tackles, and around ends, but they
could not push the pigskin over fol
a score that meant six points.
Mays Landing opened the game
by kicking off to the locals. Plays
failed to gain, and Peterson punted
1t was a fine Kick, and Hahn. thC
Green Shirts right tackle, was
down on the ball, stopping it oil
the three yard line.
Mays Landing could not work ne
leather out, and finally kicked, the
ball being blocked on the three yard
line. 1t looked like touchdown
for the Aceys, but the Mays Land
ing line was a stone wall, and they
could not knife through, finally los
ing the ball.
From this point the visiting
backs punted out to the thirty-five
yard line. Here few plays gained
five yards, and Steelman, Aceys'
quarter, ordered Dave Latta back
for placement. The ball was on
the right side of the field, but Dave
sighted, and then booted, kicking
the pigskin beautifully through the
goal posts. 1t was q forty-yard
placement, and one that surprised
the crowd. Steelman held the
leather.
Those three points looked big to
the Acey fans until the Mays Land
ing backs began to pierce the line
starting the second half. In fact,
but for the bad luck of interior
ence, and the penalty II drew, the
markers might have meant the
game for the Green jersey boys.
Throughout the rest of the hrst
and second quarters it was more or
less a punting duel, with Peterson,
Acey back, having the best OF it.
In the second half Mays Landing
started a determined drive towards
the Green's goal posts. With
distance to go for first down, a
placement was tried, which was
blocked by an Acey player. Kitten

five yard line, with Hogan, the

ball After three plunges, with the
line holding, the period ended, ana
the ball was taken to the other emu
of the field. Here the pigskin was
given to the invaders on the
locals three-yartls line. Another
plunge failed to take it over, ana II
was the Green's ball.

Clark Grifflth's denial that he has
made any overtures to the Baltimore
club for the services OF its sensa-

corroborated by Jack Dunn, big boss
of the Orioles, who further states
that no member of his outfit will be
sold to the majors during the current
race, in which Dunn is striving to
annex his eighth straight pennant.
Dunn's statement was prompted by
reports that Boley would figure in
