HOW THE PLAYERS LOOKED.
The Staten Island men were the first to put
in an appearance on the ground. They pre-
sented fine appearance as they came running
out tossing the ball from stick to stick, or more
technically, from crosse to crosse They were
dressed in black jersey shirts and white run
ming trunks and looked ready to last through
long and hard game. Is soon became evident
from their practice play that they were experts
with the sticks and we'll deserve the eastern
championship that they now hold.
They were soon followed on to the field by
the Philadelphia men, who were dressed in
full suits OF red jersey With their club letters,
"A c. s. N" worked In white on their breasts.
lighter team, but they were very fit and ready
to run for day II necessary.
THE GAME BEGUN
1t was 1914 when game was called and the
ball put in play with the navy men at the
southern goal. The Phiadelphis boys got the
ball first and managed to keep it for a minute
or two, during which they made one throw for
goal, but missed. But boy in black got the
ball then and it went sailing up the field
Meharg Of the islanders secured it In his stick
and threw the first goal within two and half
minutes Of the time the game was called.
Then the goals were changed, and after few
seeonds intsrmission the ball Was put in play
again, and in a very brief space Of time the
islanders had the ball and threw for goal but
the ball went wild. Both teams we're playing
rather loosely, and the ball passed from side to
side and from end to end rather too freely.
TEAM WORK COMPARED.
The Staten Island team appeared to be O little
the better at stick work and in passing but the
advantage was not q marked one. Still the ball
stayed around the navys goal with alarming
persistency, and several attempts for goal were
made, Lut all went wild. Powell, the Canadian
captain Of the Reds, got the ball and made
ball changed hands and was soon back
in its old place. good throw
was made, but the rubber struck q goal post
and bounded back into the field and tile fun
began all over again. The ball was continually
going out over the track and every time, OF
course, 1t was out of play and had to be put
into play again. No playing was allowed on
the track and everything was done TO keep the
track in the best possible condition for the
afternoons games.
ball, and ii was soon back again A good throw
by Ogle sent II up near the S.IA.C.'s goal,
but the reds could not keep il there. The ball
began to change ends pretty rapidly once more
and only good checking and goal tending pre-
vented several goals from being made.
AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT.
At this point Of the game scrap occurred
that reflected no credit on any one. Half the
crowd got into fight that was not down on the
program. Striking and punching made
things lively, and when Sehell Of the navy went
down, he got . number Of sharp raps. The
referee soon parted the fighters, aud King,
Of the Staten Islands, was disqualified for his
smuggling and his team played one man short.
Under the rules q substitute cannot enter until
goal has been made. The little fight started
some bad blood on both sides and from that
point on the game was lively one. Throw
followed throw, and in the confusion Billy
Davis Of the New York team got the ball and
threw pretty goal Score. 20 In favor OF
Staten Island.
TIE PHILLIEs TAKE A ooAI-
Hay was started again at once, and for .
change the navy boys got the ball, and in con-
siderably less than q minute Chesterman threw
the first goal for his side. Score, 81.
Both sides were now playing . much closer
game. and the excitement Of the audience was
kept up TO the highest pitch. Pretty runs with
the ball we're made by Moses and others, but
the ball kept pretty well in the mid-feld and
no throws were made during the remainder OF
the first half.
