Shop nine gained the right to
meet the Miller Furniture dia-

League by defeating the Union
Printers, 9 to 4.
Tony Burruto and his team
mates have waited a long while
for this turn of affairs, having
battled tensely in each game. Now
they're "up there" with the posi-
bilities ahead they might gain the
championship of Section B. They
play the Millers next Sunday for
this title.
The Pig n Whistle tossers are
titlists today, following their i'm
pressive Section A 3-to-2 victory
over the st. Josephs. The Pigs
will now mark time until the
championship of Section B is set
tied. Then they'll battle for the
title of the entire league. Blackie

Harridge Pleased
President Will Harridge ex-
pressed pleasure at the i'm
pending victory of the Tigers.
Mr.. Harridge, being trained in
the old school of baseball, took
nothing for granted, wherefore
despite the long lead of the
Bengals and the few games re-

couched all his statements in

General With Fans
"One of the interesting de-

whether COchrane should open

whether it would be wiser to
start Bridges against the left

"What would you do?" 1

spluttered something about hav-

fled from the box.
