Our crystal gazing was correct
last week when we picked the
Spares, Spare Parts, Butchers
and Applejacks to play in the
finals for the Labatt Trophy. We
were, however, a little hazy on
the order, as you will note.
This week the crystal ball in
dicates that a stranger may
appear on the scene. The Big Six
have an outside chance of tying
for fourth place if they take
seven points from the Windmills
next Tuesday night (7 o’clock).
In that event a match with the
Spare Parts will be held Wednes
day or Thursday night to decide
who will go into the Labatt Tro
phy finals.
The Pittsburg Paints group
will finish early next week and
the top spots are still very much
in contention.
This week Chub Whiting was
added to the Grease Monkeys but,
even with Chub in the lineup,
they mustered only four men—to
the great satisfaction of the Keg
lers.
