Canadiens With only on more week to go, inâ€" terest in the softball series is about at its height in town, though new heights are probable. _ Softvail has been getting better all season and inâ€" erest increasing in proportion. After last week‘s matclres three teams were tied for first place in the league, these being the A.8.D., Holly Recs and the \\rrmvs. The Arrows stayed in the Prunning by doubling the score on the Canadiens last. Friday ‘night and practically elminating any hopes the latter team might have of getting into the semiâ€"finals.. The game was very interesting but the Canadiens spoiled it by some very loose playing and showed a lack of any team play. Charlebois at third for the Canadiens played nice ball, and with three runs and three hits, starred for his team. His last two hits were cireuit blows, the first one in the fourth, with none on ‘bases, and his next in the fifth, also to right field, brought Fourier in ahead of him. _C. Connie is improvâ€" ing as the season wears on. Young Leo Camphbell was undoubtedly the star of the Arrows so far as at bat was concerned. In five times up he had three hits and two walks, and crossed the plate four times. _ The fifth time he was cealled out at the plate. He was guilty of some outâ€" fielding, however, muffling a couple of easy chances. Melllarghey was good as ever, getting three hits, one walk and three runs. â€"_On Monday the Tuxis and A.S.D. met and played in what was the lowest scoring game of the season. D. Moore again broke up the game with a home run. The A;S.D. scored the first run in the first innings and in the fifth the Tuxis tied it up, Ostrowsky crossâ€" ing the plate, but in the last of the fifth W. Grant, whose control wasn‘t too good, walked the first two men up, and with a fielder‘s choice brought D. Moore up with two men on hases. After J. Graham had failed to cateh a foul fly which would have retired the side. he made a home run. to left field. In spite of walking seven men W. Grant pitched an excellent game and held the leading AK.8.D. team to three seattered hits, but two of them were for extra bases.
