but Cronin recovered the pigskin at
the Indians 3G-yard line. 4 forward
pass was grounded. Hurd then
dropped back to the 44-yard line and
held the ball for placement effort.
Sullivan sent his toe into the oval.
and it sailed high toward goal. After
travelling a little more than half the
distance, it began to drop sharply
and finally struck the crossbar. 1t
bohbed across to the far side for the
points.
The Mohawks endeavored to match
the Mercurys points early in the
third period. but Deakins' drop-kick
for goal from the 4S-yard line was
short. Before that time and until the
final quarter, the Hawks were aimost
continually ON the defense. Time
and time again, the Mercury. made
life miserable for the Mohawk sec
ondary. The Hawks were outpiayed IN
the line, too. It's forwards lett prac-
tically all the tackling to the oacks,
and they found it almost imposs'ple
to open the way for plunges.
No Versatile Play shown.
Neither team was versatile in its play.
The NIercurys resorted to line shit
that was not worked fast enough TO
mean much, but at that It's ilne 0uto
charged the opposition. StralSnt Hi'e
bucks, varied by occasional end runs
were employed by the Mohawks. There
was little forward passing tried and
neither team offered deceptive play OF
this nature. The Mohawks made good
in four Of ten heaves and the Mercurys
i'll one of three. Six of the Mohawk
passes were attempted in the last period.
Despite a lack of polished play, the
game was replete with thhrllis ana
wholly entertaining TO the 1891 rams
who paid their way into the park. It
was enjoyed by quite number OF
others. too who were guests OF the con-
tending teams. There were long runs
contributed by Hurd and BeyerS OF the
Mercurys, and Schofield of the Mohawks.
These three backs were the outstanding
players of the engagement. Licarione,
big Mohawk fullback, with his excellent
defensive work. was responsible for
checking many Mercury attacks. Each
team substituted frequently in the line
and all of those employed by Mercury
performed creditably.
Mercury. as 1t played yesterday. was
a better team than its opponent, TAR
better than the 3-tO-0 score would In
dicate. 1t earned its title fairly and
souarely and probably will be content to
rest upon its laurels during the remain
der Of the present season. But 1t will
have to prepare carefully for next year.

that il didn't matter. and as he was
known 90 Mr.. Murphy ne was told
20 climb inside At no time did they
call the boy by name and upon the

The task was complicated by the fact
that a large number OF other boys
