Original Toronto Star caption: Well . . . You just can't beat City Hall. With a grimace and a hefty swing, Mayor William Dennison belts out a hit during yesterday's demonstration baseball game between City Council members and employees of Metro and city. The politicians won 8-4, with Alderman Joseph Piccininni (right) starring on pitcher's mound at Trinity Bellwoods Park. The game which ran only a few innings, opened season's play for Metro and city employees' league.
