The game was nut h larticubirly Interesting. hoth teams ' ieii:g .-hanged considerably as It pro- v tressed. Some brilliant Individual efforts, „ low-ever, marked the play from time to s line. The second and lower grade eonvpeitioiis, together w!:U tlie ladles' matches, ■vcre continued as usual. A AXD 11 TRIAL. t — 1 The A team opened up .->„ attack from 1 he commencement, working mostly from r he right, v.iih the result that .laeohsen. v >n the wliiL-. hail a good deal '.r work com- < ng his way. Itobinsoii and Baker were < ■oiispleuoiis in ihe defence, ami, later, Whitaker. ttarrv and Murk opened up a fairly promising' attack for the B's. The Vs. however, soon got the danger clear. m,i play was again iirnuiiii ihetr opponents' •li-e'e. 'Mark and Harry, combining well, rnsh.-ii the hall several limes down ihe , leid hut Speight proved a formidable oli- i -lacl'e on each occasion, .I>>liiik also doing i good work. The A's thus siiceeedeil in i Keeping the hall outside rheir circle. Mur- , ra\- eventually bending a rush that tool! , play almost to the opposite goal-line. I'la.v ( luilig near the t went v-flve. a good ileal of , haphazard hilling helag Indulged in without much visible result. Kohinsou gave the Ft forwards an opening, bul it was not uiilised. Tlie forwards, however, worked play gradually up till Mark got past Speight, nnd put in a fine run. lie passed io Barry, whose shot, just missed. The j B'i pressed hard, l.nt Murray eventually | broke away ou the wing, and, after a succession 'or souffles, .lolms got the hail nnd sh..t. Sparrow stopping well. The | X's were again on the defensive a little | Inter. Baker showing up. The A's goal . looked in danger once or twice when the ]' opposing forward-line accomplished a series of fast rushes, hut each was stopped on the circle edge for ufTsi.le. The linH l ravelled about a good deal In midflold without much advantage to either learn. | hut the B's were just developing an I attack from the loft wing when halt-time I wont, vv-irli no score in, res,lining, a number of changes were nude between ami within the tenuis. Itohins„n Whirtnker nnd Smyihe going over l" :he As. and Alison and Ile-anle to the B's. In the tirst few minutes Mark broke away dow-n the line for the lis. but Cotton bh.-ked his shot, ami a counter-attack nearly resulted in a scort*. .lanes did some • loan' defensive work for the It's, and was instrumental In getting a rush going. Welhani piilting in a fine run. which was met by s-peiglit Thomas soon after got tho ball, and ran right through the A b.-i.-k-. slomna chocked him temporarily. bur he recovered, and found ihe net. A rapid rush hv the A's took tit* hall across :he goal-line," Whitlakor missing a scoring chance l.y being n lilt previous. Barry next showed up. running nearly Ihe length of the field. Two corners followed in succession, and both 'Barry and Welhani sen* in clinking shots. but without result. Thomas, for the A's, was prominent In an attack Immediately after. Jones again doing excellent work in defence. Murray, however, had lime to scud a shot In, hut it was blocked. Barry again broke through the A backs, but he wns not supported, and a counter rash ended In Johns taking a pa—- fron Whlttaker and evening up the seres. From the bully; the \ forwards again rushed down the field, and Whittaker shot, but Sparrow blocked his attempt. The same player, with John?, again took pbiv to the circle, where some r.-itlier l.aphnznrd llittlnr resulted in tho ball colng behind. The A's were having the best of things at this stage, and a rather remarkable goal resulted from their ne\! pffnrf. .laeohsen centred hard from Ihe left win:; to Johns at Inside right, but the ball went past to Sni.vthe. on the extreme right, who sent a clinker into Ihe net from a bad ansle. The same player made another olTert Iv the next rush, hilt Sparrow blacked him. and another attempt by ('" A forwards was smothered by Baker aiid Jones. Barry then broke away, but It was n line effort, an.l came to nothing. Snivthe was the next to get near a score. Johns also making a gnnfl attempt. Speight countered a run by Marl; ilnrlnir a break In ihe As almost, continuous ntt.uk. and though thinas were lively for tlie rpst of the game, no more scores eventuated. A Team 2 11 Team 1 Mr H. 11.
