NYC 10

Driving rain did not stop the lacrosse players of the Crescent Athletic Club from playing their international match against the St. Catharine’s Lacrosse Club at Bay Ridge yesterday. Notwithstanding the fact that the visitors came down from Canada with the reputation of being the champion twelve of the Canadian Lacrosse Association, they were no match for the hardy New Moon team, which had no difficulty in winning by a score of 9 goals to 4. The first period of play ended 7 to 2 in favor of the Crescent twelve.

It was a miserable day for the sport, and as a result not more than two hundred spectators witnessed the match. The rain made the grass slippery as a field of ice, and the players were continually falling as they dashed around the ground. The game was clean, and the one or two accidents that took place were unavoidable. Taylor, of the Crescents, had his head cut, and a little later the Canadian goal keeper was injured by a hard shot. Both finished the game, however.

The Crescents started aggressively and scored four goals within the first ten minutes of play. The visitors could not keep their feet, and so they were completely outclassed by the home twelve. As the game progressed the Canadians improved in their play, but the fact that the second half was a stand-off so far as the score was concerned, was more due to the substitution of players on the Crescent team than to any improvement in the Canadian game.
