Final games in summer softball league competition will be played this week, with the championship of sec ond round in major and minor loops depending on the outcome of this week’s scheduled contests. The Minor league was rained out last Tuesday, but on Friday evening Mathewson’s Stokers defeated Duni fon's Corkscrews, 10 to 4, to knock the Corkscrews out of undisputed HARMON FIELD NOTES possession of the loop lead. By the Stokers victory, they tied with the Corkscrews, each having five wins and two losses. The Scuds are only one game out of a first-place tie. In the major league, the Sports men got away to a shaky start in the second round, but two victories last week put them in a first place tie with the College club.
