ANOTHER DEFEAT. I j!LI?j??I?JrLffATLRa. j r 1 CI n I Why the Swans Lost. DURNIN ORDERED OFF (By "CYGNET.") f f Queen's Park Rangers 2, Swans 0. ? The Swansea Town eleven which tra.-I Lclled up to London on Friday in the )necr charabanc could not have been xpected to give a display with even a iuspicion of exhilaration in it. The iressmen who journeyed with the team, Uter having shared the discomforts with De men, cannot justifiably criticise them )r their display on Saturday afternoon. he Pioneer charabanc is one of the most mfortable road transport vehicles one kculd wish to ride in, but we are all uman, and a journey of 200 odd miles is :mnd to produce stiffness. On the jour- key up, by the way, the Press had a di- ?ilictly iincorifortal)le time, being IMt »ut in the cold, as it were, by thos? re- sponsible for the arrangements. Prob- 11.V this was due not so much to lack of ja irtesy as to the absence of thoughtfnl- pess. TJHSSITANCY. I f A fairly long report of the ?am? w&3 I 't. on the wires from London, but the riter was told before the match that ?ie chances of messages Retting through (te-rre very remote owing to the fact that Jhe telegraph lines were partly held up for Government work in connection with the strike. The Eangers undoubtedly fif-served to win, and, with more luck in the second half. the margin would have been wider. Still-and this is the fly in. li e ointment—the Swans should hare put the issue beyond all doubt in the first fiiteen minutes when, while a continuous pressure was being kept up. hesitancy in rout of goal resulted in glorious oppor- tunities going Swansea went off with a bang after Hewitt had won i-,t- toss, before a crowd of over 12,000. [There was little cohesion between the forwards, and as a general rule the at- tack was engineered by the two Browns. The flank men on a few occasions got ay, and Harris sent in some delight- cenfres, one of which certainly should h.-ne resulted in a score. Hesitancy, how- ever, gave the home backs time to clear. fTarris on one occasion sent in a hot shot from the right, but it just missed the Ivor Brown, too, was only a couple f inches away with his shot, .whilst the cmtre-half, his namesake, tested Merrick twice with low ground shots which the 1 pnolie held- There were other opportu- nities, but the forwards displayed deplor- able hesitancy, and made abundantly clear their painful weakness in front of feroal. ,.No COHESION. I k After the initial quarter of an hour the feungers settled down, and gradually asserted their mastery. Two goals came, lie first after thirty minutes as a result pf clever footwork by Donald, who non- plussed the whole of the visiting left Sank before sending in for Smith to just joeat Denoon. Seven minutes later Birch ilpvit- the ball into an empty goal after Jjonoon had made a really Zcod clearance py rushing out and fisting the ball away. B-efore he could get back to his post, Wiowever, Birch had netted. After this, end more particularly in the second a If, the Swans were all at sea. ¡.They could do nothing right, jVhilst the Rangers, who adopted f;;0rt passing movements, did everything •'er.copt score. Donald and Fox were par- ticularly clever on the flanks, particularly the latter, but it was the Rangers' centre 711ali (Mitchell) who gavo them almost all their chances. Attack is always the best 'defence. The Swans could never, after the first 15 minutes, develop an attack • simply because there was a hopeless lack iof combination. In defence zhis defeat [Was more than apparent. FEATURES. I J When the home supporters sympatheti- cally cheer an opposing player who has been ordered off,, there is something wrong JEcniewhere. On Saturday the referee sent .I)urn-iii back to the dressing-room fcr hit- ting Birch, the home inside right. Tho rreferec himself did not see the incident, but the spectators who did barracked Birch. When the latter complained to the holder of the whistlo, ho in turn con- I ierred with tho linesmen, only one of bom, I understand, supported the com- 1 ¡nt of the Rangers' forward. Durnin's i-ilegation was that Birch had deliberately on several occasions kicked him, and this was also the evidence, of the spectators. Vet Mr. Bailey, of Leicester, decided gainst Durnin. On the whole the rc- ree was not deliberately against Swan- eea, and one must ascribe his weakness either to lack of knowledge of the duties I oi a referee or lack of experience. That :s tho kindest way in which one can put PERSONLIA. I What would have happened to the Swans but for the magnificent display of Hewitt it is impossible to say. He was the one man in tho team who dominated Hery body else. His judgment in clear. ances and in attempting to effect open. ings was masterly, but the failure of th. orwartb severely tried his staying powers. Robson worked hard, but ho doe3 not appear to think before kicking. Tlie result oftentimes is that he balloons tho hall to euit the opposition. Heath. playe<J a far better game than he did on the pre- j vious Saturday, but there is room for much improvement. W. Y. Brown was weak for a big part of the game, but ha improved towards the end, and did really well, especially after Durnin had been ordered off. Durnin was reliable and a Tpal etickor. Harris and Tich Evans had few opportunities, and Ivor Brcwn had most to do and did it host of all the for- wards. Denoon, in goal, was a great fav- ourite with the crowd and in the second C.11 m e in for general cheers for some Teally good saves. He was often tested, and could not bo blamed for the two-goal defeat. HOW THE CLUBS STAND 1 Eontnern JjGagiuv—Division I. I P. NV D. L.

SOME THRILLS. ... - _ras_-…
SOME THRILLS. _ras_- All Whites Extended BRITONFERRY'S FINE FORWARDS. (By If PEN DRAGON.") An optimist, sitting behind me in the grand stand on Saturday, maintained that the Britonferry forwards consti- tuted the best pack in the Principality. Ho talked about the way in whicn they had swept the floor with Neath, and told. all who cared to listen that Swansea. wero in for something similar. Well, let it be conceded at once that the Bri- tonferry forwards wera undoubtedly superior to any eight we had. had at St. Helen's during the season—while they lasted. Their display in the first half must have made the Swansea officii feel quite uncomfortable. They heeled better than our men, and they played with greater abandon in the open. But such a pace could not last. There was a change after the interval, and with the Swansea backs getting the opportunities which had hitherto gone the way of the opposition, 18 points were quickly ac- cumulated. It is of interest that the guiding spirit among the Britonferry forwards was Jim Jones, of Swansea and Aberavon. His presence calls for a. word of explanation. He was. I hear, chieny instrumental in getting Briton- ferry to come here at the eleventh hour !Cri li?ll the gap, nd as m ex-Britonferry player he elected to assist his old club. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. It would have been a remavkable thing if Jim Jones's try for Britonferry had brought about the defeat of the All Whitos. Looking at the unal score, this assumption may seem ridiculous, but the fad remains that Swansea were in ai rears at tho interval, and at that point the visitors were shaping like winners. Indeed they might very well have led by five points when they crossed over if they had only possessed a decent goal- kicker. The try ought t-o have been converted, and a penalty kick, taken from a position right in front of the posts, was missed in incomprehensible fashion. Tho 'Fcrryites had implicit confidence in their fine pack of forwards; the were beaten in the end by better combination. MANY INJURIES. It was a game full of incident. Some of the i3ritonferry rushes fairly swept Swansea off their feet. They were vigor- ous, and the tackling was keen, but in spite of the number of injuries sustained by players it would scarcely be correct to speak of the game as rough. The most unfortunate accident of the afternoon was that sustained by Howell Lewis about 20 minutes from the end. Flynn had cut out a fine opening for him and Lewis was making a dash for the lino when he was tackled, coming down heavily and damag- ing his shoulder. Beynon had a cut over the eye and a couple of the visiting for- wards were also hurt. Arthur Edwards being off for rollle minutes with a nasty cut on the head. THE JUSTIFICATION OF FLYNN. A pleasant feature of the match was the justification of J. Flynn. There are some who feel that this young player has not received the encouragement to which his play has entitled him. I happen to know, however, that the selection commirtoe have been anxious to include him when he has not been available. Against Bri- tonferry he was our best threwpaarter. He cut out BOY,~en splendid openings, showed judgment, and a eofa pair of hands, and used tho touch line with discretion. One of tho best tl)iugg he did was the conver- sion from the touch line of the last try of the match. It was an effort worthy of Bancroft. On Saturday's form Fiynn can- not be left out of tho team for the game wiih Cardiff. Rowlands ran strongly on several occasions in the second half. Be- fore that he had no chance. Where be failed wag in hesitating when attempting to swerve. JBowen wae not in the picture 60 much as usual, but he made some pretty bursts towards the end, and was always a powerful kick. Howell Lewie's chances on attack were comparatively few. v RECRUIT FROM SKEWEN. The All Whites gave a trial to L. iVosser. the Skewen full-back, on the strength df -a good performance agaanst Mr. John Davies* XV. a couple of weeks ago. Ho did not impress. For one thing he kicked too much into the open; for another he was slow in fielding. Per- haps he was over-anxious. In any case when I saw him at Skewen he was quite a different player. Tom Griffiths, the Britonferry full-back, djd gplondidly- The Swansea halves were a more skilful couple than the Bri-tonferry par, but both Bevan and Handford were rare warriors. The Edwards', Jim Jones and R. Thomas, were the Britonferry for- wards who caught the eye most, but, as i have said already the pack were good to a man. The Swansea forwards who impressed most were R. Huxtable (who h,is never played a harder game"), Tom Parker. Ivor Rees. and A E. Jenkins.

PONTARDAWE BEATEN. The Pontardawe Rugby team suffered another reverse on Saturday, when they were defeated by three tries at the hands of Amman United on the Amman Valley ground. There had been several changes among the Pontardawe backs for the occasion, and this was principally instru- mental in bringing about the defeat, whilst the legality of two of the tries was also questionable, according to the version of several spectators.

 ?WTVy?? MOND SHIELD. I .———. ———— I Bowls Trophy Goes ] 1; to Manselton. I The fight for the Mond Shield has been prolonged beyond .cpectations, and the holders for the next twelve months could, not bo ascertained until Saturday last when Manselton and Pare Howard were opposed in the final at Victoria Park. Both teams had shown consistent form throughout the season, each suf- fering two defeats in league games be- I fora entering the final. Pare Howard have made u great fight and tied with Morriston in Section B, necessitating an extra game on the previous Saturday, in which the Llanelly woodrollers gained the verdict. The green was in splendid condition and excellent bowling resulted. From the outset it was at once seen that the tussle would be exceedingly close, and when five ends had been completed Pare I Howard were up 2 on a total of 21. The I Manseltonians afterwards wcra seen to better advantage, and a combined effort I on all the rinks placed them in a favour- able position, as they raised their total to 47, leading the Howardians by 15 shots. The Llanelly bowlers, however, kept pegging away, and despite their a# verM majority at the 10th end, man- aged to get on equal terms at the 15th end with the score at 59 all. Excite- ment soon began to have its effect upon the bowling, which deteriorated some- what at this stage. The Pare Howard quartets under Skips G. Thomas, W. Thomas, and Oily llussell finished in good time, and by a strange coincidence claimed the verdict by the smallest possible—one shot each. The fight on the other rink was keen, and as the re- su't depended on the excess of shots here both Skips D. Hinder and T. Weaver were all out to win the honours. When the other three rinks had finished with a oombizic-d excess of 3 shots, the Man- selto/lians under Skip Weaver at the completion of the 18th end were eight up. In the 19th end the Howardians lay five, but they were unable to hold them, as Trevor Weaver, in the semi- darkness, succeeded in drawing shot. THE TURNING POINT, i This was the turning point of the game, ? and the two remaining ends were sent j down in darkness, handkerchiefs being utilised to indicate 6. jack and land." The Manseltonian quartette in the last end managed to gain another four, which placed their total at 31, in reply to I the Tinplaters' score of 19. The victory of the Manselton bowlers on this rink I meant the. winning of the shield, as their ) aggregate was raised to 87. the Llanellvites follow<ng behind with 78. Manselton must be con3'ratulat?d upon their success, j and retain possession of the Mond Shield II for another twelve months. Pare Howard although disappointed, were the first to congratulate the winners. The Llanelly bowlers have proved true ¡ sportsmen throughout the season, and I have never failed to fulfil a league fixture, despite the fact that they have had to I I travel to Swansea for half their games. Between, the A and B teams nearly £6(} in train fares alone have been ex- pended. and it speaks well for tho enthu- I siasm* of the that they have fulfilled their programme without cancelling a sin-gle eaine.

OLD RIVALS. ————..————
OLD RIVALS. ————. ———— Exciting Features of Aberavon Game. Aberavon and Maesteg—old-time rivals —met for the first time since 1914 on Sat- urday on the ground of the former. Natur- ally the fixture drew a good crowd, and the visitors brought with them an enthus- iastic following of "gwyr yr Hen Biwyf." The game was contested in the best of spirit, and some really good football was witnessed. Maesteg had the advantage of having played last season, and their side wi;,e in the pink of condition. It was the lack of training that told against Aberavon. The Red -knd Blacks have not had a proper trial match, and practice has been desultory. Numerous opportunities were lost after excellent efforts just for the want of sustaining power and judg- ment that comes of constant training. Still the match served its purpose excel- lently. Aberavon have undoubtedly promising material, and one looks forward to seeing them again in the role of champions. Ring and Mitchell, the new men in the three- quarter line, are of the right stuff, and only want a little experience. Both have gneed and dash, and they will make fine partners for E. B. llees and Waters, the two stalwarts. On Saturday Con Evans was partnered by I>avie.% a Llanelly player who has just come to town. In the for- ward line Jim Jones and Ponsford were mining, and the performance of the pack was somewhat erratic. INDIFFERENT HANDLING. Fine forward dashes were followed by indifferent handling. If anything, they induHred in too much lobby play instead of sharp and quick passing, and it was thus that glorious chances were missed. On the whole the Aberavon supporters are well satis- fied with the result, although defeat, is smarting. The Red and Blacks had much the better of things territorially, but luck and training was against them. Aber- avon kicked off facing the sun, and made for the Maesteg 25, where Ring tried to get into position for a -drop kick. He was tacklod in possession, but later he relieved an opening out movement by the visitors. Some nice forward passing helped Maesteg considerably, but the at- taok was neutralised in the nick of time by the back division, and another ugly onset was saved by Con Evans. Just be- fore quarter time Aberavon made re- peated attacks by fine dribbling and pass- ing, and Mitchell came near to scoring both a try and a drop goal. He only missed the posts by inches. But it was Maesteg's luck to score and this came from T. Davies. He received a pass smartly just outside the 25 and dropped a beautiful goal. After erratic play on the part of Aberavon they bucked up all at once and Con Evans got away in midfield, passing on to Ring and Rees. The latter threw out to Mitchell, but. he was held just on tho line. Pin- followed this up with a sensational burst, and with a little experience he would have got through. Joslin made a weak effort with a free kick, and Maesteg came away with & rush. A fine piece of dribbling relieved Aberavon, and play was in the Maesteg 25 at half-time. Half-time score: Aber- avon, nil; Maesteg, 1 dropped goal. TREMENDOUS EXCITEMENT. Resuming, Aberavon threeq^arters brought the ball to the mouth of the goal, and there was tremendous excitement. Williams, the Maesteg back, held firmly, and a free kick was given. Joslin took it and bad hard luck. The ball struck the far post and rebounded into play. A long struggle followed in the Maesteg quarter. Suddenly the forwards got mov- in and dashed along prettily, but the ball got into touch. Juet after Ben Evans placed Maesteg another three points ahead with a neat try. Aberavon made- frantic efforts to score and camo very near in a great mix up bshind the goal, but they could not manage the trick. Final Score: MAESTEG-l dropped goal, 1 try. ABERAVON—Nil.
