Softball League, one of the strongest in the province before the war, was reviv- ed Friday night at a meeting in the town hall, Whitby. Representatives were present from Whitby, Brook- lin, Pickering, and Westmount. An entry was sent by North Oshawa and word was received from Ajax that they were interested in the league. These entries form the nuc- leus of a very strong league with three Intermediate "B" clubs and three Intermediate "C" clubs, all of in contention for the league title right down to the end of the sea- son, The Whitby team, behind 'the great pitching of Wally Samanski is planning its best year yet. To give them competition in Intermediate "B" ranks will be North Oshawa and Westmount. Last year both of these teams were among the leaders in the East Whitby Township League and they are planning to strengthen for the coming season. In the Intermediate "C" division there Will be Brooklin, Ajax and Pickering. Last year Brooklin beat out Westmount in the first round O.AS.A, playoffs and then bowed to the power-laden Cobourg team in the Eastern Ontario Championship playoffs, With the addition of "Nip" Hooker, starry pitcher of the Brook- lin Junior team for the last three years to their pitching staff, they should have an even better season this year. Ajax has been .a strong contender inthe O.A.S.A. playdowns for the last two years in Inter- mediate "C" class. They will prob- ably have this same powerful team in the league again. The dark horse of the league race will be Picker- ing, who finished strong in the Pick- ering Township League last year. Although nothing is known of their plans for the coming season, they should be one of the better clubs. These six teams will compete throughout the season for the Southern Ontario League cup which has been resurrected and presented to the League by Joe Childerhose of Westmount.

The section of the by- law requiring dogs to be tagged will be enforced also.
