PARK DID NOT WIN.

The Park A. c. did not win the game
with Smyrna on Thanksgiving; or,
rather. not officially. Near the end OF
the first half the Park team was near
Smyrna's goal, when it formed re-
volving wedge. sending a man over the
line. The referee. however, had blown
his whistle. thinking the ball down
before it had crossed the line. The de-
cision is considered as unfair, as PARK
had won the game by E to 0, but the
referee refused to alter his decision.
