The Aberdare Leader

Among the Juniors. BY MUDDIED OAF." Association ABERDARE AND DISTRICT JUNIOR ASSOCIATION LEAGUE. Aberaman Stars v. Aberdare Crescents. —This match excited a lot of interest in local circles owing to the fact that both teams are widely known in the league. The Crescents, who have won the League Cup twice in succession, fielded a strong eleven, whilst the Aberamanites were also at full strength. Mr. Jack Jones, Aber- aman, officiated as referee. The League wimers were the aggres- sors in this match from the very outset, Ned Wrentmore being tested in goal. As- sisted by a sound defence, the Crescents by dint of good forward play, conceded a corner which, however, proved abortive. The Stars came away prettily, but the visiting half-back line, which, Iby-the- way, included Alf Pickering in the cen- tre, were too strong. However, the Cres- cents changed the venue through good in- dividual work, and Cliff Brain placed a. nice centre from which Pritchard made no mistake in beating Wrentmore with a lightning shot. Further efforts by the Aberdarians pioved futile, the ball going behind. Nevertheless, the Stars gradu- ally worked up a bout of passing, and de- livered several dangerous shots at the 'Crescents' citadel, but Evans was trust- worthy. A few minutes before the inter- val Evnon, one of the Crescents' forwards, was ordered off the field for an alleged infringement of the rules. Half-time Score: Crescents, 1 goal; Stars, nil. After the resumption, which opened with plenty of exchange kicking, the Stars became rather dangerous, but the defence of the Crescents halves and backs told its tale. Dai Pritchard afterwards forced a rush up the field, and ultimately invaded the Aberaman quarter. Here Dai Lewis "handled" within the penalty area, and from the penalising kick award- ed the Crescents, Brain scored. Immedi- ately afterwards the same player was forced to retire, having injured his ankle. The Stars played becomingly afterwards, but the Crescents succeeded in maintain- ing their unbeaten certificate.—Final Score Aberdare Crescents, 2 goals; Aber- aman Stars, nil The game was stubbornly contested. The reader can hardly realise the condi- tions under which the match was played. In fact. it was a football field "assa-,ilt-at- arms," party feeling being very manifest. There was a profusion of black eyes, and the diversity of opinions amongst a few sets of supporters had to be settled under the Queensberry Rules. Coming to in- dividual players, Tom Williams, Snow, C. Williams, Evan Daviee, and Rosser were very prominent on the Stars' eleven, whilst on the other side there was hardly any difference between the players, all playing with their customary dash. INTER-TOWN SCHOOLBOYS' MATCH. ABERDARE v. CARDIFF. Immense interest was manifested in the first meeting between the representatives of the Aberdare Schoolboys' League and last at the Athletic Grounds. Quite a large crowd lined the ropes. Several changes were made in the Dare eleven, whilst the Cardiff combination was pre- cisely the same as that which played Sheffield in the Schools' Semi-Final Round some weeks ago. The City lads. who were altogether a heavier lot, were accompan- ied by Mr. George Mercer, the well-known authority on the Association code, in- cluding several teachers and supporters. Mr. Jenkin Howell, Aberdare. officiated as referee, in the place of Mr. Mercer. The match from the very beginning was fought at a great pace, much keen- ness being displayed by the respective sides. The Dare lads had to play against the slight gradient, and were greatly handicapped in size and weight. The Cardiff backs were early called into oper- ation, and their lengthy kicking was too powerful for the homesters, whose backs played a really becoming game in keeping their goal line intact. The shooting by the City boys was well directed, and young (Griffiths was soon in evidence be- tween the Aberdare goal. The Cardiff- ians' first goal appeared to be rather off- side, but it is not my business to dispute the referee's ruling. The Darians after- wards played pluckily through Thorney, Mansel Rees. and Hopkin Williams, and some really delightful bits of passing was indulged in by W. T. Williams (Pinkey) and Dicky Watkins. However, the Car- diffians' defence could not be penetrated. The visitors were subsequently very con- spicuous with their headwork, but failed to Let when in front of goal. Aberdare got awav once more, and Dicky Rees was seen to advantage on the left wing. Cadmore, on the other wing, rarely had a chance against his heavier opponent, so the City boys pressed once more, and Dai Morgan and Mansel Rees cleared their lines. The Cardiff forwards were afterwards going "great, guns," being admirably fed by their backs, and notably by Feardy, the centre half, who was very through- out. Ultimately the visitors scored a second goal through a misunderstanding betwen the Dare backs. A corner kick conceded by Aberdare proved futile. The Darians depended on their backs until the interval. Half-time score: Cardiff, 2 goals; Aberdare, nil, Card.iff reopened the game with more dash than they had shewn previously, but the Dare lads were soon admirably sup- ported by their backs, and their forwards changed the venue. Following a sharp burst on the right, Thomey sent to Dicky Watkins, and -th-, latter placed a centre from which "Pinkey" scored with a bril- liant shot to the accompaniment of cheers. The local boys were next promin- ent in bits of pretty combined play, but could not score in spite of good chances. The Darians now had more of the game than in the initial half, and they kept the ball well within the Cardiff territory, but again missed scoring from easy chances. The Cardiffians at times enlivened the proceedings with scientific headwork, but the second moiety gave no more goals to the visitors. Final Score: Cardiff Schoolboys. 2 goals. Aberdare Schoolboys 1 goal. The display given by the local boys was very creditable, and with the exception of Stubbing they were individually pro- minent. Unquestionably, "Pinkey," the Park representative, was the idol of the crowd. Not only was he the smallest player on the field, but the most cunning and tricky on the Dare side. Dick Wat- kins (Higher Grade) and Dick Rees (Robertstown) were next in order of merit. On the City boys' side, Tyler, the speedy right outside, Harding and Gough- ham, were also very effective at tackling and individual work. At half, Thorney and Mansel Rees (Higher Grade) and Hopkin Williams (Blaengwawr) were ex- ceedingly smart, but the opposing halves were smarter, aind Feardy at centre was about the best. Coming to the full-backs, the City pair were stronger in their kick- ing than the home backs, of whom Dai Morgan (National) was the pick. In goal Tommy Griffiths (Ynyslwyd) playprl like a Trojan. His cool display in s-jv'ug from critical positions woo for him 11 admir- ation of the crowd. Taylor, on P other hand, had barely anything to The Aberdare lads are to be congra t J! ted on being beaten by only a goal by a team of such experience. This speaks well for the coaching which the lads have had by the local teachers. Trecynon Windsors v Gadlys Midgets. j —Played in the Park in fine weather. The Windsors were at full strength, whilst the Midgets played Howells of Gadlys Rovers. The Windsors started, and after a bout of passing scored through George Davies. The Midgets started, and tried hard to pass Mor- < gans and Co. at back. After some mid- field playing the Windsors, after a rush, ] scored, and the whistle blevv_ for half- < time. Half-time score: Windsors, 2 goals; Midgets, nil. < The Midgets started, and Jones scored. The Midgets again pressed, but Jones was safe at back. After some fine combin- ation by Gardener, Tim, amd Nen, Gar- dener scored the third for the Windsors. Dan Jones was in tip-top form at half, and nearly scored several times. The Windsors were now going strong, and scored again through Nen. Final: Windsors 4 goals. Midgets 1 goal.

FOOTBALL NOTES. BY SPECTATOR. Rugby. Last Saturday Cwmaman entertained Ton, Pentre, in a. league match, which was to decide who were to be the ultim- ate holders of the Second Division League trophy. After a very queer game Ton, Pentre, emerged the winners by no fewer than 3 goals to nil. With the exception of Gibbon, the full-back, there was not one of the homesters who played in any- thing like the form shown by the team throughout the season. If Aberdare v. Mr. Harry Packers' Team, Newport. Played at the Ynys Meadow before a good crowd, which however was not so large as the promoters anticipated, the poor performance of the home team in the last few matches influencing a large number to keep away. The game was confined chiefly to the forwards, the back play of the visitors not being up to the standard one would expect from the New- port reputation. The most prominent player of the 30 was Rhys Rees, who played the game of his life. The way he dodged and upset his opponents was most amusing. Of the Aberdare forwards, Dai Jones was very conspicuous, and was ably assisted in hi efforts by the remaining even, which consited of a few outsiders from Merthyr and Mountain Ash, in the place of Griff John, Wrentmore, and Redditch. Stoyle was as smart as ever, and played a fine game. Paddison, his co-centre, another Swanseaite, who has been assisting Llanelly recently, gave a good sound exhibition. England, on the left wing, made a very promising debut, and displayed good pace end dash, and he will undoubtedly prove a, decided ac- quisition. Flooks also played a keen game, but many opportunities did not ootiitj his way. Final Score: Aberdare 2 goals. Newport Nil. Aberdare chances in the league com- petition justify no hopes of retaining the Cup. It does not surprise many ardent ruggerites that the team has taken a step or two down, for enthusiasm amongst the players has been conspicuous by its absence, and the innovation which the committee have introduced, should have taken place earlier in the season. It was full time that stringent measures should be adopted, thereby clearing out some of the don't-care-o-hang players. While wending1 my way through the gate last Monday, as usual, I was as- tounded to feel the hands of a mighty custodian of the peace planted on my shoulders, checking my progress. It would be well for this P.C. to have greater regard for other beings and dis- play a little more common sense and less officiousness. It would be well also to place men at the gate who know their business, and can carry out their duties with a little more tact than was dis- played last Monday. Aberdare v. Abertillery. The Darians journeyed to the Mon. town last Satur- day, and in the conclusion that followed it proved to be a veritable slaughter of the innocents. Our comments are con- fined to the score, which reads as follows: Abertillery, 1 goal, 5 tries (20 points); Aberdare, nil.

Straight to the Mark in Aberdare. Repeated statements by Aberdare men. made to Aberdare men in our local press, cannot but go straight to the mark. If one man tells a tale, we may doubt it; but when numbers of men and women, neighbours, tell us the same tale, we must believe. The follow- ing is only one of many statements given in these columns. Mrs Jones, 14, Moss-row, Abernant, Aberdare, says :—" Thanks to Doan's backache kidney pills I am now well again, after suffering for several years from kidney trouble. I was subject to sharp, stab-like pains in my back, and these used to make me feel dull and languid. II came ever so giddy at times that I had to sit down to prevent myself from falling. There were puffy swelling under my eyes. "I had heard of the good Doan's backache kidney pills had done for others in Aberdare, so I determined to try the medicine myself. From the first the pills eased me, and going on with them they brought me back to health. I shall certainly recommend Doan's pills to those I know to be suffering as I used to." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and nine- pence). Of all chemists and stores, or "post free, direct from Foster.

Mountain Ash Education Committee. On Tuesday, Mr. J. Powell in the chair. Fhe other members present were: Mrs. J won Jones, Messrs. Hugh Price, R. Par- sons, E. T. Williams, J. P. Davies, W. Fen wick, J. Charles, E. V. Tidman, W. Grriffiths, Capt. F. N. Gray, David Rogers, W. Millar, Bruce Jone3, Dr. R. D. Mor- gan, Thomas Jones, and W. Davies, with Mr- Alfred Morgan (Director), and Mr. F. Stock (Accountant). PRIMARY EDUCATION. A com- munication from the Swansea Town Coun- cil desired the Mountain Ash Education Committee to pass a resolution in favour of charging the whole cost of primary education on the national exchequer. The Chairman remarked that a similar letter had been received some time ago from Carnarvonshire, advocating that a bigger share of the cost should be met by the Imperial Exchequer. He (the chair- man) was not in favour of such a resolu- tion, as was proposed by the Swansea Town Council, because if the whole cost was borne by the National Exchequer possibly the local Education Committees vould then have no control of education- al affairs.—No action was taken in the matter. SUMMER HOLIDAYS.—The Hon. Sec. of the Urban District Councils' Associ- ation wrote that the Colwyn Bay District Council and 56 other Councils had recom- mended starting the summer holidays sooner, so as to obviate overcrowding at the seaside resorts.—The Director re- marked] that the interval between the August and Christmas holidays was too long already, and he suggested, that the summer holidays be held as in former years.—The members acquiesced, and the letter was allowed to lie on the table. ANNUAL CO,NFERENCE.The Vice- Chairmam (Mr. Thomas Jones) and the Director, were appointed to represent the Education Committee at the annual con- ference of the Association of Education Committees in June next. SCRIPTURE EXAM. It was by a majority of four members decided to hold a Scripture Examination this year as usual.—The Religious Tract Society wrote that they were prepared to give 25 Bibles and 100 Testaments as presents to those who would succeed in passing the Scrip- ture Exam.—The matter was referred to the Education Committee. RESIGNATION.-Miss Rosa Thomas, head-mistress of Penrhiwceiber Girls' School, sent in her resignation, which was accepted. ARCHITECT'S ASSISTANT.—Out of a large number of applicants for the poet of architectural assistant, three had been selected to appear before the committee. They were Virgil R. Davies, 9, Tanybryn- street, Aberdare; D. Ll. Lewis, Bronallt- terrace, Abercwmboi; and Arthur H. Randell, Plymouth.—Mr. D. Rogers pro- posed, and Mr. E. T. Williams seconded-, that V. R. Davies be appointed.—Rev. E. V. Tidman, in proposing the appointment of Lewis, remarked that their officers ought to live within the district.—Mr. E. T. Williams and the Chairman observed that if their officers attended to their work during office hours that was all they required.—Mr. R. Parsons then proposed Randell.—Mr. W. Griffiths seconded.—In the division, Davies obtained 10 votes, Lewis 4, and Randell 2. Davies was therefore appointed. WELSH NATIONAL COUNCIL.—The minutes of the Welsh National Confer- ence held at Cardiff on the 23rd, were rea 1 by the Director. The Chairman was ap- pointed to attend the Drafting Committee to carry into effect the resolutions of the Conference. EDUCATIONAL HAND WORK.—The following item was on the agenda. -To consider the advisability of granting 'Scholarships' enabling teachers to attend a holiday course in eclucatioinal hand work at Barry, from Jr' )th to August 25th, 1908. TJic .vufcj et-Lrf iviil be Nttuara Study, Kindergarten, Brush Drawing, and Blackboard Drawing, Clay Model- ling, Wood Carving, Cardboard Work, Woodwork, and Sloyd."—It was decided to grant scholarships, and on the motion of Mrs. Jones it was decided to break up the schools for the summer holidays on the Thursday previous to July 30th, to enable intending pupils to attend the holi- day course at Barry. AN ANGRY SCENE. PENRHIWCEIBER MEMBERS AT VARIANCE. A person from Penrhiwceiber sent in an application to have his child exempted from attending school. The certificate showed that the man's earnings were only 3s. 6d. a day. Mr. Thomas Jones: This man works at the Penrhiweeiber Colliery, and to my knowledge he earns more than that. He has also a son earring £1 a week. He must have purposely concocted that cer- tificate to deceive this committee. Mr. Charles: Wto signed the certifi- cate ? Director: A Rees Davies. Mr. T. Jones: Tlere is an overman at the colliery whose lame is Rees Davies, but he has no authority for signing thesa certificates. I know that that man earns 4s. a day plus perceitages. Mr. W. Griffiths: fhen I move that the exemption be not gianted. Mr. E. T. Williams: We had better in- form the man that tie paper has not been properly filled. Mr. Thos. Jones: This is a deliberate attempt to deceive ;he committee-a de- liberate attmpt. If.this man had applied t the colliery officefor a wage certificate it would be 4s. per lay plus percentages. And it must not be forgotten that he has a son in the Co-ope-ative Stores earning < £ 1 a week. Mr. J. Charles seconded Mr. E. T. Wil- liams' motion that tie application be re- turned so that the fo.-ms might be proper- ly filled. Mr. Thomas Jones I believe we should go further than tha;. Mr. E. T. William;: It has never been understood at Penriwceiber where the men are to apply fQ: a wage certificate. They generally go t< a fireman or time- keeper. Mr. T. Jones: I kg your pardon. I fear you are a partyto this affair. Mr. Williams (wartily): No, I am not. I simply advised hia what to do. He brought a paper andleft it in my house, and I told him to go o a fireman or time- keeper. Don't throp your insinuations across the table. The motion that te application be re- ferred back to applcant having been passed, Mr. Williams renewed his protest against Mr. Jones' isinuations. Mr. Jones retorte(: They are not in- sinuations at all. Tfey are correct state- ments, and I repeat hat you are a party to the affair. Mr. Williams excitdly rose to his feet, and raising his voice xclaimed that there was nothing in whatMr- Jones had said so far as he was cAcerned. He (Mr. Williams) had alway acted in all capaci- ties with strict integity, and meant to do likewise in future wht..wer Mr. Jones or anyone else might 81' All he had done was to tell the manto apply to some of the colliery officials for a wages certifi- cate. Mr. T. Jones: Yoi have been a party to this, sir. Mr. Williams: I hve not. Chairman: Let usdrop this matter now. We will see vhat his wages are when the next certitate comes in. ANOTHER PASGE-AT-ARMS. A man named Gre&ry, from Penrhiw- ceiber, wrote applyiij for an exemption for his child. ■ Capt. F. N. Gray pointed out that two of this man's children had been sent to a Truant School by the Magistrates, and they would have to be maintained there at the expense of the ratepayers. Mr. J. Charles: What does the father pay ? Capt. Gray: One shilling or Is. 6d. a week possibly. Mr. J. Charles: I should say probably. Capt. Gray: You may say what you like. It was proposed and seconded that the exemption be granted. Capt. Gray moved, and Mr. Thomas Jones seconded an amendment that it be not granted. The original motion carried.

-u- Scraps. BY "THE SCRIBE." It appears that to a large number of the residents of Llantrisant and the neighbourhood, even as far as the Rhon- dda, the late Judge Williams was known as "Miskin." In his native valley of Aberdare, and all through the division of Miskin Higher, Miskin Manor was very rarely associated with his Honour's name. To many he was known as "The Judge," for they knew no other judge. Some of the associates of his youth, like "Will Dick o'r Patch," for instance, familiarly and affectionately called him "Gwilym," while to the old poets and litterati of Cwm 'Berdar he was known as "Mab Alaw Gech," and would often, es- pecially in Eisteddfodic circles, be hailed by the'pseudonym, "Ap Alaw Goch." His Honour hated anything in the nature of pedantry like he would poison. "Any more of your dog Latin?" he asked one witness who was rather fond of cit- ing, or pretending to cite, from a medical dictionary. "Speak your mother's tongue, man!" was his peremptory order to another verbose witness. Sir Marchant Williams was right when he said that His Honour had a good com- mand of colloquial Welsh, He was not by any means 3, Welsh litterateur or poet like his talented father, but he could tackle "Cymraeg ceryg calch," as hel called it, in a masterly manner. "Inquirer" in the last issue but one of the "Leader" wanted to know what the translation of "Duw gadwo'r bobl" is. Well, I cannot see why t4ere should be any "diversity of opinion" regarding this phrase. It is a supplication, not a state- ment. Every "Cymro cynhenid" would interpret "Duw gadwo'r bob1" "May God save the people," whereas "Duw gadwa'r bobl" should be translated "God will save the people." The suffixes "a" and "o" added to the verb "cadw" repre- sent different moods. Will "Inquirer" observe also that the Welsh word fcadw,' which is used to signify both "save' and 'keep,' should be translated 'save' in tbic. sentence. Also that the translator is not Dyfed but Keri. While reading both the original poem by Eibenezer Elliot and the translation by Keri one is in a doubt whether the context implies a supplica- tion or a declaration, but the translator's version of the lino in question is "May God save the people," and it is with his interpretation alone that we are dealing. Sir John Wolfe Ba.rry is opposed to anything, which may tend to make marriage unpopular. He believes in matrimony as "the fitting ending to a spinster's career." I would not be dis- posed to quarrel with Sir John's belief, were there enough men to go round, but as a matter of fact the females outnum- ber the males in this world. Perhaps Sir John believes in polygamy. Just now there is quite a number of converted actors and music hall artistes about. 'From the Theatre to the Cross" or "From the Stage to the Pulpit," has become a familiar phrase, almost an epi- gram. The experience of Miss Blanche Walfred, the lady who visited Aberdare a few weeks ago, was a little deviation from the ordinary run. Her transition has been from the convent to the Salva- tion Army via the stage. With Sir Marchant Williams' obduracy is a ruling passion strong in death—I mean in the death of another. It was with evident reluctance that he made any reference at the Aberdare Police Court on Tuesday week to the death of his great fellow-countryman and colleague in the administration of justice, the late Judge Williams. Apparently it was only the pressure of his colleagues on the Bench and the visible prospects of a strike on the part of the lawyers present that induced his Worship to eventually cave in. How- ever, the tribute which his Worship at last paid to his Honour was a magnificent one, and let us hope that it came from the heart via the head. Many of the visitors to the Aberdare Park last Sunday week were surprised to find no lake there. The bed of the erst- while pond was as dry as the bed of the Red. Sea after Moses had used his rod on its back. The poor swan appeared to be in a sad plight, and I expected to hear him every minute render his swan song and die. Every one who visited the Park last Sunday—at any rate, every possessor of a nasal organ-must have been con- vinced that the lake wanted cleaning. One morning recently a young ruffian threw a knife at a boy who was cycling in the Park at an early hour. And yet some people will say that no. park custod- ian is needed. When, Oh! when will the G.W.R. pro- vide better accommodation for the pas- sengers on the Cwmaman Motor Service? Primitive and crude as the stations on the T.V.R. are, it must be admitted that the Aberdare to Abercynon motor service on that railway is excellent. For the use ot working men who travel in their work- ing clothes an extra coach is attached to the motor, and there is no sardine pack- ing. Could not the G.W.R. afford to do likewise? When the Chinese com- missioners come to Aberdare, I would suggest that they be taken to the Black Lion Halt and consigned per the G.W.R. Motor to Cwmaman. What a grand study of Western railway methods that trip would afford! I fear that they would lose their temper and their pigtails in the scramble for dear life in that sardine box known as the motor coach. What say Lucifer to my suggestion ?

Very young lambs disappear from the iields in the neighbourhood of Cwmaman. Reynard gets the iblame for appropriat- ing this very tender mutton. Every night of late a continuous din has been kept up by means of tins and kettles in order to keep away the plunderer. Would it not be better to engage a hoarse hurdy- gurdy for a series of nocturnal perform- ances ?

Conciliation Board The Press Association is officially in- formed that the miners' section of the Coal Conciliation Board has decided, in consequence of discussion at the informal meeting of the board on Thursday, not to take any further steps in reference to an advance of wages until further inform- ation has been secured which will show that an advance is justifiable. This in- formation may either take the form of statistics, which are in course of compil- ation, or of continued improvement of trade. Only in the event of such inform- ation becoming available will another meeting of the board be asked for by the miners other than the usual quarterly meting which must be held under the constitution.
