By "SCRAMBLER"

DESPITE THEIR WIN of four goals to two over Police yesterday at Caroline Hill, Eastern should consider themselves lucky, for all three goals were scored at a period when the Police were playing with ton men. Tho whistle was heard much too frequently, and due to dangerous play, no less than seven players had to receive attention.
