 About 1,500 people witnessed the game at the Driving park yesterday afternoon between the St Thomas Ca- dets and the Merrimacs. The CadetS won by the score of 100. Two halves of twenty and fifteen minutes respec- lively were played, the Cadets scored one touchdown in each half It was the first time that the two teams had met on the gridiron in two years and both wanted a victory. The game was hard and rough one, the Cadets win- ming by sheer strength. Their men were much heavier than the Merri- macs and this counted considerably. But the Merrimacs were plucky and fought every inch of the ground and more than pleased their supporters by Keeping the score down so low. The Cadets have a strong team, even stronger than last year. In Hoffman, Bagley and Kelly they have a trio of backs whose superiors are not playing i this city. Hoffman's playing yester- day was of the star order. As line bucker he is unsurpassed by any of the local players. The Cadets line, how ever, is not so strong as it could be and one or two positions can be improved. Reilly played good game at end but Cronin's playing was not up to his standard. With one or two exceptions the Merrimacs played good game but they were too light to beat such team as the Cadets. The playing of NJ. Byrnes and Hannon was of the star order. Neither manager had his best team on the field. Another game be- tween the two teams will be played later.
 The Cadets made their first touch down after fifteen minutes of play. They pushed the ball from about their 4O-yard line down the field with line bucks and q few plays for a touch down. The second touchdown was made in practically the same way. McNellis, end for the Merrimacs, had to retire from the game in the first half owing to a serious injury to his nose The Merrimacs' showing was all the more good, considering that the call for candidates was issued only about ten days ago. The lineup was as follows:

The Watervilles and a team from the North End of the city met on the gridiron yesterday afternoon and play ed some clever and pretty fast foot hall It was the first game between I the two teams and the North Finders proved themselves better up 1n the game and more clever in team work. The Watervil1es were a lighter team and the boys from the northern sec tion made holes through their defense. The score at the end of the game was 15 to 0. in favor of the North Finders.
