(May) The "imports" of this
year's Kamsack Cyclones will arrive here the first week in June according to
information released by club officials this week. Only two members of
last year's contingent, playing-manager Roy Taylor and pitcher Dave
Kosteniuk of Hyas, will be back with the team this year.

(July) Picking up where they left off
last year, Kamsack Cyclones continued to build up a starry local and
provincial record. Up until the weekend the "hustling" team
had lost only one game, and had numbered the Indian Head Rockets and
Saskatoon Gems among their victims.
