YOUNG TIGERS IN TIE
WITH CRASHO RESERVES

". Seaside park last Sunday afternoon
was the scene Of one of the best anna
teur games played this season. In a
clash for the city championship of the
$3.50 pound championship the Young
Tigers and the Crasho Reserves bat
tied a scoreless tie. The game was
played very cleanly and speedily. This
was a championship contest and the
outcome proved that these teams are
the best and cleanest teams in the
city. Although the ball was mostly
in the Crasho territory all the game
the Tigers lacked the punch to rush
the ball over for the coveted score.
For the Tigers the teamwork was a
feature with Kennel and Callaghan a
little ahead for the honors, while
johnson and Daley starred. I,
Next Sunday these teams will clash
for the second time and the. same
line-ups will prevail. ~
