HEARTS V. UNION. Union and Hearts B met on Nevrtown Park yesterday afternoon in very unsettled weather. Union, who turned out with ten men, lost the toss. Gregory set the ball in motion and, through his efforts, several nicely-combined runs were carried out, resulting in Neunort opening the score for Union. Even play ruled up till half time, with flashes of studied movements to enliven tho game. On crossing over Hearts B were seen moro in the game, making repeated attacks on Davis, who gave a fine display in goal for Union. Their labours had t} be rewarded, and that was achieved through Turner. This same player gavo Hearts the victory, in the closing of the game from what, however, seemed an off-side position.
