(Continued from page 8). That much interest! is centred in Saturday's cup-tie (Coast Senior) at Colwyn Bay, when the Cormoiranits of Llandudno meet the Gulls of Colwyn Bay. What a flutter there will be. That it is to. be hoped the Executive of Col- wyn Bay will do all they can to minimise the discomfort of the ground should the weather be wet. Be prepared, gentlemen. That they should have planks placed along the mud-channel at the Penrhos end. If you don't, your exchequer will suffer. That many would prefer the Llannerch-road end. That the Press .should be considered in the way of seating accommodation in the "pavilion." Friend Foxley, what say you? That I hope there will be a recorrd gate and a good, rattling cup-tie, as of old. That Hallwood is keeping up his reputation as a good custodian. That O. E. is O. E. still—resourceful and safe. That J. Owen, re-appeared as a Gull, al- though be gulled Llandudno of his .services in the League. That it is snore than probable Jack Lunt will be in the Amateurs' ranks on Saturday. That Tommy Weliings was as pretty and clean in play as ever. I am sorry it is his last season. That Ned Griffiths, still retains his brusque and vigorous, play. That Rowlands (half) makes up a good trio. That the Llysfaen Hughes has promise of developing into a good forward. I was pleased with his display. There is something of the ostrich-like stride in his work. That forward Rowlands was a splendid trier. That Tommy 'McCar.n gave glimpses of his brightest days. Smart in movement and a rapper at shooting. That Stanley Hughes agreeably 'surprised me by the splendid progress he has made. Smart, and purposeful to. a degree. This fair-haired young man is an acquisition.. That J. LI. Owen, was not brilliant, for he was suffering from an injured toe. Neverthe- less, there were several of the Owenian move- ments. characteristic of the dash of .thus player, "ft is. to be hoped he will be in form, by SaJtur. day. That Birch in goal .for the Second Reserves of Rhyl was. very smant, and some of his eaves par excellence. That the Rabertses in the back line had a sultry time in the first half, but came out of the ordeal well. That Colliis and Cotton were busy bees, and the forwards, very fair. That the Denbigh "Dogs" are given a rest in the cup-tie progress. That Flint are a strong .side, but somewhat crude. That Bangor ComJbiniatiion again came. a- cropper on Saturday, this, time at Ürewe. How "she" bumped inito the neb seven times.! Lucky number, Bangor! Keep your pecker up, bgys! That Llandudno added another defeat to the splendid list Conway now possesses. That one really wonders, when, they are going to got a win. That friend Wallwork says they only did the usual on Saturday. That "Uncle" is getting fond of Saturday exr ercising on the Morf.a with his nephew pupils. That I hope the castigation meted out to the Canaries' Committee will go further than Car- narvon as regards effect. That whatever the, cost, football hooliganism must be put down. That unless it is da,ne this cancer-like pest witl eat away all that is good in the game. That every effort should be made to keep up the tone of (the game. That I should be very sorry to see anything happen ito the Carnarvon, United, for friend Sergeant Baston has worked hard for them, and is every inch a soldier an-d a gentleman. That "Robud Davey" will possibly aoipear in the Roosters' ranks on Saturday against Bangor at Gwydyr. That he is a great player by now, I am told. Isn't he, Arthur? That the Roosters have been experimenting with some local talent. That the Penmaeramajwr Wednesdays are a powerful set, and vanquished the Llandudno Corinthians, on their own ground last week. Bravo Fred James said they deserved if. That W. E. Hughes was a tower of strength to the visitors. That "Bangor Bob" as right half was in good .form. That Trainer Roberts, of Holyhead, has been busy with hits. embrocaltion. That the breezy air of Pensychnamt did him a deal of good. That Tom; hopes he will develop into a round back so-on under his guidance. That they hope to capture two points against the Celts next Wednesday. That those who visited Conway Marsh last Saturday witnessed a rare treat. That Conw.ay executive have decided on the -?'r battle ?a2?,,u'n,s?t ,,he, Caiiariels. same qu it?eftte-,to do l? Tha't Covel-],ey will ?be cusito,di,an. That they hope to b!rinz hoime -a p,oi,n?t, if not two. Glorious optimism Down by the sea! That I will give you more next week. Football Notes. (BY "VIGILANT.") If,ther.e,i,s one thing, dear readers, that I love to write in connection with the game of football more than another it is when I am able to re- cord ,the friendly spirit and love of the -game for the sake of the game that manifests itself from time to time amongst OUT clubs. I always feel strangely vexed when I hear unworthy remarks passed about want tof cour- age In visiting certain places on the Coast. I wish it were in my power to wave the magic wand of fairy-like joy o'er all our teams, and I wonder why should it not always be so? Healthy rivalry is admirable. Does not the grume bring out all that is courageous in a player, besides teaching him the value of self- reliance and pluck ? For instance, here is an unexpected tribute from Beaumaris to Llandudno which I give you .in, my esteemed friend, 'Secretary Me Elwee's own words: "All our players, supporitens, &c., are enthusiastic about the Llandudno team;. They all .say1 if was the pleasanfest game ever witnessed in this town. And I think you will agree with me that it was a thoroughly gentlemanly exhibi- tion. I .sincerely hope I shall meet you again very saan. Give us a 'look up on Boxing Day. Llandudno are our guests on that day. Au revoiry Now the Beaumar,is lads I was immensely pleased with, and I heartily join my friend in giving full expression to the truth of the pleas- antness of the visit. It was all too short. I shall certainly look forward to the joy of an- other visit. Now, on Saturday next, according ,o 'tihia, I' sft of fixtures, the proud Puffin,s are -due t at Flolyheadonia, where they meet last year's champions of the League in their first meeting of the League tournament. I believe it is with same trepidation that the Puffins look forward (to their visit; and as the two teams are the flower of Anglesea football, I hope the game will be one worthy of the occasion, and that both teams will rise to the high water mark of sportsmanship—both :sides--in giving the spec- tators a might good royal battle. Beaumaris, I am sure, will give a good game to ithe Stalwarts, and I hope the latter will find in the Puffins foemen worthy of their steel. Remember, you two Sir Fon representatives, that the whole North Wales Coiasit Football League clubs are looking at you, and may the best team win. I should be delighted to be there.

Photo by] [G. Rozvlands, Llandudno. Professor H. Short. The popular instructor of the 'Llandudno Gymnasium, whose photograph appears above, is a native of Bpurnemoufh, and from his youth, has' been a keen gymnast and athlete. He joined the Bournemouth Gymnasium in 1889, when it was at its zenith of fame, boast- iing 180 memfbers, and in 1890 he worked his way 'i -np i t.1) tihe cha,. lo,n eight. In i8gi be wa,s runner up for the gymnasium championship, In 1892 he succeeded in winning it, and retained it in 1893. In :this year he .also gained the South of England. Open Championship held at Southampton, his own gymnasium at the same time running into the semi-final for the National Shield. In 1891-2-3 he was honorary in- structor to St. Michael's Institute, Bourne- mouth, during which time they won out- right the Bournemouth and District Challenge Shield. The professor appeared before the National Society of Physical Recreation at Exeter Hall, London, in 1893, and was awarded an Instruc- tor's Diploma. In -I- 1804 Professor Short was appo,inte?d li structor to the Nantwich and Crewe Gymnasium where he did good work until 1897, when he ciame to Llandudno as Instructor of Physical Culture and Swimming, one of his first ap- being that of Instructor of the Llandudno Gymnasium. In the water the Professor is very much at home, his biggest swim being from Ryde, Isle of Wight, to Bournemouth. In 1891 he won the South Coast Salt Water Championship for a mile, which was held at Portsmouth, and in this year ho carried off premier prizes at the numerous South Coast Regattas, his ornamental swimming and diving being always worth see- ing. In the course of his career Professor Short has been the means of saving many lives from drowning. As recently as August 6tlh last, observing from the Llandudno Promenade a bather in difficulties, he rushed into the water fully dressed and .succeeded in bringing the drowning young man to shore. Again, some three weeks later, whilst playing golf on the West Shore, he noticed a fairly strong swimmer Jendeavounin.g to reach the shore against a strong current, which eventually proved too much for him, and he threw up his arms and sank. Fully dressed, the Professor was soon alongside the exhausted man, and after a big struggle effected a gallant rescue. Our readers will no doubt recollect the terrible tragedy enacted on the Great Orme some years back, when, a demented mother threw her two children and then herself over the cliff. Very few people know that the Professor, after ove,rcom ini-, I great difficulties, was instrumental in finding the body of one of the children, which had become lodged in a crevice. Mr. Short is a good specimen, of an all-round British sportsman, numbering amongst his re- creations1 cycling, football, hockey, and golf. Personally he is of a very modest and retiring dispositiani, and is greatly respected and ad- mired by his many pupils and friends along the Welsh coast.

Football Free-kicks. (BY "SEIGHT.") The Abergele County School 'team did them selves a good turn on Saturday by beating the Rhyl Epworth College eleven by 8 goals to 2. Of course, 'they were playing at home, which makes all the difference in the world. The Abergele boys are a mOislt erratic lot of players. One week they play like a team of Merediths, whilst the next finds them as" tame as Barimism & Bailey's performing elephants. But in any event they are better than the Conway League iteam. The Abergele boys do win sometimes, but Conway seem to have made up their minds to become possessors of the wooden spoon, porridge and all, at the end of ,the season. They are the Birminghams of the North Wales Coast League-lSit in the wrong end, like "Hill Climber" in the Manchester No- vember Handicap, on Saturday. The Rhyl Combination team is sailing in the samel boat as Coi-if,,vay and Brum, fairly in the fog, fagged and flabbergasted. Let us hope that they inhaled some of the smoke which enveloped Rhyl from the jgreat fire at the Queen's Palace on Sunday. For where there is smoke "there is fire, and it is the latter commodity that the Rhyl "Comby" team want badly. « What has come over the one-time brilliant Aston Villa brigade. They haven't won a match at home for a long while, in .Spite of their apparently limitless resources. They could only draw with poor old Bury on Saturday. What is the secret of their ineffectivenie.s) It is as easy to answer as it is to wink in the dark or to eat raw p,otat,oe:s on, an iceiberg. It I the Z4 a is week wage limit to players that is the cause of the Villa's troubles. The more I read of Manchester United's play week after week the more I admire them. They are simply great. They are the Beaumaris team of the First Lea-ue,! Don?t is *,e, "Nlo,chod p rnli Mon." Don't grin, ye Holyhead Cocks-of-the. walk. Wait till you meet the Blue Maoris, who. dwell in that lovely little spot between Llandegfan land Llangoed, where the llygod come from. < Everton and Liverpool down, the nick on the same day! And not a fluke about it, either, my hearties. Well, well, accidents will happen as Lord Dudley said the other day when her Lady- ship presented his Loirdisbips with twins. I like twins myself—in somebody else's family, of course.

Open Letter. TO THE BANGOR F. C. COMMITTEE. Sirs, Do. you believe in the old adage which says that there is honour amongst thieves? If the answer is in the affirmative, why didn't you live up to the principle when sending your team to play at Holyhead last Saturday week? Fair play is boinn.ie play, but contempt fotr your op- ponents, especially when they are tip-toppers, is worse than bad manners. It is neither chivalrous nor sportsmanship. I wasn't sorry ito see in Saturday night's papers that the same I lolyhoad chaps had given your team a good whacking. Serve you right, and many of 'em. Perhaps it will teach you a lesson not to plav re. giddy -,(?at in futu 'I-7,our Red Star eleven may be good enough for Hiraei or Gl'anadda ,?Cih c,ol,boys, but their son, will -always 1),e in ,the minor key when they 'm,ee,t a team of the cal.i,b,r,e of H,olyheiad or 13?eaum,ari,s. Clhuc,l?, your foojing and play the game. Most of you are ,growing whiskers, which is an indication that you are supposed to have passed the frivolity stage in life's journey. Eat thistles and grow fiat, as Baalaffi said to his favourite quadruped with long years. Kind regards to your big sis- ters. Write soon. (Continued, on page 12).
