SOFTBALL

Softball had a big year. In Charlottetown a 6-tcam city league was in operation and four of the teams. Sunshine Island Dairy. B. Y.' C., Abbies and Barry's Lions made the playoffs while the Navy and Keefe Drug failed to qualify.

The Dairy and the Lions met in the finals with the Dairymen win- nlniz the best of seven series four games to two. .

The Dairy then met the Summerside Air Force for the Island title and after a hard-fought series the Dairy advanced to the N. B.- P. E. I. playoffs when they defeated the Airmen four games to two.

The Dairy won the first game of the N. B.-P. E. I. finals from the Salisbury Flyers 6-2 but lost the remaining two games played at Salisbury in the best-of-three series.

Big Henry Hartlnger led all pitchers in the Charlottetown City League with s 1541 record and Ralph Pineau of B. Y. C. and Len Arsenault of the Dairy won home run honors.
