ANOTHER WH|TEWASH
Men from The Nutmeg
State Badly Beaten.
A GENTLEMANLY GAME.
Wanderers Were Not Pushed Very
Hard and Won Easily.

Saturday afternoon the wanderers lad
for their opponents on the Dexter street
grounds the representatives Of the Nut
meg State called the Connecticut State
League team. The eleven was made up Of
Willimantic, Rockville, Tsftville and
Packervilie players and were well selected.
They labored under the disadvantages
OF not having players mu,h together and
therefore played more an individual game
than they would have IL they had had
plenty OF practice. Those Of the aggrsga-
tion who deserve special mention are j.
Brown, Gamble, James Dobson and
Higgins.
The Wanderers were not forced very
hard and it was q very slow game for
while. When near half time, they got
woke up little and made the pace . little
faster. Mcfarland had but very little to
do and during the last half was on the
center line the greater part OF the time.
Pagan and Reid acted a. though they
were playing forward instead of full backs
and the leather was in the Nutmeg
eleven's territory from start to finish.
Davis was on the wing and 1t seemed at
times as though he had wings
the way he hustled the sphere.
Montgomery and O'Neil played
great passing game and Guys dribblinS
was amusing. Summer, Lonsdale man,
was given trial and played . nne game
throughout. He il . big fellow and .
strong, sure kicker. McCsnn had mania
for scoring and two out of the three were
due to his shots.
The Nutmegs won the toss and started
the ball rolling down the hill, and in few
moments "hsnds" was allowed on tho
the visitors. Davis began to use his curly,
red head to good advantage and the lea
ther was kept flying around the goal
Of the opposition. Pagan had some
hns chances to use his feet and did 30,
making some splendid long kicks. O'Nsil
iuggled the ball up to the goal and passed
TO McCsnn who shot little too high and
the leather sailed grao, fully over the bar.
Higgins scored . goal few moments
later and Montgomery and O'Nen did
some good passing.
$. jenkins fouled the ball, giving the
Nutmegs free kick, and then tried for
goal but his a,perstions and feet were
soaring little too high. Reid began TO
set in his fine work and played all over
the field
McCann made a very pretty play for
goal and Brown made an equally pretty
stop. There was some neat passing and
McCann tried to use his head to send it
through, for a change; but did not get
around quick enough.
Days got tho leather and after spillinS
a few Of the opposition, passed to O'Nsil
who made bad shot for goal. Hands
was allowed on Montgomery and Sumner
made splendid long kick for goal, but
Brown was the only one there to receive
it and sent it back Aging.
Ihe Nutmeg goal tender had some hot
work and headed several out prettily.
After some neat passing McCann sent the
sphere flying through in just IS minutes
from the start. No more were scored un-
til half time.
Reid did some fne work on the restart.
Davis made some fine shots for goal,
but Brown was always there. Hands
were allowed on the visitors and the Paw
tuckets failed TO score. A foul throw In
by the Connecticut team gave the Wan
derers the ball. Mcconnell passed 10
Davis who sent it through.
The visitors began to see that the gamo
was lost unless they braced up, which
they did. Dobson and Higgins did some
good work. 1t began to get dark and
few minutes before the whistle blew Nc
Cam took the ball away from the whole
gang, ran it to the goal and sent 1t
through unassisted, making the score
three to nothing and sending the visitors
home whitewashed, not one OF them get
ting any Of the prizes offered by their
captain, who was going to give every man
o who scored a goal and the lucky one
who made the winning goal e5 extra.
