Soon Aline had the ball half-way up the field, but suddenly she stumbled, and fell headlong to the ground.

Before she could rise, the ball had been sent to the rival Center Forward, who, with a magnificent hit, drove it nearly into the goal-circle.

There it was splendidly blocked by Kitty Saunders, our Left Back, and quickly passed to Evie Irving, the Left Wing.

There was a brief, though fierce, struggle for possession of the ball between the two wings, in which Evie was victorious.

She neatly avoided the Clinton Right Half, but the ball went off the line.
