Provincial Intermediate Foot Ball
Championship Won by Brussels.
A MOST SUCCESSFUL. SEASON
CLOSED AUSPICIOUSLY.
The Victory Celebrated Saturday Evening in Royal Style.
WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH BRUSSELS ?
Joan BILL/NOS SAID 1.—
"1 Luv the Rooster for Ws
Crow and the Spurs he
has to back it up."
After a long and strenuous season in
the Western Football arena, Brussels'
well known intermediete team landed
the silver cup for the third season, no
mean honor considering the fine clubs
they had to compete with such as At-
wood, Listowel, Walkerton, Clinton
and Plattsville.
In, every battle Brussels won, not by
luck nor favoritism. but by clever, con-
sistent and competent ball playing
only three goals being scored against
them in the entire series. The team
held well together througbout, often
at considerable personal sacriOce, but
were well and cheerfully supported by
large crowds both at home and abroad,
Thetsturdy bunch consisted of James
Anderson, the always reliable goal
keeper ; Wellington McDonald and
Alex. Anderson, fell backs, who filled
their posts like a stone wall ; Russell
Brown, Oliver Querin and Win.
Stevenson, the half back trio not sur-
passed by half backs on any team, and
Richard Cardiff, W. Miller, James
;McGillivray, Archie McLeod; and Ed.
Kerley, who on the forward line won
many a victory with neatness and
despatch.
Like Alexander, of old, the boys
looked round for other worlds to
conquer after securing the W. F. A.
silverware, They decided that the
Provincial cup would be theirs, so
after it they weut. There were five
teams in the fight. Green River trim-
med AllEaints, of Toronto, 5 to o in a
sudden death game. Stamford defeat-
ed.Niagara Falls after two tie matches.
Brussels put Stamford out of business
by 3 to 1 and then buckled with the
cocky Green River eleven, the hottest
of the season, whom they chastised by
3 to 1 on the round, thustwinning the
coveted laurels without much difficulty.
The town decided to accord the
victors the recognition they deserved,
so on Saturday evening they were met
at the depot on their arrival from Tor-
onto by hundreds of citizens, with
torches and carriages tastefully decor-
ated with Rags, bunting, and Chinese
lanterns. Wingham's well known
cornet band led the procession, follow-
ed by cabs with the town Council,
victorious football boys, the young
ladies baseball and tennis teams, the
tankard bowler wieners and other
rigs, while scores of brooms afire
lighted up the darkness.
A halt was made at the Tows Hall,
where Reeve Leckie, Manager Bal-
lantyne and Editor Kerr, of THE
Pose, made brief, congratulatory
speeches, complimenting the team on
their series et brilliant victories during
the season. Lusty cheers were repeat-
edly given tor the champions, the
officers of the club, the baseball girls,
the speakers of the evening and the
band.
The streets were lined with a cheer-
ing crowd and the town bell rang
merrily. The performance was
brought to a close by a choice progratn
by the band, concluding with the
National Anthem, Everybody was
pleeteed and the honor done the team
was certainly well deservtd.
A proposition is 011 toot to place
something more tangible in possession
of each of the players who did so much
to keep Brussels so prominently before
the Ruble:,
It Is only fair to say that Charlie
Bevels and Wm. Henderson, the
reserve members of the team, proved
themselves conmetenFto travel in fast
company and will be beard front later.
If any oue should ask "What's the
matter with Brussels ?" there's only
one answer and that is "Brussels is all
right 1" with the accent on the last
word, While so matt, plaudits have
attended their almost unsurpassed
dectded victories, the lads are still
able to wear their own hats. Brussels
citizens are proud of their champions
and believe they won only and always
on their merit,
THE GAME AT 10IARKHAA.6
Last Friday morning Brussels Foot
Ball team left by the 7 o'clock train'
with Markhatn, so miles from Toronto,
as the objective point where they were
billed to meet tbe Green River experts
in the return and final Match for the
Ontario chart:me:mettle. The Queen
city was reached abitett nowt and et 4.30
a start was made for the scene of battle
which was sighted at 5,3o. By the
time the boys walked from the depot
to the hotel and got into their uniform
and down to the Agricultural Park
the bell had rung for 6 p. m, Green
River was already on deck backed by a
large number of lusty supporters who
were anxious to make themselves be-
lieve that the tables wetted be turned
on the score of the previous game
Whett they were trounced to the tune
of 3-o at Brussele, Referee Woodward
of Toronto, was Mester of ceremonies
and throughout the play performed Itis
difficult task with fairness and
showed his acquaintance with what
constituted good ball. He soon had
the sphere in motion but outside of one
flake score neither ;side counted from
start to finish. The make up of the
grounds rather bothered our lads for a
little time while their opponents (who
only live 5 miles distant) had
played an it on Ettore than one
occasion previously. It was a red hot
mile -a -minute sort of a match in which
Green River showed a dogged deter-
mination of redeeming themselves but
despite their most strenuous efiorts,
and the encouragement of their
"rooters," Brussels met their advances
of both kick and "obeff" with a vigor
that proved they had no notion of
permitting the championship to go to
the Eastern hamlet and when the
whistle of the Referee announced that
time was up Brussels was winner of
the round by 3 to t. Our boys should
have at least tied tbe score Iv day
evemng as a number of good 1* hes
were made on the goal of their op-
ponents but their sbotoing was hl,rdly
as good as usual and part of the match
Green River was playing it men
against to as one of our team was
given a job at the fence by the Referee
for a short time. It was no doubt a
disappointment to Green River to fail
in the finals but they will bave to ex-
cuse Brussels this time and perhaps in
rock they may fare better. Cheers for
Green River and Referee were given
when a rush was made to the hotel for.
supper and then a dash for the ststeon
to catch the 8.tg train back to Toronto
where we arrived shortly after g
