Original Toronto Star caption: What next? There's a Tiger-Cat painted on the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens, so why not one in the stands? That's Archie French, a local fan who insists this was all his idea. He stopped in to join Maple Leaf and Ticat owner Harold Ballard, left, in Ballard's private box at the Gardens last night as Leaf beat Flyers, 3-2.
