Rangers in a close game on the ormer's
grounds. East Newark. yesterday after
noon by a score Of 1 goal to o.
The game wns billed as the first
round of the Clan Mcdonald Cup
competition, but as the official referee
failed to appear the teams decided to play
ar exhibition. Despite the threatening
weather a crowd of fully 1000 spectators
lined the ropes and watched the game. 1t
was the first appearance of the rangers
here this season, who. strengthened by the
addition of a few new players, gave the
Clarks a hard game.
Paterson Rangers kicked off in the first
half. and after a spell of open play the
Clarks' forwards attacked and Taylor
tested the Rangers %goalkeeper with a
fast low shot. which he cleverly saved.
The Clarks continued TO have slightly the
best of play, and twenty minutes from the
start. from a scrimmage in front of the
visitors goal, Taylor registered the Clarks
point with a good shot. Again the
Clarks pressed and MCGEE let Nelson
away, but he was adjudged offside. Sew
eral times the Rangers broke away, but n
lack Of understanding among their for
wards allowed the Clarks' backs to break
up any attempt at combination play. and

Charley Fisher and McGregor, the visitors
lanky left fullback, had many interesting
bouts, the little fellow usually getting
around him to the amusement of the
crowd.
Horne and Nelson. on the clarks' left
wing, worked beautifully together, and
but for the sound defense of Wilson and
Martin would have increased the Clarks'
score.
At half time the score stood; Clark A.
A., l goal: Paterson Rangers, 0.
On resuming the Clarks forced a corner
kick which failed. and the Rangers trans
ferred play to the other end. Drinkwater
sent in a beautiful shot, which Hunt
managed TO hold. A fierce sttnck on the
Clarks' goal followed, the Rangers try
ing desperately to score, but were ultt-
mately forced back by Toman and Young.
Play continued fast and exciting to the
end, but no further scoring resulted.
Although beaten, the Paterson eleven
were by no means disgraced. They made
a good impression, and when they round
into form will be important factors in
the coming championship games.
