THE ASSOCIATION GAME. 'A GREAT GAME AT PENYDARREN PARK IN WHICH MERTHYR EASILY DISPOSE OF THE BRISTOL ROVERS. fBy "Half-Back. Ideal weather prevailed on Saturday, when Mer- thyr entertained Bristol Rovers Reserves in a Western League match before a large gate. Both teams were at full strength. and served up a pretty game of scientific football for the interested spectators Winning the toss, Merthyr gained the advantage of the wind and sun. but the Rovers at once became aggressive. Their visit, however, was quickly cut short, the homesters retaliating in bril. liant fashion. Savage and Capel worked down, the latter getting in a nice centre, which D. W. Davies netted, giving Merthyr the lead two minutes from the start. The visitors by pretty combination got close into the home goal. where Welton saved at the expense of a corner, which the visitors failed to improve upon. Play was fast, the ground being in perfect condition, each end being visited in turn, but the defence was equal to all demands made on it. Mer- thyr again went away, Fisher shooting just wide of the post. The homesters were having most of the play, and each attack on their rivals' goal was dangerous. A prolonged attack by the homesters found the Bristolians plenty to do. ChurchilJ put- ting in a tremendous shot; which Demery cleverly saved. The visitors' left win broke away, and forc- ed a corner, which Lewis fisted out. and the Mer- thyrians were again on tho move, Taylor crossing the ball over to Savage, who should easily have scored, but he waited too long, and was robbed of an easy chance. < » D. W. Davies was next prominent with a hard drive that brought Demery to his knees, but he was not to be beaten. The Rovers took up the running, exciting play taking place in the home goalmouth, KeJly eventually relieving. The combination of the home forwards was excellent, and the half- backs supported them well. The persistent attacks of the homesters caused an anxious time for the Bristol men, who, on several occasions, had to give orners to save their lino, one of which Taylor drop- ped well into goal. Fisher missing: by inches with a great shot, bo far, the home side had been the better team, their shooting being more accurate than their rivals, who were weak in front of goal. Nothing more was scored, and half-time found Merthyr leading by a goal to niL On the resumption ef play Merthyr went off at a great pace. Tne Rovers were hard pressed, and gave a corner, from which Llewellyn came near low- ering the Bristol colours. The Rovers' mid-field play was pretty, but they were not effective at close quarters. Bedford ar j Walton easily disposing of their attempts. Tho homesters settled down to a nice movement, and were soon at the Rovers' end where an exciting struggle took place, Savage, Caple, and Taylor all getting in some perfect shots, but found Demery all there. Still pressing. the homesters kept their rivals on the go pretty play giving Savage an opening, which he took ad. vantage of, and scored the second goal for Mer- thyr. The Rovers after this livened up consider- ably, their headwork being a feature of the play, but they were never dangerous near goal. Lewis easily cleared their best attempts. There was plenty left in the Rovers yet, and they fought hard to reduce the lead, but could make no im- pression on the home defence. Capel got posses- sion on the centre line, and easily beat the oppos- in halves and backs, but his final effort was w»(Je. Fisher and Taylor executed a pretty run, which looked bad for the visitors, but they man- aged to avert disaster, and tbe whistle sounded time with tbe score standing, Merthyr two goals. Bristol Rovers nil. This was one of the best displays of football seen at the Park, and the spectators thoroughly appre- ciated the exhibition, with a good team against them, the Merthyr men invariably give a good ac- count of themselves, and Saturday was no excep- tion. The game was keenly contested all through, them, the Merthyr men invariably give a good ac- count of themselves, and Saturday was no excep- tion. The game was keenly contested aU through, each team being in need of a few League points if I they are to make a good show at the end of the season. The homesters were the better team, al- ways putting more sting into their attacks, and • shooting well. The weak point of the Rovers was 1 when near aroal, but the clever defence of Bedford I and Walton and the close attention of Kelly and j company gave them few chances of showing their abilities. j SOUTH WALES SENIOR CUP FINAL. ] TON WIN THE CUP FOR THE THIRD TIME, j The final for the South Wales Senior Cup between j Ton Pentre (holders) and Treharris, at Penydarren Park, pn Monday, attracted a big crowd, fully 8,000 people being present. Both teams had pre- viously won the trophy twice, and a close and ex- citing game for the custody of it for the ensuing twelve months was anticipated, the supportelf of j botb sides being confident of the abilities of their respective fhvourites to accomplish the feat. Both teams on entering the arena were given a hearty I reception. j Treharris at once carried play into the Ton half, • where some smart play took place, but danger was averted by Russell, Ton next taking » turn at at- tacking. The defence was sound, however, and after some midfield play "Tagg" Williams passed to the j left wing. Hawkins and Jones working their way t down, the former player missing by inches with a j fine drive. Keeping op the pressure Treharris got well within range, a centre by Barlow causing the Rbondda defence some trouble, off-side eventually relieving. Bradshaw and Reed went off at a nice gallop, Smart and Timmins being busHy engaged in repelling shots. "Tagg" Williams finally clear- ed, and play was transferred to the Ton quarters, j Wallace Jones putting in a daisy-cutter that looked j promising, but Percival saved smartly. Play con- tinued fast, the backs indulging in long kicking, which carried play from end to end, but so far neither side had shown good form, the forwards be- in very ragged. Parry ran through the Treharris defence, and tried a long shot. but Bailiff was not to be beaten with that sort. Ton had slightly the best of exchanges during the first half, but were unable to beat the stout defence of the Treharris boys, half-time arriving without any score. Sensational play opened the second half, Fife get- ting away from the centre, and beating the Trehar- ris defence in clever style. Tho backs, however, stuck well to him, and Timmins put the ball to- wards goal for Bailiff to clear, but his pass was too hard, and after striking the post, the ball glanced into the net giving Ton Pentre the lead within a niinute of the restart. This unexpected reverse did not have an adverse effect on Treharris, who set to work to wipe out the score, but the forwards never shaped like equalising, the vigor- ous defence of the Ton backs disorganising any at- tempt at combination. They kept pegging away, however, and a foul against Curtis resulted in a lively bout near the Ton goal, which produced a fruitless corner. Each goalkeeper was called on to save but the shooting of the forwards generally was disappointing; Abley and Jones, for Trehar- ris, and Fyf. and Curtis, on the Ton side, doing the tot. # The defence on botb sides was brilliant, and easily dealt jvith the scraggy play of the forwards. With a goal in hand the Rhondda men defended stoutly, kicking well into touch when danger approached. Sterling play by Hugh Williams sent the Ton for- wards away, when Fyfe was tripped near the penalty line, the free kick being wildly put over the bar by Russell. Fyfe was injured, and had to retire, but was able to resume later. Treharris failed to make headway against the bustling tactics of the Reds. A corner to either side proved of no advantage, and Treharris played up rather better, gaining another corner, but Tagg Williams fin- ished the raid by shooting wide. Ton were again on the war path, but were unable to increase their score, and when time was called they led by a goal to nil, and retained the cup for the third year in succession. The cup was presented to the winners on the ground by the Mayoress of Merthyr (Mrs. Frank T. James), at the close of the m^tch. « Ton were decidedly lucky to have the winning goal scored for them, as their forwards, like those of the opposing side, never looked like doing the trick. The backs on both sides were very clever, and the halves worked well. The goalkeepers had little to do. and Bailiff was not to blame for the solitary shot that passed him: Aberdare and District Notes. I fBy "Wanderer. Aberdare visited Barry on Saturday, to meet the seasidcrs in a Western League match. It was a game of varying fortunes, and during the first naif it seemed as if the 'Darians were going to give Barry a trouncing, but as the game went on the Barryites improved, and although the result was a draw, if the number of shots peppered in by Barry during the second half were any criteri- on Barry should have won. The match was look- ed forward to with preat interest, especially in view of the fact that. Barry has been going strong lately. For Aberdare, Thomas, the left half, played a fine game and Levi and T. D. Jones were noticeable in the u ards. Ted Vizard was un- doubtedly the be-t forward on the field on Satur- day, and worked magnificently. White being also good. The final score was two goals each. The Aberaman mid-weekers entertained Mountain Ash in a League match at Michael's Field, on Thursday afternoon. In the previous contest the Mountaineers were beaten on their own ground, so that the homesters felt pretty safe. Directly after the kick-off the homesters got away, and pressed. From a splendid manoeuvre in front of Mountain Ash goal, Penry Williams got posses- sion. and scored. Having thus opened the account, the Aberamanites continued making entries into their opponents' citadel, and left the Mountain- eers in a minority of three goals at half-time. The scorer of the second and third goal was C. Silver- thorn. In the second moiety the Aberamanites continued to hold the upper hand, though the visi- tors were handicapped by playing ten men throughout the game. J. H. Jones, the home cap. tain, got through a long shot, which easily pene- trated the Mount defence. Arthur Jones was the next to get his name enrolled on the score sheet, while the final goal for \beraman was scored from a penalty taken by C. Silverthorn. One pretty piece of combination by the Mountain Ash for- wards resulted in a splendid goal being scored. The final result thils was, Aberaman six goals, Mountain Ash one goal. # At Trehafod. on Thursday night, a meeting of the Trehafod Charity Cup Committee was held. The Aberaman Wanderers (who were represented by Messrs. Jack Finn and C. SUverthorn) lodged a protest against the Cwmbacb Crescents for play- ing an unregistered man in th? fourth round of the contest at Aberdare After botb sides had been heard, the committee upheld the protest, and awarded the match to the Wanderers. The latter will therefore, enter the semi-final stage in the contest. and their opponents will be Tonyrefail. The match is to be played on neutral ground, probably at Pontypridd. The leaders of the Glamorgan Ueague. the Aberaman Wsp^rers. journeyed to Pentrebacli on Saturday, and continued their unbroken record of wins. There waz not much to choose betwrsn the teams in the first half, the score at the inter- val beincr one goal e%ch. In the second half tho Aberamanites romped in with no fewer than five goals.

The latter, however, frequently had narrow escapes in front of goal, but Charlie Rees proved himself an ubiq^iion? custodian. While on the run Morgan Morgan, Clii Windsors' left wing, put in a flying shot, which found the net. This was the only poinl; registered up to half-time. The second moiety proved more interesting than the first. From a splendid passing movement the Cwm- bach left wing scored a capital goal, and the game ended a draw of one goal.

In the Wes- tern League Ten Pentre improved their position I by securing a splendid two goals' victory over I Paulton on the latter's own sward. Merthyr Town also added another good win to their credit by j trouncing Bristo! Rovers at home.

In the Secor.J Division the meeting of Troedy- rhiw, last season's League champions, and Pont lottyn eclipsed everything, as a victory for the visitors would have enabled them to make a bold t bid for the championship. Ponty fielded short of Huxtable, their crack forward. Carey filled the gap. Even play marked the opening- movements, but eventually the visitors put in a dangerous at- < tack, which resulted in Carey breaking through, i and giving Maggs no chance to save his final 1 shot. This unexpected turn of events quite sur- j prised Troedyrhiw, who, however, soon pulled themselves together, and shots from Lloyd and j Hearsey nearly equalised the scores. After resum- ing, Troedyrhiw set up a series of warm attacks i on the visitors' citadel, and on a few occasions 1, experienced very hard lines, but time arrived with } Pontlottyn undoubtedly fortunate victors. On the run of the game a division of the points would j have been a fair reflex of how-matters went. Pont- lottyn Droved themselves truly great in defence more especially during the second half, when shot after shot was poured in. Owen, in goal, for a veteran, accomplished a number of good things. I Jim Thomas and Owen Williams, at back, defended in splendid style, while the intermediate trio, Jim i Shields, Hawkins, and Gamage could hardly be Flrproed upon Forward, Stone and Careywere best, For Troedyrhiw, Jeo Williams, at centre-half, was i ihe outstanding player.

Rhymney Valley Rugby league Notes. CBy "the Old V/ig."] Rhymney visited Pontlottyn .'()r.ú too confident of the result last Saturday, and is matters turned out their prognostications proved correct. At the same time had the winners played a clean, bright and sparkling game instead of indulging in the somewhat questionable tactics which generally pre- vailed, it is extremely doubtful if the verdict would have been in their favour. The attendance surpass- ed all previous records for a football game at Pont- lottyn. Both clubs lacked the services of one erood man each, Lewis Davies for Rhymney. and Lewis Thomas for Pontlottyn. The homesters started off in determined fashion, and the visiting backs were soon called upon. After a series of set scrummages, Lewis Lewis, the visiting half, was penalised for off-side tactics, and Sam Jones kicked a good goal. Inspired by this early success, Ponty made several creditable movements, but nothing tangible result- ed. Rhymney. despite their early reverse, were by no means a beaten side, and on several occasions tried to open up the game to advantage. Unfor- tunately, their chances were often nullified owing to the home backs being allowed to stand so close up to the base of the scrnm. Another try soon re- sulted for Ponty, Rob Jones crossing after a good effort. The second half, although keenly contested, proved quite barren of scoring. The visitors terri- torially were undoubtedly superior during this stage, but they received a ternble mauling during the second half, and Sam Vincent Jones was car- ried away unconscious, while Ike Howells, J Hen- nessey, Cross, and Parry also suffered considerably. As migrht be supposed, the exhibition from a spec- tators point of view did not thrill. The game throughout was too scrappy, while there was too much feeling introduced into the play by certain players to enable a good exhibition of the code to be witnessed. For Ponty, Tom Davies. at full-back, defended gallantly. Rob Jones and Sam of that ilk did well at three-quarter Forward, Mark Phil- rc lips, Clifford and Llewellyn were most in evidence. For Rhymney, 11 Benjamin. Parry, and Beddoe were most conspicuous among the rear division. Forward, S. V. Jones, Hennessey, Jenks, and Cross worked hard to stem defeat. Aberbargoed and Machen met at the former Aberbargoed and Machen met at the former place. Eddie Walters was early conspicuous with a fine run, but he failed to break through.

The visitors, with the ele- plants in their favour, opened strongly, and some i ioose play by the home backs soon enabled Turner to score. This reverse steadied Blaina considerably, who afterwards gave an improved display, and ere long the equaliser arrived.

Continuing to attack, Blaina appeared to be all over the visitors, but Reddiford (their custodian) cleared in splendid fashion time after time. Stone next made a nice opening, which culminated in Noble adding a fourth goal. The score fully represents Blaina's superiority'. NORTHERN UNION LEAGUE TABLE- NORTHERN UNION LEAGUE TABLE. For Agst.

Shortening the Route to Shakespeare's Country. This year will see the opening of anotber link by the Great Western Railway Company, name- ly that between Ashendon and Aynho, which will very materially shorten the journey be- tween London and the Midland and Northern Counties. The last rail of the new line was laid a few days ago, and the route was opened for goods traffic on Monday, April 4th. The present proposal is to commence the express and local passenger train services in July next. It is remarkable, in view of the many bonefitsi that will accrue, that the length of the new portion of line is less than 20 miles. The tract of country opened, up—as yet little known- abounds in beautiful scenery and rich land- scape, and will appeal equally for residential sjjd holidav purposes. Special mention should bo made of Brill, situated on an eminenoe of 600 feet, and Bicester, the centre of a hunting district. A feature of the new route is the easier and direct access to all parts of Shake- J speare's country, including such famous places at Stratford-on-Avon, Leamington, W&rwiok gf Arita* J

Jones, of 38, Bryn Street, Twynyrodyn, Merthyr. m There was a severe pain right in the | small of my back, and after stooping I J found great difficulty in raising myself. I could not get proper sleep at night, and I' consequently I was always tired and I languid in the morning. 1 Reading of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I got a box of them to see if they would do me good. They soon removed V the trouble, and in a few days I was able 1 to stoop with ease, and do my house- 1 work without backache.
