An article about the history and popularity of the game of lacrosse in Bradford, written by Luanne Campbell Edwards.

"At this time in June, 110 years ago, there was only one topic being discussed in every household in Bradford: the Bradford players on the Canadian Lacrosse Associations' All Star Team, then playing across Canada on their way to Vancouver, as part of an around-the-world trip promoting the national game. At that time in Canada's history, that game was lacrosse - not hockey..."

"Lacrosse was the sport in Bradford earlier this century. Bradford players and teams were among the best in the country, and games drew huge crowds at the old lacrosse field on Simcoe Street. This photo, courtesy of Fred "Collie" Collings, shows the 1907 Bradford Junior squad. In the top row from the left, L. Church, Fred Collings, Bob White, Bill Martin, Billie Burgess, B. Harman, and L. Bowser. In the second row from the left, Mel Walruff, L. Cotton, N. McKinstry, J. Sutherland, W. Sutherland, S. Coultson, E. Wright, W. Donnell, P. MacGarvey."

An article about a lacrosse club banquet held at the North American Hotel and attended by Bradford's team. It highlights Lewis Campbell's reception of a silver badge for his contributions to the team.

"Mike Kilkenny called his baseball career to a halt in 1973 after a squabble with the management of the Cleveland Indians, but he may be on his way to the major leagues again. Mike, who was raised in Bradford, told The Witness that a successful year with the Senior Intel County Baseball League's London Majors has drawn scouts from the big leagues south of the border to take a look. Mike went on to say that his season's statistics have aroused interest. So far this year he has won and finished each of the nine games he started and has 130 strike outs in 85 innings."
