Competition keener, games close in OCBL This week's report brings news of a couple of sur- prises that occurred in last week's action in the Bush League.

The following Thursday Jthe Bell Tele- phone Employees defeated the home Stone Real Estate team with good hitting and pitching. Both games were very close but the visitors earned their victories. As we near the half-way mark in our twenty-game season the competition ap- pears to be -getting much better and no one team seems to have a definite hold on any position or even a positive playoff spot. Apart from League ac: tion a very important com- ing event is the All Stars vs. the 1973 Champions, Greenbank, on Sun. June 23rd at 2 p.m. Only the teams of last year will sup- ply players to the All Stars but it is hoped that all participants in the League and their fans will come out to Greenbank on Sunday to view the action and join in the fun.
