Sport of the Week. -,+- HULL lopts., AHD-RIIONDDA 7. This was one of the best matches Keen this season at Tonypandy. From start to finish there was not a dull moment, and the home team are to be congratu- lated on their day's play. Hull were the xaore robust and heavier combination, and held a decided advantage in the first moiety, playing a. dashing game. Their backs passed excellently, and fairly non- plussed the Rhondda men. E. Rogers, who scored the opening try, is an excep- tionally fine wing, but the score was a doubtful one, as he is claimed to have infringed the touch-line before he crossed. There was no mistaking Hull's second score. G. Rogers, the outside half, receiving from Anderson, his partner, broke clean through the defence and rounded the posts. E. Rogers' converted both with splendid kicks for goal. Hull led by ten points at the interval, and soon after the re-start E. Rogers again scored a try, which he converted. A complete change now came over the game. Mid-Rhondda, who so far had shown indifferent form, were all over their opponents. J. N. Jones experienced the hardest of luck in failing to score. Matthews eventually crossed the line, but the referee disallowed the try, and then, after a penalty kick had lost its mark, Ned Rees put the ball over with a well-judged effort. Mid-Rhondda now put extra vigour into their play, and Geo. Matthews pierced the defence with a nice try, which Ned Rees converted. For the visitors E:. and G. Rogers were the most prominent in the backs, and Harridge, Baylen, and Holder in the front. E!. N. Rees and J. N. Jones were the shining lights of the. home quartette, while Matthews, F. Jones and Norris were prominent forward. LLWYNYPIA THURSDAYS 9pts., CAM- BRIAN BOYS 3. A fast and exciting game on the Mid- Rhondda Ground (kindly lent for the occasion) resulted in the defeat of the Cambrian Boys. Geo. Llewellyn and Harry Piper scpred brilliant tries for the Thursdays. YNYSHIR ALBIONS ogls.,i YNYSHIR JUNIORS 1. The Juniors start.ed before a good crowd, and soon tested Lewis, who cleared splendidly. The Albions now warmed to I their work and forced a corner, from which W. Bloomfield scored a smart goal. The Juniors, after this, played splendid football, but the Albions scored another goal before the interval, G. Bloomfield beating Davies with a nice shot. After lemons, the Juniors pressed for -it while, and Roberts, receiving a nice pasg from Lloyd, scored with a great shot. After this reverse the Albions had most of the play, and scored through W. Bloomfield (2) and B. Davies. For the Juniors, Jarman and Morgan pilivtd well. Weeks, Jones, James, and Davies were the pick of the Albicns.

Shots for Goal. Preparations are now in full swing for the Ynyshir Albions v. Porth Reserves n atch. The Ynyshir Brass Band will play selections on the ground, whilst the Rhondda Minstrels with their bagpipes will also play the march, The Albions play to win to-day (Pugli). The Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys adminis- tered a sound defeat to Tynewydd on -j Urday, the score being 18 points to aL' p 2 t,ies-, scorem were T. ««* Raymond, Down, T. Tatteher a1Kl T. Griffiths. Each^v was full v deserved am) +i, ,n t! > Clas.s display of these youngsters, which c^rp° exceptionally fine tries were those o. 1. Rees and T. Griffiths. The former (who has only one arm, having lost hi* right arm in a colliery accident) was play- ing on the left wing, and going at ton speed he scooped the ball up from the floor with Ins one arm in an extraordinary manner, and scored a brilliant try. f Griffiths scored his through a, fine "burst and break through—lie was over the line in no time. The Porth P.T.'s played Treherbert in a Sower match on Saturday, and won ■easily by 4 goals to 1. The Ex-Schoolboys yould show themselves better sportsmen if they could cultivate a little patience and not exhibit selfishness when waiting for other teams to finish, a match on "their" ground. They would also do better to train for their matches in an ••variable gymnasium, and not a public- houjae. We are now informed definitely that the new players who were expected to turn out for Treherbert are not going to .lain the cluh. Their capture by Treher- bert was to be a Welsh Union bombshell.

Burglaries at Tonypandy. Nocturnal Visits to Lock-up IShopa. During the last few weeks, several lock- up shops in De Winton Street, Tony- pandy, have been visited by burglars. It appears that admittance is gained by skeleton keys, as the locks have not been tampered with in any way. The first of the series seems to have taken place at Mr. Morgan Griffiths' hair dressing saloon on Tuesday night, February 2nd. The saloon was also visited on the 4th and 15th inst. Mr. Griffith's, states that his loss amounts to about £ 4. On Thursday, the 4th inst., the premises of Mr. W. 1). Jones, Music Stores, under the Rhondda Leader Offices, received attention. In this instance the thief or thieves were successful in obtaining £ 1 10s. which had been left in the till overnight. In this case the robbery took plaice about mid- night. On Wednesday night, the 17th inst Messrs. James Nelson and Sons, butchers, were paid a visit. The manager, coming to business on Thursday morning, found the door unlocked and the till open, but luckily, no money having been left on the premises, the burglars were dis- appointed by their visit. The bazaar of Mr. Charlie Jones did not escape notice, in this instance two shillingsworth of coppers being taken. The last case of burglary in the locality occurred on Monday night, on this occasion a private house coming in for its share of atten- tion. It appears that in this case a pick-axe was used. The liouse-Il, Camp- bell Terrace-i.9 the residence of Mr. John Jones, fireman at the Glamorgan Collieries. When Mrs. Jones returned home about 10.30 p.m., she observed that the door had been tampered with. Upon investigation, the beeding of the door was found to have been loosened and marks of a pick-axe were found upon the door, the axe afterwards being found with splinters, off the door upon it. The public are warned to keep a sharp look-out on their premises.

WOMEN'S HEADACHE. TERRIBLE SUFFERING RELIEVED. COULD NOT SLEEP—LIFE UNBEARABLE. A WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE. I was a great sufferer from Nervous Headache and Insomnia, says Mrs. AgneS Woods, of 20, Earl Street, off Church Street, Pendleton, and could get no relief. I consulted doctors, who gave me bottles of medicine which j j] did me no good j j whatever. The || JljjyP j 1^ get^ found them exactly what I wanted. The pains in my head disappeared and I obtained refreshing and healthy rest. I am now in perfect health and can confidently affirm that it is simply through taking Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills that this end has been attained. I recommend them to all my friends, who have received the same benefit as I have, and I would under no circumstances be without them. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause by cleansing the stomach, purifying the blood and aiding the digestion and assimilation of food, and are a positive and permanent cure for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments. Sold by Chemists and Stores, price 1/1 t per bottle, or The W. H. Comstock Co., Ltd., 21, Farringdon Avenue, London, E.C.

Reviews. [" Maeth i Blant y Tonnau." Gail y Parch. J. S. Jones, Hwlffordd. 64 tud. Pris 6ch. Hughes a'i Fab, Gwrecsam.] [Hau a Medi." Gan Edward Thomas, Llanrhaiadr. 54 tud. Hughes a'i Fab, Gwrecsam.] These are two companion volumes designed with a purpose of being a mcr;.l guide to the young, and instilling in then: a love of reading. The former was written more specially a love of reading. The former was written more specially for the converts of the late Revival, and I was intended to give a helping hand to f those who had sought the truth. I It is written in an easy, clear style, and J formulates the truth in a clear manner. Now and then it is eloquent, and the writer speaks with an earnestness of pur- pose that is bound to have its good effect. The arrangement is well carried out, ven if it is simple. It behoves men to commence the battle of truth, life and religion in a .strong manner, to hold right onward, to steer clear of the rocks of heedlessness, intemperance, the love of riches, untruthfulness and lying, and pride and self-satisfaction. It is well written, and should prove a most useful book to the young. The latter of the two is a, book of some thirty-seven very interesting tales of a semi-religious character. They concern mainly such characters as John Knox, Christmas Evans, Hugh Owen, Wesley, Awstin, Williams Pantycelyn, Peter Wil- liams, Arc. Of a wide range, there is as much variation as could be expected. Apart from a few ungrammatical forms, they make very interesting reading. The two books are very useful and healthy to put in the hands of young people; also quite suitable for reading classes. [" Llyfr Cyfrif yr Athraw." Gan D. E. Griffiths, Penygraig. Pris oeiniog. Evans & Short, Tonypandy.] The compiler of this little book is Mr. Griffiths, one of the most forward workers the Sunday School has in Mid-Rhondda. He has acted as secretary to the Mid- Rhondda Bi-Monthly C.M. Sunday School Union for over nine years, so that his experience enables him to compile an ex- cellent register. It provides for a twelve- month, with columns for entering the work of each Sunday. Its already useful plan would be greatly enhanced if the columns were made larger. It should find a ready adoption in our Sunday Schools.

Welsh Monthlies. Messrs. Hughes & Son have given U8 a rich store again for February. Cymru'r Plant" is as interesting as ever, with its charming accounts of the month, old-time customs, wild flowers, romances, ta,les, choice pieces of poetry, and places. It is the best children's monthly in the lan- guage. It has not lost any of its fresh- ness since Miss Winnie Parry has become it.s editor. It contains a. neat article on Stephens, Tanymarian. The Oerddor still continues on its useful message to the musical world. It contains a chorus from Handel's Samson" —" Cydunwn a'r nefolaidd dyrfa lan." Mr. David Jenkins, Aberystwyth con- tinues an article on leuan Gwyllt." Still another popular monthly is "Yr Ym- welydd Misol "a most excellent num- ber. There is an attractive article from the pen of L. D. Jones on Bangor Univer- sity College, with a photo of Principal Sir Henry Reichel, and also of the new college. A very interesting number throughout 1 Y Llusern" (Swyddfa "Cymru ") contains some weighty remarks on some of the evil tendencies of the day. The Nodjiulfau Qyffited'inol" are In them- selves a magazine. ¡ Y CYMRU." The" Cymru" is valuable, and an as-set now in our monthly literature, that it must have a note for itself. The notes of the editor are always welcome, and in the February number he tells us how the rural life of Wales may be improved. He notes, by the way, three fallacies which belong to the Welshman firstly, a pre- conceived idea that the neighbourhood belongs to some wr byneddig • secondly, that he cannot enjoy a.n insti- tution or .some means of culture unless it be his personal property and thirdly that it is necessary for every young Welsh aspirant to leave his native heath CCOto earn his living and win his spurs. "What," he asks further, "can be done to brighten, sweeten and improve the life of the locality? Every village throughout Wales should have its library I i-i ry, its convenient public hall, and its column. The column (i .emonument) should keep a high ideal before every age its object should be not so much to honour the dead, but to give inspiration to the living. The library should contain books that will best help the villagers in their work, and give them most pleasure in their leisure hours. The public hall should contain an assembly room—to spend a passing hour—baths, refreshment iooms~-m sooth, a well-keot sheltered nook for all within the parish—a kind of village club. A hundred years hence, no village can exist without its library and hall, and it will not be con- tent without its memorial column." One is glad to note that the Rhondda is not altogether behind in these things. Its columns, though, are onlv two and is it not ripe that the memory of Ben Bowen should be honoured with a column ? Let the Monument Committee take the matter in hand and follow the examnle of other parts of the country. Ben Is worthy of this tribute. Other interest.ing articles are Dant-v- Glvn Nedd," "Rolant EmwiIt y Porthmon," and Morris Owen." lit Books to be reviewed, and accounts of Welsh movements and societies should be addressed :—" Welsh Correspondent, e,o Rhondda Leaedr,' Tonypandv."
