The outcome was neyer really in doubt as the K of C's ran up an eleven run lead by the second inning, picking up twelve hits and capitalizing on some sloppy play by the Cobourg club. lhe climax to a fine E.O.B.A. season was aiso a reward for the trio of AI MacDonald, i Jermyn and Keith MacDonald who worked with the club to mould them int a championship team.

Things are scheduled to get underway at Peel Park at 2:00 p.m. and it sbould be an afternoon of laughs as these two groups square off in a game that is scheduled to go as many innings as the creaking joints and muscles will allow. As could be expected, a lot of unscheduled hi - jinks are planned and the game will no doubt turn out to be the 'worst' of the season as far as the calibre of basebaîl is concerned but it sbould be one of the most enjoyable and fans are urged to corne down and see the goings - on.
