THE “BOMBER” label on the bat of this San Antonians softballer is a warning to Canterbury players when they meet him on February 17. W. Canion (above) is the heavy-batting infielder of the side who has several times won the homerun championship of San Antonio softball leagues. His career average is an excellent .350, most of these being over the fence and into the crowds. One of the older members of the contingent, Canion is a 38-year-old telephone installer. He bats and throws right-handed, so the English Park cycling track, at the city end, will receive his special attention.
