a season attendance record as 4,20Q
persons turned out to see them
snatch the play from the high and
mighty Bears. A week ago yesterday
they drew $500 cash customers, and
on preceding Sunday nights the
turnstiles clicked to the tune of
$500 and $500, respectively. Sum

the crowds.

after the Bears had taken an early

late in the third period to further
the woe of the Bears. The Lions,
