WESTERNS DRUBBED, JBS. UPSET LEADpS
Westerns sank lower in the West Toronto Baseball League cellar as they were walloped by West Yorks, K.'-o before 3,W<� on July 4. .
The situation is developing in-. |o a 3-way battle between the leading Mayfairs, Mahers and West Yorks, as. only one and a half games separate thhe third place Yorks from-the top. Westerns bring up the rear badly in arrears with a dismal 4-11 record.
Trying to find ..another starter in the short-manned Westerns' pitching department, erstwhile third-baseman Mac Oikawa went to the hill only to be relieved by Ken-Ohara as the West Yorks put the game on ice with a G-run first inning splurge. : .
. Better -news came from r the junior front as /the. .teen-age Westerns, beat league leading Columbus on July 5. Hill Aoki's p.inch-hit >ing!e in .the seventh drove in the winning rim to make the final score 7-5.

I.t might be because of their hustle, colour. ,,r t:-r, ?er:�� that the crowd loves an underdog.

The voluble, rapid boiling point of the' French-i'a'V.ad'ia!^ the notoriously slow boiling point and complacency.of ':>? Japa Canadians must offer quite a contrast whenever truro are : ments on close plays and such.
We often see a touch of that whenever we go''<in.\yn t-- l-/ 'Fleet Street Flats in Toronto to see the Triple A i^afs p'ay ba We get a kick whenever we see Frenchy Lapointe, Leafs' jnfie'dr-get into a "hey-rube". It. usually ends up.with Frenchy bo:p,g-thr�-:out of the game. , . ' �:
But we've yet to see a Nisei "holler guy". In their own Nisei leagues, they are always ready u argue a close decision and heckle the umpire but when they get 'iiito cc:r,r-e
tit-ion with Occidental teams, it's unusual to see even a-Dijld proitj:.
