The drag lines were really clawing up the sand and general foreman Archie McInnis, in spite of his concrete gang, was staying ahead of the game with his basements. There was progress in other directions also, At a meeting of all 0.C.C, ball players, it was decided to enter two teams in the softball league, Jerry Ferguson, who is directing the first team has thrown together a strong squad and had the boys playing warm-up games.
