A no-hitter by Saskatoon's Cooney Wood was a highlight of the inter-provincial baseball championship in Edmonton over the September 13-14 weekend.  St. Joseph's A.C. of Saskatoon downed the Alberta representatives in three straight games to capture the title.  The Saskatchewan entry won the first game 13-1 behind the fine hurling of Pete Therrien.  Wood fired his no-hitter in the second game, a 5-1 triumph.  He had ten strikeouts.  Chuck Syers pitched the final contest, as Saskatoon won, 15-8.

St. Joe's had won the Saskatchewan title on the Labour Day weekend, downing Regina Shamrocks 10-7 Monday, September 1 in the first game of a twin-bill to take the set in three straight games. Saskatoon had taken both ends of a double-header in Regina on Saturday, 11-4 and 6-1.

Catcher "Curly" Reeves punched out a double and three singles to lead a 16-hit Saskatoon attack in the title clinching contest.  Pete Therrien scattered nine hits in taking the pitching win.  After Regina had tied the game with a run in the top of the 7th, Saskatoon responded with three in the bottom of the frame for the victory.  Shaw had three hits, including a homer for the Shamrocks.
