championship .sawoff. Sunday. II is
generally regarded that the Parish
League representatives, the st. Leo's,
viii not stand up very well before the
champions of the older leagues but the
dope in baseball does not work out
always according to Hoyle, and any
r.thing may happen. The Elks are
rather IN against it as both their
spitchers worked Saturday.
