Gaelic Football Out at
Haigl1t Street.
The Emmets Play All Round the
O'Briens-A Disappointing Game
for the Spectators.

The game of Gaelic football yesterday at
the Haight-street grounds between the En-
NETS of this city and the O'Briens of Oak
land was a one-sided affair all through.
This was plainly shown in the score, which
read l goal and Il points for the Emmets
against point for the OBriens.
A preliminary game at ! p. NJ. was played
between the Little Sherldans and the second
team of the ParnellS, which resulted in ia
vor of the Parnells by a score of to ..
Perry of the Australians with Duggan and

Tie field umpire for the O'Brens was Z.
J. White, and the goal umpires d. Healey
and c. 10omey. For the Emmets the field
umpire was r c. O'COnnor, tile goal um-
piIes ". Buckley and j. MeIwin. Captain
Hurley OF the PaTnells was referee.
The Emmets won the toss, and at 2 As
p NJ chose the east side, with the sun IN
their eyes to start Ia with.
Notwithstanding this disadvantage, how
ever, they at once carried the leather
toward the . BTieus' goal, where, in very
short order. timely punt by Dewane OF
the Emmets. assisted by Kelly, enabled
Jerry 0'Dowd Of the Emmets 10 score the
first point for that club.
This was soon seen 10 be an augury for
the rest OF the game. for the Emmeis gained
point after point, the play being always in
their opponents half Of the field.
t. Casey was the next TO score. followed
by two points made by O'D0wd and an
other by Casey.
The black uniforms relieved with green,
characterziDg the O'Briens. were to receive
another heavier blow from the boys in sage
green, representing tile Emmets.
There was hardly any ground recovered
after Casey's point, and after bout Of
lively play the scorer OF the last point again
distinguish he'd himself by securing the bail
and passing II neatly to Jerry O'DOwd, who
kicked goal amid wild applause from bis
admirers.
O'Keeffe made yet another point for the
Emmets before half time when The sphere
was very close 10 the winning teams goal.
at this point of The game the Emmets led
by one goal and six points to nothing, and
the 0'Bricus were feeling blue. Several OF
their men had played q gallant uphill
game, among them being notably Cronin,
Coakiey, Barry. Desmond aud OConn0r.
After d short respite the black Jerseys
lined up again with evident determination
to avert the impending defeat by resolute
pay.
Their play, however, was too aisjointed
and unsystematic 10 compete with that Of
the more Iracticed Emmets. who sleediIy
bore them down toward their points.
Kelly OF the Emmets WAS the first to
score, and his point wasi followed by four
others for his team, two Of which were
made by 0'Keeffe and one by Kelly.
little relief from the mOnotonY OF En-
met success was afforded by Captain Des-
mOnd of the O'Brens, no with a we'll
directed kick made a pOint-their ouly one
for the team he commanded.
The point was surprise to the Emmets,
but the new departure came too late TO be
Of much advantage 10 the 0Briens, the
game closing with score Of 1 goal II points
for the Emmets against 1 point Tor the
OBriens.
The latter team attributed their defeat to
lack Of practice. They had previously been
vanQuished by the Emmets and Parnells,
but have confidence that with experience
they will soon give any team in the league a
hard struggle.
Among the Oaklanders who were singled
out for excellent play IN the second ralf
we're: Desmond, Courtney, Barry Heafey,
J. Cronin, Spllane and Coakley.
In the morning the Gaelic Football Asso-
citation met and there were appointed the
following official referees from each club:
J. 7. MoriaFty OF the Emmets, John Pur-
cell of the General ShefidaDs, L. TObin Of

eral committees were also appointed, that
on rules consisting Of OConnor, Purcell
and Dennigan.

game al the Haight-street grounds between
the second team of the Emmeis and the
SheTidans 10 be followed by the main con-
test between the Parneils and the Sarsfields
Of Port Costa, which is expected 10 be an
evenly balanced match.
