Madison street grounds yesterday after
noon by q score Of so after the toughest
and most unsportsmanIike game ever
seen in this city, in which the spectators
who were interested in Port Townsend
took part 10 the extent Of their ability.
The visitors. lis strong. arrived on the
steamer WilIaps about noon. and came 20
the ground. rejoicing in their Drawn ard
IN brass hand which they had hIred for
the occasion.
From the very beginning Is Was seen
that the game would be an earnest one,
but few realized in what q manner the en-
thusiasm would be expressed Abuse OF
the home team and OF the umpire abounded
from start TO finish and the Townsend
team evidently emulated the exsmple of
''the blacksmith" who apparently mis-
took the members of the home team for
his accustomed anvil, IS few of its mem
bers failed to display evidence OF MS
prowess after the game. The club eleven
deserves all credit for its fair and gentle
manly conduct under the circumstances.
and If any charges of Singing" can be
brought against any of the members IL was
only under the greatest provocation.
In the first half the home team scored
two touchdowns, the first By Abrams and
the second by Russell. from which Mey-
denbsuer failed TO kick goals. and the
score stood at the end of the first half so
in favor of the Athletic Club. In the
second half the Port Townsend's superior
weight seemed TO tell. and no points were
scored by either side. although the ball
was within . yard of Port Tognsend's
goal when time was called.

colt and w. Delaniy, for Port Townsend.
and by Abrams. Boyd. Maydenbauer and
G. Russell for the Athletic Club.
In the first half the Athletic Club took
the west goal and the Townsends the ball
and kicked of. Westlake returned the
bali and after small gains and loss of the
bail by each side Westlake made twenty
yards around right end. On the next
play T. Wyckoff made good tackle for
loss and Seattle kicked. Leighton fol-
lowed with q good run and ten yards was
added for Sea,tle's off-side play. but on
the play Boyd got through and took the
ball from Cobb. Westake was injured
and left the field. Holcomo took Abrams
place and the latter went to half back.
Cobb made q foul tackle and ten yards and
the ball was given 10 Seattle. Then
Abrams went over the line for the first
touchdown and Meydenbauer failed to
kick goal. Score, 40.
Leighton kicked of, and Meydenbauer
and Russell fumbled the ball and il went
10 Port Townsend on the clubs twenty
ward line. The Townsends soon lost the
ball, however. and the club carried it TO
the twsnty-eight-yard line. where twenty
five yards for another of Cobb's foul
tackles and Russeil's plunge through the
line resulted in the second and last touch
down scored in the game. Meydenbauer
failed to kick goal. and the score was so
in favor of the Athletic club.
Neither goal was seriously in danger
during the rest of the first half. and the
only feature was the abusive language of
Lawrence. Port Townsend's left guard. to
the umpire.
In the second half neither side scored.
and. in spite of good gains by Abrams,
Meydenbauer and Russell. the Port
Townsend team displayed better defense,
broke through the line and stopped Seat
ties interference much more effectively.

hauer's run of forty yards around the left
end and across the line, which was called
back for off-side play, and Walthers'
plunge through the line for thirty-hvs
yards on fake kick. George Russell was
injured towards the erd of the half and
". b. Goodwin took his place at fall-back.
The game ended with the ball in the clubs
hands within one yard OF Port Townsend's
line.
Feeling ran high both among the spec
tators and the players at various times
during the game and the cries and yells OF
the Townsendites were answered by a
crowd of club enthusiasts with the follow
ing calls
DO they. do they, do they know the game,
Who do. who do. whor
Port Townssnc-So, no, no.
Or. instead of the last line:
