On Friday evening last the second game of the series between Milverton and Atwood juniors was played in the park. The night was ideal for football and a large crowd witnessed the game and when it was over all seemed pleased with the match. The Milverton boys were here to gain the day and put up a strong defence, and during the first half had the best of it, making many rushes on goal, :but were only fortunate enough to land one shortly before half time, this of course made things more brisk and the home team woke up to the fact that sleeping in the game would not do and before the whistle blew for balf time they tied the score with a hard shot played by Patterson. The sec- ond half was well played by both sides, with the home team slightly having the best of the play. Mr. Ballantyne of Brussels, refereed to the satisfaction of both teams. At- wood still has the lead of one goal and with a few changes on the line- up and good practice they should be able to hold the lead.
