The Scottish Americans won their first
game in the National League champion
ship series yesterday, defeating the New
ark Football Club at the Vailsburg board
track, 5 goals to 4.
The gam was a acknowledgements
one throughout, the large number of goals
scored being a feature which the 500 spec
tators thoroughly enjoyed. The Scots gave
their best display this season and sur
prised the Newark eleven by their az
gressiveness. Lew Miller, of last sea-
sons West Hudson eleven, played his
first game for the Scots, and greatly
strengthened the forward line, scoring
three goals. The Newarks were short
Leggett at fullback and their clever little
right winger, Murphy. Miller, late of the
True Blues. who has been signed by New
ark. took Beckett's place in goal, but dlo
nothing particularly brilliant.
In the first half the Scots had slightly
the hest OF matters and succeeded in scor-
ing twice, Lew Miller getting the first
point, which was followed by another from
Cragie. Fenwick scored for Newark IN
this half.
The Newarks started off very fast in
the second half, Mckay and higgins both
scoring. The Scots kept working hard
however, and Lew Miller, tied the score
with a good shot. Again the Scots for
wards attacked their opponents goal ana
were awarded a penalty kick for Hines
tripping Lew Miller. TIL latter took the
kick and easily beat his namesake in the
Newark goal. Keeping up the pressure, the
Scots gained a corner. Miller placed the
ball beautifully, and Garley and Smith
did the rest, the result being the Scots
fifth goal. Newarks now had their turn
and after a spell of play in front Of the
Scots goal, in a scrimmage gained their
fourth point. The remaining period OF
play was fought out in the Scots terri
tory, the Newarks gaining several corner
kicks, but failed in their efforts to IN
crease their score.
