THE GAME.
Cation won the spin of the coin, and
chose TO defend the makai goal. Boyle
kicked off, passing out to Cumming. but
Simpson stepped in and sent the ball up
field. Craik returned strongly, and the
Male Ilimas were soon at the other end,
where they forced a corner, which came
to naught Cation then got away for
the Wanderers, and passing r. Ander-
son, made IA good sprint for his oppon-
ents' goal, but overran the ball and lost
1t in touch Boyle got possession of the
leather and worked it out to Munro, who
shot, but Motley saved at the expense
of a corner. Cockburn was kicking well
for the Wanderers at back, but the Maile
Ilimas were playing a robust game, and
Bolster at length crowned their efforts
Blackman and Cation tried hard to
transfer the play TO the other end, but
they could make no Roadway and the
Male Himas secured another corner,
which Boyle, who was doing some WON
derful head work, just Tipped over the
bar. A moment later, Motley was called
as he cleared his charge with two men
rushing him. Brown then got his foot
on the ball and punIed well down field
to Boyle. whose head was again brought
into action with deadly effect, and the
green and gold We're two goals up.
Things were now beginning to look bad
for the Wanderers. but Cation cheered
their spirits with another burst, until
brought up by McGiI. From McGills
return Munro carried the bali past Cock
burn and centered TO Boyle. who annexed
another point. The Male Ilimas had all
the play for the remainder of the half.
Len Qui shot past the post and soon
after Boyle bundled goalkeeper and ball
through the sticks,
HaIf-time result-Aaile Ilimas goals;
Wanderers. nil
ON the resumption OF play the Wan
derers did their level best TO reduce their
lead but shorthanded they
We're, their efforts We're of no avail. Cat
ton and Blackman broke away repeated
ly. only TO be pulled up by the Males
backs. Motley saved several shots in
clever fashion from Cumming. Craik and
Munro, but the latter at length beat him
with an oblique shot from far out, the
ball dropping nicely under the cross-bar.
Daylight then began to ran. and with the !
darkness the play deteriorated. There |
was no further scoring, and the game !
ended in favor of the Male Ilimas by !
five goals to nothing
Mr. d. W. Anderson refereed in excel |
ent fashion.
NOTES OK THE GAME.
Boyle was in great form, and makes an /
deal center. He plays the game both /
with his head and feet, and scores with |
Either extremity.
Two men short is a big handicap and if ,
Captain Cation is to win the trophy he /
should play eleven men every time.
Simpson did some tall punting and fire.
Iuently relieved the pressure with
timely kick
BIackman was in good form, hut /
should have passed ont more.
r Anderson and McGin put up their
Usual sturdy defence.
Clement was never tested once through
,ut the game. and had no opportunity to
how his ability.
Cumming and Munro combine well, and
ose no time n making for goal. Munro's
goal was a beauty.
There We're few faults to find with
lotley'S Bookkeeping. He IS Il sure catch
md premises 10 be one Of the best custo-
ians IN tn. league.
john Anderson at calf showed good |
raining and is a hard man to pass.
