TWO POINTS EACH.
The Gaelic Football Game
Was a Tie.
THE KICKS AND KICKERS.
A Closely Contested Game at the
Olympic Club Grounds-Game
at Central Park.

| The Gaelic football match on the
! Olympic Club grounds between the EN-
met and Parnell teams yesterday after
noon resulted in a tie of to points each,
without any goal being made.
As the playing was mostly confined to
the farther side of the field owing 10 the
wind and sun, many of the spectators grew
tired before it was finished.
For the first half the Emmets had all the
advantage. the wind and sun being against
the Parnells, and it was then that they
scored their two points, but the positions
were changed for the latter half, giving the
Parnells a similar advantage and a chance
to square up with their rugged antagon-
ISIS.
The Parneils made the first attempt for
goal, as soon as Referee Peter Maher
blew his whistle. but Captain Palmer
saved the ball in the nick of time. and the
sphere went to the Parnell side of the
grounds Ed Casey rushed the ball pretty
close to the Parnell goal. but Fenton
checked him. A second attempt by Casey
was just short of successful, Con Kelleher
guarding his goal sharply. Casey was
still persistent. and was only prevented
| from scoring by the combined resistance
of ConrOy, Fenton and Con Kelleher.
Finally, however. Casey. getting the ball
from Okeefe, put IL over the crossbar
WITH ett-hander, making one point for
the Emmets.
| When the ball was kicked off again the
Emmets started out with determinatio
to make goal the first thing and Mori-
arty, OKeefe and Casey, combining.
might have succeeded. but O'Keefe sent
the sphere little too high in the air. A
rush by the Parnell forwards was bravely
met by Jerry O'Dowd. and the Emmets
following up their advantage their oppo-
nents lost free kick. That resulted in
nothing for the followers of the great pat
| riot, though III fact they soon were guilty
OF similar forfeiture. MeKeon's mighty
kick made nothing Tor the admirers OF the
late Irish leader, however.
After this the Parnells combined in a
| grand rush toward the Emmett goal, but
Mescoll got the ball outOf the way and
ran it to the other side of the field. Andy
McInerney saw a splendid chance and
kicked it over Kelleher's goal, scoring the
| second point for the Emmets.
! A short breath was then taken and the
! kickerS went at 1t with renewed vigor, the
Parnellites making the most of the change
of positions. Goalkeeper Buckley barely
prevented them from putting the leather
| through. Dowd, Moriarty and O'Keefe
of the Emmets aItegward kept ii between
themselves for a little while. but Tom
| Kane saw an opening and sent the ball
with a pretty kcik just where the Emmets
could put it by their own goalpost.
Parnellite McKeon made the lost of the
| forfeited kick. except that he lifted the
leather a little too high in the air, and
made the first point for the Parnels.
This team then seemed bent upon vic
! tory, and It was only a minute or so when
! Captain j. j. Hurley put it again over the
| crosSbar and with a good straight kick,
| too. This scored point for the ParnellS
An effort of Kane to initiate Captain
Hurley was we'll intended, but not straight
enough, and in another instant Captain
Hurley himself narrowly missed the goal.
| Then Jim Cronin followed suit, with a
| left-footed kick.
The playing for while was altogether
with the Parnells. and White distinguished
himself, but Frank Creed's agility and Ed
/ Casey's rushing turned the scale, although
| Custodian Buckley had to keep keen
lookout for his uprights. Jerry 0Dowd
! secured chance at the bali after some
scrmmaging, which had ended in foul.
ana he sent it over to OKeefe, who did
| some fine running.
Captain Palmer rushed it the remainder
! of the distance over to the Parneil posts
and Andy McInerney sent the leather skim
ming along the ground into Con Kelleher's 8
! hands. But Referee Maher's whistle bic w
and the lusiy cries of goal which came
! from a number of throats were of no

tie. Notwithstanding some argument.
