Tylor&towo. failed to turn up to play lreherbeFu Athletics in a League match at Treherbert on Saturday, so" the Tre- herbert Ex -Schoolboys (a Second Division team) turned out to give the Athletics irst Division) a game. The Ex-School- hays were without three or four of their leguLar1 players, whilst their opponents }vere minus A. Lewis (centre) and Adams forward. The "Ex" started well, and soon became d&frgerous, but the defence pre- vailed over the attack. When the Athletics eventually got into position near their opponents' line, several tight ScruITlSi were formed. After receiving the tell from one of them, J. Griffiths (out- *ide kalf ot Athletics) broke away on the blind side and gave up to J. Lewis (right Wing), who crossed in the corner with a ^ood try.. R. Pitman failed to convert.

The latter transferred the ball to Pitman (right centre), who broke through and gave up to his wing (J. Lewis), and the Athletics' flier dashed over with an- other good, try near the corner. Collins railed with the kick. No score was registered in the second tu .us, play became unusually rough. Fisticuffs were indulged in ail over the field, but more especially by the becond.

ASSOCIATION. TON Ggls., BATH CITY 1. T> A4ea^ weather favoured the visit of tlath. City to the Ynys on Saturday in •e. 11e%r,n.Western League fixture, The were not at full strength. Ton So fielded a team whicli included several At Bath the game resulted in draw. From a spectacular point of 'lew the g^sne proved tame and un- interesting. The game from start to i-ic Wa^ 0110 mistakes and of in- P ?u6n^ play-. r-ie homesters did most the aggressive work, and poor shoot- Ing alone prevented many goals being scored. Fyfe in the first half was pro- minent on the right wing, and from a beautiful centre of his, Tommy Davies sent in a. lovely shot which elicited applause. The same player was a thorn in the side of the visitors, his diddling tricks putting them constantly off their I game. Tommy was in good form, and shortly afterwards scored two more goals in. very neat- fashion. Hendy, for" the visitors, performed very prettily when lie took the leather from over the half- ^'ay line, along the touch line, and after ^atiixg several men, netted the ball. A.ftej' the interval, the City men bucked P. -considerably, and. the Reds did not JUite have matters so much their own pay-. Shortly before the call of time, '•radshaw and Parry placed their side still further ahead bv scoring one goal < each. CWMP ARO & TREORCHY rNrrED 3 gls., BARRY DOCK ALBIONS 1. The United played this South Wales League match at Barry last Saturday, and had very little trouble to annex the Points and thus still further strengthen their potsition as League champions. Play- j ng against wind and gradient in the first half, their defence proved very solid, but aftor twenty minutes' play the Albions scored a. rather lucky goal, the ball slip- Ping from Harry Jones' grasp after par- tially saving. Afterwards, the Park for- wards hotly attacked the Barry goal, but Westall (of the District XI.) defended well. After Thoman and Jack Evans had successively missed by inches, Jack Hughes scored from a terrific shot from long range, which White never saw. After the interval, Civmparc set up a series of attacks, but the slope made scoring' a difficult matter. Peake, how- ever, netted twice, and the visitors, taking matters easy, finally triumphed by 3-1. MARDY 3gls., PEMBROKE 1. This South .Wales League fixture was played at Mardy before a moderate gate. the former match between the clubs, ^embroke defeated Mardy by o goals to but last Saturday Pembroke were with- out the servicas of three of their best players, while the Mardy team was also ^arranged, Soxer Jones^pTaying left back and J. Hill playing right half, vice 130h Nash, who was injured at Treharris. Mardy kicked off with the sun in their -j^vces, and Parrott, the Pembroke centre forward, broke'*away, but ''Curly" Gri- ^tlis relieved, and set his side attacking, Alden forcing a fruitless corner. McDonald a little slow with a shot, but he soon returned, and tricking Lewis, put the visitors' goal in danger by passing nicely to Davidson, who headed the hall just over the bar. Alden again forced a corner off Berry, but Hill's fine. "heder" was a little too high. The. homesters were 1 1 asserting their .superiority, when a, foul robbed them of a certain goal. Latham was next in evidence with a. fine run and shot, which severely tested the visiting custodian, and in a minute or so Davidson opened the score for Mardy. A little later, a, penalty was given against Pem- broke for hands," which Latham con- verted with a splendid shot. Latham again was prominent and played well, keeping his side continually on the mpve, while Levi tested Underwood with a great shot, which, the latter was lucky in stopping. Parrott broke, away in fine style, but Hugh Jones stopped his career and changed the venue with a fine kick. After the interval, Mardy at once took up the aggressive and were soon attack- ing, forcing an abortive corner. They maintained the pressure in a haphazard fashion, and although several shots were tried at the visitors' goal, they were lack- ing in sting and were safely negotiated by Underwood, who was well covered by Berry and Lewis. Pembroke rarely visited the home territory, and were never dangerous. During one of these spasmodic bursts, Parrott scored Pern broke's only goal with a shot that Wil- liams could have stopped easily had lie not been unsighted by Hugh Jones. This unexipected reverse set the Mardy men going at a great pace for a short time, -i and although several hot shots were sent in, no score resulted until a well-judged kick by Hill enabled Davidson to rush through with Mardy's third goal. Mardy were still pressing when the final whistle blew. The visitors # are in the unfortunate position of being unable to take their strongest team away, several of their players not being in a position to spare the time the long journey to the Hills necessitates]. For Pembroke, the only players worthy of note were Parrott, the centre, forward, who played a. sparkling game, and the full-backs, Berry and Lewis, who prevented the score being very much heavier against their team. TREHERBERT UNITED ogle., PORTH COUN-LI SCHOOL 0. The return match between these teams was played at Forth on Saturday. The previous game at Treherbert resulted in a victory for Treherbert by 3 goals to 2. Rees won the toss for Porth and decided to play down the gradient. The visitors were handicapped in the first half, having the sun, islope and wind against them. G. Wat-kins, Treherbert's centre for- ward, set the ball in motion, and brisk play by Treherbert's forwards enabled them to attack. After ten minutes' play, the visiting left wing received a nice pass, and after beating several onoonents, he scored with a splendid shot. The School now rallied and made a serious attack upon their opponents' goal. The, final effort, however, was cleared. Return- ing again to the attack, Treherbert scored a second goal through Watkins, after fine play by the left wing. Soon afterwards, Porth forced two successive corners, with no material result. Tre- herbert, however, were not to be denied, and Thomas (left wing) placed them fur- ther ahead with a shot which gave Rees no chance. Treherbert were three up at the interval. The visitors went great guns when play was resumed, the home goalie having an anxious time. Many corners were forced, and from one of these sent in from the left, Watkins again scored, but the ball had been handled by one of the home players, and the penalty was awarded. Bull made no mistake. Time was fast drawing on, and. Porth had only made two or three spasmodic raids on the Tre- herbert goal. Lewis, the, home centre half, put through his own goal when hard pressed by the visifang forwards. This completed the score and time was called immediately afterwards. For Porth, Rees (goalkeeper) was in great form, and but for his sp^ndid clearances, the score must have been con- siderably augmented. The rest of the team seemed quite disjointed, and Thomas (centre forward) was badly supported. The splendid victory of Treherbert was well merited. The most notable players on the visitors' side were Thomas (left wing), G. Watkins, and Bull. ABERDARE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL 2gls., RHONDDA P.T.'s 1. Aberdare visited the Rhondda. Teachers on Saturday, the game being played at Porth. in ideal weather. Aberdare had proved victors in the previous encounter. The P.T.'s fielded three reserves. The visitors made tracks for the Rhondda goal directly after the kick-off. They were repulsed by Rees Jones and Josh. Williams, and OIL returning to the attack they forced Hanney to save. The Teachers then came in fori a spell of aggressive work, and after several at- tempts, scored through Aneurin Evans. The visitors kept up the pressure, and after Hanney had saved splendidly from Oxenham, Trevor Reyiio)dc, equalise(j-. Nothing further was scored up to the interval. The P.T.'s restarted. Abel Jones made an effort for the homesters, which was unsupported. Then Jevons scored the winning goal for Aberdare after a- com- bined attack. The P.T.'s strove strenuously to equalise after this, but the Aberdare defence proved sound. LLWYNYPIA RESERVES 4gls., FERN- DALE TUDOR JUNIORS 0. This, match was played upon the Part- ridge Grounds last Saturday, in very fine weather and before a good number of spectators. Llwynypia, winning the toss, started with the wind, and very soon got on the attack, but failed to score. At last, G. Uzzel scored a fine goal by .head- ing the ball from a. corner kick. From the kick-off, the Reserves were having all the play, giving the Tudor Juniors' goal- keeper, A. Thomas, plenty to do. Just before half-time, Bert Lewis scored the second goal for the homesters. From the restart, some good football was seen, and Llwynypia scored their third goal. Ferndale Juniors were awarded two corners in succession, and' they very nearly managed to put the ball through upon each occasion, but A. Couch, the goalkeeper, cleared in fine styft. Just before the end, the Reserves were awarded a penalty, and Bert Lewis, the skipper, scored the fourth goal. Llwynypia are now top of the League. They have played 14 matches, eleven of which have been won, two lost, and one drawn. They have secured 23 points out of a possible 28. FERNDALE ALL BLACKS Igl, MARDY ALBIONS 1. The All Blacks were at home on Satur- day to Mardy Albions. The homesters took the field minus several of their regular players. Mardy won the toss and elected to play with a strong wind. Caviel started for Ferndale, but was soon sent back. The visiting forwards were set going and kept the home goal repeatedly in danger, Will Jones making some magnificent saves. From a rush which took the ball to the home goal, the visitors' inside left netted. On the change of ends, play was a great deal faster than in the first half. Ernie Davies went away with a fine run and nearly did the trick. A series of corners were awarded the homesters, but all proved fruitless. Idwal Evans, the visiting outside left, was great, but was easily checked by Dai John Evans. The latter took the ball on his own and sent in a. stinging shot, thus equalising the score.

Presentation to Mr. Penry Williams, M.E., Ynyshir. Ambulance Brigade Dinner. The annual dinner of the Ynyshir Ambulance Division was held at the Station Hotel, Ynyshir, on Saturday evening last. There was a large attend- ance, as, in view of a presentation to take place, afterwards to Mr. P. H. Wil- Iiams, who is the superintendent of the Division, on his departure to take up an appointment as colliery manager at Taff's Well, the officials of the Standard Col- lieries and others were present. Mr. William Thomas (under-manager) ably )res presided over the dinner and the presen- tation meeting. The toast, The King and Royal Family," was proposed by Mr. Thomas and given heartily. The Ambulance Brigade" toast was also enthusiastically given, Supt. P. H. Williams, M.E., and Sergt. J. Morris responding. A vote of thanks was passed to the hotst and hostess, pro- posed by Mr. J. J. Hughes (secretary of the Brigade) and seconded by Private J. Thomas. Mr. William Thomas (the chairman), on rising to make the presentation, was loudly applauded. They were happy to do honour to Mr. Williams, and they felt a great sorrow at his departure. They could ill afford to lose a young man who was so active and energetic and who gave so readily of his best to every cause (applause). Mr. Williams was the most zealous member on the Benevolent Fund Committee, of which fund he was the treasurer. He (the speaker) had always found him a most pleasant and sym- pathetic man to work with, and a most upright gentleman (applause). He had therefore great pleasure in presenting Mr. Williams with a. case of instruments and a. silver sovereign purse. Addressing Mr. Williams, the speaker said he had plea- sure in handing him the articles as a very small token of their good feeling and respect for him on his leaving Ynyshir for Taff's Well. He lio-ed they would be accepted as they were given, with the best wishes of his employer and colleagues at the Standard Collieries. He wished him every success and prosperity, and hoped they would find him as active and as ei-ei-getic in Taff's Well as they had at Ynyshir (loud applause). Mr. Williams responded in a speech full, of feeling. He spoke of what was to him a great and memorable occasion, and one that he would remember as long as memory lasted (applause). He could never properly express his gratitude to them for their touching reception of him and the handsome presents they had seen fit to give him. It was more than he had ever expected. Mr. Thomas had been pleased to speak of the good work he was supposed to have done. If lie had done anything, it was no more than he was in duty bound to do (loud applause). If there was" one thing more • than another he was one thing more than another he regretted, it was that he had not a son tcAeave these things to after liim (laugh- er and applause). However, he knew that at Ynyshir they could go on without him, and lie only hoped thev would make themselves useful in the old place. Mr. David Williams (manager) spoke in eulogistic terms of Mr., Williams during his four years' service amongst them. He (the speaker) and the other officials hid always found him a ready, willing and sympathetic gentleman—ever ready to do his best (applause)._ Beyond all this he his best (applause). Beyond all this he was. of course, a jolly good fellow who made. life all the lighter for those around him (hear, hear). Mr. George Goldsworthy (under- manager) dwelt in appreciatory terms on Mr. Williams' labours with ambulance. It was to Mr. Williams that the credit belonged for establishing a splendid ambulance division in their midst. The -i attempt had been made before he came, but he it was who made the movement a success. He had performed the arduous duties of secretary, but was later ap- pointed superintendent, and in that capa- citv had raised the standard of smartness and efficiency (applause). He himself had seen the great value of ambulance work in collieries, and if onlv for his work in this connection Mr. Williams was worthy of all the honour they could confer upon him (loud applause). Other speakers were Messrs. Ellis Moore (mechanical engineer) and Harry Hale. Mr. Jackson (mechanical engineer, Lady Lewis Colliery), in an admirable speech. supported the presentation, and proposed a vote of thanks to the Ambulance Bri- gade for the excellent manner in which all the visitors had been entertained. On behalf of the Brigade, Mr. Supt. P. H. Williams renlied. At intervals, several interesting songs were given, the programme being of a verv high order, including Messrs. Arthur Thomas. Mr. J. Thomas, M.E., the pleasing tenor. Air. W. J. Gethin, Mr. Matt Evans (Coleman), the popular local singer of comic and descriptive songs. Mr. J. Howells accompanied'. On the proposition of Mr. Thos. Mills, seconded by Mr. Enoch Hale, the meet- r ing's hearty thanks were accorded the chairman and artistes
