The DeSoto league furnished two well
played games to the followers of the
junior league Sunday afternoon at
Hodges field. The first contest re-
over the Smart Millinery team by )
goals to /, while the second game re-
suited in a 0-to-0 tie between the
league leading Y. NJ. l. team and the
Royal FooferS>
The first battle was an evenly
matched contest and showed the Smarts
with a brilliant forward line, who were
unable to shoot through several chances
for goal scores as the ball was at the
very mouth Of the Wades goal for a
| greater portion of the first half. The
Wades were able to score a goal in he
closing minutes of the first half and the
half ended with that goal as the only
one scored. The smart Millinery boys,
after a clever pass and a brilliant
block and shot by Brooks, shot through
the tie goal In the first few minutes Of
play In the second halt. At this stage
the ball worked on the Millinery boys
goal territory very frequently and a
nice shot from the 15-yard hne by
Walsh registered the second goal for
the Wades. The third goal was an easy
chance and should have been stopped

an invasion of their goal territory. Both
| teams put up a magnificent game and

in the early part of the game the game
on form was a tie; however, the Flour
boys were luckier with their shots.
Walsh, Wilson, McHugh and Reilly
played we'll for the Wades, with the
shade going to Reilly. The Smarts re-
ceived some brilliant play from Gavin,
Scruggs and Arnault.
The second game was a hotly con-
tested affair and resulted in a no-goal
tie between the league-leading Y. NJ. |.
team and the Royal Roofing team. The
honors were about even for the two
clubs. The forward line of the Y. y. |.

them. However, some close shots were

copied by a regular mass of players as

CoRKING GOOD SEMI.

In the semiwindup two corking good
~sluggers collide in the personages of
broadway Jones and Kid Foster, both
negroes. Jones has earned a reputa-
tion for himself by vicious work ac-
complished in 1890 whereas Foster
ia making his seasons debut.
At the same time, fans are intimately
acquainted with the quality Of Fos-
ter's stuff and are willing to bet a
kopek or two that he cops.
The Broadway party has both the
wallop and an iron constitution. Smash
ing blows TO his jaH produce the same
effect as water drfAping on a ducks
back. That is to say, they have done
so to date. But just what will happen
when Foster turns loose is another mat
ter.
The Kid is not only there with the
punch, but ht is fast, clever and well
seasoned. Stretcher bearers will be at
the ringside.
Two other bouts will complete the
card and the Jazz band will furnish
the music. The first bout is scheduled
for $50 o'clock.

The second game showed the Jeffer-

Kupferschmidts showed a brilliant half
of defensive work when the onslaught
of the Jeffersons seemed to be raging
in the first half and this brilliant de-
fenSe proved very helpful to the hup--
ferschmidts. The Jeffersons scored
their only goal in the second half on a
clean shot from Seniors foot, while
Murphy, Of the Jeffersons, kicked the
Kupferschmidt goal in the second half,
| also when the back fired one through
his own goal, which evened up the
count for the opposition. This was one
of the strongest contested games the
Kupferschmidts have had for several
