City Fade Out After Holding Two-goal Lead.

Boscombe Win at St James's.

Exeter City 2
Bournemouth and Boscombe 3.

Regan (pulled muscle) and Rew (facial injuries) were unable to take part in the City's match against Bournemouth this afternoon. After some discussion Grant was chosen to deputise for Regan, and Smith for Rew. Bournemouth, challenging strongly for second place in the table, had Blair, the former Scottish international, at inside-right. McGibbon, scorer of 27 League goals this season, led the attack.

BOSCOMBE:

Three goals in a thrilling five minutes' phase transformed the out

look at St James's Park, where Exeter were beaten in their Division III South game after dominating the play for an hour and leading by two goals (Smith and Clark from a penalty) to nil. Exeter looked at this stage to have a winning margin but the whole team faded out and Stephens, McGibbon from a penalty, and Stephens again scored for Bournemouth.

Friendly match at Axminster.
