Aberaman: Goal, Ben Munday; backs, T. G. Cumner and Billy Owen; halves, Jack Crumb, Holly Bowell. and George Key; forwards, Walter Clarke, Jack Evans, Bush, Charlie Silverthorn, and Douglas McHolland. « €■ In the first moiety Aberaman gained a penalty kick, from which Silverthorn opened the score. After further play Jack Griffiths, one of the Trecynon backs, sustained an injury to his ankle, and was assisted off the field. With only: ten men Trecynon made strenuous efforts to equalise, their wing men being very lively. However, Cumner and Owen were safe. Danny Jones played a safe game at back for the homesters. Jack Phillips in goal played admirably; also J. R. James, Dai Ed- wards, and the forwards. There was no score at the interval. A brilliant dis- play in goal was given by Jack Phillips, the home custodian. Trecynon again played well, but could not beat the powerful defence of the Athletic. Even- tually the homesters gained a penalty, from which Jack Thomas equalised. Final score: one goal each. It was with great sorrow that I heard of the untimely death of Jack Mitchell, the Trecynon Windsors' inside right, who was killed at Nantmelyn Colliery on Friday. Jack was 24 years of age, and a player of great skill and ability. Unassuming in manner, he was well be- loved by fellow-workers and players alike. He came over here from Swindon, and played some remarkably clever games for the Windsors a few' seasons ago. He was to have participated in his club's opening match on the day following his death. There are perils beside those of the battlefield. A large number of our leading foot- bailers are at present engaged on ac- tive service at the seat of war. Amongst those well-known locally are Tom Jen- kins, the Aberdare and Troedyrhiw goalie; Bob Xash, Cauldon. Hoddinott, Beirington (an old player),' and several others. It has been decided by the Football Association that the game shall be con- tined this season, and the Football League confidently appeal for support. g the War Office opinion is favourably inclined to the continuation of the sport. The League have submitted to the War Office an important scheme for assisting the work of recruiting. It is hoped that where special matches are arranged to encourage enlistment, the whole of the net gate receipts will be given to a war relief fund.—The Mount Rugby Club have, in accordance with the wishes of the Welsh Rugby X. Tiion. decided to cancel their seHon;s matches on account of the war.—How- tver; all the Junior Soccer Clubs will participate in their season's engage- ments as usual.
