STOKE V. SOUTH SHIELDS . South Shields had four changes from last week in their team to meet Stoke at the Victoria Ground this afternoon , Hoffman , Dreyer , Charlton and Donald appearing for Walker , Hampson , Lilly crop and Richardson , while Stoke had Brittleton back in the side . The teams were : SOUTH SHIELDE Cresswell Hofman 49 Kay STOKE Maitland Metcalfe Hopkins Dreyer Keenlyside Woods Charlton Hawes Donald O Tempest Burton Brown Watkin Spencer Forrester Clarke Twemlow Brittleton Milne It was a beautiful daythe ground being bathed in sunshine , and 17 : 000 spectators were present when the teams turned out . The Game . Shields won the toes and Brown started the game for Stoke . Shields were early aggressive , and Hawes initiated a pretty movement on the left . Stoke retaliated , however , but Cresswell and Mait land had plenty of time to clear their lines , and it was not long before Keenlyade got away on the right . His pass to Woods , how ever , was intercepted cleverly by Twemlow . Again the right wing was prominent , and Kennlyside , from a judicious return by Met- . calfe , carried the ball to the 18 yarde mark , but instead of centring , he shot and hit the side of the net . Once Charlton got clear away , but he pushed the ball too far forward in his eager ness , and Milne cleared . Stoke had a spell of pressure following this , and Dresswell was prominent with some powerful Kieking . Neither Hoffman nor Kay had , however , been troubled up to this stage . Raid by Stoke Donald beat Brittleton and was running down the field when he was well tacklett by Elle , who cleared splendidly . There was a brief period of anxiety for the Shields defenders when Brown raced away and was about to shoot at close range when he was stopped by Cresswell . Play centred round the Shields goal for s time , and in a combined raid by the Stoke forwards , Burton headed wide to the dis . appointment of the crowd . The pressure was eventually relieved when Clarke handled , and from the free kiok Woods went away on the right . Timely Interventions Twemlow , however , oleared the danger Ahely . Bo far , there had been little opportunity for marksmanship by the forwards . Both sets of defenders were showing such stubborn resistance that the goalkeepers had scarcely anything to do . Cresswell won admiration from the crowd for his timely interventions during the Stoke attacks , and for his powerful kicking . There was a thrill for the crowd and at the same time an escape for Bhields when Watkin , under difficulties , cleverly : hooked the ball towards goal , only to se -t mis the post by inches . corner , Maitland next conceded which came to nothing , and for a time there was little of importance in the Then followed a glorious opportunity Zor Keenlyside . He was given a long low past by Charlton , and , being quite nooncerned , he raped tot goal , but he put top much power behind his centre , and none of his forwards were able to rather the ball . Again Keenlyside was at fault when he tried to beat Forrester and Twemlow instead of centreing , and another good I opening was lost . In a race for possession Brown beat Cresswell , but Maitland dashed across and saved an awkward situation . Tame Game . The first half hour of the game had been devold of sparkling incidents there were few thrills of any kind . The and play in midfield was good , but in front of goal the forwards werd allowed little Jatitude by the defenders .
