It wasn't long after that McGrory and Pentland collided. As both were sprawled on the ground it seemed Pentland was the one more seriously injured. At least it was quite a while before he regained consciousness. McGrory in the interim, was led to the outside line and given medical treatment. He walked from the field, apparently in pain, while Pentland continued in goal.
As no substitutes are permitted, Celtic resumed with ten men. And if you think that was a handicap, you don't know Celtic. The Green and Whites ran the Wanderers off their feet, and it was a good thing for Nat Agar's heart that the referee blew the final whistle after Celtic had five goals to none for Brooklyn, or it might have been worse.
Willie Cook, right back of Celtic, who suffered a broken tooth and lacerations on the lip after an alteracation with a member of the Pawtucket Rangers last Saturday took in the proceedings from a grandstand seat. The twenty-one year old fullback had only words of praise for the impressive work accomplished by Robert Whitelaw, his substitute.
There was entirely too much rough stuff toward the end of the second half. R. Thomson, Scarff and William Hughes of Celtic and "Sandy" Wood and Lajoz (Dezso) Grosz were the offenders.
