FROM COUNTRY RINK

By a score Of 3 to the Atlantic City

team at the Country Rink last night
and the victory won by the visitors
came somewhat as a surprise TO the
locals.
The Jersey boys showed great inl-

last appearance here ana their work
almost carried the Springs boys off OF
their feet at times. The Springs men
scored their one goal in the iirst half
in one minute and 20 seconds of play,
Cloward making the drive The Wis
itors scored two goals in the second.
One foul was declared against the
Springs team when Greenwood at
centre struck the ball while he was
down on the floor.
The locals had several opportunities
10 score. and no less than fifteen trys
were made by them for their oppon-
ents goal, but the defense of the At
lantic City men was excellent.
Next Saturday night the Springs
team will play the Mt. Washington
team from Baltimore at the Country
Rink. This club stands second to the
Maryland Athletic Club In the Balti-
more City League It will be their
first appearance in this city.
