The Pelham Bay sailors and the
Armed Guard from the Brooklyn navy
yard battled to a scoreless tie on the
South Field gridlron yesterday after
noon. Pelham Bay looked like the bet
ter football team. 1t was the same
powerful eleven which defeated the
Granite State team last week. 1t bat
tered and tore the Guards lire to pieces
while the ball was in midheld. but at
critical stages II lacked the punch neces-
sary to carry the ball owe. che goal line
Tue Pelham Tars were the aEgfessors
at all stages OF the contest and several
times had the ball within striking dis
lance Of the Guards line. But on each
occasion the defence Of the Guards stiff-
ened, and with this brace came mediocre
playing by the gobs.
King Lear in Pelham's oackheld
played a spectacular game, and DURING
the last few minutes OF play looked as
II he we're going to carry his team 10
victory The old Villanovan got away
for a twenty yard run around right emu
and carried the ball to the Guards 80
ward line. He followed this up with a
dash through centre for sixteen yards
Ford then TANNED his way through
tackle for a gain Of half n dozen yards
ana a forward pass from Lear to Hagen
mt the ball on the Brooklyn team
yard line.
Pelham Loses Ball.
There Pelham attempted series OF
piunges through the line, but they gained
little and the ball went TO the Guaros
on their yard line. Hamilton then
kicked and the danger of Pelham scor-
ing seemed over. But II wasn't
IJndaunted Pelham came back with
another threatening attack. Oed caught
Han,lton's punt in midfeld and by a
snectacular and brilliant run carried
.he bali back to the Guards 25 yard line.
with only a few seconds to play left oed
went back for a drop kick. The oaIi
came TO him on a poor pass and his Kick
went low and the whistle ended the con-
test before play could be resumed.
In the fret quarter Pelham had the
bah almost all the time. but did not get
within striking distance VI lhelI oPpoH7
ents' line.
King Lears team carried the sphere
to the Armed Guards 10 yard mark In
the second period. but at that point they
were held for downs. Again in this pc
Rod the Pelham tars got within a Few
yards OF the coveted line, but the whistle
ended the advance.
Guards Threaten I'm Third.
The Armed Guards failed to make a
single first down in the entire game and
only once did they threaten to score
That was in the third period. Davis
recovered Lear's tumble OF bad pas
by Wakefield on Pelham's S5 yard line
Three plunges against the line failed &c
gain a yard and the Guard attempted a
forward pass. Lear intercepted 1t or
his own As yard mark. but he wa:
thrown out of bounds and fumbled the
ball, Davis recovering 1t for the Guard
During the remainder Of the session th'
ball remained in mtdfleld.
In the fourth period the ball play
practically was In midfeld until Lea
broke loose and led Pelham in the drive
and carried them to within a few yard!
OF their object point.
While the game was fast and replett
with brilliant plays there were man!
fimbles. The lineup:
