V. GOSANO, B. Gosano and Silva Netto were responsible for the Athletic's defeat yesterday in the First Division of the local soccer League, when the Recreio secured a well-merited victory by 3 goals to 1. to reverse last Sunday's result in what must be ranked as the fastest and most thrilling clash seen this season.
The atmosphere was as in a Cup-tie with everybody keyed up to fever pitch, and the enor- mous crowd flanking the touch and goal-lines added to the excitement.
The football was tremendously fast and both leams enjoyed an equal share of the game, although 'in the latter stages of the concluding half, the Recreio forwards gave a brilliant display to keep the Chinese teùm in their own goalmouth by sending in a barrage of shots from all angles
