TIE SCORE AT sAcHEM PARK FOOTBALL.
Norwich 3, Westerly 3, by Referees
 Mistake, in Association Game.

Westerly's confident association football team just escaped a defeat and got away with a tie score, to
 3, at Sachems park, on Saturday, through decision of Referee Tetlow, which was plainly against the rules, but gave Westerly the goal they need . ed to tie. The Norwich men developed unexpected strength and had Westerly in. the rear, to 2, when just at full
 time the referee made the decision adverse to Norwich. He called free against Norwich for accidentally hand ling by Caron Johnstone took the kick and placed into goal. Finlayson allowed 1t to go through, and as no one had touched the ball a second time, the point should have been dis allowed, but the referee ruled other wise and though afterwards admitting his mistake the result was Norwich 8, Westerly 3.
 A small. but enthusiastic crowd of rooters was present when play started at o'clock with Referee Zeck~ let low lining out the following names: Norwich-Goal, H. Andrews; backs, J. Andrews and Ferguson; halves, Cor ners, Caron and Filling; forwards, White, Finlayson, Brown, Parsons and Manville. Westerly-Goal, A. Tetlow: backs, Johnstone and Kenyon; halves, Fyfe, Jones and c. Tetlow; forwards, J. Tetlow, Robinson. Whewell Meikle. and Arnott
 against Westerly for Tetlow carrying the ball was given. Corner toow the kick and Caron drove the ball through again, scoring the first goal Again Norwich rushed to the attack and Fin layson made a beautiful dash down the field but drove past; shortly after the same player scored but the point was disallowed. The Westerly forwards again took up the running and Fin layson was once more called on to save hot handful from Robinson. a mi-kick of Andrews let in Meikle, who made no mistake. sending the ball well out of F,inlayson's reach. From the center Brown led his forwards on a nice run which Jones stemmed, but Caron, who was playing a star game at center half for Norwich. once more let his forwards away and Filling beat Tetlow with a clean shot. Half time, Norwich ? goals. Westerly l.
 On the rre-start Westerly tried to make things hum, but the fine work of the Whites defense broke them up and Manville and Parsons initiated run on the left which resulted in Fin layson driving in a hard one, but let low cleared. A foul against Finlay- son ensued but nothing came of it. Melkle made neat run, lodging three men but his final effort went wide. Westerly again returned to the attack and Whewell drove in the equalizer. The Norwich lads, stung by this reverse, played with grim determina- tion and Finlayson drove in third which put the Whites one up Then followed the disputed point
 Time, 35- minutes halves. Linesmen, F. Pierson and J. Jones.
 Regarding the third goal mistakenly awarded Westerly from a free kick, the association football rules read '9 goal can be scored from free kick taken for any infringement of rule nine, but not from any other free kick. Caron's accidental handling of the ball was not an infringement of rule nine, therefore the goal scored was illegal.
 There will be a general meeting of the Norwich A. F. c. in Taftville to- night at 7.30. Members having any of the uniforms are expected to bring them in.
