Four National League contests were de-
cided yesterday. The Newark club
strengthened its hold ON first place by
gaining two points from the Newark
Hearts. By defeating the Hollywood
Inns the Paterson Rangers continue
pressing the leaders, the Rangers being
a good second. The True Blues easily de-
feated the Scottish-Americans and the
Jersey A, c. gave the Clan McDonalds a
severe drubbing.
AT Morris Park yesterday the Newark
Football Club gained another two points
in the league competition, defeating the
Newark Hearts by the score of 3 goals to
0. About. 800 spectators saw the game,
which was devoi of any special features,
the play at times being rather dull. The
Newarks, after their hard game in the
American Cup ties at Philadelphia ON
Saturday, decided to give several of their
players a rest, the Leggett brothers,
Kemp and Montgomery being absent. The
substitutes, however, did good work. and
although the Hearts gave the league lead
ers 4 strong fight in the first half, the
Newarks proved their superiority in the
second period.
In the first half the Hearts had the adj
vantage of the wind at their backs and for
some time kept the Newarks on the de-
f~ensive, and Miller had to extend himself
several times to save. Buchan was prom
inent on the Hearts right wing and had
two good shots at goal. Ultimately New
ark broke away and had a turn at at
lacking, Dixon stopping a good shot from
Piggins. Cowden haa several good runs
n on one occasion gave j. Murphy an
easy chance to score, but the latter shot
wide.
During a hot scrimmage in front of the
Hearts goal Dixon did good work, sew
eral times preventing the Newarks from
scoring. Tweedie and Smith, on the
Hearts left wing. put in some clever work
and gave the Newarks' backs a lot of
trouble, but were unable to get the bail
past Miller. Shortly before half time
Graham had a good run for Newark and
shot straight at Dixon, who listed the ball
away. When half time arrived neither
side had succeeded in scoring.
In the second half, with the wind In
their favor, the Newarks Immediately got
busy and in five minutes Cowden scored
their first goal. Another run by the New
arks followed and in attempting to clear
his goal Scott miskicked, allowing Newark
a second point. NeWarks' third goal was
another gift, Totten this time being the
guilty one, the ball gliding off his foot
through his own goal. The Newarks tried
hard to increase their score. Fenwick and
Cowden having lots of chances, but the
fine tackling and strong kicking of Stew
enson, TIE Hearts left fullback, prevented
further damage.
