Lutey and Sutterle (the latter of whom first had a bad fall, and then sustained a nasty cut on the head from a fast ball of Lewis's) scored for the losers, and the goals
for the winners were chalked up o Lewis and Crocker, who scored three each.
One of the most pleasing feature the match was that Hayes, the donor of the cup, was back in time lo umpire, and after the match he called upon Dallas Franklin to pre- sent the cup. The final score was 8/2

Individual honours undoubted- ly went to Waring, who, after playing half-an-hour in an un- accustomed position at inside right, showed even more thrust when he changed places "with" Astley."
McLuckie, too, playing his first home game with the Villa since he signed for them, was respon sible for many graceful touches, but at times the inside forwards falled to grasp the full meaning of his intentions.
