THE SECOND HALp nrar~.


At II o'clock the two teams were called out
again and the second half was begun. The
half led of with some good passing and throw
ing on both sides A throw at the navy's goal
was prettily stopped by Mcdonald. the goal
keeper, and the ball went sailing southward
toward the New York end OF the field. The play
was sharper than at the beginning OF the first
and both teams demonstrated by their en-
durance the fact tina. they had been well
trained and were in the very best condition.
The Staten Island team, however. showed bet
ter team play and wero moro often where they
we're needed at pinch.
M'cLAiS THROWS TWO GOALS.
McClain of the New York team got the ball
from pass and threw a beautiful goal from
the center OF the field. minutes, 3 seconds
after starting the second half Score: STAG,
8; AC.S.N., 1.
Within two minutes of his first goal McClain
got the ball again and tossed his second goal in
tne style. Score: Al
The boys in black started of with an exhibi
ton OF pretty passing aud gathering up and
made several tries for goal, but without marked
success: They were able. however, to keep
the BALL IN the navy yard most OF the time and
gave better exhibition of headwork than did
their opponents. Only good goal tend
ing on the part of Mcdonald
kept them from scoring. Several times
the bali won't up to the other end of the
the part Of the islanders sent it back again.
Every time it came to a close scrap there were
more OF the black Jerseys in the muss than
there were red. Tie Gothamites seemed to
stand the strain OF the hard game better than
the brOtherly lovers. and as a result they had
the rubber in their sticks most of the time. but
no goals were made for q considerable length
OF time.
ACCIDENT TO PLAYER.
During this part of the game the first acci-
dent occurred. Hirshield OF the navy team
fell and hurt his leg and was obliged to leave
the field. A man was taken from the other
team to balance.
The Marine Band put in an appearance dur
ing the second half aud took their place in the
stand at ono end of the field and enlivened the
game with strains OF. sweet music. Once iu
While, though, the ball went into their midst
aud there WAS fun as they cleared out OF the
way. As lacrosse players the Marine Band are
not lin it," They do not know the first princi-
pies OF the game and stand in need of practice.
few minutes interval occurred after Hirsh-
nelds accident but when play was begun il
was with vengeance. The navy men seemed
to realize they had to take a decided brace.
ANOTHER GOAL FOR M'cLAIN.
The game went the other way just the same
for within q minute of the time the ball was
faced McClain got it and threw his ;hIrd suces-
sive goal. Score, 5-l.
STATEN ISLAND WINS By Z TO /.
few little scraps occurred, but nothing
serious took place, and taking il altogether the
game WAS played in q very manly and sports
manlike way. Good playing continued, and the
last part of the game was more closely played
than the first, and showed that the two teams
were pretty nearly matched.
The chief advantage of the New York team
was in their superior team play As usual
that was what won the game. Toward the lat
ter part Of the game the S la C. 3 rather played
for time, though several throws for goal were
made. Richards threw a goal ana McClain
threw another just before time was called.
Score, STAG. Z: A.C.SN..L
Both teams tuned up and cheered the other
when time was called and the great game was
over. The S.LAC.'s are now the champions of
the AA.U.. and they won their honors in AZ
good q game as any one could ask to see. 1t
was fair. exciting contest, and the better
team won on its inertia
