.HARLE|MS WIN At SOCCER
IT,. Burton, Jr., Kicks Points That
Vanquish Thistles in 20
Benefit Contest,

Jesse Burton. the younger. is a
kicker Of some ability-with his feet,
not his mouth. He demonstrated this
yesterday at Union Park. when he
played inside right forward for the
Harlem Athletics, who opposed the
Washington Thistles in the soccer
game staged as benefit for the
widow of Policeman Bradley. the Of
ficer recently killed in line of duty.
Through the medium of Jesses trusty
toe the Harlems emerged from the
struggle 2-to-0 victors.
There never was a dull moment in
the fray. The elevens went at one
another with a vengeance. and thirty
minutes of play had passed before a
concerted Harlem attack gave the
younger Burton a shot at goal. Then
the point had to be kicked at a sharp
angle. Midway of the second half.
Jesse Burton. the elder. fed the ball
to the other Jesse, and the latter
again counted.
The team play of the Harlems was
better than that of the Thistles. all
though the latter frequently gained
much ground in attack. They were
unable to penetrate the Harlems' in
ner defense, however. Smith, at goal,
and George Leadbetter and Green,
backs, played good games for the
winners. while Caspar and Maunder
