Bedford 2 goals, Honolulu o.

Without exception the hnest eXhlDl-
tion of soccer ever seen here was given
yesterday afternoon at the league
grounds, when the team from the Bed
ford defeated the local team by the
narrow margin of two TO nothing
Scholey had only few chances to
show himself in action, but, when he
got those chances, ne certainly showed
where his reputation came from. In
one instance the reds rad rushed the
ball down to the Bedford goal and
score seemed certain. In this instance
6cboley showed how goalkeeper
should use his head. He caught the
ball nifty just as it was about to pass
through the goal and ran with it still
bouncing. He ran too far but he knew
that the only penalty would be an or
binary free kick and that his own men
could prevent a score. And so it turn
ed out to be.
The other shots which were made,
either went high or were easily stopped
by the clever man In goal. ley had
really only the one hard threaten to
defend, but in that instance he showed
just how great goalkeeper he is.
A Good Local Attack.
The local attack was trife superior
to that of the visitors, but the Bedford
defense was infinitely superior. Every
time the local forwards got away for
a good rush, they were broken up, save
in one or two instances when Fred
Bailey worked his famous wing shots,
all of which failed, although very close.
In wing shooting Fred Bailey was
pretty nearly outclassed by Fitzgerald,
who scored both goals and one of them
by long and hard shot from left wing
The other goal was made from a neat
center from Pyne, who lodged round
Clarke and slipped the ball to Fitz-
gerald, the latter simply rushed the
ball through and Bob Chillingworth
had never a chance to stop it.
Bob Was Very Good.
Bob played great game in goal for
the local team. He was working hard
all the time and made some famous
saves He had practically no chance
30 stop the first goal and the second
one he reached for, but slipped and the
ball lust passed above his hand.
The two outside forwards, Pyne and
Fitzgerald were the stars of the for
the backs were always there wien need
ed. Both Bradshaw and Knight did
great service and nearly always beat
the attacking side to it.
j. B. Walker was easily the star for
the local team. He played really
brilliant game and his defense was as
good as his feeding. Most of the passes
that started the Honolulu forwards on
n run xvere given hv Walker
1t was one of the cleanest and fastest
games ever seen here There was not
a suspicion of rough work throughout
the game and lit was an abiding lesson
in craftsmanship.
The Game.
The Bedford kicked off against the
wind and the ball was in Honolulu ter
ritory for only short time. The local
forwards took possession and had
threatened before three minutes OF
play had passed. 1t looked like a score
but Fred Bailey was offside and the
ball again sought the Honolulu half OF
the field.
Then there was a verv keen concert
ed rush by the local forwards. The two
Baileys and Elisha Andrews were
responsible for this, but the shot fail

Pyne's Great Shot
There was more threatening by til
Bedford team. The ball was gOip
