DEFEAT OF WANDERERS

Miramar Rangers thoroughly deserved their 3-2 win • over Scottish Wanderers. In the first half they played better football than Scottish Wanderers who were inclined to rate the ability of their opponents too lightly.' Miramar Rangers opened the attack with the wind at their backs, and-kept Scottish Wanderers on the defensive for fifteen minutes,. Cuthfaert being called upon on several occasions to clear smartly. Taylor with a beautiful long shot opened Miramar Rangers' account. Scottish Wanderers, now on their mettle, launched repeated attacks, but lack of cohesion when close in defeated their efforts. Tonks for Miramar Rangers kept goal admirably. When half-time came Miramar Rangers were one up. Scottish Wanderers in the second half played much better football, but their passing game was, still poor. Cunninliam, on the left wing, a dangerous man who can score from any angle, was forgotten. A neat pass to J. Campbell saw Scottish Wanderers net their first goal, to equalise 1-all. • Miramar Rangers came back with a rush arid carried the fight into Scottish Wanderers territory, where Deslandes netted, making the score: Miramar Rangers 2, Scottish Wanderers 1. A penalty kick was awarded to Scottish Wanderers, and a shot that should have meant a certain goal was driven straight into the hands of Tonks.' A little later Phillips-scored for Wanderers, to make the score 2-all. A few minutes before end of, play Baillie scored the winning goal, and Wanderers left the field defeated for the first time this season.
