The Brigades, Bombers, and Dixies are now tie for first place in the standing of teams in the American division of the So. End softball circuits.
 The one game that the Bombers lost was to the Little Giants, team that is now tied with the Warriors for fourth place. The only game that the Brigades lost was to the Bombers by a forfeit. The Dixies were defeated in their first game by the Bombers in very close game, the Dixies won three out of four games. Many of the fans wanted to know about which of the games for this week would be the best. As we all know, that the Brigades will play the Dizzies this Friday, both of these teams have many strong hitters, and fast inf1elders. The outfield is also made up of good and wide awake players. This game promises to be the best and most exciting.
 In the National division tonightS game is sure to be the best when the Greenleafs play the Battery shop, team that is second for standing of the National. The Greenleafs are tie with the St. Anns A. A. for first place, both teams were not yet defeated. The Green leafs will play St. Ann's in their last game of the league, so that both teams will be given enough prepa- ration to meet each other. Maurice Riberdy, manager of the St. Ann,s A. A. and player for the Ingersoll softball team, is depending on the whole teams smart playing, strong hitting and good support to invade all the teams in his division, and then taking over the American divi- sion in the two best out of three series games for the championship of the So. End 1888 softball league and by this adding another cup for the honor of his club.
 Talking about the rest of the teams in the So. End loop, the Conn. oil service a team that is made up of gas station attendants is doing a lot better than they did before at the beginning of the sum- mer. Since they got Fred Book be- hind the plate and that new pitcher, the runs are getting scarce for the opposing side. Murphy full of pep and vigor give g lot encouragement to his team, and his playing on first bases cannot be beating. Really the credit goes for the whole team for the great change and improvement.
 The Sluggers known as the prob lem team of the So. End have played four games and lost four. But Armand Boucher, captain of the Sluggers and former coach of the Silver Streak girls is not the kind who lets himself down, and he will try to win a few games before the league ends, if he has to do it all by himself.
 The Little Giants, team that is well supported by the fans, always gave lot of competition to the teams they have played. Out of four games they have won two losing the others by a close score. Able Deschenes, captain of the Giants, expects to win all the games left for his team to play. We hope.
 The Night Owls a group of young players combined with a few of Sammy procopion's baseball players are giving a lot of support for the cause of the team. Gerry Parenteaux captain and pitch for the Owls will have to work hard and fast for his next game is with the St. Ann's A. A.
 The presidents another team of young players, headed by John Florio are doing all right, out of two games they only lost one. We wish to remind the Presidents that their game Is Tuesday at SIS with the St. Ann's Old Timers. The Flashes
