top scorer: Catliff and/or Mitchell?

I had always thought Catliff and Mitchell were joint all-time top scorers with 19. However, I recently saw on the wiki page for our nats that Mitchell was listed as having 19 and Catliff 18; I checked the CSA's page (http://www.canadasoccer.com/eng/nationals/roster.asp?sort=team1D⊂=3), which lists Catliff at 18 in 43 and Mitchell at 19 in 55.

Anyone care to enlighten me? is there a controversy as to the legitimacy of one of Catliff's goals or was this a mere clerical error by the CSA?

edit to say that the RSSSF (http://www.rsssf.com/miscellaneous/can-recintlp.html) lists them tied at 19.

Ive only ever seen them both listed at 19. It said that on the CSA site for a while, when they have a list of the goalscorers in order. For some reason they got rid of that. If you also notice, that same page has Bunbury with 17, it was always my impression he had 16. I'd bet its a typo, thats not uncommon with the CSA site.

John Catliff's entry doesn't mention his goal total for Canada:

...but Dale Mitchell's entry on the Hall of Fame web site says they are both tied at 19:

I would take the information from this site over that of Wikipedia or the CSA site (as it seems they are getting their info from Wikipedia).
