TIGERS ARE CHAMPS Anglican Tigers are worthy champ- ions of the Gorrie Softball League. The two final games swung the tide of battle in their favor, having four victories as against two losses. The Bengals defeated the Cyclones 10-8 in a clean, well played game and then the Whirlwinds from the 9th Con., turned on the power to beat the Maple Leafs 26-20, and thus put the latter out of the running. An unfortunate mishap occurred in the latter contest when Irving Toner and Clarence Sparling crashed in chasing a fly ball. Both received severe gashes on the temple, each wound requiring three stitches front the doctor's needle. Both players retired from the game after the mishap, but were at work again next day. The final standing is as follows: Won Lost P.C. Tigers .,...- ........................... 4 2 .667 Maple Leafs 3 3 500 3 3 .500 2 4 .333 Grenadiers Cyclones The promoters of the league are gratified over the results obtained. The players showed good sportsman- ship and had. a tot of fun out of the games, while the spectators were in agony andraptures as good and bad plays in the field were successively made.
