COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. COLWYN BAY v. HOLYHEAD SWIFTS. MoCANiN MISSES A PENALTY, AND THE BAY D;ROP A POINT. (BY VEDETTE.") After Holyhead's fine victory over Carnarvon and the Biay's creditable draw at Pwllheli, a splendid g.ame was anticipated between these teams, and a record gate was expected. But, alas! the weather turned out to be most tun favourable for footbajll, and. the receipts were only some £3, whereas, given, fair conditions, they would have totalled four times that sum. A keen wind blew with remarkable force all through the afternoon, and as I watched the game (by kind permission of Mr. W. J. Dunn- ing) from an upstairs, window of a house direct- ly facing the centre of the field, I felt sorry for the unfortunate mortals who had gathered, either huddled together like sheep by the dress- ing-room, or standing with their backs to the canvas screen in a vain attempt to get shelter from rude Boreas. Under the terrible conditions which prevailed, the attendance must be termed satisfactory, and the pity of it is that the town club were robbed of several pounds. Those who braved the elements, among whom, strange to say, were a number of ladies, are entitled to great praise for their enthusiasm, which brought them to the ground under such depressing con- ditions. Holyhead were minus their centre forward, H. O. Jones;, and their right back, J. Briggs; (two reserves in the persons of Owen Williams land Owen Morgan being drafted into the team. The Bay were short of J. W. Ellis, who was to play centre half, aolid the inclusion of Ted Ro berts necessitated a partial reconstruction of the team. The clubs were therefore represented as follows: Colwy n Bay C. Ball wood, goal; H. Toniknn and T. MoCann (captain), backs; Ned Griffiths, T. Wellings, and J. Williams, halves: Moss IJbnes, Ted Roberts, Stanley H'u.ghcs, Walter Parry, and J. Ll. Owen, forwards. iHolyhead Swifts Collier, goal; Rowland Williams and Owen 'Morgan, backs; J. Row- lands (captain), W. T. Jones, and R. Ellis, halves; Salisbury Owen, R. C. Jones, Owen Williams, J. W. Jones, and H. Brown, forwards. Referee, Mr. J. E. Jones. Linesmen Mr. Bert Die ken, Colwyn Bay, and Mr. Percy Weekes (Chairman of the North Wales Coast League), Holyhead. The Bay had the- advantage of the wind in the first half, and pressed hotly from the start. The ball was difficult to control, and several times the home front line put it too far forward, with the result that the backs cleared easily. After fast play in the visitors' half, one of the backs, in effecting a clearance, kicked the ball against his hand, and the referee awarded a penalty. MoCann made no mistake with the shot, driving the ball into the top left hand corner of the net. The Swifts made tracks for Ball-wood on resuming, but the wind was- too much for them, and they were driven back. The Bay forced a couple of cor-nets on the left, which, though well placed by Owen, were not converted. On the other wing, a corner kick taken by Ned Griffiths was met by Parry, who shot in, but the ball struck a back's toot and bounded over the bar. Griffiths took the ensuing kick, and, allowing for the wind, sent in a splendid shot that curled right into the net. Cries of Goal! were raised, but as no other player had touched the ball, a goal kick was the result. Holyhead rarely crossed the half way line, and the game became a succession of goal kicks and corner kicks. The Bay forwards, however, did not com- bine wiall, and their shooting was poor. Stanley, who had been playing as well as anyone, was tripped just inside the penalty area, but MoCann shot the wrong side of the right hand post amid dead silence. The Swifts struggled up almo-st as far as Hallwood, but the Bay asserted them- selves, and after good play on the right wing, a cmmelr was forced on the left. Owen dropped in a perfect centre, and after a melee in the goal- mouth Parry shot in and scored. The Holyhead players surrounded the referee, and protested that a Bay for-watd had fisted the ball, and their linesman ran on the field and upheld this coio- tention. Mr. Jones was close up at the time, and had no hesitation ilnallowing a goal. Two minutes later the Bay right wing got in motion, and Griffiths put on a third goal with a shot that went just inside the right hand post. A brave attempt by Owen on the visitors" right to transfer play to the other end was- beaten back, and then came half time with the score •—■ C'olwyn Bay, 3; Bolyhead Swifts, o. On resuming, Holyhead attacked, but the Bay retaliated and rushed to the other end, wheal Parry put behind. With the assistance of the wind, the 'Swifts began to exert pressure, jjust as the Bay had done in the first half, and Hall wood was several times called upon. On several occasions their forwards had the home defence in difficulties,, and Hallwood was cheered for a fine save. From a passing movement by the right wing, Brown obtained possession, and passed to J. W. Jones, who scored from close in, the ball bouncing over Ballwood into the net Holyhead then attacked vigorously, and McCann and Toiiikiiin were hard put to stem a dangerous rush. Salisbury Owen sent across a splendid centre, but no one was up. The home forwards visited Collier, but could not maintain their advantage Clever play by the Swifts was spoilt by offside. The visiting front line was doing well, and received valuable assistance from the halves. Their passing in front of goiail was very smart, and from one of these move- ments R. C. Jones worried the ball past Mc- Cann byslheer perseverance, and shot into the net. Brown secured a good position, but was offside, and Ll. Owen dribbled up the field. The Bay were dangerous for a minute or two, but Williams and Morgan held them well in check. For a while play was carried on in midfield, after which Holyhead made a determined raid on the right. After fine combination in front of goal, R. C. Jones received, and after beating two .men scored grandly, thus equalising thirteen minutes hoW time. Salisbury Owen was pro- minent, and a shot of his hit the side of the net, whilst soon after offside spoilt an attack by the left wing. The Swifts forced a couple of earners, but with the end drawing near the Bay strove desperately to gain the lead. Moss was given a nice pass by Roberts and made a fine run and centre, but Parry hea.ded wide. He was, more- over, offside. McCann headed away when danger threatened, and a centre from the Holy- head right wing had just sailed over the bar when time was called with the result:- Colwyn Bay, 3; Holyhead Swifts, 3. < < COMMENTS. The general opinion was that the game had proved a most interesting one. On a dry ground and under notmal conditions I should fancy Holyhead to win, as their forwards are superior to those of the B.ay. Nevertheless the Bay had the best of the game, and did better against the wind than the Swifts. There was no forgive- ness for McCann's fatal error which thus caused his siide to drop a point. In spite of his mis- take, however, he was about the best man on the field, and both in tackling and defence was superb. He does not seem to lose his speed, either, and he kept a vigilant eye on his wing. The Holyhead team, who are known to be such fine sportsmen, are not slow to, recognise the merits of an opposing player, and were loud in their praises of McCann's exhibition. They de- scribed him as the bulwark of the Bay," which indeed he is, and still one of the finest all-round players on the coast. The game was completely spoilt by the wind, and it would be runfair to judge players on the form shown in this, match. One side, and one side only, attacked in each half, the Bay in the first, and the Swifts in the second. The Bay forwards were fair, and the halves and backs good. After McCann, Wellings took the eye, and then Stanley Hughes, but there was not much to choose. Ted Roberts made a good partner to Moss, and Hallwood did well. The Swifts-, disorganised in the first half, played well in the second. Their defence was very fine, and the halves and forwards did clever work. Col- lier made some good saves. f should not c-are to pick out any individual player for praise, al- though the centre-half and the right wing for- wards were often prominent. They are a very strong side-, and should easily enter the next tround of the Welsh Cup at. the expense of Llan- dudno Amateurs neuct Saturday.
BEAUMARIS v. BANGOR.

BEAUMARIS v. BANGOR. THE PUFFINS STILL VICTORIOUS. (By" VIGILANT.") The barometer was much consulted on' Satur- day, for 'twas a great day to be. Bangor were due at Beaumaris to. play a League match, and the interest was- high. I do not think that pre- vious to Saturday Beaumaris could boast of once having lowered the colours of proud Citizens. And memories of last season's niem-oirable defeat on the Castle Grounds of the Puffins left such an impression that nurtured sweet revenge in the hearts of the bold Beaumiarisiams. The day of opportunity for this revenge cam,- round on Saturday, and sweet it was to the Anglesea men. As I said at the- commencement, the barometer was consulted, and in Bangor its reading was doubtful success -at Beaumaris. But there were also hopes of a clearing up. That never came. In Beaumaris the reading of the indicator was fair and promising, but unsteady early in the morning. Theme was no doubt but that the win- try weather kept many away from the Anglesea Derby that would otherwise have been there. However, the large and intensely excited crowd brought in over £20 to the Exchequer of the Beaumaris club. Of course:, the ground was in a heavy state consequent upon the heavy rain and hail during the week, but this did not pre- vent a fast game being seen. Both sides had strong elevens. In oonsre quence of a previous engagement at Holywell, Mr. Slater could not omciate. at Beaumaris, and his place was filled by Mr. W. T. Miller, of Chester, whose ruling during the afternoon gave every satisfaction. The firmness of a referee's ruling has -an inGisrtimable effect upon a game wheme feeling of partisanship runs high. Had there been any of this likely to be shown, it was at once apparent that Mir. Miller was going to nip it in the bud. The following were the aides Beaumaris: Fielding Richards, goal; William Williams and Sam Davies-, backs; Taylor, Levi Jones, and W. J. Jones, halves; Dai Davies, Dick Humphreys," W. O. Humphreys, Smedley, and S. Poole, forwards. Bang-or: O. R. Jones, goal; Hwfa Williams and D. J. Thomas, backs; W. Jones, H. J. Davies, and T. A. Griffiths, halves; Hughie Owen, Charlie Burns, A. Diargie, Hughie Davies, and Edgar Lloyd Jones, forwards. It will be seen that O. R. Jones, last season's custodian for the Beaus, was keeping charge of the Bangor citadel, and-a welcome return to the Carnarvonshire team's ranks was seen in Charlie Burns, who is a great favourite with the football crowd. Of course, everybody footbally for miles around were there—even Ned Lllwyd was a spectator but I failed to observe ",Catrin amongst the many ladies in the crowd. The strong wind that prevailed on the Straits was not felt to any great degree upon the ground, owing to being nicely sheltered by Baron Hill and its delightful surroundings. And one might well asfe what was this excited crowd gathered for within the Castle Grounds of Beau- maris, and the reply would soon, be forthcoming, that it was expected, in Beaumari-s, at any rate, that Bangor's fame would receive a check that day. If that could be so, argued some, it meant the dawn of a new era in Anglesea football. Holyhead's glory has dwindled into comparative obscurity since the Beaumaris team has done such wonders.. Bangor and Holyhead were the two most formidable teams that Beaumaris had to contend with. And both of these have bad to acknowledge defeat from the Puffins. < There was a continual murmur of excitement as W. O. Bumphreys started the ball towards the sea-end goal. The Homers had the advantage of the wind that there was. The Homers were the first to show up well, and were not long before they called upon Richards to save, which he did in a promising manner. Then the Beaus retaliated, and forced a corner, and O. R. Jones saved a beautifully-placed ball by pouncing out and sending it out of danger. The Beaus had-, after this, very hard lines. O. R. Jones was down, and missed his charge, with the result that he was encircled by several players. Would the ball be put in the net? That was a momentous question. However, a foul relieved matters, and Bangor breathed again. Beaumaris were not so smart when they got in front as I have seen them. But there is no doubt but that the high tension of feeling that was being felt greatly affected the players. Bangor were gradually shewing the tactics for which they are noted, and Fielding Richards saved another shot from the foot of Dargie, which that player put in with all the cunning of his artful play. The Beau- marisians forced the game, and Levi Jones, on the one side, was playing a capital game in checking Bangor's cliward movements, and H. J. Davies was equally as active on the Bangor side. A free kick was granted Beaumaris, and Levi Jones took the kick and drove in fiercely, and O. R. Jones was beaten. The result was greeted with loud cheering. The enthusiasm had hardly spent its force than it was renewed as Dai Davies delighted the crowd with a fine shot, and O. R. Jones- was, equal to the occasion. Bangor tried haid to draw level, but I must con- fess that there was. something wanting in Ban- gor's play that we were accustomed to. There were not the dare-devil movements that some- times characterise the Ba-ngorians' play. The Beaus, on the other hand, were playing a re- gular cup tie game, a go-ahelad affair. W. O. Humphreys, from a huge bound of the ball, caught it with his forehead, and banged it for- ward. He was sailing away nicely, when Hwfa managed to frustrate his further efforts. Sam Poole gained possession, and centred niceily, and W. 0. Humphreys sent in a terrific grounder, and O. R. Jones fell full length in sajving. After some brusque mid-fielld exchanges, Bangor got the upper hand, and they gained a penalty, which Dargie took, and in the most cool man- ner planted the ball well out tof the reach of Richard-s -in the corner of the net. This was an eye-opener to the supporters of the Beaus, and the, equalising point was vigorously cheered by the Bangor supporters. « • Beaumaris improved, and Levi Jones sent a terrific flying shot past the post. After some ex- cellent play by Beaumaris forwards, offside nullified the work. Then Levi tried another fly- ing pop that was wide. Hughie Owen,, on the other side, opened out the, play, and Richards had to run oiuit and save, and Dargie sent in a very ctever ground shot which Richards saved by falling full length to it. This was a fine bit of work of Dargie and Richards, and pleased the respective supporters immensely. Bangor were now having somewhat the best of matters, and Richards was called upon, and he, had a very narrow squeak of being beaten,. Dargie swept a grounder in from the left, and W. J. Jones, just in the nick of time, cleared splendidly. Taylor missed his kick, and Hughie Davies tried his luck with a flying-shot that was just wide- Then followed some good vigorous, tackling and "ham- mer and tongs- movements-. Smedley shot wide at one end, and Edgar Lloyd Jones swung a splendid shot across, and Richards had to con- cede a corner, and later Edgar sent in a teaser on the side of the net. Bangor obtained an-

LLANRWST v. PWLLHELI. M UD LARKING. (BY GWILYM.") The Roosters and the Penguins were pitched to do battle on Saturday, and with expeotatioills of a pleasant game I trudged to the Vale of 'Conway market town, finding, on my arrival, that during the morning there had been heavy showers of hail and snow. The playing pitch in ■Gwydyr Park: has the reputation of being a slushy one after wet weather, and shortly after my arrival I made a tour of inspection-, with the result that I came to the conclusion that water- polo wou/ld have' been more suitable than foot- ball. There were several large pools of wiater on the pitch, ,some of them six inches deep. < < Bowever, the visiting team walked to the field all ismiles, but when they noticed what they had to command the ball in, they very soon changed. As Mir. Bersee's substitute, the whistle was taken charge of by Mr. C. 0. Jones, Bangor. The teams lined up as follows Llanrwst: Goal, Gillet; backs. W. Owen and Trevor; half backs, Chishoilm, R. D. Richards, and Francis Williams; forwards, Humphrey Roberts, Bowel Roberts, Arthur Richards, Evan Jones, and iStep-hen Bughes. Pwllheli: Gal, Slam Roberts; backs, Will Thomas and Jim Ellis; half-backs, W. Griffiths, Bob Ellis, and Thompson; forwards, R. D. Roberts, Mossley Jones, Owen Jones, Johnnie Williams, and Ben Evans. As usual, the Llanrwst team were short of two men at the commencement of hostilities. The visitors decided to, play with a wind favour- ing them a little, amd, on the start of the ball, pressed on the left wing, Ben Evans putting in a nice centre, which went a-begging. The Pen)- guins again made tracks, but Trevor came to the rescue and cleared. The visitors were per- sistent, and Johnnie Williams missed an easy chance of testing Gillet. From a goal kick, Gillet accidentally placed to Mossley, who was but eighteen yards aw-ay. The latter was stuck in the mud, and before he could shoot he was tackled, and his drive went wide of the mark. The home late scholars appeared, and there was a slight change in the venue of hostilities. Stephen Hughes commanded the ball well along the line, but his final attempt at centreing was weak. Mosisley Jones was continually giving trouble to the home defence, and after some smart drabbling—in a pool of water-he got 11Oiund, and had only Gillet to face, but again the slush spoiled his chance. But for Johnnie Williams being only three of four inches offside, the Llanrwst goal mlust now have been pene- trated. R. D. Roberts placed in an accurate centre, which Gillet ran out to meet and at- temped to kick, and failed, land as Johnnie was placing in the net he was given offside. The Roosters were up with their combs, and became aggressive. Arthur Richards was prominent in some smart play, and after he had worked to within a few yards of goal, Francis Williams rushed up, arnd together they spoiled a glorious chance. This was a great mistake on the part of Francis. A coiner kick resulted, but the Penguins cleared and made tracks for the other goal, only to be pulled up on account of the outside left being offside. By this time the ground was in a terrible state, and it was only at a crawling pace that the players could get along. At times the ball got stuck, and it was with some difficulty extricated from the mud. There was now a somewhat sensational turn of events, for, despite the fact tl4at the Penguins were pressing the whole time, three goals were scored against them in quick succession. The first came from the foot of Evan Jones as the result of some tricky play, and he was also- re- sponsible for the second, although the home back placed through his own goal in trying to clear. The third came from the foot of Stephen Hughes, with a low shot in the corner of the net. The Roosters were jubilant, and the poor Penguins appeared to be quite demoralised, but the forwards played up gamely, and an accurate corner kick placed bv Ben, Eivans narrowly es- caped being put past Gillet. There was a rush up the field after, and a melee in the visiting goal, the keeper ultimately bringing off a fine save. The visiting captain, Bob Ellis, gave his men some excellent examples by shooting at Gillet continually, but the latter was equal to the occa- sion, and played a marvellous game. Shortly before half-time the visitors broke away, led by Owen Jones, who shot, but the force of his kick was checked by the mud, and Gillet was abofut to pick the ball rtp, when Johinillie Williams nipped in and put the ball in the net. At half time the score stood at 3-1 in favour of Llanrwst. « On the resumption, play became vigorous., and most of the players found themselves covered from head to foot with mud. The visitors were the first to press, and a free kick was given agalinst W. Owen for tripping Johnnie Williams. The free kick was taken by Bob Ellis. who placed accurately. Gillet, however, stopped its career, and the ball appeared to drop over the line, when it was kicked away. This appeared from the spectators' positions to be a clear goal, but it was not given. There was only a partial clearance, and 'Thompson struck the crossbar with a swift shot. Gillet was in fine form, and kept the attackers at bay with some very clever saves. Pwllheli were giving the homesters an anxious time, and but for the miraculous saves of Gillet the score must have been a heavy one. He was continually bombarded from e-very posi- tion, and each time he was in the way of the ball travelling into- the net. On one or two oc- casions, however, Gillet bad a somewhat nasty practice of holding on to the ball and awaiting a crowd of opponents- to get around him instead of throwing -aAvay. The ball, of course, had to be ,thrown up by the referee-, and once or twice this very nearly cost his side a goal. Several corner kicks were awarded the Penguins, each of which was well placed, but Gillet fisted away (Continued on page 9).

other penalty against Taylor, and Dargie again essayed the shot. He sent the ball straight at Richards, and owing to the state of the ground, the ball slipped from under him into the net. Half-time soon after arrived, with the score Bangor, 2; Beaumaris, 1. A corner gained by Beaumaris was cleared, and BeaJUJmaris were now, with a slight advan- tage of wind, playing desperately to. alter mat- ters. Levi Jones sent in/ a beautiful high drop- ping shot which Jones- saved. The effort was applauded to the echo. Then Dargie, at the other end, tried to defeat Richards, with a teaser. The latter saved at the expense of a corner. This was cleared, and a melee occurred in front of O. R. Jones, and out of the scrimmage the ball was netted. Then arose a shout of joy, and from now to the end of the game, all had something like play worthy of the occasion. The tactics of Beaumaris were very forcible, and it was not long ere they had gained a coirner. This was gloriously placed by Dick Bumphrsys, the ball dropping right at the foot of the post. Jones stooped to pick it up, and it curled over his hands: into the net. This was the winning goal, as it proved to be, and j'ubiliiationi knew no bounds. Then away gal- loped the Beaus, and Sam Pooile sent in a splen- d;id centre, which was splendidly met by Dai Davies, who defeated Jones with a beauty. Then there was an uproar oi delight, which subsided as it was found that the point had not been allowed owing to. an infringement of the ,rules. And so. hard did Bangor try and equalise, that it was quite within the range of possibility any moment. Bowever, the end came, with Beau- maris the winners. Final: Beaumaris, 3; Bangor, 2.
