The football teams Of tho EliEabeth and
Orange Athletic clubs came together yesterday
afternoon at Orange Oval for tho second time
this season 10 settle tho question Of supremacy.
Orange came out victorious by the narrow mar
gin OF two points. the score being Orange, 81
Elisabeth, 4.
Last year two games were played, one at
Orange and tho other at Manhattan Field with
out definite conclusion. and on election day,
this year, another tie game was played. There
was the keenest interest in the game yesterday,
and tho grounds were filled to overhowing.
The Elizabeth adherents seemed to outnumber
those OF Orange. as everywhere the white and
blue predominated, whilo tho we'll organized
cheering and songs Of Elizabeth were noticeable
features.
It was evident from the start that the game
would be bitter contest IL played at all. BY
this 1t 10 meant that the management of both
teams had wranglcd up to within few min
utes OF the time for play over officials. Orange
refused to play II DIR. Josh Hartwell acted as
umpire, and Manager Coyne Of Elizabeth
fused to play the game unless he was accepted.
Tho matter was finally compromised by Hart

gin that the result did not terminate in another
tie. Elizabeth had the easiest sort of chance to
kick a goal after making touchdown. but
missed It by about two feet
The game was ono Of the flercest seen In this
vicinity this year, but the officials held tho
players well in check. There were numerous
instances Of slugRing. and most glarinR at that.

this, Mohor was caught paying compliment to
Hopkns by vicious uppercut that sent the
Elizabeth end rush spinning on one ear. He,

breaks that escaped the eyes of the officials. and
nearly every player on both teams will sport
decorated eye for several days. Fortunately no
one was injured seriously, which was quite re-
markable. considering tho rouRhness Of play.
There was considerable speculation as to tho
probable lineup OF both teams Rumors had 1t
that Orange, In particular. would be reinforced
by several star men. 1t is fact that orery effort
was made to secure Chadwick Of Yale and
Kelly and Barnard of Princeton to play at
Orange. Comment was most unfavorable for
adopting such methods, while Elizabeth was
commended for playing practically the samo
mon all season. The team work of Elizabeth
was far better than that shown by Orange.
