The Association football match
England v. Ireland, played on Saturday [at Roker Park], resulted in a win for the former, Which scored 2 points against Ireland's nil. Of course, the team is an Anglo-Irish one, as all the leading Irish players play the Gaelic game, and leave Rugby and soccer severely alone. Hence it is farcical to regard it as an international match, even if Britishers conceded Ireland the status of a nation in games.

SPORTING ITEMS
A Landon cable message stating that football ("Soccer'') has become extraordinarily popular among girls, who have developed such skill as to justify regular international matches. British and French teams will meet in Paris on October 31. Earl Derby will kick off. Last season a French team of girls visited England.

NOTES ON THE CODES FROM EVERYWHERE
(By THE CYNIC)
NORWAY BEATS ENGLAND AT SOCCER.
Norway's defeat of England at Association football on September 1 came as a very great surprise to everybody, but there is no doubt that it was thoroughly deserved (reports the London Sportsman special at Antwerp). England were warm favorites for the tournament. After the game Col. Kentish, who was in charge of the British competitors, congratulated the Norwegians individually on their clean and clever game. ..... but the principal reasons for the English defeat were that they had four men injured and the team was generally too old.
Norway beat England by 3 goals to 1 after a hard game.
Spain beat Denmark by 1 goal to love.
Sweden beat Greece by 9 goals to 0.
Holland beat Luxembourg by 3 goals to nil.
