The final game of the soccer and field ball championship of
Dorchester was played off at Federalsburg (neutral ground) on Friday,
November 13th. They were both splendid games. The field ball teams
were fairly well matched, neither side scoring until the third quarter.
The final score was 2-1 in East New Market's favor. The soccer game was
no less interesting in the first half, but the Hurlock boys fell down in
good sportsmanship toward the latter part of the fourth quarter by
kicking the ball out at every chance to kill time – not breaking any
actual rules of the game, but breaking the rules of good sportsmen. The
final score was 1-0 in Hurlock's favor.
