The morning call., 1893-01-02

played yesterday afternoon on the Haight-
street grounds, between the Emmets and
Parnells.
Great interest had been attached to this
game from the fact that Captain Hurley of
the Parnefls had boldly asserted that he
now had team superior to any other on
the coast. New blood had been infused
into it by importations from the ''ould sod. ,"
and the Emmets In future would have no
show against them.
Captain Fred Palmer Of the Emmeis had
t0o much confidence in his team to dread
defeat, and although admitting that the
game would prove the hardest be had ever
PLAYED. he was still positive that the En-
NETS flag would be unfurled to victory.
Lovers of the game. therefore, looked
forward to grand exhibition OF football and
mustered in large numbers long before the
hour for calling the game.
Both teams: had their friends and ad-
= mirers who were liberal in applauding the
good plays, which were n0tinfreduent.
Ii cannot be said that the Emmets played
the finest game that it is in the power of
the team to play. Their kicking was often
wild and their com bination loose and
faulty.
They were unfortunate In not having
soRe OF the men who have done grand
work for them in tie past. Among these
are John Morarty. Andrew McInerDey,
Denis Buckley and Daniel Casey.
% On the other hand, The Parnells played 8
faultless combination game. Their punch
ing and kicking were all that could be de-
sired and it was apparent from the start
that each man had been we'll trained in the
position assigned him.
Two men had to retire from the field.
Lynch Of the Parnells was disabled about
the end of the FIRST half and Tom FitZger-
aid of the Emmais during the latter part OF
second half Fitzgerald got an ugly kick in
the stomach during a scrlmmage, which
fa;tened MIN out. Lynchs place was
taken by Crdnin and Fitzgerald's by Daniel
Casey.

After i've minutes rest, play WIGS resumed,
the goals being changed. Both teams de-
termined to score, if possible, before time
was called. and during this hall the play
was much Iivelier aud more exciting.
Captain Palmer had evidently counseled
bis men, and as result their rushes were
more-cOm bin ed and carried out with some
Of their old-tim yigor.
For few minutes after play was re-
sumed the leather was never in dangerous
proximity TO either goal. But NJ. J..

directly in front of the Parnells' goal and
within few feet Of it.
