The Red-hot Canadian Legion. the best team in the League at the moment, kept their phi!-011 hopes alive by vialloping the second place Bike Shop Wheelers 17-10.

At the same time out on the Parkdale Diamond the unpredict- able Parkdale Lions whipped their cousins the Sunshine Island Dairy 12-1 in the worst setback suffered the Dairy this year.

To add insult to injury the Lions handed pitcher Art Ballem his sec- ond defeat of the season and plac- ed him one game behind Henry Hm-i.mger in the race for the lead- ing pitcherls trophy.

The team who benefited must hv last night's games was the idle Canada Packers. The Dairy and the Packers are tied for first place with 30 points and both teams have one game to l'Jlal'- The Wheels ers are in second place with 28 points and two games left.
