only one of the local teams in
the National League to score a
win yesterday afternoon. The Scottish
American and the Newark f. c. aggre-
cation bowed to their opponents. The
Paterson Rangers succeeded in marring
the clean slate OF the Brooklyn F. c..
eleven by winning a close game.
The gane played between the Wilber-
force and the West Hudson elevens.
though we'll attended, was too one-sided
to hold the interest of the enthusiasts
who had the hardihood to stand and
shiver through h first half. Drawing
the icy blasts that swept across Harri-

score stood Z to ] in favor of the Hud-
sons, and the league leaders had added
another pair of points to their credit in
the standing of the league. Aided to a
certain extent by the wind the winners
kept the ball in the Patersonian teams
territory. SO hal when the half ended
the Hudsons had accumulated a big
five to their credit, while the eleven
from the Silk City was held scoreless.
A long drive by Mckay gave Lennox
the ball at a point of vantage near the
visitors goal and he made the shot.
scoring the first goal of the game within
ten minutes after the starting whistle
had been sounded. A few minutes later
a corner kick gained by Knowles en-
abled Sedan to make it two-nothing by
making u successful shot, after he re-
ceived a pass from Knowles.
The third goal was scored by Nelson
when Davis made an error in gnaging
the ball. Before the first period of play
had been terminated, Lennox and
Shanks added two more to the credit of
their team.
With the beginning of the second half
the Hudsons had to battle against the
wind, and only succeeded in adding two
more goals to their score. The Wilber-
force boys just managed to escape a
shutout by. scoring a goal near the end
of the game. Nelson scored the sixth
goal for the league leaders on a pretty
shot. There was some rough playing
around this time, and Shanks was
warned by the referee. The seventh
and last tally made by Lennox on a
pretty shot was the extent of the scor-
ing and the Wilberforce team, as a re-
suit of the defeat, is now occupying a
last position berth.
At West Side Park, Jersey City, the
Jersey A. c.. team conquered the New
ark F. C. players by a score OF four
goals to none. The Newarkers fought
gamely, but were unable to cope with
the team work of the Skeeter combina-
ton, while the excellent defensive work
of Wagner at goal for the home team
was a stumbling block to the local boys
whenever they attempted to score.
The Scottish-ATnerieans were also
blaEked, bowling to the True Blues at
Willard Park, Paterson. 10.
This contest proved to be a great ex-
hibition. The Blues secured the ball
on the kickoff and rushed down toward
the Newarkers' goal. Stevenson made
a nice try for goal, but Epslin cleared
cleverly. Both teams then had the ball
alternately, but though McNee's men
had the wind at their backs they could
not get the ball into the net. Near the
end of the half Morel finally succeeded,
after several Intellectual attempts. in
getting the ball past Epslin for the only
goal of the game. The Scots fought
hard to even up matters in the second
half, but all of their attempts were of
no avail. Epslin played a great game
for the losers.
All of the scoring in the Brooklyn
Ranger game was confined to the sec
ond half. Abhau scored first for the
Paterson boys and a penalty kick by
gave the Ranger team the win
goal. Wolfe scored the only goal
for the Brooklyns.
The Philadelphia Thistles forfeited
their second round in the American
Cup tie by their failure to put in. an
appearance to play h Fall River
on Saturday.
