JERSEY TEAMS
IN THREE TIE
GAMES

All three Of the intercity soccer matches
between teams Of this section and those of
Philadelphia in the Quaker City yesterday
resulted in tie scores. The Hibernians and
Clark A. A. tied at two goals; Corinthians
and True Blues at three goals. while
neither the Thistle nor Scottish Americans
could score. Charley Danks's sensational
abled the Hibernian team to tie the Clark
A.. A.. of East Newark. 1t was the fourth
meeting OF the e%levens. Clark having won
two. Hlbs one and tied one.
The first period ended a tie at one goal.
Neither side scored again until within
three minutes of the finish, when following
some hard pressing by the Irishmen. Mill
Ter dashed down the field and on a quick
pass to Fisher the latter rushed the ball
into the goal. The Hibs brought the ball
10 the Clark goal mouth. where after an
exciting defense, in which Hunt and Tow
man In turn prevented goals, banks, by a
wonderful effort ten yards away on the
north touch line, put the ball high up
into the southwest corner of the net. The
shot was one of the neatest ever executed
on the grounds,
The game was clean and fast. Only one
corner occurred and McGee's kick which
proved worthless was a grounder. Clark
lost some of their splendid team play by
a shifting OF the forwards, MCGEE and :.
Fisher changing positions at centre and in
side right. Miller and Cluny were new
man also. Mason, the fullback, was re-
placed by Caiicott. Danks played centre
forward for the local team In place Of
O'sweeney. Roach played outside right.
The Hibs were the more active but the
Jerseymen were surer-footed and their eff
forts showed. at times, more skill. The
grounds were in fine shape when Jack
O'Brien FOOTED the ball for the Hibs to-
ward the east goal, The Quaker players
were the aggressors and were wide on
many shots. After fifteen minutes Robin
son slipped a goal through amid up
r~oarious applause. The Jerseymen got q
corner, and Goalkeeper Clark cleyerly de-
Tended his position. Wilson blocked a low
try by Fisher, but the cup champions
worked a quick passing movement, McGee
to Miller. Pete Wilson claimed offside
as the latter melted the ball, which Goal
keeper Clark made no effort to stop.
A neat trick play by Goalkeeper Hunt
prevented the Hibs scoring on a penalty.
Callcutt touched the ball within the goal
area, and a second before banks tried for
goal Hunt shifted over toward the right
side of the goal, leaving a big opening
toward the left. AS banks attempted to
Kick the ball there Hunt quickly jumped
across, and, catching the ball, kicked 1t
into midfeld. banks punted high over the
goal on long-distance kicks.
After the restart Nelson dribbled the
ball away from Black, Bianey and also
Jenkins, but shot wide. 1t was a clever
piece of work and won applause. Black
made a splendid cross shot, and Roach
failed by a few inches in his effort TO head
Smedley's cross try. Charley Fisher was
kicked on the ankle, but resumed play.
Then Fisher scored and banks saved the
day.
Towman and Calicutt played a strong de-
fensive game. Tile Hibs may play Clarks
at East Newark next Sunday.
