oht on tha fold of OAKLAND

sght on the field at Oakland
Park yesterday. The Barry Athletic AS
seciation's team met the enemy and will
have to meet them again to win. The
victory wen to the Mitchells of Brook
Ign. II was a hard reverse. the first the
Barrys have sustained this season. It
was a sever blow, because the defeated
team had disposed of the champions of
the Gaelic League and regarded all other
seams rs second rate. The home team
was not confident before the game. Only
ten of the regulars app cared y they
had to put or i've substitutes. Their VIC
tories had been achieved by superiorteam
work and skill In passing the ball. 1t
was sadly deficient in these points yester-
day and invariably the ball when ad-
vanced by one Of the Barrys fell into the
grip OF the rival team, who cleverly man
oauvred n when the ball tell We're
on hand to secure and send 1t
forward toward the goal of the enemy.
They played with dash and energy.
Several of the home team, in a rush,
played as If the ball was made of hot
metal. too heavy to kick and 100 hot 10
touch. At times the Barrys rallied, and
at the close they made q desperate tight to
score and almost succeeded. They kept
Captain Cranley hustling TO keep the ball
from going undo the rope. Their efforts
were spasmodic. They got the ball down
neat the Mitchell goal, but, like a flash, it
would come flying back and be over the
goal lhe. The splendid defense Of Cap
tain LafSin's prevented the Milchells
from scoring several goals. He was ably
assisted by Madden, who worked like a
beaver. T. Hayes and O'Keefe did credit
able work. Buckley, OF the Mitchells,
Is entitled to the credit of
points for his side. Whenever the ball
landed in his territory he secured it and
by superb dribbling or o hard kick car
ried it many yards into the Barry's Aeld.
The rules are frequently violated.
There was tackling anu on several oeca-
sions plungers were deliberately thrown
down.. In one instance one of the Mitch
elps caught one of the Barrys by the foot,
threw him ana caused MIN to lose the
ball.
When the game was called only a small
audience was present. The Barrys
guarded the west goal. The ball was
soon uncomfortably lear the Bayry's
sticks Madden and Foy kept 1t away
gressive and sent the ball down the field,
when the first half closed they were
two points behind, as the Mitchells had
four points. In the last half the Barrys
We're at a disadvantage as a stiff wind
