The Aberdare Leader

Football. BY SPECTATOR." ASSOCIATION. On Thursday last the locals journeyed tc Treharris in search of League points. Alt Pickering, Arthur Jackson, and Ivor Davies failed to make the journey. Mr. Pcllock, of Pontypridd, officiated. The visitors were the first to attack, but Fred Evans relieved with a huge jpunt. Rees James sent out nicely to Evan Williams, but the Treharis left back kept well down field, and thus put the Dare outside righi. offside. Young Williams gained posses- sion of the leather, and from a beautiful centre Eees James opened the scoring. Crowley, Billy Thomas, and Pugh did not have much trouble in clearing their I lines. Percy Gardener broke through on his own, but dribbled 1 little too far, and the custodian, going fiercely for the ball, missed it altogether. Gardener was bad- ly iui ured in the knee as a result. Re- suming with ten men, Harry Williams tricked the opposing half, who nearly caused another disaster by dangerous tackling. The Darians dribbled to with- in a yard of the goal line, and sent in a perfect centre, which Rees James again met. and Aberdare were two up. Half- time score: Aberdare. 2 goals; Treharris, nil. 000 The second half was very one-sided, but owing to the hcmesters adopting the one back game only one goal was added. Ten minutes before time the ball was landed in the river, and all efforts to recover it proved futile. The extra ball was not fit to use. and the referee stopped the game I with the remark that the match would have to be re-played- This was hard lines on the Darians. The League COlll- mittee will make matters very awkward for the future if they order a replay. Visiting teams to Roderick's field must not be a goal or two in front towards the end of a game or they will be larded in a similar predicament.. 000 Welsh Cup—Preliminary Round. On Saturday Llanbradaeh again turned up at the Athletic Grounds to contest the C right to enter the next round.

Morgan. Pontlottyn. 0 0 0 Holly Bowell opened the scoring, and before the visitors could recover from the shock, Tom D. Jones had increased the lead. The homesters indulged in a lot of gallery play, which was pretty to wit- ness, but this sort of game does not pro- duce goals. Sam Parker added No. 3, and for an infringement in the area, Llan- bradaeh were penalized, but Farringdon failed with the kick. The visitors got away through Griff Williams, but he was 'badly supported. Half-time score: Aber- dare, 3 goals; Llanbradaeh, nil. In the second half Tudor, the old Treharris for- ward, dribbled close to the Dare goal, where an infringement of the rules caused the Barians to be penalized. Griff Williams made no error with the kick. Tom D. Jones placed his side further ahead with agoôd shot. Aberdare won by 4 goals to 1. BY "MUDDIED OAF." ASSOCIATION.

Final score: Trecynon Windsors, 2 goals; Abernant Windsors, 1 goal. 000 For Abernant, Ben Lloyd, D. Jenkins, and Ben Morgan were well to the front. Tom Evans appeared t44 be completely off colour, but Arthur Davies was conspicu- ous in the centre. The best players in the forward line were Aaron Stiley and D E. Morgan. For the Windsors, Frank Rich and T. J. Evans were not found lacking. 000 Aberdare Church A.F.C. v. Aberdare Cornty School Old Boys. Played at the new grounds near the Cwmbach Road on Saturday.

After the change of ends, the Terriers displayed better combination, which ended in Jack Owen, the inside right, finding the net. Final score: 1 goal each. 000 For the Wanderers, George Key, Vater, and Hillier were prominent. At half, Dai Davies and Ted Hillier were in their v usual form, whilst Mike Macarthy and his partner were safe as houses. For the Terriers, Ted Harris played a resource- ful game, but Frank Humphreys seems in better form at half-back than at full- back. Griff Rosser and Jack Holloway were very good. The best of the forwards were Jack"Thomas at right wing, Walter Jenkjns at centre-forward, and Reggie Bravshaw on the left wing. 0 Aberdare Rovers v.

He will now have a permanent place in the team. W. Morgan, at centre-half, worked like a Trojan. He has consist- ently refused offers to join other teams. The Windsors have not yet lost a match in the Glam. League. ABERDARE SCHOOLBOYS' LEAGUE. Matches for October 23rd. 10 a.m.-Town Council v. Higher Grade; referee, Mr. W. B.

At the Athletic Grounds, Aberdare, on Saturday, a trial match was played be- tween two selected teams from the Na- tional Division. The players were: — Team A: Goal, W. Thomas, Town Coun- cil; backs, J. Jenkins and W. Williams, Higher Grade; halves, F. Stanton, D. Harvey, Higher Grade, and E.

In the second half Tosh Phillips crossed the line, but the try was disallowed. The Cvnonites continued to press, when Jones, the home custodian, saved by finding touch near half-way. A pointless draw was the final result. o o o Owing to the awful condition of the field the game was more of a polo match. No player could be singled out for special mention. The homesters were playing fourteen men. D. R. Morgan made one brilliant run, and was only forced into touch near the home line. The referee was exceptionally weak, and should cer- tainly give a little more attention to the game. SOCCER. The Abercynon Thursday Team jour- neyed to Merthyr on Thursday last, and sustained a defeat by 8 goals to nil at the hands of the Merthyr Thursdays. The team lacked combination. Several changes are being made, and ere next Thursday arrives the Cynon Thursday Team will prove a hard nut to crack.

Llwydcoed Cottage Gardeners. GENEROSITY OF MR. WINDSOR LEWIS. A well-attended meeting was held at the Llwydcoed Council School on Wed- nesday evening, the occasion being the distribution of prizes given by Mr. Windsor Lewis for the best kept cottage gardens. Mr. Lewis at the beginning of last Spring gave each of his tenants a quantity of seeds, and intimated that he would give prizes for the best kept gardens. The chairman was Mr. David Daniels, Llwydcoed House, who remarked that he had come there that evening to ascertain who were the best gardeners in Llwyd- coed. Mr. Windsor Lewis had, by this step, been the means of bringing people to take more interest in their gardens, and it would be well it they had a society who could give prizes to all good garden- ers. (Applause.) Mr. Lewis this time was only giving prizes to his own tenants. He was indeed one of the best landlords in the country. (Applause.) Mr. Comley, agent to Mr. Lewis, read a letter which had been received from the latter, intimating that he was giving a piece of land below the Schools for pur- poses of recreation, and as a playground for the juveniles, instead of using the streets for that purpose. Mr. Lewis ex- plained the conditions under which he was giving the ground, one of them being that no pleasure fairs, etc., be held on it. It was also pointed out that in all pro- bability the ground would be handed over to the District Council. Mr. Comley urged upon all who would patronize the grounds to see that every- thing was kept in proper order there, and that the plants and shrubs'should in no way be tampered with. Major W. D. Phillips said that there were very few landlords who took such a keen interest in the welfare of their ten- ants as Mr. Lewis did. He had a very strong regard for Llwydcoed. He would move a vote of thanks to Mr. Lewis for his generosity. Mr. William Evans seconded the vote, which was carried with acclamation. The prizes were distributed by Mrs. Hodges, Nant Coch. Mr. Comley, in a brief address, said that he regretted to find that the state of some gardens was not what it should be. He appealed to all gardeners to make an early start next year. Now under the 8 Hours regime they ought to have plenty of time. He hoped to give them during the forthcom- ing winter a few lectures on the subject of gardening. (Applause.) Appended is a list of the prize-winners: Vegetable Girdens: -Class 1: 1st, S. Baker, Corner House-street; 2nd, David Morgan, Hill Top; (3) Wm. Miles, Foun- ders -row. Class 2: 1st, J. Davies; 2nd, J. r. Davies; 3rd, Mrs. Jane Morris; 4th, Evan Jenkins; h.c., W. J. Rowlands, all of Corner House-street.

Mr. Meredith Jones remarked that Mr. Lewis's beneficence was verv much like present day educati011-« Thëy had it all for nothing." (Cheers.) Messrs. E. Moses, Roger Rogers, and William Evans also spoke, and referred to Mr. Lewis's many noble actions. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mrs. Hodges, Mr. Comley, and the chairman. The meeting terminated with a solo bv Mr. W. J-. Rowlands. Mr. Daniel Jones, Post Office, had rendered Mr. Comlev valuable assistallce in making the ar- rangements.

Rights of Women. MRS. DESPAED AT ABEEDABE. On Thursday, under the auspices of the local branch of the I.L.P., a very well- attended meeting was held at the Memor- ial Kali, Aberdare. The chair was occu- pied by Mr. Matt Lewis. There were also on the platform Mrs. Edward Davies and Mrs. Matt Lewis, of the Women's Branch of the I.L.P. The meeting was addressed by Mrs. Despard, the renowned I Suffragist, who took as her subject, a Society's Needs." Mrs. Despard held that the workers of the country .were en- slaved. It was said that the English- man's home was his castle. Well, it was a castle from which he was very easily ejected. Again in the matter of taxation men—and also women—were enslaved. Further, in an industrial sense workers were no better than slaves. Men were engaged in hazardous and unhealthy oc- cupations. They could not leave their employment because they could not ob- tain another. Consequently they were industrial slaves, although they might have a voice in the political world. The open road to freedom could only be ob- tained when the supremacy of one class over another would cease. Every man and woman should have the right to live, the right to enjoy the fruit of their own labours. The speaker held that our laws were made and administered far more for the protection of the privileged classes than the working classes. Com- ing' to the emancipation of woman, Mrs. Despard held that the time had come when women should be placed on par with men. Men and women must stand together before they could get a true democracy. Society needed freedom, jus- tice, social equity, and sex equality. Society required the abolition of poverty because no man or woman who was real- ly poor was really free. Touching upon education, Mrs. Despard held that the education taught in our schools was not the best to fit the scholars for the reali- ties of life. Referring to the Budget, it was called a Socialistic Budget," but it was not so Socialistic as she wished it to be. Socialists were regarded as people who wanted to turn the world upside down. Well, she was not sure but that the world required a turn of the kind. A great feature of the present day was that the giant of Labour was beginning to stir in his long sleep. Another feature was that woman was beginning to see that she was a force in the community. They should realise, however, that opportunity brought with it responsibility. (Applause.) Mr. W. W. Price moved that a protest be made at the meeting against the action of the Spanish Government in executing Ferrer. Mr J. L. Williams seconded the motion, which was unanimously carried. Questions being invited, Mr. Emlyn. Williams asked whether it was true that Mrs Despard had supported the landlords and the brewers at Peckham. This Mrs. Despard indignantly denied. She did not go against the Liberals, but against the Government because they de- clined to recognise the rights of women. Mrs. J. A. Williams asked whether Mrs. Despard and her sisters would at- tack a Conservative Government in the same way as they attacked the Liberal Government at present if the Conserva- tives adopted a similar attitude towards woman suffrage? Mrs. Despard: Precisely the same.
