Notts kicked off, but the home team at once took, up the running, and , after some smart passing in front of goal, Mulvey beat Toone. Vigorous play followed, both teams putting in some capital work, the Celts having it anything the best of it for a time. Wakening up somewhat, the visitors had grand combined work, and a slip by Cullen nearly let them in, but Reynolds, who was playing splendidly, cleared. Campbell and Mulvey broke away, and when near goal the latter shot, and Toone was compelled to concede a corner, followed immediately by another. Both were well placed but fruitless. The game was transferred to Celtic quarters, where the visitors retained the play, but could not score. At half-time the score stood — Celtic, one-goal; Notts County, nothing. On resuming, the visitors at once assumed the aggressive, And Cullen had a hot time fisting out. A rousing kick by Reynolds raised the siege, and Campbell and Maley were soon sprinting down the wing only to be brought up by Whitelaw. An accident to Sorrie forced him to retire for some lime, during which Oswald, after a sharp attack, scored owing to a slip by Dunbar.
