YESTERDAYS GAME.
PIay-The Hottest Contest OF
the Season "A Disput-
ed Goal


terday afternoon by about six hundred
sport loving people. 1t was between the
San Antonio foot ball club, champions Of
OF the state, and an amalgamated club of
three carpenters, seven Missions and one
High School man. The grounds were in
San Antonios who had man
working on them SATURDAY morning.
| The San Antonios played 10 their new
black and white uniforms and the Anal
Ramateds in tights and citizens clothing
with strip across the shoulders.
1t was 1886 o'clock when Umpire Her
man Heuermann blew his whistle and
center rush Brunt passed the ball to
right rush Reich, who sent it to the left
where Philips caught IT on his boot,
knocking it 'high sky" For few min
utes after that it would be hard to say
few minutes ana then on the ground with
a half dozen or more players on top Of it.
Finally one of the Amalgamated men
| kicked II very near San Antonio's
goal, but they misjudged their
men. Hoefling and Sohl, who had
been reclining on their elbows
watching, the game, suddenly arose in
their might and shattered the hopes of
| the carpenter (?l boys. A deep toned
''plunk," Hoefing's kick, was heard and
the little leather covered spere was seelt
flying in the air. 1t landed in the Annals.
| line, where the S. AS forwards got it
and took it dangerously near the enemy'S
goal. But that Gael, who had also been
having an easy time of it got in his work
| and In as neat manner as possible picked
| IL up and threw 1t over the heads OF the
| on-cOmng San AntonionS. The white
| and blacks got 1t and again set it near the
pink ribbons goal but Bates took off his
hat to the leather, and it returned to the
center of the field. Then for several min
utes it was give and take. Pre- tty soon
| the popular little ball was seen near the
San Antonios' goal, but not thr ough 1t.
| Simpson picked 1t up and threw 1t In
| front of Sohl, who sent it back to the rib
bon boys ground, who were a little slow
| in taking it and between Richards and
Brunt it was taken to their goal and came
| within IAN ace" OF going through. All
the spectators could see was an amalga-
| nation Of white and black and pink
| ribbons. 1t was so near that some OF the
DetterS were about to give up. 1t did not
| go through. 1t was impossible TO tell
who was the cause, but somebody saved
the goal for the carpenter boys, and sent
the leather back in the field. Here Rus
| sell got and took it down the side near
the lines and then up TO the goal when
Reich put 1t through.
Then dispute arose. Umpire Heuer-
mann would not allow the goal ana gave
| as his reason was that he blew the
whistle while Russell had the ball near
the line as he thought it was over. That
is the side he and the carpenters took or
the matter. Lineman Stone, whose busl-
| ness it was to give a signal TO the umpire
when the ball crossed the line, said IL
was three feet inside, The whistle was
not heard until the ball had been put
through as is claimed by a number OF
| spectators. The carpenters claimed that
IL was blown before, but it seemed they
did not heed it.
At any rate, the goal was hot al
lowed and the carpenters were given
goal kick, and great many other
| kicks. among not only the players but
| the spectators as well.
| From CazefS boot toe the ball paid its
respect to the 5. AS lines and was rushed
through to their goal when corner
Kick was obtained by the ribbon boys.
| Mcdonald did the work and got it in the
| mouth of the goal when some San An
kick was allowed. Mcdonald did the
kicking but his well aimed blow was
| i'm vain, for between SOhl and Simpson
the bal was returned to the center OF
the field KOerps was their however,
| and butted it back to the goal Sohl OBJ
iected to its passing him and sent II back.
1t was returned however, and tussel en-
| sued, resulting in favor of the S. AS
who had 1t in carpenters lines when the
| whistle blue.
Tired and hot all the players gladly
| welcomed the sound. Two minutes were
taken to rest in and then they again
| went on the field to amuSe the spectators,
who were becoming immensely interested.
LAST HALF.
This half was much like the other Ever
body meant business. Mcdonald got hold
of the ball and was about to take 1t
| through the goal but Simpson blocked
his little game and frauRhted his design.
| The black and whites got hold of ii and
| carried 1t into the enemy'S grounds, but
| could not take 10 through Draper and
| Mcdonald got the ball and tried to work
slightly in the way and again Mes hopes
were crushed. After some give
and take work, Wurzbach got the
| ball and twice took II TO the enemy'S
| goal, but Simpson was stubborn and
would not let it pass. Here Sohl and
| had things their own way: Then 1t was
! work tor everybody. The spectators
| could not see the ball for it was under
| the players. Several nice plays were
made, and time was called with the score
| standing nothing to nothing, with that
| San Antonio goal to be decided.
NOTES.
An official umpire should be elected by
the clubs and then no kick would be COM
Foot Ball is becoming interesting to the
sports who are willing TO put their money
on the game.
The grounds are in very good condition
now, but could be improved.
The LIGHT still thinks Gabe CaZeil and
VIM. Simpson are the star goal keepers OF
the state.
The San AntonioS are getting new
| members right along. Captain Russell has
| done much for the sport and should feel
proud of the success thus far.
Mcdonald and LIE Velle were playing
| good ball yesterday.
Louis Heder surprised his friends yes
| terday; he and "Shorty" Phillips can
both run mighty" fast.
