The Warren and Pennsylvania Rail
road Y. Nj. q. A. teams played on the

was fair and the game was interesting
from start to finish. All OF the local
mon showed up well, and those who saw
the contest were we'll pleased. One of
the features of the game was a 40 yard
run, which was made by Mears in the
second half, In the frat half neither
side scored. although Warren made good
gains through the visitors limo and

The team of the recently organized
Wilmington Athletic Association made
its debut On the Riverview grounds,
and, although the attendance was not
at all encouraging, made splendid
showing, which will no doubt result in
drawing larger crowds hereafter. The
team WAS made up of some OF Whining
toms best players, with some new
material, and decidedly favorable i'm.
preston was created.
The game was lively from beginning
to end, and the locale found that they
had no walk-over with the team from
the Kenilworth Wheelmen, which has
evidently been doing some praGticing.
BY hard work the locals made a
touchdown in the first half. but Mill.
gan failed to kick goal. The lineup
was as follows:

the absence of Marvel, who is iii. The
men on the visitors line weighed l07
pounds more than those on the Della.
