defeated the St. Georges team of this city in an exhibition soccer game at of four goals to one. The game was fast and exciting from start to finish but it was not until late in the sec ond half that the Bridgeport City team showed supremacy over their opponents. For three parts of the game the teams appeared evenly matched and both sets of forwards missed some great opportunities of scoring, but this was to be expected on the ol>1ing day of the season.
 Urizar, the Spanish player, started the game for the City team which at once attacked with fine determina= ton by the 1eftwing forwards as Blox- am and HeppinstaH took the ball well up the field and it took the combin- effect a clearance. The City team kept up the pressure for several min utes but could net penetrate the de- fense as Ostman was playing a great game between the sticks for the St. Ge--eS team.
 The Sons forwards, led by Pollard, who has just arrived in the country, and who played for Burnley Reserves in the Lancashire com bination, took the ball well up the field and some fine passing betwejn Kirk, Robertson downfall of the City goal but Hunt and Abbott was on the alert and kept the goal intact. End to end play was the order for the next IS min utes after which the opening goal of | the game was scored. Perez, the fcenter ha1f-back, received the ball at the center and beat several oppon- ents and passed B1oxam. After 3 | fine piece of combination between this 1 player and Urizar, the ball eventual" ly found its way to the toe of Blox. am who, with a fine touch, planted the ball right into the net out of the | reach of Ostman.
 This reverse infused new life into the St. Georges players and for fir7aa 1os1rr or 7n result that the City defense had an anxious time in preventing Shaw, Kirk and Pollard from scoring.
 Sutton's Great Shot. | After half an hour play the scores were level as Sutton, getting hold from a center by Kirk, sent in a shot that just grazed the a3r uRright aa and d score, but the bail just beat him.
 After the interval both sides made the defense on each side proved bet ter than the attack. The St Georges I team looked like taking the lead on one occasion but Hunt just came up ball away just as Pollard was in the act of scoring. After 20 minutes of
 play in the second half the City team
 took the lead as Urizar shot for goal
 and Ostman, the St. Georges goalie,
 misjudged the ball entirely and it
 rolled over his shoulder into the net.

 Abbott is Star.
 Of the City players, Abbott in goal played a wonderful game for an old timer and on yesterdays form should
 make a good capture. Hunt is a mar : vel of a back and the team has done I a great stroke of business in secur- , ing his services Sutcliffe was out of his class and seemed a little timid but nevertheless played a good game. was the shining light Last season he was with the Spanish team but
 now he is in better company should
 develop into the finest center half in
 the state Galston played a hard
 game though not brilliant while
 Shepherd also played well. ' Urizar at center-forward is just the
 player the City management has been
 looking for, for years he showed us
 yesterday how to score goals and
 also to keep his other forwards busy. .The left wing is where the team 5 doubt the finest forward in the state I today and he and Bloxam are fine , partnership, second to none. The l down as neither Luque or Kilroy , seemed to understand each others
