SPORTS FRONT

By CARMAN SMITH

Danny is Happy Mon

Coach Danny Maccormack is a happy man today following , his Canadian Tire team's deciding victory over National Park All-Stars for the City Softball League title and it couldn't bap- pen to a nicer fellow. _

This was the thiid straight City title captured by Daninys team. In 1960 playing under the name of Junior BYC. the team went all the way to the Maritime crown _We cov.=.-red both the semi-finals in Halifax and the finals in Saint John and it stands out in our mind as the best softball we've seen since we started on the sports beat five years ago.

The largest crowd of the season turned out for the deciding tilt last night and we are positive that there were well over 500 fans at the game.

We know of only one other game, either baseball or softball.

where there were more fans, and that was the mg the Kings County All-Stars played Seniors at Memorial Field. Early this season there was a rumor around that Danny was

retiring ‘mm softball but apparently be changed his mind be- cause when the season got underway Col. Maccormack was back at his old stand.

THE PISTONS bad to do it the hard way. They finished in third place in the league standings and then tangled with BIS Shamrocks in a best of seven semi-finals set. The Irish were considered by many fans as the team to beat this V0311‘ despite the fart that they finished in second place behind National Park All Stars. The Pistons put the Shamrocks on the sidelines and then had to battle up-hill all the way against the Park.

ast Saturday afternoon Danny watched his team play their most horrible game of the season. committing nine costly errors and bowing to the Park by a 7-1 score. Apparently it was a good ea to get this bad one out of their system because they played outstanding ball in winning the next two games.

Last evening The Canadian Tire coach found himself with- out a catcher because his regular receiver, Charlie Smith, was obliged to leave for the province of Quebec. where he has ac- cepted a teaching position.

Danny couldn't dig too deep into the reserves because he has only ten players signed. or rather, eleven. counting him- self. He sent Billy Mulligan, the blond-thatched pepperpot be- hind the plate and although he had a few shaky moments. Mulli- gan gave a steady ‘performance behind the plate. We've seen Mulligan play every position except first base and on the mound nliitLll;e has shown that he is a good man to have around in the cu .

Mike and John Hughes had olayed with the Pistons last year and Vince Bradley had been with the Lions but the remainder were of unknown ‘ o-Iallty.
