Chard scored, whist Miss McEwan hit a goal for the local laches. Mr. V. H. Reale was rcieree ELTHAM v. IXGLEWOOD. At Inglewood the local girls were defeated by Wapiti (Elthnml bv 4 jjniK to nil. Mr. T. W. Rolston controlled the game. The ruling of Mr. Peace during the New Piymouth-Carrington Road game, when the penalty goal was awarded to New Plymouth, seemed very contrary to the expectations of the Carrington Road players. Mr. Beale's decision was correct, however. If players would only pay more attention to and read the rnles, play would be much faster and afford greater attraction to spectators.
