According to the results of the three

on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, the
Smithers team is the champion team
of the north. They won the most. of
the games, and there is no doubt but
that they played infinately, the best
brand of ball, although Prince Rupert.
and Hazelton teams showed occasional
flashes of first class ball. The home
town team was consistent.all through.

There wns a wonderful crowd on the
srounds all three days, much the lar-
gest gathering that has been seen in
the north since the Breet days of some
five or. six Fears ago. '

_ People were ‘there from. all points
between Prince Rupert and... Prince
George.. There were probably three or
four hundred | yisitors. fom, distant

from this end of the district and from

a good tan and had their pores opened

that all could enjoy the sports to the
full extent. There was not a drop of
rain until after everything -was over.

Then Hazelton and ‘Prince. Rupert

to his pitching.. They only seored two
runs for nine innings while the Rupert
boys scored about when liked and ns
