Shortstop The first game of the season was played in Galt., although our team was unaccustomed to Indoor Softball, they played excellently, coming through with a win. Torchy', Grieve, our star pitcher, was up to her usual form and was given good support by Elsie Hume. catcher, and Helen Bardwell, on first base. On October 1-ith Galt played the re- turn match in Guelph. Galt was de- feated 11-5. Although both teams pre- sented an excellent brand of softball the home team proved themselves sup- erior in every part of the game. Verna Lehman. . . .,.. Fielder Jean Penfold .... ....

Sub Pitcher W'hen Guelph played in Kitchener on October 17th, the home team proved too much for the visitors. Elma Earon scored the only run. If it had not been for the fumbling on the part of the fielders Guelph would not have been defeated so badly. As it was, the score was 7-1. On account of the bad weather, the final game of the season was played in the Armory, Guelph, November 4th. The visiting team was Kitchener, who carried off the honours of the day with a score of 1-1--if The redeeming fea- ture of the game was the excellent and steady work of our pitcher.
