Two first division. games of the Men's Softball League are on the books for today when the league-leading Buccaneers take on the scrappy "Y" Cubs at the Race Course while the Chamber of Commerce. aggregation will swing bats with the.
lumbia Country Club at the latter's diamond.
In the first encounter, the Bucs, on top of the ladder, are strong favourites "n" in' the the Cubs by a count of 9-2.
Cubs have improved since that last battle. It may be recalled that they tumbled the mighty Race Club by a count of 5-4 in a mild upset on day. "Dud" Squires or Tom. Butler will be on the mound for the Buccaneers while "Girlie" Kazimiroff will likely hurl for the "Y."
The other contest at the C.C.C. is generally conceded to the Columbians who hold the runner-up position in the softball race. Their opponents, the Chamber of Commerce team, are one rung from the bottom of the league ladder. These two squads have also met before. In their previous encounter, the—Chamber-men fell before the Triple-C team by a score of 4-0.
But today's meeting may not be such a walk-away for the Columbians as they have been playing ragged ball lately if their performance on Monday against the S.F.X. may be taken as a criterion. On that occasion, when they missed their regular players badly, the C.C.C. took the contest only after struggling through a wild and wooly game which eventually wound up with the fabulous count of 16-14 Be that as it may, the Triple-C boys should beat the Chamber of Commerce aggregation today.
