Mr Butter states that the Lliiiieliy players admit 1 hey were beaten. The result, one goal and a try to nil is sufficient evidence of that. What tho Llaneliy team ee nplaiuo I ot waa tbo rough manner they weie handled, not. their deieat, which was of secondary importance to them, and the j indilfcrence ot the referee wilen appealed to by Llaiiflly men respecting the conduct of I the Aberavon players.

If no i want to see no more of it, With regard to Ur Butler's re.'arcuco to the cancelling of the fixtures, such a thin-; was never mentioned at the committee meeting, as it was tbo wish of the players, I informed the committee that they wodid net ou any conditions play again at Aber- avon.
