JOHN HENDERSON
 \ HARD WORKER.

O'Grady started the second half and the Thisues went off with a bang and looked like scoring in the first minute but Smink failed at the last moment. Some fine passing between Broughton. Miller and O'Grady al- most brought about the downfall of the Winchester's goal but the ball went behind and the opportunity was lost The Winchester team next took up the attack and some good pass ingk and combination between Smith, Dickson and Cassidy troubled the Thistle defense but Wagner and Mil ugan were playing 8 strong and pow erful game and prevented them from getting dangerous time after time.
 Young Johnny Henderson was get ting through a, lot of hard work and what he lacked in inches he made up for in determination and vigor as the Winchester players knew well be- fore the game was over. Dickson for the Winchester team was the great est player on the field and he was a source of trouble all through the game to the Thistle goaI1eeper. Ills actiyeness came to a sudden termina- ton when he came in contact with Wagner and was more or less injured. This took the pep out of him The Thistle players next attacked with vigor and after some fine passing Smink got the ball into the net, but referee Denholm ruled him offside, The third goal of the Wincnesters' was the finest of the game as Ted castle getting hold of the ball, drib- i bIed his way through the whole of the defense and finished up by send l ing in a hot shot that beat Ross all
 the way.

New HaVen'S Winchester Team At Its BeSt-NeWS and
 Gossip of Soccer.
BY JOE BOOTH

The Thistles of this city journeyed to New Haven yesterday with good hopes of winning their first game of the season when opposed to the Win chester team of that city in 8 State league game, but they found the lat ter team at its fullest strength in pre- parations for the cup ties which start next Sunday and had to return home with a, 1 goal defeat as the Win chesters played a great game all the way through and showed their fans that they are to be reckOned with in the cup ties. The T7histles lacked the services of the Brothers Faulds who failed to show up and substitutes had to be used. The game was played be- fore one of the largest crowds of the season and showed the game is increasing in popularity in the Elm City.
 Captain O'Grady of the Thistle team won the toss and started to play against the wind and the sun. The Winchester team got away right at the start and were dangerous in the first few minutes but Wagner rose to the occasion and with a fine kick cleared the ball to the center where the Thistle forwards got away but were soon checked before they had got far. The Thistle forwards were playing a fine game and Johnson in the Winchester goal was found pIen- ty to do. He was in good form and this accounted for the local team s failure to score
