WELSH AMATEUR CUP. THE FINAL AT COLWYN BAY. CARNARVON UNITED v. OAK ALYN ROVERS. THE CANARIES WIN A POPULAR VICTORY. (BY "VIGILANT.") The caprices of April showers were never mcKre evident than on Saturday. They were truily xwrhkind to the combatants too- the securing of the We;1sh Amateur Cup—which, to give it its old and more popular name, the Welsh Junior CUip-amd the goodly niuimfoei of people that de- sired to see the struggle. The downfall was pitiless, and the heiavens were weeping copious- ly, to the great disappointment of those who had anticipated a good match. If for a time the showers ceased they renewed themselves so frequently that a large number of spectafors who had come unprepared must have been, drenched to the skin. And the showers were just the fac- tor to make the Colwyn Bay enclosure assume its ugliest mood. It is clayey, and so wretched- ly drained that no, match in wet weather is hardLy worth, seeing thereon. Heartfelt sym- pathy went out to. the respective goalkeepers, who were planted in a sea of mud, and never, T should think, would they feel more glad than when the go minJThtes were up. One cannot help refraining here from refer- ring to the most inexplicable action of the Welsh Football Association in their handling of this final. The historical protest of Aberystwyth will for a long while remain. a. mystery to those not in the know. I sympathise very much with the Canaries, who were put to such expense as to take several witnesses to Shrewsbury, forsooth! to have the protest re-heard. We on the North Wales Coast have very little Knowledge of the doings Wrexham way, and this fact alone is a strong argument for more representation on, the Welsh Council for Coast football. However, the thing is now over, and the cup has been worn by the good old Canaries after much vex- atious worry. Another fact is that although the gate under such distressing circumstances was, I understood, over £15, one wonders what it would have been the Saturday previous at Llan- dudno, when people were full of excitement abouft the match. The match was under the control of Mr. Alf. Slater, of Llandudno, who commanded the esteeim of all by his firm and judicious ruling. He was assisted by Mr- Tom Jones, of Holy- well, and Ma-. Meir, of Colwyn Bay, as lines- men, and there were several members of the Welsh Football Association present, amongst whom was My. Nunnerley, who represented the President of the parent Association, and pre- sented the cup on his behalf at the close of the match. A novel feature on the ground was the placing of an omnibus on the west end of the ground, which proved a blessing to. several who would otherwise have been drenched by the rain. The following were the sides: — Carnarvon United G. H. Jones, goal; Evan Hughes and Albert Griffiths, backs; Johnny Griffiths, Mick Herbert, and J. Williams, halves; R. H. Roberts (captain), Tommy Ro- berts, Walter Jones, Hug-hie Roberts, and E. R. Jones, forwards. Oak Alyn Rovers: R. J. Roberts, goal (cap- tain) S. Davies and E. Davies, backs Ivor Jones, Emlyn Jones, and James Martin, halves Oswald Lewis, E. Jones, Morris Rowlands, George Baugh, and T. Green, forwards. < < It will be observed that Johnnie Jones was massing from his accustomed place of outside left for the Canaries, through iniuries, and an excellent deputy was found in E. R. Jones, who- is a very promising and skilful player. Morris Rowlands, the pivot for the Oaks, had played in that position in several matches for Beau- maris this season. ti There were hardly anv Oak supporters on the ground, whilst the Canaries had a very con- siderable following, and who made tham^elvtw known by encouraging shouts for the yellow ones. Carnarvon', carried the horse-shoe mascot with them that they secured from the Llandudno Amateurs-' ground, and they have become semi- superstitious as to. the luck attached t0' it. Whether they were in any sexiousness or not to be attached to such things, the fact remains that the Canaries have done well since they obtained it. A conspicuous thing upon, the upper side of the ground was an open sunshade of blue and white sections with the Oak Alyn name thereon, and this emblem of encouragement after the match was sported with much relish by juvenile street newsvendors. Theie was a touch of pathos in that reminiscent of the flight of the enemy who had left the trophy behind. The Canaries were donned in their pretty jerseys of claret and. blue, whilst the Oak Alyn boys, a very fine and sturdy lot, looked very neat in white jerseys and delicate pale blue knickers. The Oaks won the toss, and decided to play down the slope towards Penrhos College. Walter Jones kicked off, and excitement com- menced. Few knew anything about the calibre of the Oaks, and their opening movements were watched with more than ordinary interest. I ought to say that under such wretched condi- tions, where pools of water were in the centre of the field, and the ball dropping dead therein, and the water splashing up to the players' faces, the game was either sides. The correct game— however alever both sides might be'—was im- passible. And so after some give and take play Morris Rowlands went through and tried his luck with a long pot shot that flew over the bar. This seemed to stimulate the Canaries, who, by excellent footwork, which was really clever Iqpvm. such a ground, worked themselves up the field and looked dangerous. By luck they were cleared out, and two fouls against the yellow ones saw the Oaks have a spell of advantage. But their work was disappointing. We all seemed to expect what never was seen, i.e., foot- work worthy of showing that the Oaks were good finalists. On the other hand, the play of Carnarvon was persistent and go-ahead. E. R. Jones, securing, diddled an Oak defender, and centred beautifully, and although, the Davieses were defending as best they could one of them had the mortification of seeing the ball glide like lightning from his body into the net. This greatly cheered the Canaries and their sup- porters, and. there were loud cheers. It seemed just the tonic necessary for Carnarvon, for whilst Oak Alyn made attempts to equalise they never seemed likely to do it up to this .point, and the yellow ones forced the game with vigour and persistency. Walter Jones sent from almost midfielid a high dropping shot into goal. Ro- berts came out to meet it. The ball bounced in front of him, and went over his head into the net. Evidently Carnarvon had studied the fact that on such a day that was the most likely way to win, and it was. To be two goals in arrear comparatively early in the match was a bitter pill for the OaSkis, and the reverse for the time being seemed to, nonplus them. Having some- what revived later on. from the shock, the Oaks pressed awhile, and a fine attempt hit the right post and rebounded into play, and desperate efforts were made to net the ball; but the fates were against the Oaks, and a narrow squeak of the downfall of G. H. Jones's charge was seen. The Canaries, however, breathed again when the ball was got out of danger. » Now the Canaries show us some fine combina- tion a la the match at Bangor when they beat the cityites in this same competition. It was pleasing to behold it. It was clean, clever, and bewildering to the other side, who could onily make spasmodic rushes until, catching the de- fence of the Canaries in. a weak moment, Morris Rowlands made a break through the defence, and with a fast skidding grounder beat G. H. Jones to the world. And after many incidents of an exciting nature half time arrived with the score Carnarvon, 2 Oak Alyn, 1. The Canaries, in the second half, having the advantage of the slope, were expected to add to their score. Others thought it might be possible that the Oaks would show their true form—for a gentleman that had seen the Oaks play pre- viously said they were not doing so—in this half. But they did not. Far from it, save to- wards the close for a few minutes. It was not very long before the Canaries had added a third to their number, and this success seemed to settle the question in the minds of many who were seen to leave the field. Still the battle was waged in another pitiless downpour, and Mr. Slater, who was bareheaded., as is his- wont in., sunshine, snow, or rai-n-N,a,s seen to have, like the players, miniature brooks running down their faces and necks. Talk about your heroes. Are not these the heroes of sport? Call them what you like, and I am one of them, the cuilt of football enthusiasm has virtues of its own.

A Remarkable Llandudno Case. Lack of Vitality and weak Lungs cured by DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mr Richard Jones, of 2, School Cottages, Bryn Pydew, Llandudno, WTiteS: I suffered from about two years from lack of vitality and weak lungs, and I used to get very tired and ex- hausted, and I had a dry, hacking cough. I tried no end of medicines, 'some of which did me a small amount of good, but none as much as your wonderful Tablets. I consider them the remedy par excellence for the weak, jaded, or run rlOWII1, and now, thanks to their use, I am enjoying life the same as I used to." For nervous prostration, anaemia, debility, stomach troubles, paralysis of the nerves, heart weakness, kidney troubles, and nearly all forms of nerve and bodily weakness, Dr. Cassell's Tab- lets are unequalled. They only cost ioyd. (trial size), is. Id., and 2s. gd. a box, of any chemist. And here were many minus topcoats or any

covering from the rain remaining to see the match whilst gentle April baptised them with her copious showers. The only thing I hope is that they will not get colds from it, and that their enthutsiaam would keep them warm. Just fancy little Tommy Biulokland, of Bangor, going the whole day without a top coat and getting wet through. Well, tQ return to the play, it was apparent that the hopes of Oak Alyn were evaporating fast, and this became accentuated when the de- fence let in Hughie Roberts, who. made a grand run through the defence, and after scoring the fourth goal with a sbarp grounidet swerved to the left of the goal and fell on the ground in pain. The ball had struck him previous to. the run, but Hughie's action looked for all the world like a hero's last attempt with success before collapsing. The game was stopped, and Hughie was carried into the dressing-room, for it was found he had been so, hurt that he could not participate further in the game, to the regret of everyone. Notwithstanding that there were four goals against them, the Oaks hereabouts bucked up, and were for a spell hovering dangerously m front of G. H. The right wing, Lewis and Jones, were plaving well, and there were several nar- row squeaks for Carnarvon. So slushly was the goalmouth that anything might happen. Now the ball was a few yards in front of goal. Which foot would get it? Over the bar it goes. It is siooi returned and. corners onsue. And from one of these Johnny Griffiths, in his endeavour to head out of goal, heads it over the bar just on the net. This spell was the best display the Oaks had given us, and when, one says that Albert Griffiths missed several of his kicks close in, my readers can imagine that anything might happen. However, the Canaries outlived the siege, and after getting the ball away, Walter Jones made a solo run a.nd outwitting everything planted the fifth goal in the net amidst great cheering. And so ended the final for the Welsh Amateur Cup, which goes to Canary land for the first time, I understand, in their history. Final: Carnarvon, 5; Oak Alyn, 1. NOTES. All praise to the yellow ones for their decisive victory. It was a victory gained by sheer superiority of merit. Of that there are no two opinions. The display was. such that all North Wales Coast footballers were proud of it. It was an evidence of the superiority of the North Wales Coast League team against that of the Flintshire League team. In every department was the Canary element better, and I congratu- late them upon having fought so well for the securing of the trophy. < PRESENTING THE CUP. There was a scene of jub-iliation as Mr. Nwn- nerley, on behalf of the President of the Welsh Football Association., presented R. H. Roberts, the captain of the Canaries, with the cup. He regretted the miserable weather, and compli- mented the teams upon the good game they had played. He congratulated Carnarvon on having won the cup for the first time, and he hoped it would not be the last. (Loud cheers.) He was sure the Oak Alyn, team would take their decisive defeat in a sportsmanlike manner, and he called for three cheers for them. These were given with much vigour.

COAST SENIOR LEAGUE. CONWAY v. LLANDUDNO AMATEURS. DEFEAT OF THE JACKDAWS. (BY RAMBLER.") Conway entertained I.Ian,dudno .in the return League match on Saturday, and suffered defeat by three goals. Rain fell throughout the whole game, and what would, if the weather had been fine, have been a record gate, was spoiled. The visitors had their strongest eleven out, but Con- way were minus two, of their regular players- Bob Owen and E. Parry—their places being taken by Hugh Parry and John, Parry. The referee was Mr. Harry Jones, of Llanrwst. It was pouring rain when the players lined up as follows: Llandtudno Stallard', goal; J. H. Jones and Smith, backs W. Edwards, George Davies, and Harold Pearson, halves; W. D. Williams, Brookes-Evans, Jack Brown, Claude Davies/and J. Williams, forwards. Conway Llew Parry, goal; Tom Jones and O. Ellis, backs; Johnson, Thompson, aril John Parry, halves; T. Craven, Hugh Parry, T. Athert-on, E. Chase, and Sam Parry, forwards. » Pearson defeated Ltew- Parry in the spin of the coin, the Blues playing towardi the river. Ather- ton. started the ball, and Sam Parry was con- spicuous early on the left, a brilliant centre of his going a-begging. The Amateurs now moved away on the right, Brookes-Evans testing Llew Party with a swift low shot, which the little one managed to. save under difficulty. The Blues again came down on the left. Chase easily got the better of an, argument with George Davies, hut when in a splendid' position, he slipped, and J. H. Jones cleared up the field. The ground was in a fearful condition, both goals being under water. The Amateurs were far superior in their play at this point, their half backs play- ing a fine game. The first to open the score were the Amateurs, through Brookes-Evans, who beat Llew with a very soft shot. After this re- verse the homesters strove hard to. draw level, but Stallard was equal to all pressure, being ably assisted by Jones and Smith. From a throw in on the left, Sam Parry raced away, but when on the point of shooting was bowled over by Edwards. The free, kick was of no avail to the Blues, as J. H. Jones cleverly took the ball from Chase's foot. Nearing the interval, Craven was given, a capital chance, but instead of driving into goal be. waited/ till Pearson came up, the result being that he lost the ball. over the line. Nothing of note occurred up to the interval,,and when the whistle sounded all the players wece glad to partake of hot coffee. No time was lost in restarting, and almost from the start Llew Parry saved with ease a shot from Jack Brown. A moment later the same player missed an open goal. It was, soon evident that the homesters were tired out, whilst the visitors were seen at their best form. Splen- did harmony existed amongst the forwards. J. Williams on the left was always conspicuous with fine runs, and i none. of these he took the ball to the corner flag, and when, the whistle sounded he carelessly sent in a shot which was netted, Llew Parry not attempting to stop its career, being under the impression that the ball was out of play, but the referee awarded a goal, and after this second reverse the Blues lost all heart, playing a most reckless game. The only it-en- of note in the second, half was a centre by 'Craven, which was missed by both Chase and Sam Parry, the ball running out to touch. From a free kick the. Amateurs again went down, and a beautiful goal was headed past Llew, butt the referee disallowed the point. There was now only a few minutes to play, and some of the home players left the' field one by one until only six players renuained. Llandudno, added another to their score, Jack Brown Deing the scorer. Parry, the homesters' left wing, appeared itli goal for the few remaining minutes, and with the visitors pressing, the whistle sounded, a poor game resulting in a win for Llandudno by three goals to nil.. < < -COMMENTS. There is very little to be said in. favoiUir of the home team. They gave a miserable display, es- pecially the forwards. Llandudno were far superior as a team, and fully deserved the points. They gave a splendid account of them- selves, every man of them.

BEAUMARIS v. COLWYN BAY. THE, GULLS OUTCLASSED. PUFFINS IN GREAT FORM. (BY SPECTATOR.") This League match was played at the Castle Ground, Beaumaris, on Saturday, in wretched weather, rain falling throughout the game. Beaumaris turned out at full strength, Sam Poole making his re-appearance at outside left. Colwyn Bay had several Reserves in their team, and this gave the Puffins a chance to improve their goal average. A fair sized, crowd lined the ropes when Referee Mr E. Lloyd Williams lined the teams up as follows:- Beaumaris F. Richards, goal; W. G. Wil- liams and Sam Davies, backs; Don, Dowlands, Levi Jones, and W. J. Jones, halves; R. Hum- phreys, Di Davies, W. O. Humphreys (captain), A. Smedley, and Sam Poole, forwards. Cblwyn Bay: J. Booth, goal; Glutton and Rowlands, backs; E. Griffiths, C. Hallrwood, and Pritchard, halves; Moss Jones, W. H. Hughes, J. Owen, Kay, and J. L1. Owen, for- wards. From the kick off the' hoirneistets set to work, and were soon troubling the visitors' defence; but Rowlands kicked clear. Levi got posses- sion and put out to Poole, who centred, for W. O. Humphreys to run in and score the first goal. This stirred the visitors to play up a bit, but they found the home defence too- good for them, and the forwards got going. Di Davies sacured close in and scored, giving Booth no chance. Again they came, and W. O. H., runi- niing through, passed to Di Davies, who made no mistake, and scored number three. It was soon seen that the homeisfers were in fine form,, and they gave the visitors no chance to settle down. Hallwood checked the home .forward, and passed out to Mósls Jones, who tried to get through, but found W. J. Jones too clever for him. The homesters kept up the attack, and after some good p'lay by Poole and Smedley, the latter centred, and Di Davies meeting the ball banged it into the net, out of Booth's reach. The same player scored again a minute later. After this, the home team eased up, and from a break- away J. LI. Owen all but scored. From the goal kick, Moss Jones, gaining possession, forced a comer off Davies. This was well placed, and Owen headed in out of Richard's reach. From the centre the Puffinls made, tracks for Booth, who- saved well from Poole and Humphreys. There was no holding the homesters, and shot after shot was sent at Booth, who, was keeping a good goal, but unfortunately, he fell amcr struck the upright, and had to leave the field. Hallwood went to goal, and he found plenty to do., and saved well from R. Humphreys, but Di Davies, however, beat him with a fast ground shot. The homesters kept troubling Hallwood, and several shots only just missed by inches, Smedley especially having hard lines. Half- time arrived with the score: Beaumaris, 6; Colrwvn Bay, r. < < The second half opened' very tamely, and some few minuteis had passed before anything of note took place. The first to show up was the home left wing, who were well supported by their half-back. They gave the visiting defence plentv of work, and shots from both Poole and Smedley were saved in great style by Hallwood. The homesters now penned the visitors in their o.wn half, and but for an occasional breakaway by J. Ll. Owen and Moss Jones, the Puffins' de- fence were never troubled. The Puffins' for- wards swept down on the Gulls' goal, and some easy chances of scoring were missed through the treacherous state of the ground. After some good forward play by the homesters, W. O. H. sacured, and beating all opposition, looked like scoring, when he slipped with the ball under him. Di Davies rushed uip and had the ball in the net like a flash. Still the Puffins kept up the attack, and. Poole was seen at his, best. He beat several opponents, and finished up with a shot that gave Hallwood no, chance. From the centie J. LI. Owfn ran through and looked like scor- ing, but Richards brought off a fine save. Re- turning to, the attack, the Puffins' left wing, playing uip to their form, gave the Gulls' defence a very anxious time, and after some good pass- ing, Smedley drove in and scored, the best goal of the match. From now to the end there was onily one team in it, and corner after corner was given awav by the Bay defenders. These were well placed by Difk Humphreys, but Halilr wood was on the alert, and saved in grand style. Towards the end the Gulls crowded round their goal to try and keep the score down, but W. O. H. and Di Caries were too tricky for them, and after tricking several opponents, W. O. H. put out to Di who ran in, and scored the tenth and last goal of the match. Time was called with the Puffins pressing. Final Beaumaris, 10 Colwyn Bay, 1. COMMENTS. That the Puffins deserved to win by such a margin no one will deny. They played through- out the game as though with great determina- tiolll, and deserved all the goals they got, and but for Halihmod's clever display in goal the ..score would have been stijil greater. The players who did best for Colrwyn Bay were Hallwood and Booth, the latter having to leave the field shortly before the interval. Griffiths, at half- back, was by far the best of the defence, and Moss Jones and T. LI. Owen at forward. For the Beaumaris team it would be a diffi- cult task to. single them out. They all played up to the form. Richards, in goal, was never troubled. The backs played a fine game, and kicked well, but the display of the half-backs took the eye of every one; they gave the visit- ing forwards no. chance to settle down, and they fed their forwards with great judgment. The forwards all showed up well, and Di Davies, of course, scored seven of the ten goals, but no, less credit goes to the others, who all helped, and especially the left wing; but it was the dash and go-ahead style of W. O. Humphreys that brought about most of the goals. It was, as every one will see, a rather one-sided game, but the visitors took their heavy defeat in a most sportsmanlike manner.

Football Chips. (BY "VIGILANT.") That my first words this week shall be those of sympathy with G. H. Jones, of Carnarvon, the United's genial custodian, in the loss of his mother. That poor Tom Albert Davies, Denbigh's splendid centre-half, has aliso. lost a little son on Saturday morning. That I am sure both Jones and Davies, who are great favourites with the public, will receive the sympathy of all in their sad bereavement. That by the time this issue of the Weekly News" is published the 1908-9 season will be over. That at the time of writing the championship of the League was amongst the uncertainties of football. 'That Colwyn Bay.or what players there were at Beaumaris under that n,a,me--received a great gruelling at the Castle Grounds on Saturday- 10-1. That to pile on such a quantity of goals may mean something before the week is out. That my readers must remember I write on Monday, and the fact of the championship will practically be known by Wednesday night.

That I shall be able, I hope, to comment upon 'it, and the doing of the, clubsnext week. That all North Wales Coasters must rejoice in Carnarvon's success at Cblwyn Bay on Saturday, when they secured, for the first tiane, the Welsh Amateur Cup. That the Canaries have made- a bold and gal- lant fight for it. That they fully deserved their victory on Saturday. • That the Canaries hopped about the water and mud, on. the Cbilwym Bay ground, more like Mudlarks wOiUll dthan pretty Canaries. That it appeared on Carnarvon's side that a win was writ on every foot of the United men. That I was very much disappointed with the general display of the Oak Alynftes. That they never appeared to me as if they were going to, win. That nevertheless they are a fine stapping set of fellows, and good sportsmen, too. That they toolk their decisive defeat in a pro- per manner, and sang songs in the streets of Cblwyn Bay ere leaving the town. That the three cheers given them by the Can- aries were deserved. That it was a pity capricious April did not give UlS, better weather—for this occasion. That G. H. Jones, in, goal for the Canaries, had a nasty and very unpleasant post, but he did his work well. 'That Albert Griffiths was a heroic defender. That it is marvellous how he. gets to the ball at times. Little man, big worker. That Evan. Hughes also, fairly came out of his shell on Saturday. That the trio. of halves were great-the never- tired Johnnie Griffiths, the witty Mick Herbert, and the fine worker J. Williams, were all in their very best tip-top form. That the captain.. R. H. Roberts, was, also dangerous, and led up some good assaults on the Alyn goal. That Twm Bach. y,r Offis was Twim all over— cool, daring, and delightfuilily tricky. Twm SIel- dom changes. That Walter Jones had a day out, and gave us the best of Walterian form. That Hughie Roberts and E. R. Jones made an excellent left wing, and both aided the vic- tory in a very practical manner. That I hope Hughie is better by now from the injuries received,, and that he will soon be him- self again. That Johnnie Jones was a spectator of the game. Nice player, Johnny. He was itching to be on the arena. Quite- natural. That R. J. Roberts, captain of the. Oaks, and their custodian, was not in his best form, I am told, on such a treacberoius ground. That he is a good custodian, in the opinion of those who, have seen him. That the Davies's, S. and E., were not so safe 0, my mind, as the Canary backs. That this applies to the halves, Ivor Jones, Emilyn Jones, and James Martin. That the forwards, Oswald Lewis and E. Jones, made a fair right wing. That Morris Rowlands is a good pivot, but errs on the side of being too much ahead, and spoils chances. That Baugh and Green, made up the forward line, which, I have no. doubt, on another occa- sion, would give a good account of themselves. 'That on this occasion the Oaks were quite out- clasised. That Mr Percy Weekes, Chairman of the North Wales Coast League; Mr L. M. Ander- son, Mr R. D. Richards., and several others were spectators of the game. That I noticed Mr Williams, Bryn Tegid, Carnarvon, also there—quite enthusiastic. Na- tural, wasn't it. That the, Canaries took their victory in a nice quiet manner. That Llandudno,'s success in their recent League matches has been very good. That they have not been defeated for a long while. That their latest success was at Conway, on Saturday, when they beat the Conoviums by 3 goals to o, and in the opinion of Conway en- thusiasts, fully deserved their victory. That the luck of football was, ever such that there was hope for the Least popular team on occasions. That Conway, I understand, were, not at full strength, and Llandudno were. That Johnnie- Williams's back play was a fea- ture of the match. 'That Conway executive are to be sympathised with in the loss of a gate for their last match. That the Thnushe9 of Denbigh were not fully represented at Blaenau Festiiniog on Saturday. That the absence of such a splendid and popu- lar player as T. A. Davies makes a good deal of difference in an eleven. That a distinguished Welsh referee told me that he was of opinion that the Denbigh team was the best football—in the true sense of the word—team on the Coast. That many other teams will bear him out. That they are always a force to be keenly recognised..Bravo., sweet Thrushes of the Vale of Clwyd That Bangor's success in the Combination during the last few weeks has been an eye-opener to their colleagues in the Combination. That to draw with Conlnah's Quay was a very meritorious performance at the Quay. Thfc.t Jim Jones, of Conway, is a very success- ful player with the Homers. That as Bangor succeed in. their matches of late, their Coast colleagues, Rhyl. have being doing wretchedly, for instance, Crewe Alexandra trounced them by n goals to. nil. Comment is needless, That I think the majority of North Wales Coast people were glad that Manchester United won the English Cup. That if one is asked- why? it is because Billy Meredith is in the team. That there were a large number of enthusiasts on the Coast that journeyed to London to see the event. That although the margiln was a very narrow one—it sufficed'. That the Cblwyn Bay football season has not been a very successful one. ThXt genial Tommy Wellings has been ill, but it now better. That he spectated the match at Penrhos on Saturday. That several Coast clubs are busy already signing players on,. "That it will be interesting to have a list when they are ready. That Archie Carter, of Llanrwst, is to get a trial with Notts County in August. That Archie has wonderfully developed recent- ly in what may be termed class play. That everyone will wish the little dapper every success That Pwllheli entertained, the Roosters on Saturday, and beat the game old birds by two goals to. nil. That the Roosters have the consolation of the cup. That Pwllheli's first season in, the League has, ün, the whole, been a meritorious one. That T intend making a short review of the clubs after .all the matches have been played. That much, regret is felt in Beaumaris that Sergeant McElwee, the genial and popular sec- retary of the Beaumaris club, is leaving the little" Anglesey town to join his reg-imem,t at Chatham. That the club is losing a good friend and a keen s: port. That Mac will take with him tOo the South of England the best wishes of his many friends, amongst them being ny own,, for Mac was ever a sensible and jolly good fellow, and a soldier in civil, as well as military life. That the old brigade of sports were at Satur- day's match, on. the Beaumaris Castle grounds. That no one need ask in Beaumaris Where am the Boys of the Old Brigade?
