GOOD DISPLAY OF SCIENCE.
Manager Clark Will Enter Protest
on the First Goal

Olympics and the Free Wanderers OF this
city met in one of the New England
League series of games on the Dexter
streat grounds. 1t was great game, full
Of scientific playing and entirely free from
the rough play as was witnessed In the
Wanderer- Rover Association game two
weeks ago. The crowd expected to see
big Pilling, Burgess and Lee put up a
rough game with the wing and center
players of the Pawtuckets, who are much
smaller, but Abe played hard, but not
rough, and was often seen measuring his
length on the turf the result of meeting
little Davis.
Both teams were materially weakened
by the inability of some Of the players to
take part in New England League game,
having signed contracts with other clubs.
The Olympics were short Finn, Stewart
and Tamilson. The first two signed with
the Pawtuckets but deserted.
Mcfarland could not tend goal for the
Wanderers because he is signed with the
Metropolis and Montgomery, the new
player, is not signed anywhere, not
having been here long enough.
The Wanderers scored their first goal
after twenty-five minutes play and it was
the only goal put through during the first
half. On the restart he Olympics went
in like a whirlwind, and the Wanderers
met their Waterloo. The first goal for
Fall River was made in scrimmage and
Umpire Clark said he would protest the
game as the goal was scored on a free
kick and Clark claims the six foot limit
rule was not observed.
The elevens lined up at 800. Pawtuckets
had lost the toss andIwere playing up hill.
The first thing that was noticed was Pill
ling sprawling on the ground. O'Neil got
the ball and ran it up, but hands was al
lowed on McCann. Davis began to spread
himself and made good run, but failed
to score. Pagan kept getting his foot in
front of the ball every time it came within
his territory. Davis and Pilling got into
wrestling match for possession of the ball,
and it was comical to see the little fellow
take the leather away from his big oppo-
nent.
The Olympics were given good kick,
and Guy sent the sphere flying over the
sticks, just little too high. Burgess and
Lee made some good stops and hands were
allowed on Jenkins and Burgess in kick
ing off, burst the ball, and little time
was lost in getting new one.
O'Connell had two stops in quick sue
cession, and the Wanderers were given a
few kicks. Pilling got the leather, and
while Guy took it away McCann tumbled
the Fall Riverite. Clarkson was caught
off sides by Pagan, who had his eyes open.
The Olympics then lost good chance
to score. The ball was right in the goal
mouth. Adams rushed and fell, Others
falling on him, and nobody touched the
rubber which rolled itself outside.
The ball was then taken to the other
end of the field in "hurry-up" wagon
and O'Connell saw trouble was brewing.
A. Jenkins shot for goal. O'Connell was
charged and the leather waltzed graceful
ly through in just twenty-five minutes
from the start.
The ball was kept there and a scrimmage
followed. The Jenkins brothers did some
fine passing and gave O'Connell another
stop. McCann and Davis thought they
they had goal but it struck the rail and
bounded off. Barney Pagan played like a
little eleven all in himself and half time
was called with the score one to nothing.
On the restart the ball was taken to the
Wanderers goal and in few seconds was
sent through in a scrimmage. Then there
was a long kick and a protest by Manager
Clark. Again they started and in about
the same length Of time another goal was
scored by Taylor. The Wanderers then
began to look at each other and ask what
was the matter. Davis~was not discour-
aged and said, "That's nothing, boys"
The Wanderers played hard to regain
the ground lost, but 1t was an uphill
fight. Their opponents Immediately be-
gan time tactics, and it was rapidly grow
ing dark.
Davis had the honor Of tieing the game.
He shot for the goal, the ball striking
Pilling and went through. 1t was so dark
by this time that it was impossible to
see anything but the white suits of the
Spindle City eleven. 1t was good time
for rough play, but none was indulged in.
