Zion, July 26.--A very large crowd turned out to see Zion and Bowman ville play their last game of foothal! for the season, Bowmanville being well supported by Sofma team and fans. The game was a little late in starting but when it did get started it had lots of pep. Zion scored a goal in four minutes. Ray Cameron beat Jeffery on a pass from Wilbur. Zion had the edge on the first half of play, but af- ter half time Bowmanville caught Zion napping (and eating oranges) and slipped one by Stainton which evened things up. Zion boys tried very hard to get another goal but Jeffery wasn't to be fooled again. He stopped shot after shot that looked like sure goals, so the game ended 1-1. Since the 1-1 score tied Zion with Solina, those two teams will have to play off for the championship. Don't miss this game, it is likely to be played Saturday night, July 30. Come on hoys, cheer up, Solina says you will never even sce the cup. But the writer thinks that if you would really like to see it, that they may let you have a peak at it. Wouldn't you Gordon ?
