After winning provincial title

NORTH VANCOUVER'’S all star Babe Ruth baseball
team.

North Vancouver has

the best Babe Ruth
baseball team in the
province.

And this weekend the all-
star group of 14 and 15-year-
olds will be going to Trail to
see just how the team holds
up against the best teams in
the Pacific Northwest.

The North Van _ team
qualified for this regional
tournament after they won
the divisional title, and then
provincial title at a tour-
nament in Campbell River.

The North Van side beat
Squamish two games to one
in a best of three series, to
win the divisional title.

They then had to compete
against six other clubs in the

provincial double-knockout
playoffs.

In an impressive bout of
preliminary play, North Van
overwhelmed Victoria,
Campbell River and Prince
George, 9-3, 8-0, and 6-4

respectively, to reach the
final round of play.
The team then faced

Comox, a team which lost its
first game, in the final.

North Van dropped the
first game 4-0 but because
North Van _ had _ been
previousty unbeaten and
Comox had one loss on their
record, the two teams played
again to decide the title.

In this game North Van
side made no mistake as they
downed Comox 10-4 to take
the provincial ttle.

Throughout the tour-
