Football. (Continued from page 10). biigh people a chance of seeing ia specimen of ■the footwork of [this magnifijoeinit player. How- over, ithe Denibighiltes could not afford to ad- mire it too much just at this paint, for W. O.'s gramd work might mean *the Thrushes' down- fall on their own ground, and of course this was not to he in the r,eckc),ning--ait lieiasit from the Denbigh point of view. The Thrushes gott away by big mowtments oif a swinging- njaiture, and "Sooner," with a daisy cutter, just went wide of 'the mark. Hearty applause greeted the at- tempt. This was the necessary stimulus to the home sids, land they resipomdieid gamely, and pressed awhile, and which was relieved by j Edwards, who was playing a sound game. From his relieving the pressure, play wias prtet. tily taken u,p by the left of the Puffinis, and T. A. hlad to concede a corner. This availed nothing to the Puffinis, and off weinit^ the Thrushes in flying style for O. R., R. M. Evians elecitrifyimg the speicitiatorsi with 60m superb runs on the riiight, and a grand culminating cenitre. The ball WlruS netted, but the point was disallowed for impeding O. R. The Thruaheis gained a corner, and, feoin a flash across the goalmouth Randies was up and tipped it into ,the net. Thenl oame a roar of cheers that they tell me was heard in St. Asaph, but as I am a bit of a fibber myself, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of this igtaJtemerat. The appliause may be correctly deisicribed as (slteimtorian and had such a isplendid effect on the ground. One man looked at me, thinking I wa,s a Puffin, said, "Where's your Bluemaras nlOw?" A word was as good iais a wiink to this man, who had evidently g)ot the football X Rays—for his countenance illumined grealtly. < < < From the mid-field kick a buzzing excitement prevailed, and now we saw the B'eaum.ariisians move in a .srweet manner, soime remarkably fine -footwork being seen, especially with the th-ie" inside men..Morgan Jones was like a dreiam of fascination with the ball, m11d he was aided splendidly by the brotiheins Dick and W. O. Humphreys. Capital play ensued, with Beau- maris not quite finishing up their hitherto solendid work with more "devil" an front of Griffiths. Several caseis of hard limes were seen on both sideis, and half-time, arrived with the score: Denbigh, i Beaumaris, o. The second half .started in a sensational man. ner, for from the very kick off the Puffins had planted the ball in the net and drawn level wilfch the Thrushes. My word! Whait's the silence? A score, no cheers! Oif course, the wtfon^ ,side have done the trick. Naughty Puffinis! And how strangely quack you did ait, too I scanned the faces of those around me, and they looked wry—very wry, my dear readers. Here was a climax, where everything had to be begun over <a|giaiin, and could it be that the Puffins migjiit win? Well, bang off went the ball from the centre, and a ninght to- wards O. R. J. Up it came again, returned backwards. It was flashed fmm willig to wing, and ultimately into the net, like a twinkling. Then wry fiaceis became joyour, loud voices, rent the air and even a half-dozen men joined hands,'and: volleyed round a la kiss-ini-!the-nn!g. What a facial transformation What a study. A bit oif leather—nothing like it, boys, dud all this. I should say that flabby ball No. i in the first half gave way to No. 2 new, and play ,correspondingly was bettered. Beaumaris worked gamely in face of this re- verse and were, getltinjg up the field with really glüod work, and became dangerous, but exiper 1. g.oo very hard limes. Down, again, the Thrushes got, and by jove the ball is in the net a^am What, a third time? Listen, to- the sanies sang1 about, of the Thrushes. It miigh1 have ibeen M.ay on the Graig Field. Faces beaming and eyes so gleaming with, delight. Joy was at its full. The Thrush with its nieck craned in song—the Puffin. There they go a^ain The Sir Fon men are doilng rgaod work, which is delightful to behold. They press. W. 0. gets throuigh. Sharp Thrush peeks the ball from hi,s toe, and it became evidenit as time wore on that the Puffin would have to retire minus two points on the second occasion in their League tourney. And so ended one of the very best igiaimeia under the most pleasant conditions I have seen for a long while. Final: Denbigh, 3; Beaumaris, 1. BANGOR RESERVES v. LLANRWST. THE ROOSTERS SEVERELY PLUCKED. (BY "RAMBLER.") Playted at Bianigor. Owing to the recent ram, the ground was in a very slippery condition. The visitors were delayed on the railway about fifteen minutes through an accident at Cannah s Ouav and though they drove from ithe station in cabs, having changed their garments nn the tmin, they were late taking the field. -Ir I was Isurprilsed to see such a good crowd on field The fact of Bangor having f.aited to brin°r two points from Gwydyr Park, a week or ? 0„rpv.i'nus might be the reason, but Hwifa and Co were determined to turn the tables 0:1 occasion, and such was-the case, for they won the match with a good margin. Referee 'Beech officiated, the followlilllg being ithBaPngaorrST^ Owen, goal; Lloyd and H. Wil- liamis, backs; T. A. Griffith, A. Stanly and W Tones, halves; Joe Thomas, H. J. Dadoes, R. Jones, Huighie Davies, and Hughie Owen, Gfflrt, goal; W. Owjn and W. T. Tones backs; Gran Jones, Chishollm^ and Frana« Williams, halves Norman Jones, Etas 1)2 Thomas, Arthur Richards, and Ned Griffiths, forwards. The spin of the coin went in favour of^ Llan- rwst A ,moat sensational start wass made, for harelv had the ball been set in motion by the horn- Pivot than Norman Jones captured and JhTvisiting forwards went towards Ted Owen ?n body Norman Jones sent in a capital shot which Hwfa met, but the ball, unfortunately for him elided from- bus foot into the net.
