Yonkers curriers'. The Empire City men won
their match by n score OF 80 to 80, after n spir-
tied contest, through the excollont work Of the
first rink. Tho Yonkers men won handily In each
rink and gained a comparatively easy victory
over the Thistles. The score was 81 to II. The
second round was between the Empire City and
Yonkcrs clubs and proved exciting from start 10
finish. The score In the first rink was n tie,
90 TO 20, and the struggle In the second rink was
so close that the game was in doubt until the
last stone was played. The score was Fl TO II in
favor of Yonkers. The same team won the
game by Al to 81.
