The team a,, oinpauieil hy a hund-red

The team was met al the Station by a
delegation >>r Royersford players ami
accompanied to their quarters, when
they donned Ihoir togs.

unal and mighty as Hie name she
hears, bill can nol the question be ask-
-d Did not Royersford use a liu/./.ei as
was discovered mi the PhUlle's grounds
by Tommy Corcoran or the Reds? Was
the home players totally ignorant of
the locals' plays? Was not the signals
disclosed in the least? Did they follow
the ball as the locals did withonl tin
slightest intimation of how lb.' plays
wore to be sxocuted? if so they are to
be highly commended for their aggies-ilveneas.
if the answer [ii the abovi
pi.-lions is in the negative then they
ire a great team and great Ihlngs inBJ
be expected ere the season is hair over.
They followed the bail around either

In the fust half of the game the lo-al

Completely exhausted they gave up
the chase and com liiibd to return. Af-ter
walking tor nearly an hour, no

did the same. Although Howard shook
