South Shields were engaged with Fulham at Horsley Hill this afternoon in a return League engagement . When the teams met at Craven Cottage last week , the Seas ders registered an unexpected victory by the odd goal in five , while last season they took the maximum points from the Londoners in both games winning at Horsley Hill by two clear goals and at Fulham by 1-0 .

Reynolds Fleming Chaplin Bagge Torrance Edrlaton Crborne Heard ay Doyle Penn Referee : Mr F. Slater . There was one change in the Shields team . Hetherington being introduced in place of Smith at inside - right , and the visitors appeared as originally selected . 12.000 SPECTATORS AT START . When play commenced in showery weather there was a crowd of about 12,000 spectators . The visitors were the first to apply pressure , and a clever right wing movement , in which Osborne and Heard participated , left McKay in possession , but the Fulbam leader was neatly robbed by Hardy . A few minutes later an almost identical movement by the visiting right wing pair again placed McKay to advantage , and on this occasion Ridley dashed in an effected a clever save . The visiting forwards were combining with prod effect , but they were generally well held the Shields defenders . faulty clearance by Fleming enabled Greenwell to put the ball across the gcalmouth to Simms , and the Shields centre placed it neatly to Hetherington , who flashed in a splendid shot which struck the side of the net . After another brief spell of attacking by the visirs , during which the front line directed in enterprising fashion by McKay , Simms broke away and placed açourately to Belam , who raped off in promising e . but his shot was charged down by Chaplin . REYNOLDS CALLED UPON . Combining smartly , the Shields forwards kept the opposing defence busily employed . and Reynolds was rather lucky to smother a close - up drive by Hetherington . Racing off on the left , Penn centred with fine judgment , and Crown had to put back to Walker , who cleared easily . Simms made another attempt to break through in the centre , but lost the ball to Torrance , and this incident was followed by a cleverly executed movement on the part of Greenwell and Brown . The left winger's centre placed the Fulham goal in danger , Chaplin making a difficult clearance . 1 Once again the South Shields forwarde menaced the Fulham defence , but Chaplin and Fleming were not giving anything away . There was an exciting tussle in the visi tors ' goal area following a well placed centre by Brown , Chaplin eventually bring . ing relief to his side by making a partial clearance . Hetherington promptly pounced on the ball and there was a thrilling struggle within a few yards of Reynolds , the incident closing once again in favour of the defen ders . 7 A TERRIFIC PACE . The game was contested at & terri fic pere and neither side had very much to spare . although the South Shields forwards were the more effective and certainly had a crater number of scoring chances . The visitors had a great opening when Herd , receiving from the left had only Walker to beat close in , but by dilly - dallving he allowed the custodian to dispossess him . There were more thrills at the Fulham end , following a touch line raid by Brown . and Fleming was compelled to concede a From the flag kick Hethonin corner . found himself with an goal nothing to do bat slip the ball into the net , but Reynolds , running out , charged down . his shot . It was a narrow escape for Ful ham . The League . - nion II . HALF - TIME BOORES : BARNSLEY , 01 0OVENTRY CITY , . BRADFORD 0. , 3 ) THE WEDNESDAY , OLAPTON ORIENT , 31 NELSON , 1 .
