The Parnell team played all around the McBrides in the Gaelic football game played yesterday at the Presidic Athletic Grounds. At the c¢ad of an hour's play the Parnells had nine points, without al- lowing their opponents to score. It was a one-sided contest, as the win- ning team showed superior knowledge of the finer points of the game. The losers were completely baffled at times by the clever manner in which the #Parnell men dribbled the ball up the fleld and passed it to their team mates. But few times during the game did the McBrides have the ball near their opponents’ goal. At the end of the first half the Parnells had senit the ball sailing over their opponents’ goal six times. In the next half they scored three more goal: Many substitutés were played on the McBride team, as some of their best men did not show up. This probably accounts for their poor showing.
