COMBINATION

MEDIOCRE PLAY

London, Sept. 25, For the first time the Irish League to-day beat the English League in a football match at Blackpool, the winners scoring | two goals to their opponents' one.

The Irish victory was. the first over the English League since the series was inaugurated in 1804.

The play was mediocre and the persistence of the Irish attack was the only feature of the match. This was rewarded ten minutes before the end when Kelly scored the winning goal.

Boyes, England's left winger oponed the scoring for England after 30 minutes' play but a minute later McNally equalised for the Irish alde, the scoro at "half timo bang 1-1,

Ten minutes before the final whistle Kelly scored with a powerful drive into the corner of the net-Router.

JAPANESE CREATE NEW TIMES

Tokyo, Sept. 15. Swimming records fell galore this afternoon in the Japan inter- collegiate aquatic meet at the Meiji Shrine pool, with the horses of last month's Japanese-American clash, Skoz0 Makino, Hiroshi Negami and Relzo Kolke, garner- Ing the honours.

Makino accounted for a new world's mark in the 800-metre free style event, covering the distance in 9 min. 55.8 sec., lowering his own record ́estab- lished last year by 5.4 seconds...

He was closely followed by Negami, who, in negotiating the distance in 10 min. .09 se- conds, also broke the former record.

A new Japanese mark was set In the 100-metre brest stroke race by Koike, who swam the distance in 1 min. 13.6 seconds.

In this case Doyle seems to have been the unoffending party: He is said to have been badly fouled by Baer immediately the battle started. Doyle was conceding nearly 2
