is BEST COMBAT YET
By THE REFEREE.

II may be a Long. Long Way to Tip
perary" but 1t didn't take a long time
for the Tipperary hurting team TO get
line on the Limericks on the Rovers'
Field, Potomac Park. yesterday, beating
the Limericks by a score OF goals
to goals.
The Tipperaries didn't outplay the
Limericks in the first one-half hour. but
outjudGed them by a large margin be-
cause every place the ball dropped II
had Long Hayman" right there to
puck" 1t a little farther.
That the Limericks didn't realize the
skill of their opponents was plain to be
seen, for after the first half OF the Linn
ricks changed their men, and II made
big difference in their play, holding
the Tipps to one goal in the second half
and scoring twice the amount to the
credit OF the Limericks.
Had the Limericks made the change
sooner the score OF both teams would
have been easier TO count.
II was the hardest-fought game seen
on Potomac Park since the Washington
Rovers organized. The leather-covered
pill had no time to get "mouldy," nor
had the referee, Gus" Curtin, any spare
time to say hello TO the spectators; he
was kept busy doing the hot foot" to
keep in line with the bah. Curtin says
he never saw a hall carried so fast
In his life with such a small amount of
foul plays,
The club deserves a lot OF credit dur
ing these carly days to say they can
play a game like the one yesterday and
have two lonesome fouls" TO its credit
The fouls were evenly split and were
also unintentional. T. Turley getting
"a a-fN -
Tipperary and ]. Healy the other for
Limerick
The score would have been n tie had
Pete Healy his batting eye, for Pete
missed scoring two pucks 20 yards from
the goal. which Is unusual for him. Pete
had a new sweater that looked a bit
tight and might have had some effect on
his misjudgment. Not knocking you
Pete,
Devauey seemed to he the dark horse
of the day. coming through with two
successive goals in the first quarter for
'Tipps." Cahill started the good work,
scoring the first goal In eleven minutes,
but. remember. he didn't quit playing,
for the Tipperaries were so taken back in
the second half they thought 1t ad-
visable b put a reliable man on their
goals and Cahill was called. They
seemed TO play with much greater ease
when they saw Big Bill on guard
a loud ''hurrah" was heard before the
game started. Nobody knew the cause
until 1t was found that Mike Lynch had
donned his ColoTs TO Join his native
countrymen and WELD the stick once
more In a hurting game.
Mike showed the youngsters on the
side line how to ''trot," and only lack OF
experience prevented him from being a
star in yesterdays game.
Mike was greeted cnthUsia sticaIly be-
cause he is known in Washington as a
supporter Of any genuine game. When IL
comes to sport. Mike Is there. He SAYS
his exercise yesterday was TO help him
get in shape for n marathon The PLAYERS
who did the scoring yesterday were Ca
hill. Devaney. O'Connor. Sullivan. Keane
and Hurley. The Tipperary team was
challenged by Galway for a game next
Sunday and the offer was accepted with
loud applause
The game will be called at ; p. m. A
lot OF excitement is expected, as Galway
claims they'll slip 1t over on the "Tipps, -
but the 'Tipps" is a team that is hard
to beat
