Baracas, the champions, started the season with what appeared to be ` an invincible team, as far as other teams in the league were concerned. The fact that ve of their players made places on the Barrie team speaks for their early strength. As the season progressed Baracas lost i one of their best players. Baracas defeated all opposition at I first, sarve that provided by the Y:M.C.A. The two games played with the "Y" resulted in Bwraca de- feats, which showed that the dope -was again all wrong. Later in the sea-son when St. Andrew's defeated the Methodists, even their most optlmistc supporters foretold defeat. Then came the nals of gnowp 2, which was won by playing two games in the wine afternoon and winning both. Things became rosy and in the nals, played the same day, Baracas won on the strength of their smperior ineld.
