    With the formation in 1951 of the Western Canada League, a six team semi-pro circuit, the Southern League took a direct hit as three of the stronger franchises, the Regina Caps, the Moose Jaw Canucks and the defending champion Estevan Maple Leafs abandoned the Southern League to enter the new professional association. On top of that, many of the most talented homebrew players were lured away from Southern League teams to ply their trade within the new pro confederation.
    
        (May 6) The Southern League decided at an executive meeting that each team will be allowed only one American import for the 1951 season. Representatives of most teams, however, expressed a desire to stock their rosters solely with home grown, local talent.
