Marsh, by strong kick. sent the sphere
from midfield to near the Thistles' goal,
but they were on the alert, and. by some
DIR billing and lodging, managed TO wofE tue
ball back near the GRANTEES lines.
The bail travelled up and down some tlmr,
until Smile got a chance to run II from the
center to the GRANTEES stronghold. when
ne -wnuld have scored had the leather not
run foul of the goa-post instead OF passing
| through. 49,,
Cook shortly afterward saved the team
| by uutting a dangerous ball into corner
| but in spite of all the GRANTEES EFFORTS iitiIe
Jimmie" Irvine kicked the seconu so"i AOA
the Thistles from scrimmage.
The ThistIes = anaged after this to keep
| the ball near the GRANTEES goal for a long
time. and heroic individual efforts on the
! part of the latter we're constantly defeated
| by combination PLAYS on the other side.
Marsh was PLAYING wonderful game,
while Mclaughlin and Ewing ran and
kicked in fine style, and Patterson defended
his goal manfuly. Tire rest OF the team
showed that they understood what was eX-
pected OF them, but as Purvls ran Ike q
deer. Irvine and Smillie played grand
combination game and the POlocks em-
ployed much strategy. the new team naa
but little chance 10 win.
During a heavy Tain-shOwer the GRANTEES
braced up and for some time made IL eX-
trenely interesting for their opponents,
who appeared TO be entirely too self-eon-
scious OF their superiority. As result
Ewing managed TO kick goal for the Gran
ties, while Lumsden and Iierney STOOD De-
tween the posts trying TO keep dry behind
big 0yercOat.
Wild cheers from the grand stand proved
that the sympathies OF the audience were
with the weaker team.
For some time the game was lively Dut
uneventful Smile came across me helu,
having the ball all TO himself until David
son interfered and got promptly knocked
down by the p0sIesSOr of the sphere, VINO,
however, Immediately afterward was served
In the same manner by the irrepreSslble
Marsh.
A couple of fouls were scored against the
GRANTEES because Cook and Ewing forgot
they had feet aud monkeyed with the ball
with their hands, and before any one knew
exactly how it had happened PuTvls kicked
another goal for the Thistles.
When time for the end of the first half
was called Batchen and Tieruey were roll
ing il a mud puddle. and the score stood
To l in favor Of the Thistes.
Pollock k licked the ball eff for the This
ties when the second half commenced, and
the GRANTEES. nothing daunted by the odds
against them, came TO the front nobly, play
ing with more caution.
For quite awhile the play was kept In
front of the GRANTEES goal and Patterson
was kept busy defending his stronghold.
He proved himself fully equal TO the occa-
sion.
At this juncture the men who compose
the Wanderers team arrived from Oakland
and took seats in the grand stand, where
they constantly encouraged the GRANTEES by
their cries. Secretary Mckillop also put in
an appearance and by his presence livened
matters up considerably.
NaSs made a good run, and il TieTney had
not kicked the bali into a corner he would
have scored. The GRANTEES were not dis
couraged, aud their efforts were shortly
afterWard rewarded By NaSS scoring another
point amid cheers from the grand stand.
although this did not happen until their
opponents had two more goals, one by
Irvine and one by a mistake made BY one
OF the GRANTEES, who headed the ball through
the Thstles goal.
W. Pollock managed 10 kick another goal
for the Thislles just before time was called,
so that the final score stood 8 10 >.
There were many complimentary remarks
made after the close Of the game on the ex-
celeuce CT the GRANTEES play, who were
considered extremely fortunate 10 get two
goals against so formidable al opposition
as the Thistles presented.
The GRANTEES only played one game before
the ore played yesterday, and they say that
before many weeks have passed they will
again meet the Thistles, with entirely diff
ferenI results.
