 Legion Team Wins One
 A most successful baseball season was closed last night when the final games in the soft ball schedule were plared at the Percival avenue grounds. The leagues greatest suc- cess was reached when the Ameri- can Legion entry finally succeeded in breaking into the win column at the expense of the Bottle Alley nine. The Legionnaires had fought all through the season without winning a game and had lost most of their contests by one run. Just by way of gaining sweet revenge, they took the measure of their opponents last night by the score of to 6. break ing into the win column by the one run margin.
 The Giants failed to take advan- tage of the Alley teams loss when they forfeited the game to the St. Pauls and as a result remained in a tie for third position while the Saints retained their undisputed hold on the runner-up post just behind the cham pionship Cypress Hill crowd, who took the Ferndales into camp to the tune of to :. The champions went through the entire schedule with only one loss, which was suffered at the hands of the Saints on the night of August :.
 While the fans who followed the fortunes of the various teams throughout the schedule are loud in their praises of the work of the winners, there seems 10 be an un- dercurrent of feeling amongst the majority of them that series should be arranged between the other two top entries. Those inter ested in this project claim that the natural rivalry which exists between these aggregatons would be the sig nal for some great baseball should the suggested series materialize.
 The Saints are all set for such a series and it is hoped by them that the management of the Hill boys will accede to the wishes of many of the fans who supported the league project throughout the entire season.
 The final standing of the teams is AS follows;
