GOOD RUN FOR SOCCER
New York State League in the
Second Half of Schedule.
STANDING OF THE TEAMS
New York Celtic Leads in First
Division with Loss OF
ONLY One Game.

In no previous season has association
football in New York had such success
full run as this year. The splendid soccer
weather has enabled THE teams competing
In the New York State League To get
well into the second half of the schedule,
and it looks as if the official schedule
would suffer practically no arrangement.
The amateur cup ties have been SO well
managed i'm conjunction with the league
schedules that the preliminary rounds
have been disposed of, leaving only the
semi-finals and final rounds TO be played.
The standard of play continues to snow
improvement. the games this year having.
as a rule been fast and scientific. one of
the most encouraging features in the
State League series this year is the re-
markable absence Of rough work and
the apparently earnest endeavor OF play
ers and officials to keep the game on a
high plane.
An evidence Of this was TO he had in
the recent cup tie between the Macdon-
aids and CritChleys. which. in spite of
the importance of the game and the
rivalry of the teams. was as free from
or instance was to he seen i'm the st.
George-New York Celtic League game. In
spite of the strenuous rivalry OF the
teams they battled for 90 minutes to a
draw. after one of the cleanest games
ever watched
Such contests are making more friends
for the game this year than ever, and II
the clubs will keep up the good work the
future looks rosy.
The league championship is much
more open question than has been in
previous years. II is a peculiar fact that
the two teams promoted from last years
s, cond division have lost the fewest num-
Der Of points. Too much credit cannot
be accorded Gillespie. manager of the
New York Celtic team, for his ability in
getting together such good football
combination He has shown rare ability
in getting the right man i'm the right
place. At the same time considerable
credit is due Frank O'Harc and Silly
Glover for the manner in which they have
coached the team. To them the Celts
owe their mastery of the low passing
game which makes them so formidable.
The Brooklyn Ccltcs also have a fine
record. and although they have dropped
three more points they are by no means
out Of the running. The acquisition Of
Badly" Hill and johnny MacQuccn has
made a considerable difference to the
Brooklyn team The MacdOndlds were

He was questioned by Israel Ludlow
The LAWYER asked II NJ had seen the pct
ures of the last worlds series-the ones
that have caused the present clash' NC
Graw said that he had seen a MOVING
picture that looked like the second game
of the last worlds series game really
played in Boston, but he declared tldl
the picture. instead of showing the Bos-
ton baseball grounds. showed the Polo
Grounds. in this city. He was asked how
he knew this. and McGraw said that he
knew by the uniforms. The New YORK
team had a home uniform and road
uniform he said.
He was asked II the pictures were taken
with his consent, and he declared they
were not When pressed for a statement
az to whether ne was positive the pct
ures were really those of the last world s
series McGraw said that ne could only go
bv what was on the screen. The screen,
said he. bore the caption: Second Game
World Series-Playsd at Boston. The
uniforms worn wer. those of the last
season.
He was asked If he recognized any one
in the picture. and he said he had recog-
nized President McAleer OF the Boston
club sitting in box.
The picture OF the game in Boston
showed a stand with empty seats. Nc
Graw said, and ne added that this was
remarkable. as the grounds were always
packed for the game.
