The "Hibs" should have q splendid
chance of entering the final for the first
time since the Irishmen Joined the COM
petition, as they are practically the
of the elevens In the tourney
when playing on their own lot. Tacony.
last years winner of the cup seems to
be a little off form since the beginning
of the year, but there Is every lkeli.
hood that they will rise to the occasion,
which would bring both the local teams
pitted against each other In the final
round II the Hibernians trim Ansonia.
The Howard and Bullough and True
Blues met on two previous occasions In
he third round without being able to
settle which should have the right to
battle In the semi-inal. AS the rules or
the association call for a neutral ground
ut the third meeting IL was decided that
the game should be played on the
grounds of the West Hudsons, at Har-
rison oval.
"scots" Play AZ Connecticut.
The Scottish Americans objected to
play Ansonia at Connecticut on ac-
count OF the club not having enclosed
grounds. After a great deal of discus
sion II was decided that the game be
PLAYED as originally scheduled ON the
grounds OF Ansonia. The date for the
match will be either the 2lst or 22d OF
this month. Celtic appealed against the
decision of the Pennsylvania League, IN
allowing the league game with Tacony
to stand as played. and II was laid over
until the next meeting to give the
Pennsylvania League an opportunity
of being represented. The Celtic DELE
gate, McAllister, lodged n appeal
stating that the league failed TO NV up
to it's rules In awarding the game 10
Tacony, when the referee failed TO ap-
pear at the scheduled time, The game
was not started on time, according TO
the rules and should not have counted
In the league standing.
A protest was also heard from the
Thlstles In their cup game with Tacony.
Delegate Brown. Of the Scotchmen was
of the opinion that Fleming. who played
| outside-left for Tacony. was not Gig
ible, as he was a signed player IN the
New England League and Tacouy had
| failed to apply for his transfer In the
| proper form. Campbell. who repre-
scented last years cup winners. produced
a letter from the secretary OF the Fore
| River Club. of Quincy. Mass. allowing
| Fleming to assist any team outside OF
the Boston District League. Alter a
heated argument. Tacony carried tho
| vote. but only by IL to IL.
Waldron. the former Tacony- Thistle
| eft fullback. who is playing with
| Paterson True Blues this season, vas
reinstated.
