KERRY HURLERS WIN
IN CLUB MATCH GAME

Kerry got revenge on the Clare team
In the Washington Hurting Clubs match
game yesterday at the Potomac Park
field by a count OF two goals and two
points TO one point. II will be remem-
bered that In the last club match the
Clare team came through the battle with
flying colors, but the Kerry crew tight
ened their grips on the sticks yesterday
and played a wonderful defensive game.
The game was one Of the fastest held
on the polo field this season. Clare had
the disadvantage of the sun In the first
half which made the judging of fly balls
dificult. and the Kerry outfit shot one
goal and two points in this session.
Beginning the second half. Kerry rush
ed the Glare goal, but through the timely
work of Healy the ball was played back
into midfield. O'Dowd finally got the
hurlie and shot II to night field, from
which position Devaney scored. Clare
played a great uphill game. but the Kerry
crew proved too good for them.
