stages of the game, metaphorically speaking, "came out of their
shells," and, along with the forwards, took an active part in the siege.
Shots were aimed thick and fast at the goalkeeper, and at length
Stewart, with a shooter, sent the ball spinning through, making the
second goal for the Queen's Park. The teams then faced up in the centre,
and the tremendous cheering which greeted the scoring of the second goal
had scarcely died away when the Vale team made one last but brilliant
effort to equalise, but they were driven on by Smellie and Arnott, and
at length the whistle sounded, leaving the Queen's Park the winners of a
match in every way worthy of the final tie for the Challenge Cup by two
goals to one. Although the strain now and again was pretty heavy on the
players when at close quarters, the contest all through was conducted in
the most friendly way, and showed a marked contrast to some final ties
played a few years ago. It may also be mentioned that the premier club
have not held the trophy since 1885-86, when they defeated Renton by
three goals to one; but of the seventeen matches played in the final the
Queen's Park have carried off no fewer than nine, while the Vale come
next with three.
