PELS PLUCK 1ST SIFL TITLE
With plenty of room to spare the Labadieville Pelicans are the 1952 champion of the South Island First League... the Pels won it with plenty of games left to play... but there is a big battle for the runner-up spot with a three-way deadlock among the Claiborne Cardinals, Opelousas Lions and Des Allemands Eagles.
When Claiborne edged Opelousas 8-7 Sunday afternoon, that gave Labadieville the league title... no one can now catch them... the Pelicans held off the fifth place Mystic Mariners 7-6... and Des Allemands rallied to whip last place Bar Harbor 4-3 in the other game.
