FOOTBALL GOSSIP. J BY B. BENNISON. (Illustrated by Japk Dodworth). I have ly-cn asked wlhethor I think tbere are eii ma-nt, jxiopio attondin;; football maicihes as •Ghoro we no. say, a year ago. The question is asked because of the financial straits to wihich old clubs liko West Bromwioh Aiblion and Wool- wich AnrenaJ have been reduced. My answer to the qi>ery must be in tiho negative. It is becom- ing increasingly diTicuJt to run a big profes- sional club. not because expenses ¡;an become .heavier, rather i» it becaiwe ''ga'cs," except in. a fe. v centrts, arc not eo consistently larg'e. 'I'lie.ro I is less loyalty survoivg spectators Otul th«sra used to be; the team a-t iw not more tlrari reasonably fauocetMiul can uio foragor for a revenue suffi- ciently larafc to le&vo a margin of profit. Some peep* have an ide-a. Ithat a to3.iii in the First Le^uci is bxmd to pay better tha.n in the Sf-co^d I>i\sion, but it has been clearly domoo- srrated t.hat it doeli not so muoh matter whait company a chib keeps if iit can corrtain» to v^rn 1 ma.oot)OO. Ona bad heard that the "gates" 4&t Newcastle have a considerably lees this term; at Evorbc-n and at Manoiwgtet-, wbd in ottier parts of. tib. country, tihere haa been a. marked i'a-liing-off in the. attendftmoe*; as a matter of faiot, chere are very few managers who oan say that they a.ro thoroughly satisfied with blumr iii- oorae up to date. West Bromwioh and Wool- wich Arsenal have advertised the fact that lihey are in a bad way, but if the truth were known not more than hailf a dwcn clubs cocskkw t5>at they had all t support they deserved. My opiition is that ttho trouble between the Players' Uolon and the Foafcbafi Assooiatson has had more to do with tihe decreased tSban anything- else. Tliere are inajiy people who Jl'iokemed beca.uso of the severe oonrmercialtim of the thing, and it is to bo fsoped that whichever way the r.og"otiiack>ru for the olimkiation of the maximum wa^je enki thom wild be no more troublo over money- Keeiing the Pinch. The financial diuioulties of Woolwich Arsenal been brought about firstly by the vast change in ,L.:mdon football, secondly by the fact that working people for a long time have had little money to spend on football, and. again, owing to the team having done badly, Chelsea's rise, the going of Tottenham into the First Division, the secession of Fulha.m from the Southern I.-rague. are, a.;so circumstances that have hit Woohv;ch Arsenal very hard; but it is possible that: if the team at, Plurnstead turn over a new leaf by winning a fair number of matches flie management will be alxie to hod their end 1 up. Wt Brcicwich's position is entirely attri- j butab-c to their d.sapix>mting displays. I tihink most people thought they would make their chanoe of getting back into the liret position tolerably certain. The aocent to Pennington at the beginning of the season was a terribly serioa? handicap, but in no sort of way has the I team justified itself. Round about Birmingham there has been a decided si an: p in "fonn" and in tiie matter of "gates-" Aston Villa are doing all right, wo know, but Birmingham seen-- be- yond redemption. Chelsea in Luck. Thl. poor C.11 must envy Citheltca. Fancy, it j has been J"J:i\d necessary for the safety of the I' public to fix the admission to the ground when ii ..cy play Tottenham in the second round of the Cup at a shilling. Now, the ground at Stam- I ford Bridge, witio a Iltt-e more extra banking, ihoii'l bo quite capable of holding pretty near '100,000 folk; but, after the experience when the two clubs mot in the league, it. is feared that ur-:r.s the prices of aimiaiua were put, up all round eo many people would have to be sli u t. out that there roHjht be a riot. It is all very extraordinary, thu fear that the huge/amphi- theatre in the West End of Loooon will be i L:Lk-ii by storm, for if there were ever two clubs leas likely of putting up a really first-class game they are Chelsea and Tottenham. I have an idea that Uheiriea will bog in to p!ay in a ITMUI- ner balitting the tromerid(xi.s patronage given to t M. ti"1 ii -o of to them. They have an international lino of j forwards, and just recently tiwr« 11<16 been a de- cided imprcvoment at half back, a section of the team that has been entirely responsible for the poor results up to date. if Ben Warren re- turns none the wo™ toe his recent operation, the club thould uncommonly well. By the way. Warren's unfortunate mishap might open the way to Andrew L>uoat, of Woolwich, getting bts International cap. Only Warren has kept 'b;ill out Of hie, ooLti-.Irv*-i 1 should very much like to see Ducat- cappod, for I have an idea that he is a^future International. Manchester unitcd's Affairs. Manchester United wrii iicncefort.h be found at Old Tr.'iiTord on a ground that has OOtit some £ 20,000- No one will be sorry that they have baid good-bye to Clayton—u. terribly dreary place kt aLl tmies. Oltange of quarters may pos- sibly -bring them better "gatets," fai- as the management i* ocriocri;<xl, their groatest cause for anxwity haa to do with the inquiry into their aflairs b.v a commission of the Football As^cation. One has heard gtxany startling stories as to what. t3 likely to hapi>en. It is a long time since the two Sheffield eiubs wore knocked out of the first round of the Cup. Northampton's victory at Owlerton oarrie as a great surprLpAi to many people, I have no doubt, but North-Country folk may ulk it from me L that Northampton are a very g-ood team; quite the beet in the Southern 1/eague. I think- I have heard mere than one ood judge say that the Northampton forwards, arc about as service- able a line aj a club need have. It IS a. llkelv not that Nottingham wi!i be one of tiie sur- prises of the oomiietitioa. I cannot say definitely, but I think t.hat this is about the first time at tfii3 stage of the sea- son that Notts County have ever headed the First Division. Who would have thought the; would have got so highr

COMBINATION. CONNAH'S QUAY VANQUISH RHYL. Connah's Quay 4 j fihyl 2 i Clayed at tthyl on Saturday, before a moderate gate. The t-earrs were as follows COXNAH'S QUAY Bradley; Venabless, I'etei-s; A. Sheagle, R. Bussey, T. Lumbergh H. Williams, U NetH. W. J. Jones. J. Roberts, and Thornton. ltfiyl.; Snath Hugh Roberts, Carter; William*, A. Roberta, Tom Roberts Warburton, David Hugtiee, Beard. Frost, aad Bertie Jones. Keferee: Mr Slater. Llandudiio. Connah's Quay kicked off. and during the whole of the first half the visitors had much the larger share of the play, ami the bail was rarely out of the home half. Tho visitors took full advantage of the favour- able wind, and their forwards, well supported from behind, were remarkably quick on the ball, and their oombinatiun much superior to that of the home team. For the latter Beard played centre forward in the pla -e of Frost, but was not so much at home as he was in one 01 the outside places, and after half-time left the centre jxisitioti for an outside place, Alberit ltot>ert3. too, at half bacv, although he pycd a mag- nificent game, displaying energy and resource on many notabia occasions, would have tx«n more useful at full back, while Carter, who was playing full back, would have been more at home in the half-baok line. All "h. visitors to a mait exhibited much keenness and aUility. md were tho hotter team. Thornton opeitpd the-visitors' account, and a moment later the visitors added another from a penaity. Rhyl. although outplayed, indulged in several brilliant rushes, which, however, always wound up tamely, the wind generally spoiling the shooting. Most of the play centred ronnd the tume goal, which was often in danger. Smith, in goal, had been playing an heroic game, but now let in a.oompar:ltlycJy tame effort from Roberts, while shortly afterwards O'Neall put on a fourth for the visitors. Several smart saves were, however, negotiated by Smith. I HaIVe: Connah's Quay 4. Rhyl 0. The boneflt received from the wind were at onoe ap- parent for Rhyl within a few minutes after resumption had reduced the lead by two, one being sent in by Frcst, while the other went in off one of the visiting full baoks. Rhyl, although not the better team, cer- tainly had the best Of tlie argument in tlve second moiety, and ought to have at least equalised. But the visitors were by no means beaten, and madE" seve- ral dat-ge". us onslaughts on the home goal, the cus- todian, however, was always able to avert them. The game continued to be an exciting one to the end, but the homesters, try as they did. could not reduce the lead. Final result: Gonnah's Quay 4, Rhyl 2.

WELSH AMATuUR CUP. I (Third Round.) BANGOR v. HOLYHEAD SWIFTS. A FAST GAME ON A HEAVY TURF. BANGOR WIN "IN THE LAST FIVE MINUTES. • (By "Recorder"). This interesting tie was played at Bangor, 081 S>afcu.r<l-iy ai-tornr-on. before a fair s zed orowd. BotJi trains were roprerientativc, Bangor play- ing Dargfie. Hwfa Willianiti, and H. I>avies; and a feature about the Holyhead team waa that it contained three broftherfi—the Jones'. that it contained three broftherfi—the Jones'. Tho weather WAS tdeaJ. though the ground waa rather on the .so-ft' side. The teants were — BANG Oil RESERVE:—'Ted Owen; Hwfa I Williams and 1,1,. 31 Thomas; D. T. Davies, H. J. Davies, ani3 A. Owen; Rowlands, Dargic, 1-1. Owen, II. Davies, and E. Lloyd Jones. HOLYHEAD:—Collier, O. Morgan and Rowland Will jams; Taylor. W. T. Jones, and R. Elliii; Hugh Brown, Hugh Williams, R. Chambers Jones, H. O. Jones, and W. Salis- bury Owen. Referee: Mr T, Jones, IIo1 vwell. Winning the t-ose, Holyhead played in the direction ef High-strc«2t, and showed up well in tlie opening movements. Then Rowlands dashed along the wing, making fine headway until Dick Ellis stopped his progress, but Dargie secured possession, kicked the ball ahcci'j, and out Collier came to ineeit it. Both met th ball the stnie time, but Dargie's foot was the stronger, and the ball slid into goal, oight minutes from the start. The Citizens were again aggress-ive, but Rowland Williams intervened at the right minute. At the other end. R. C. JOIKV;, thinking that Ilwfa Wil- liams intended clearing, stood atill; Hwfa dwiii t clear, and the ohance went a-begging. Holyhead were now playing a man short, Col- lier having injured his toe, but ho soon re- turned. During his absence, H. Williams took up the position between the sticks, and had to d,?al with a hot 'un from Dargie. He managed to got it out by hook or by crook. and H. Owen dashed up, sent the ni a-gf-n, and, luckily for Holyhead, it struck the temporary custodian on the leg- The game swerved from end to end, Rowland Williams do:n.g capital things for Holyhead. It looked odds on Holy- itead equalising when W. S. Owen went sailing down the wing, but he l,finished up by missing his kick. St 11 the visitors pressed, and Hum- phrey Jones receiving the bal from tho wing promptly summed the ball into the net—a. hurri- cane shot, which left Ted Oven without a ghost fIi. a chanoe. HOLYHEAD IN FORM. Encouraged by thja goal, Holyhead kept buzzing about Bangor goal, and they showed superior form, their combination being as inter- esting ad it was clever. Though harassed by several opponents, H. Owen sent in a screw shot, which struck the post and flew out to Dargie, who cooiy scored B&ngor's second goal. '{'h. genie Nwaa vigorously contested, and neitlser aido oould claim an advantage. The home for- wards did not give entire satisfaction, the pass- ing being inaccurate. Still they managed to ¡ eoore the thirdgüal as the result of a very bad mistake by Collier- Harry Rowlands from very t.oBc range triad his luck, and the ball bounded in front of Collier, who leisurely tried to catch it, but it slipped ever his sihoulder into the net, to the amazement of the custodian. The visitors tried long range shots, which might have proved effective with a. less capable custodian than Ted Owen, who, however, had ail he could do with attempts by Brown and Hugh Williams. Dargie was threading his way through the Holyhead defence when Rowland Williams brought him down with a thud, and cleared the danger. Half-time: Bangor 3, Holyhead, 1. During the interval there was a disturbance, following, it is said, an indiscreet remark by one of the visiting players to the crowd. Holy- head were tlie first to press after the inter- vaJ, but twioc H. Brown was given offside. Hugh Williams had the chance of his life, for he had only the custodian before him, but his final shot went away. D. T. Davi-es was accidentally kicked in the face, and this de- layed the game some time. HUMPHREY JONES' FINE GOAL. Some slackness among tho Bangor defen- ders let in the Holyhead forwards, and after Ted Owen had made one save, the balllaTIded a.t the toe of Humphrey Jomes, who, with all his might, sent in, and thus Holyhead scored their second goal. In less than a minute, Humphrey Jones drew leveJ, scoring when Ted Owen was on the ground. Holyhead quite deserved both goals, for their forwa.rds were in a winning vein, though the home de- fence seemed to take the game ratlier leisure- ly. The Bangor right wing was practically starved, and when Rowl was given a. chance he parted to H. Owen, who missed scoring by a few inches. Rowland Williams continually cleared his lines, and won ohoera from the Holyhead contingent. Some con- fusion was caused by the appearance of a second baJJ on the field, but the extra one was soon sent out of play. The Bangor defence was very shaky, a.nd with a. little luck Holyhead would have boen ahead. 'Try as they would, the Bangor forwards could not get past "Doctor," who was reaUy fine. With only ten minutes left the Holyhead forwards commenced pressing with great vigour. Amid a scene of groat excitoment H. Owen ptrt Bangor ahead- H. Da vies ran down the field, and when close in eluded Mor- gan, and tapped the ball to H. Owen, who cleverly sent the ball ove.r shoulders into the nd--4-3. Bangor now did all the pressing, and seemed bent on making t.he remit certain, and II. Davies scored the fifth goal "all on his own," putting tho issue beyond doubt.

NOTES ON THE GAME. Holyhead are always & thorn in the side of the homesters and ma.ny a hot tuesie hus been witnessed on the town ground, and to-day proved no exception- • I Bangor were aguin assisted the three favour- ites, Dargie. Hughie Owen and llugtno Da vies. # » The game opened in a ding-dong way, and the playem appeajred to be afraid of each other, but. the reign of the terror soon giave place to sterling work. • « After seven minutest play got through and with only Collier in front, did the needful amidot great excitement- • Charging is quite legitimate but there are times when this is carried into exoess and natur- ally raises the ire of an excited orowd. Tthia was demonstrated when Rowlands, the tomo outside riglht, was sailing away, and Row- lands, Ike a "oha.rgor" rmthoo with terrific force and the homo forward was toon non- plussed. » » • • Soon after Collier limped off the ground, and when asked the reason politely said that "lie had Ir.cked his big to3 against i>a.rg'!e's foot-" Although strangSedy put, the moaning was ap- parent. • « » During CoJUiecr's temporary absence H WiI- liams stood between tho frame and he was not Jong before Dargie gave him a surprise packet. lie saved well a.nd Hughjo Owen was JUM. a seoond too late to elioot into an oijen goal. # 1 Holyhead had a good turn at the home end and shot after hot was sent in direction of Ihome goal, but unfortunately for them, they invariably miasod the mark. • » ♦ « Success came a.t last- and it was well deserved. « From a. p-arfect pass from the right Humphrey Jonos shot IIko a. man a.nd made matters even. It wa, a. fine goal and there was not a bit of Juck about it- f ft « C Bangor were now having the worst of it, and before their opponents were given marching or- ders Ted Owen had a beauty to save, which he did when full length on the ground- Woil on Bangor awoke, as a giant refreshed 'f with wine, and as a result the game was most exciting. • • • Contrary to other opportunities, Edgar oem. tred to the right and proper quarter, and this led up to a. loveily movement. Hughie Owen, with a rasping shot, sen* crash against the post, and from the rebound Dargie put on No. 2. Approaching ooffec time Bangor were in the best of mood, and the third suooees came about in a very armitjing manner. » • • Rowlands let fly, and Collier was prepared for duty- trho- leather passed between his hands and rolled over his sMuldcffi into the net, and the poÎ1¡t was hailed witll great laughter. • • • • Just on time Ted Owen had two beauties ifl quick succession, a.nd it would havo been no surprise if he had fell a victim to the last, but was there, and did his duty well. a • • • The whi sounded with Bangor at the head with 3 to 1, and they deserved every ^joint. • • • As tihe players walked off feeling was high, and something happened by the pavilion. What it was we are unable to state, but something had gone wrong with either players or crowd « • # » Holyhead had the first, chance to achieve fame, but Hugh Williams, when in the best of posi- tions, made a bad show, and shot yards wide. Some cHOy-daMying on the pairt of the hoime dctenoe led to Bangor's second downfall. Humphrey Jones was the lucky man, and Ted was beaten to the world. « Another mess by the defemoe accounted for a. further disaster, and Humphrey Jones had a. comparatively easy task to put on the equaliser. Bangor appeared to have a fit of the blues, but they soon came out of their shell, and Hughie Oweai enlivened tho proceedings with a line effort, which rested in the side net. •* « Ten minutes off Üme. Ba.ngor appea-rrd to have realised their position, and did what they had failed to do for the major part of the half. m, 1t Playing as they ought to have done, Hugihie Owen got through fivmi a pass by Dargie and he planted safe keeping, but the whistle had previously sounded for off-side- # » Six minutes to go and Bangor at their best. f # Hughie Owen, through, and a goal.

CONWAYITES DEFEATED AT LLANDUDNO. Liandiudao Amateurs 4 war 2 j The J J/ai:>cruicHno Amatours on Satuirdlay cm'ler- tained Conway in ft Ijeagme fixture. The ro- fer«s Mr R. D. Iliobajicte, arraangied tihe teams 36 follows:— LLANDUDNO AMATEUP.S:-Otallard; a. Pearson and J. H. Jones; H. Davies, John- son, a.nd J. Brown; E. D. Williams, Brookes- Evans, J. Williams, Bob Davies, and J.m Williams. CONWAY:—Llow. Parry; Tom Jorics and O. Ellis; G. Wilktuns, Bob Owen, and W. Evans; T. Craven, Joe Hughes, E. Davies, T. Morga.n, and S. Parry. From the kick-off Llandudno pressed, and Brookes-Evans missed an open goal. Even- tually, the liomesters secur<vj a corner, which was well centred, and Johnson scored the first goal. End to end play followed, and Conway secured two corners in quick succession, and later on were awarded a penalty, when nob Owen scored ca-sily with a shot. Immediately afterwards, Llandudno were awarded a penalty, and Brookes-Evans took the kick, but Llew. Parry saved well. Bob Davies rushed itp, and with a torrific shot scored number two for the homesters. The horn-caters again pressed, and csnavcd several shots at goal, which were well warded off by Llew. Parry. Craven got possession of the leather, and broke away, but the home d. fence proved too strong. J. Williams made a nice run up, but shot wide of the mark. Half-time: Llandudno, 2; Conway, 1. Immediately alter restart Llandudno got through, and J. Williams scored. Conway were by no means done with, and combined well. Their goal had a narrow escape after Parry was beaten. The visitors got posses- sion, when Davies made a nice run up and passed to Joe Hughes, the latter placing the leather satelv in me net, and notching a point for Conway. The homesters were awarded a penally from which Johnnie Wil- liams scored easily, thus putting Uandudno four up. The homesters continued the pres- sure, and J. Williams despatched a beauty to Llew Parry, who saved well. The home- sters were soon after awarded a corner, but failed to convert. Einal Llandudno A. 4, Conway 2.

COLWYN BAY v. BLAEN~\Lr FES- TIN IOG. Blaenau Ecsliniog came to Colwyn Bay on Saturday afternoon to m-ccO the BayJtes ui a. League tourney. The following players lined up :— COLvVYN BAY Hallwood; T. W. Ellis and O. L. Williams; Ned Griffiths, R. Pierce, and J. Ellis; Norman Pritchard. II ughes, Southern, Stanley Hughes, and Howell Pritchard. BLAENAU EESTINTOG: WnittaUer; Tom Hughes and Bob Ellis Kinncar, Mor- ris, and W. II. Williams; \V. J. Penny. M. Roberts, J. Hughes, and \V. 1<. Rowlands. Referee: Mr K- L'ûyd-W3Tllioons, Bangor. At the start Southern gained possession, and immediately parted to S. Hughes, who placed the leather in a position of which he promptly availed himself, and beat Whit- taker with case. The Baylies continued pressure, and made another determined at- tack, which Ellis cleared in the nick of time. During the next fifteen minutes play was, of an even character, the respective goalkeepers being called upon twice. At length Norman Pritchard, who was playing pretty football, made an opening with a dead centre, and Hughes netted neatly at close quarters. The visitors rallied, and within two minutes Hughes beat Hallwood at the other end. After a smart attack Norman again beat the visiting defence, and South- ern scored. I-laif-tiiiie Colwyn Bav 3, Blaenau Fes- tin iog 1. After ends had been changed the game de- teriorated considerably, until within a few minutes of the close. Thi:, was due in a measure to the state of the ground, which by this time offered poor foot-hold. Col- wyn Bay forced a corner off Ellis, but the flag kick was of no avail. At the other end the same thing happened through a slip by the other Ellis. Delightful footwork by Norman Pritchard led to a spirited attack on the Eestiniog goal, and Southern all but rushed the burly Whittaker and the ball through, the custodian saving at the expense of a fruitless corner. Subsequently O. E. Williams miskicked j badly. and let in three of his opponents. Hallwood, who was hard pressed, ran out, and instead of kicking the ball up trusted to his foot, with the result that he made the same mistake as Williams, and the visiting inside left shot into an empty goal. Colwyn Bay promptly retaliated, and Howell Prit- chard centred, Norman of that ilk netting the fourth smartiy. Aggressive work by the visiting inside two led to another goal from Penny directly aiterwards. Then to the end Eestiniog attacked spiritedly, but failed to secure the equalising goal.

A WIN FOR PWLLHELI. (By "Ricardo.") Pwllheli 4 L&anberia 3 Last Saturday PwlUholi had a fule day to play a Loague fixture for onoo this season. The txnteet came off at the Pwllheli Recreation Grounds. Owing to the election the numbor of spectators was not jargfo. M r WaJior Parry, Golwyn Bay, was bins rcriereo. players wero:— PWLLHELI: Bob Williams; Bob Pug-he and Griffith Evans;. Saunders Williams, R. H. White, and Bob Jones; R. D. Roberts. W. Griffith, Owen Jones, J- Williams, and Bon. Evans. LLANBERIS: O. J. Owem; R. Lloyd Hughes and Morris Jones.; Dan. Jcncs, VV. 11. Pridh- ard, and Dan. Roberts; W. If Williams. W. R Williams, Buck, E. Lloyd Hughes, and W. R. Thomas. The Penquins were up and attacking the Ll-anberis proat in half a minute after the start. Bob Evans aiming an accurate shot for goal, but Owen stopped it. Owen JOn.e6, smarttJy scored for tihe homesters. "Tie visitors began to put up a good fight, their strategy and attack being good, and the inside left tricd well for goal. They afterwards got wet) up in front of the home goal, but R D. Roberts collared the leather, and down he dashed. PWLLHELI TWO UP. In order bo' a.vo d the visa toes' defence, he passed to J. Williams, and the Pe-nquizia w-q another point. The next moment R. D- Ro- berts nearly repeated this successful p'ny. Tlie homesters were almost penalised within the penaity area, but they escaped with oily a froo kiok. But the LLanberis backs hurled back the onslaughts made on them once and again, and their forwards, witJi Buck leading, j acquitted themselves well. They frightened i tho borne defenoc. G. Evaina and B. Pughe lougdtt desperately, and Bob Jones oame to (ib&ir aid. The pressure was for a minute or so relieved, but Buck again led on his own fineJy. Afcer he had actually got right into the goal mouth he blundered and kicked wide. But Buck bucked up. as-id succeeded in getting a well earned goal. The L'enquins brushed up a bit, a.nd began spraying the I/lanbens goal wath shots, but luck was evidently against them. W. R. Thomas, K LI. Ilughes, Buck, W. It. Williams, Uid W. H. Williams, supported' by the backs, made some One exchanges, though their goal shots wero occasionally erratic. Once they a .most plaoed the Penquins in a very tight I oorne-r. Bob Pughe, Bob Jones, White, G. Jones, and Saunders Williams witihstocd tht attack splendid.y, and succeeded in changing the eccne of operations. Stun-deri dribbled1 smartly right up the held, dodged his opi)-o- no.its, and finished with a fine goal. Ben BVans, on the left wing, did not fail to make t-he bast uss lie oould of every ohance afforded him. Just now O. Jones failed only by half an indh in getting the ball into tho net- Half-time: Pwfilieli 3. Lianberis 1. If anything Lianberis played better during tiho second half. At once R. D. Roberts* be- oanbe a dangerous player for the visitors, though he was matched oooasionaky in swift- ness of foot and dodging by W. H. WiTiams. Two or three times R. D. Roberts was within an ace of getting a goail. The visitors manoeuvred susieessful out of their punned position, and got well up to the home fortress. Buck, the two Wi',Liam-.es, Thonsos, and K. Lloyd Hughes pushed the backs more and moie within the penalty arm, and at a critical moment in tlie fray Pwllheli fouled an opponent, with the tiestilt that a penalty kick gave anothiei point to the visitors. But the moment the ball was in play, TWO PENALTIES. Owen Jones displayed some of liis fine tactics, and was rewarded with tlie fourth goal for Pwllheli. A minute or two later another pena-lty was recorded against the l'ej)quiu3. The two I>.wii<V.s and Prichard stopped a dangerous move by the Penquins. It re- sulted, however, in a corner, and O. Jones headed over the er*)Sbar. The visitors made several rushes for goal. Suddenly Whi.te, the Penquirvs's wjitre-lialf, struggled with the visiting forwards, and got right through the defence, and sent a stinging shot for goal. The custodian had a narrow m.ve. Lianberis advanced all along the lane. They were repulsed onoe, but they renewed tjie attack, conquered the defence, and got thoir third goal. From now until the finish there was not much to chronicle, exoept that U. D. Roberts, Buck, W. H. Williams, Saunders WiWams. J. Williams, W. Griffith, GrilBth Kvans, W. R. Williams, and B. Pughe played well. The game closed with the follow- ing figures Pwllheli 4, Lianberis 3.

GLASINERYN SWIFTS v. LLANGEFNI Playeid at Glasrinfryn 0:1 Saturday- The toa-nrs were composed as foilows GLASINERYN O. R. Jones; W. D. Thomas, Stanley; R. Thomas. C. Pierce; II. Hughes; Eardley, E.

Glasinfryn soon began to press, and a promising move by their right wing was spoilt through R. Thomas handling. The resultant free kick proved fruitless. A corner kick for Llangefni was well pi a cod by Davies, and E. Thomas had no difficulty in netting the tcirst goal. The liorrie, full-backs were playing a grand game, their defence being sound. W. Brown, the centre-forward, from a very awkward position, scored a brilliant goal, Newton Williams having no chanoo to save. llanmer shortly afterwards converted a penalty. Newton Williams now distinguished himself by caving a hot shot from Browne. r Haif-tltno: LlangcJwi 2, Glasinfryn 1. On the restart Glasinfryn soon-*showed they meant business, E. J. Roberts sending in a shot which just went wido of the mark. Not to be denied, the Llangefni men attacked, and the Glasinfryn goalie had to save a Gtingcr from E. Jones. Shortly afterwards Eardley, with a rasping shot, equalised. Final: Glasinfryn 2, Llangefni 2.
