SATURDAY'S MATCHES. - Perfect football weather was .experienced ou Saturday, and the. matches generally, wero fast. Following are the results of games:— Third,B Grade. The town match was between Marist and Switts, and after the first quarter of an hour, from a spectacular point of view, it was hardly interesting, as it developed into practically a practice match for Marist. This is. accounted lor by the fact that only five of Swifts' uriginal team appeared on tho ground, and they had to draw on fourth and even fiftu-class members to make a team. They played one man short. Naturally the Marist team were almost as heavy again as Swifts, .and kept the ball in their' opponents' half, knocking up tho large score of 19 goals, to nil, Guys, in the goal for Swifts, did good work, and. stopped a number of goals. The scorers I for Marist were Marshall 3, Moonej' -1, Scanlan 3, Conroy 2, M'Elligott 1, Turner 1, Hickey 1, Gallagher 2, Spencer 1, Daniels, 1. Mr. J. Leddy refereed.
