Ball Hits Post

Wilcox hit in for Paque to assist Cronin in giving the delivery. The latter rifled a great shot but had the misfortune of seeing the ball crack against the post and bounced back into play.

Encouraged by the narrow escape, the Durhams resumed with more energy and soon bombarded their opponents' territory. Sgt. Bolan was mainly instrumental in carrying the ball up the field and opened up different plays, The Loyal defenders had to give of the best to stop them from gaining further advantages.

The ball was ably stopped by the Sergeant who back-flicked to the Corporal. The latter, with clever handling of the stick, shoved the ball forward between a forest of legs and had it lodged in the net before the opposing custody ian realized the loss.
