Game Review
"Although that it had been officially declared yesterday that the old law relating to a player dropping the ball when held would not be applied until next week it was decided last night that it would be reverted to in today's games. The umpires were notified to this effect and before play started the players were also told." (Herald July 19)Carlton kicked with the wind to the outer end. The Blues were immediately into attack and Harry Vallence soon bought up the first score, a behind. Geelong went forward but was turned by Frank Gill, and Fred Williams drove the ball to Clover whose long place kick for goal was marked by Geelong's Hickey. His kick was in turn marked by Jack Green who kicked the Blues' second minor score. Carlton were playing better football and Les Allan soon snapped the first major. Horrie Clover then scored the second goal. Geelong bought up their first behind, then dashing play from Alec Doyle, to Jim Crowe and onto Horrie Clover who scored another goal. Geelong managed their first major, but the Blues swept down on the Geelong defenders with Horrie Clover marking a kick from Harry Vallence, and quickly replied.

Amazing Climax - Gas Released In Bar.
Melbourne July 21Judging from a remarkable incident which occurred in one of the liquor bars at the Carlton football ground, the use of noxious gas is to play an important part in the rivalry between hotel keepers in Melbourne.
The bar was crowded during the half-time interval of the Carlton-Geelong match, when nauseating gas was released in such quantities as to speedily clear it of occupants. The licensee, Mr. Charles Orr, is President of the newly formed Hotelkeepers' Association of Victoria, which embraces 200 licensees, all of whom sell Richmond beer. He stated to-day that he believed it was done to injure his business. All the barmen were effected by the fumes. One of them shortly before the occurrence noticed three men with a bottle, the contents of which were poured on the ground. The nature of the liquid or the gas is not known.
