THE FEMALE FOOTBALLERS.
SECOND EDITION
A football match between twentytwo young women—one half English, the other half Scotch—was lately played in public at Edinburgh. The teams appeared in a costume essentially similar to that worn by male football players, consisting of jersey, knickerbockers, stockings, boots, cowl, with a sort of sash depending from the waist—the Scotch team wearing blue jerseys and red sashes, and the English red jerseys and blue sashes. The match was played according to Association rules, and the game was one of two periods of three-quarters of an hour. At first it appeared as if the English team were to have the best of it, but after half an hour’s brisk play, Miss Lilly St. Clare kicked the first goal for Scotland, and thenceforward the Scotch had it nearly all their own way, hardly ever allowing the ball to’enter their own territory.
