Barnsley provided the attraction at Horsley Hill , South Shielde , this afternoon , the game being played in fine , summerlike weather . Sauth Shields had never suffered a home reverse at the hands of the Yorkshiremen and the only occasion on which Barnsley . had taken a point from the Seasidere at , Horsley Hill was in 1919 , when the teams played agcalless draw .

The game was started before a " gate " of about 10,000 . The home forwards were the first to apply pressure , and Bolam was well placed from a wing pass by Simms , but he put weakly paat . The visitors made a vigorous opslaught and Hine was working for position just outside the penalty area when he was fouled , and from the resultant kiek Walker had to fist out . For a few minutes play was ccnfined to the Shields quarters and the home goal was in some danger when Coun miskicked An tackling Wainscoat . The Shields back , how ever . made a smart recovery and cleared in fine style .. Wainscoat and Newton were combining effectively on the Barnsley left wing , but they were rarely permitted to get within Bhooting distance owing to the successful stopping work of Hird and Bidley . Greenwell was well placed at the other end , but he was slow in taking control and Armstrong easily dispossessed him . The visitors were adopting fast and forceful tac tics , and the Shields defenders had plenty to occupy their attention .- Clever oombined work in which Green . well , Simms and Brown participated , resulted in the South Shields leader mak . ing good progress , but after working his way over to the left and centring there was no one up to apply the finishing touches . BARNSLEY AGGRESSIVE . Fotcher initiated a dangerous movement on the Barnsley right wing , and the South Shielde defenders in meeting the attack were none too confident in their clearances . Both Hutchinson and Crown were gullty of miskioke but fortunately their mistakes were quickly rectifled . and Talker's oharge was not seriously menaced . After the Shields custodian had saved 8 half volley . from Hine , Bolam and Hether ington came away in promising style only to he met with a stubboin resistance on the part of Baines and Gittins . Simms then trim to break through using his head to pond advantage , but once again Gittins came resome and there was nothing ding SHIELDS SATURDAY FOOTBALL SEPTEMBER 8TN 1923 The League.- II .
