HORNETS TO MEET

Last of Semi=FinaIS i'm Soccer
Cup Competition Prom
iSeS Excitement
By BOB SHAND

The Albion Rovers having applied
the crusher to the Building Trades, the
last of the semifinals in the soccer cup
competition will be pulled off this aft
ernoon. The Hornets and Thistles will
provide the sport and the game will
take place at Freemans park.
This is surely game which gives
promise of providing an abundance
gained repuuations for hard and de-
termined playing. There is no par
ticuIar cieverness visible in the COM
bination of either side, but it has been
the rule that when the Insects and
Scots line up. more excitement is
jammed into the hour and half of
play than is seen in two games be-
tween clever teams.
Pomeroy and Wood have had the
boys out on the cinders for a week or
two and the strictest of training rules
have prevailed in both camps.
The composition of the teams is
being kept a dark secret by both man
ayers and it is rumored that several
dark horses may be trotted out. At
that however. the reticence of Pom
eroy and Woods in regard to the doingS
of the players will not help the gate
receipts any, as the fans want to know
something ABOUT the teams before they
pay their good money at the gate.
Sam Goodman, secretary of the asso-
citation, is responsible for the state
ment that Elliott will play for the
Hornets. but Pomeroy refuses to either
corroborate or deny this.
The final game will be played Sun
day, May 16. either at the Ocean Shore
grounds or Freeman's park, the matter
to be decided at a meeting of the as
sociation to be held this week. The
officials for today's game are ]. Chown,
referee; ]. Askham and L. Patterson.
