----- H
Big Crowds st nearly all the Inter
city Junior Amateur Soccer League
games attest the success and popularity
of this organization. The large"crowd
which attended the Eureka-Marshall
game Yesterday morning was crafty
ing and encouraged the players 10 per-
form brilliantly. The Pomeroy Thistles
now lead the league, with the Eurekas
and Marshalls tied for second, respet-
lively. A meeting of the league has
been called for Friday night at SD
Broad street to consider a protest
made by the Thomas A. c.. against the
victory recorded over them by the
Marshalls last week.
At Riverside oval, Kearny, yesterday
morning. the feature game of tine hith
round of this league was played in the
presence of over $500 spectators, a new
attendance record fer junior games.
The contesting sides We're the Eureka
A.. AS and the Marshall A. A., both of
Kearny. The former eleven was re-
turned a winner by the score of | TO o.
sending them into a second place Tie
The game WAS one of the fastest ana
most brilliantly played that the soccer
patrons in this locality have witnessed
this season i'm either the Junior or Sc
nior leagues. and it. is a question ii
ever two more evenly matched clubs
could be found than the two that
played.
The distinct feature of Yesterdays
contest between these Two elevens was
the spectacular and strenuous playing
of Goal Keepers Carney and Fields, me
last named players performance being
the best witnessed hereabouts since
the visit of Lemoine, who played thai
position with the celebrated Pilgrims
during their visit here last fall.
The one goal scored on Fields yes
terday was next to impossible TO clear.
and he did well to even stop 1t, as the
speedy forwards of the EuTekas gave
him no chance to receive after making
the stop. It was an easy matter for
them TO tally. In fact, 1t was the
PLAYING of both these stars that kept
the score down to its final figures.
The Eurekas won the toss and Sc
leeted the south goal to defend, whicn
gave them the advantage of having a
strong wind in their favor, and the u
in their opponents eyes for the first
half.
The game opened with the Marshalls
getting possession of the ban, and for
the first ten minutes play caused the
back division of the Eurekas all kinds
of trouble. During this time they
scored a goal, which was disallowed b.
Referee Johnston on account of off
side play by Ingram. and this decision
brought forth a vigorous protest by the
players and followers of the M~arshalls,
..lsA DnFnraa TnhnCtnn took No no.
tice of and ordered play to be re-
sumed.
At this period the play shifted, and
for the next twenty minutes the Eure-
kas kept up a continual bombardment
of the Marshalls' goal, and seldom, on
any of the local ovals, has such speed
and perfect combination playing been
witnessed as was shown by these
youngsters, and only for the grand de-
fensive playing of the Marshalls' backs
and Goal-keeper Fields the score would
have been a large one against the
Marshalls.
Eurekas Get 10 Work.
After thirty-fve minutes playing the
forward line Of the Eurekas carried the
ball on a fast rush nearly the length
of the field. and when within ten yards
of the Marshalls' goal, J. Winston
passed to A. Winston, who shot so
true and fast that Fields lost his bal
ance in knocking down the ball, an!
before he could recover the ball vas
booted through for the winning and
only goal.
The next ten minutes play was OF
the give and take order, with no re
suits.
The score at the end of the first half
was: Eurekas ], Marshalls 0. The sec
ond half was all in favor of the a
shalls. but the strong defensive play
ing of the Eurekas' back division, and
the clever work of Carney, their goal
keeper, so effective. made it impossi-
BILE for the Marshalls to score, and
after forty-hv minutes of the fastest
playing seen in the locality for many
a day. the Marshalls Went down 10
defeat by the score of / to Q.
Mr.. Johnston refereed a most excel
lent game, and considering the intense
rivalry between the two e%levens. his
