SOCCER LEAGUE araraye mmfkinner & Eddy. mmDuthies ..... mm Woodland Park mmBieck Diamond ta Yesterday's Result Duthies 2, Skinner @ Hady 1 BY ALEX C. ROSE Northwest soccer champions—Car- bonado. This title was conferred upon the coal miners yesterday when the Skinner & Eddy team failed to catch them, in the locals’ last chance for the pennant. The non.appearance of the Skinner & Eddy regulars had @ bad effect on the combination in yes terday’s contest against the Duthies at Liberty park, in which the latter - finishing just one goal ahead of their was 2 to 1. Duthies Take Lead Right from the kickoff Dutl took up the running and kept # ball hovering around their op score they could not. Time and again a goal seemed certain, but just then some Skinner & Eddy boot would come to the rescue, The game was certainly a thriller, In this 45-minute bombardment Tunnecliffe’s shooting was the feat ure, and it was no fault of his that the Duthie team did not have a com- fortable lead before the lnterval. His best effort nearly smashed the cross- bar. Altho outclassed, the Skinner & Eddys put up a keen struggie and nothing finer than the defensive work of Fisse, Allerton, Yuna and Petti- grew has been seen here in many moons. In one of the many scrimmages the ball lay six inches from the goal line, but Yuna beat an eager op- ponent to it and for the ‘teenth time leared his lines. Half time—Duthies 0, Skinner & Eddy 0, Goalle Stars Wonderful work by the Skinner & Eddy goalie kept the Duthies at bay m the early part of the second pe- riod. Shots were rained in on him from all angles, but he saved them all in masterly fashion. Play for a time was transferred to the other end, where Richardson suc- ceeded in putting the Skinner & Eddys in the lead, when he accepted Woods’ accruate pass and beat Clark with a low shot, ing, and it was not long before Weir (,Duthies) was ordered off the field by Referee Pete Shearer. This decision did not seem to please Linesman McGilvray, and he vacated his position for the remainder of the game. Woods Spoils Chance After play had been held up for several minutes the Skinner & Eddys again raided their opponent's end, but Woods spoiled a grand chance by shooting high and wide, Playing with 10 men, the Duthie team finally succeeded in equalizing, Douglas scoring from Richardson's cross, Daly shortly after missed by inches on the other end. The winning goal was notched by Duthies five minutes from time, Kerley being the marks- man, In the run of play the victors were easily the better team.
