The morning call., 1893-10-30


Emmets and the Geraldines, preliminary
to the match of next Sunday, was played
al Golden Gate Park.
The ground is almost beneath the shadow
of the Midwinter Fair buildings, and
many visitors of Concert Valley fingered
to watch the battle for possession of the
big brown sphere. At one period of the
game there were from 500 to 600 spectators.
A hard fought contest was the reward of
the onlookers. Both teams are about
equally matched and Of the same weight.
The advantage gained by either side was
merely temporary. and the match ended
with an equal number OF points to the
credit of each team.
Daniel Casey was referee and time
keeper, j. f. Lally goal umpire for the
Geraldnes. M, j. Lawless performed a
similar service for the Emmets. Neither
side scored during the earlier part of the
game. but toward the end of the first half
the Geraldines, who had hitherto been un-
able to get the ball tar from the center of
the field. edged it down toward the goal of
the Emmets. Twice the credit of his team
was saved by Mccarthy. who stopped the
ball as it was flying between the goal posts.
He was unable 10 guard all three OF the
portals under his charge, however. and the
Geraldnes scored their first point by get
ting the ball between the point posts. A
few minutes later this operation was re-
following points: Geraldines 2, Emmets 0.
In the second half DAILY, The Emmets'
captain, rallied his forces in good style,
and scored point before half the players
realized that the game mad recommended.
Then Kelly, the opposing captain, organ
lied an attacking party, which, after ten
minutes of fighting, gradually gained
vicinity of the Emmets' goal. Then the
Geraldines secured their third point.
Power, who played full forward. did
some clever work. while Perry and Lynch,
on the wings. earned many plaudits.
A second point was won by the Emmets
after another struggle, McInerney gamely
defending the Geraldines' goal. Greed for
the Emmets and Fitzgerald for the Ger
aIdnes were constantly in the thick of the
fray, where they did good service for their
respective teams. The Emmets were par
ticularly strong on the wings. in which
station Fenton repeatedly distinguished
himself. just before time was called Cap
