games from the Liptons. The victory

gives them the strongest claim to the
city championship. The best bowling of

three-string total. Tommy Davidson of
the Pastimes also bowled well. Harold

two games were won by the 1900" club
and the last game fell into the hands
of the Liptons. Fred Inglis secured high
single string with 100, and also was
awarded high three-string honors with
