight games. the two teams met five times before the two games were decided.
