SATURDAY'S LACROSSE GAME A HUMMER; RESULT A TIE

The St. Catharines Standard

Monday June 12, 1916

The Athletics and a team from the 126th Battalion, C. E. F. played a very fast and exciting game of lacrosse on the lacrosse grounds Saturday afternoon despite the wet condition of the grounds. It was one of the most evenly contested games that has been played here for some time and ended in a tie 7 - 7, having been tied at three different times.

The soldier team is composed mostly of last year's Brampton team with three men from Owen Sound.

The teams were composed of ten men each, the line-up being as follows:

126th Battalion Position Athletics
Hammond Goal J. Gayder
Salos Point May
Armstrong C. Point Purdy
Cook 1st Defence Herr
Young 2nd Defence Sheehan
Burrell Centre Wiley
Farr 1st Home Flynn
Warren 2nd Home McGlashan
Oliver Inside Home Millar
Wilson Outside Home Richards

Spares, Athletics - Switzer, Campbell, Houston, Milligan, Glover, Murray

Referee - W. Fitzgerald

The locals tried out several new men and juniors and found a number of good men who will with a little practice make first class players.

The summary of the game follows:

  Athletics 126th
1st quarter 2 2
2nd quarter 4 3
3rd quarter 5 6
4th quarter 7 7
