BANGOR v. CREWE ALEXANDRA RESERVES. ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR THE CITIZENS. Crewe Alexandra Reserves constituted the attraction at Bangor on Saturday, and a large crowd witnessed the game, which was fought in weather conditions typical of midsummer. There was a scorching son, which soon had ite effect on tihe players. The Bangor committee dropped Harry Jones (Chester) and re-intro- duced R. Jones, their old pivot, into the team. Pughe also had a holiday, and D. T. Davies found a place in the half-back line, from which J. Arridge was a notable absentee.- The teams lined up as follows: — Bangor: D. James Williams, goal; R. Ro- berts and Hwfa Williams, full backs; Joe Wil- liams, D. T. Davies, and' Alf. Thomas, half- backs; Hughie Owen, Bradffhaw, Richard Jones, H- Davies, and Oliver, forwards. Crewe Alexandra Reserves: Churchill, goal; Heneall and Davies, backs; Rcss, Hawkins, and Clarke, half-backs; Kempton, llorton, A. Hen- sail, Roberts, and Walley, forwards. Referee: Mr Browne J,nes, Rhyl. ?* 'toris looked like making an E&r The v 61 1 ly iin- the teft wijig bein,?,- very busy. But 9:-ill,Ligor defend?-?rei wero not to be caught napping, and for a while the homesters more than held their own, and the spectators were" pleased with pretty overhead kicking by Hughie Owen and Bradshaw, Churchill saving a stinger from the former. Probably owing to the sweltering heat tie players were taking matters pretty easily, but gradually the visitors got going, and Walley darted past one of the home full backs, who, however, chased him, and spoilt his final Bhot- Bangor now did a bit of pressing and Rrad&haw almost broke through, and everything look-etil rosy until Davics got on his tracks, but tin Crewe player was injured, and the game was suspended for a few minutes until he came round again. The visiters showed great per- sistency, but the home defenders continually foiled them at the critical moinent, and during one of their raids D. T. Davies cleverly back- healed the ball when in a ruck of players, but the referee awarded a foul against him. The visiting forwarute- were being knocked about by the home backs, who really worked hard to 'he,*r oal. Th,, shooting o?f the CreNv4& save t. forwards left a good dea.l to be desired, and on one occasion Kempton almost struck an adjoin- ing church when aiming for goal- For a while the play was well distributed, but at length Oliver dashed down the wing at a great pace, e,n,d, tihis raised the hopes of the spectators, but Hensail trapped one of his passes. The first decent attempt at lowering the Bangor colours was made by Clarke. Though a minute after- wards Hensail nearly headed through from a cornier kick. The visitors now forced play, and Roberts almost scored. At the other end Brad- shaw certainly should have found the net, but was robbed when toddling with the ball. Half-time: Bangor nil, Crewe nil. After a rather lengthy interval, Bangor Bt-rained every nerve to score, and Oliver misi- ed the billet by inches only. Forgetting for the moment the existence of, the new r-Li ,e t',lo point the referee awarded a free kick against one of the -visiting forwards for being offside in his own half. The visitors were now making rings around the

CREWE SCORE. home lot, and it was only the fine work of Ro- berts and Hwfa that prevented them from moorirv. Quite unexpectedly Roberts opened the score for Crewe, this being the direct re- sult of the home centre forward' being dispos- sessed. Not content with that success, the visitors again swooped down upon the Bangor g_? a__ .ain. and Wallev was in a dangerous position when Bob Roberts checked hitn.

,TRANMERE ROVERS v. CONNAHIS QUAY. Thjs match^ was played at Prenton on Satur- day, Connah's Quay commenced uphill. The Rovers played Ingram in goal vice Ivor Mor- gan. who had not put in an appearance- The visitors' forwards combined splendidly and the home custodian had' early to fist out from a corner. Franklin afterwards forced a corner off Lloyd, and as a result the latter saved fine- ly from Fishwick. Butler then put in a smart run and shot, the ball curling just outside the far upright. Butler again progressed nicely c and in a botit ivith P 'nn the latter handled in- side the area. Muir's attempt to convert proved unsuccessful, Lloyd cleverly tipping the ball over the bar. A fine shot from Jones Struck the upright. Half-time arrived without any scoring. Final result: Tranmere Rovers 1, Connah's Quay 0. .I:> c_

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. FIRST DIVISION. I" North Wales Chronicle Challenge CUD.) LLANDUDNO AMATEURS v. CON- WAY. EXCITING INCIDENTS. A WIN FOR THE AMATEUR*. (By "Linesman."). The Llandudno Amateurs played their first League fixture, on Saturday, when they met Conway, on the latter\s ground. The game fully justified all expectations, and was fun of exciting incidents from start to finish. Mr F. Beech, ot Rhyl, who acted as referee, lined the teams up in the following -order:- Conway.—Hughie Hughes, goal; Tom Jones a.nd O. Ellis, full backs; Shem Jones, W. H. Jones, and Evan Owen, half backs-; L. H. Ro- berte, T. Atherton, H. Parry, George Breeze, and W. Thomas, forwards. Llandudno Aniatcurs.-Hobton, goa!; J. H. Jones and H. Pearson, full backs; Jacob Wil- liams, George Davies, and Will Owen, half backs, Jack Williams, Brookee-Evane, J. E. Williams, Frank Roberts, and Will Stone, for- I wards. The Amateurs started in fine style, and in the opening stages of the game severely tested the home defence. For some time the visitors kept up the pressure, and owing to some mis- understanding, Shem Jones placed the ball in his own net. From the centre. Snem ran down to the visi- tors' goal, as if determined to wipe off his pre- vious mistake. J. II. Jones, the visiting left full back, however, was ready, and managed to ward off the danger. The homesters now pressed vigorously, and they drove the leather nearer and nearer to the visiting goal; but the Amateurs did not allow them to have all their own way, and although the homesters were in possession of the leather, none of them could get a favourable opportunity for shooting. The chance came at last, however, and Atherton with a swift, low shot, beat Hobson, thus equalising. The "Blues" were now forced to defend, for the Amateurs came on in a very businesslike manner; but matters did not remain on an equal footing for long. The visitors kept attacking the home citadel. Hughes was not at al Itzafc between the sticks, and a partial save let in Johnny Williams, who made no mistake, send- ing the leather into the net amid the cheers of the visiting spectators. The Amateurs .seemed determined to keep their lead, and the "Blues" were equally determined to equalise, and thus some exciting and not al- together "gentle" play ensued. The Amateurs attacked, but were brought up for offside. Johnny Williams, the dashing skipper of the visitors, then gained possession, and treated the spectators to a nice sprint down the field. How- ever, he was fouled by Ellis, and the visitors were awarded a free kick. The ball was placed nicely, but Johnny was offside, and the leather again travelled towards the v' ito-s,' citadel. Some exciting play ensued before the Llandud- no goal, the homesters, however, failing to "do the trick." JOHNNY IN FORM* Again the visitors returned to the attack, and Johnny Williams had extremely hard lines, his shot hitting the crossbar. Jack Williams, the visiting outside right caught the rebound, but his shot went wide of the mark. Another at- tack by the visitors followed, but it was checked by Shem Jones. The remainder of the first half was devoid of exciting incidents, and half time arrived with the soore standing:— Llandudno, 2 goals; Conway, one. The second half opened with an attack by the "Blues." L. H. Roberts, the Conway skipper, having gained possession, sprinted down on the right in fine style. He passed to Shem Jones, who, in turn, sent the leather to Hugh Parry, who ,?ent the ball wezz'. ng put the visiting cu.slouian, thus, once more, making matters equal. Elated by this success, the Conway left wing then commenced a movement, which, for a moment, looked dangerous, but which was nullified by Breeze sending the ball too far. Again the "Blues" attacked, but Will Owen checked the rush by fouling L. H. Roberts, and Tom Jones taking the free kick, sent the home- sters on again, J. H. Jones being forced to kick out. L. H. Roberta again potted for goal, but Hobson was on the alert, and fisted out, thus averting the danger. Tho "Blues" were again threatening the visitors' citadel, when Jacob Williams stopped Breese. The leather was now in the Conway half, ana J. H. Jones steadied himself for a shot, ana mis-kicked badly. The miss would have cost the visitors dearly had not Pearson been on the spot to make good the mistake by kicking out. The "Blues'' now returned to the attack, and the visiting defence were forced to kick out to save their citadel. The visitors replied wiu. an at-tack on the home goal. Tom Jones at this junoture handled the ball, and Frank Robert;, taking the free kick, shot over the croenb.'i Play was once more transferred to the other end, but Johnny Williams getting away on his own, got down to the home goal, and passed to Brcokes-Evans, who was, however, offside. The visitors were now doing most of the press- ing, and the home defence were having a warm time of it. Tom Jones again handled, the free kick giving Johnny Williams an opportunity, which he was quick to seize, but Hughes was equal to the occasion, and brought off a nice eave. VISITORS AGAIN SCORE. The visitors, however, again attacked with re- newed vigour, and Brookes-Evans receiving a pass from J. H. Jones, scored another goal for the visitors, thus giving them the lead once more. The Amateurs were not finished yet, however, and once more the leather was sen in an unpleasantly short, distance from the heme goal. ELLis now put in a bit of very smart de- fensive work. Frank Roberts, a moment later, shot in. against the side of the net. The home- &ters were now playing almost entirely on the defensive, and the Amateurs were. showing a fine combination in their attacks. Johnny Wil- liams put on the fourth goal. The homesters now grew desperate, and at,taeked the visiting citadel strongly. The Amateurs were now on the defensive, for a sudden change had come over the whole aspect of the game. At length, their efforts were rewarded, for L. H. Roberts, after a good display of footwork, obtained a good opportunity for scoring, which he was not slow to take, and before the custodian had fully realised the situation, the ball was in the net. Eight more minutes to play, and the visitors still leading by one goal. The galla-nt little "Blues" did their best, but it was in vain, for the visitors maintained their lead. Tom Jones tested Hobson wuh .a (scorcher, which he had some difficulty in clearing, but W- hon .as catching the rebound, shot wide. The Ama- teurs made themselves extremely unpopular with the spectators by adopting the tactics of kicking out, which have been associated with Ban- gor. J. H. Jones was once forced to concede a corner, and L. H. potted for goal, but missed. The homesters were pressing when time arrived, and ten minutes more play would probably have seen matters equal. The final scores were:- Llandudno Amateurs, four goal-; Conway, three.

LLANRWST v. COLWYN BAY. "ROOSTERS" CLAIM TWO POINTS. BAD SHOOTING BY THE" REDS." 'Neath a sun which was more characteristic of cricket than "soccer" football, the above teams met in the first of their League encoun- ters on the Gwydyr Park, Llianrwst, on Satur- day. There was a gcodl number of spectators pre- sent when the players took the field- The re- gular colours of both eleven^ being red, the homesters on this occasion turned out in white. Both elevens were strongly represented, and as was anticipated a good game resulted. That the result was far from consistent with u.e pre- dictions, there is no denying, and the wretched shooting of the "Reds" must .,3. vo caused the supporters, who had1 journeyed with them, many misgivings. Promptly at 3.30, the referee marshalled his play are tog-ether as follow:- Colwyn Hay: C. II all wood; W. Jcmoes and 0. E. Williams; W. Parry, T. Wellings, and R. Rowlands; Moss Jones, \V. T. Jones, McCann (capt.), Stan. Hughes, and J. Ll. Owen. Llami-wst: Finchctt; J. R. Jo>o- and W. T. Jones; Gren. Jones, Di Tnomas, and F. Wil- liams N. Jones, Kenrick Ellas, A. Carter, G.

A pr?ity bit C,,f L head work by J. LJ. Owen deserved a different result, the bail just passing over the bar. The Roosters then visited the visitois' goal, Ilall- wood experiencing some exciting moments, but to his relief Di Thomas eventually shot wide. s -,trO c,,tcirJ Flji.Luiett iuglws aft,-?rNi ,s t with a splendid shot whieh the keeper saved miraculously. In spite of several spirited' st- tacks by the home forwa,rde, of whom OhB- holme was tho most prominent, the defence presented 0. E. Williams, Rowlands, and Well- ings stood the test .well. Ilallwood proved his mettle by sa.vi.rog a difficult cross ehot from Elias, who was in good pesition. From a corner by Llanrwst-, Ned Griffiths made a very weak attempt to convert. Again and again Ned Griffiths was dis-possessed' when favourably situated. Grenville Jones hereabouts was play- ing an excellent defensive game for Llanrwst. Then, came the first goal for LLam'vvst, Elias, who was standing well in the goal iiicudi, when The kicked, gave Hallvvood no chance with a fast. hard shct- Immediately afterwards, from a contre by J. LI. Owen, Moss just missed by inches. Then Carter, after driouling clear of all the strong defence of the Bay, was beauti- fully robbed by Hallwood on the oa I line. The LLanrwst goal was soon afterwarols vk-ited, and Tommy McCaain, from a good range, was iust a few inches, off the mark. A long pot by W- Parry rebounded frcan Finehett's knees on to McCanil's foot, but in his excitement, Tom shot wide. In less than half a minute, the Bay's defence was pierced by Archie Car- ter, who had been playing a dashing game for some time. The 6hots wiiioh Finchett had to deaJ with throughout the first naif were long pots, so that "Joey" could do nothin.g less than pick them up and punt them out of danger. Half-time: Llanrwst 2, Colwyn Bay 0. A Caiter, when ho had' dribbled clear, was beautifully tackled by "0. E." when in a good position, to add a third goal for his side. W. J/oncs, tihtlC'ugh sorrta nnsundbrstanding, con- ceded a oorner, which Ned Griffiths placed be- hind. A Carter and his lightning pots were again conspicuous, but they fell wide of the mark invariably. From a foul the Bayites ob- tained' a corner, which was nicely placed by Mess, but cleared by Francis Willian:6- Two splendid successive shots by J. LI. Owen were 9aved in masterly fashion by Finchett, who had hardly any time to recover himself after deal- ing with the first before the second waG sent in. At this point, the Bayites were having the better of the play. In fact, they did every- thiing but score, whereaa the exceilent shooting of Di Thomas proved a source of trcublo to Hall wood on several occasions. Another beau. tiful centre by J. L!. Owen was headed over the bar by McCann, who, however, was not to be blamed aw it was difficult to direct with the head a ball travelling so speedily. Final soore: Llajnrwst 2, Co'liwyn Bav 0.

BEAUMARIS v. RHYL RESEKV £ ÂNOTHER SUCCESS FOR THE MONITES. A very enjoyable and spirited game was wit- nessed between these teams on Saturday, on the Castle Ground, Beaumaris. The players took up their positions as follows:— Beaumaris:—0. R. Jones, goal; G. Williams and W. Edwards, backs; W. Rowlands, 0. Owen, and E. Pritchard, half-backs; R. Humphreys, E. Bellwood, W. O. Humphreys, W. Morgan Jones, and E. Poole, forwards. Rhyl,R. J. Jones, goal; A. Barnett and R. Hughes, backs; W. J. Hughes, J. W. Ellis, and W. E. Buckley, half-backs; R. Hughes, T. Cotton, E. E Hughes, E. Roberts, and J. Bc-nnett, forwards. From the start Rhyl became aggressive, whilst Beaumaris wis rather nervous. This became accentuated when, a few minutes after play com- menced Jack Hughes bagged a goal for Rhyl. It was a good shot; and 0. R. made a gallant but abortive attempt to clear, springing across the goal and fisting out, but the ball had just crossed the hno. From the centre Beaumaris' left- wing worked the ba'l up into the visitors' territory, but W. J. Hughes kicked out of play, and so relieved the pressure. The visitors then had a sprint, which, however, did not terminate in their favour. Returning to the attack, the homesters tested R. J. Jones, who ran out and cleared For some time the Beaus., who were now thoroughly aroused, and played with spirited combination, hemmed in their opponents, and nothing but tho excellent defence of the Re- serves saved the situation. A foul against the home team gave an opening, and with a swoop the visiting forwards rushed down on O. R. Jones' charge, but he very neatly fisted the ball from the toe of one of his adversaries. W. O. Humphreys then tried a run the whole length on his own, but the ball was worked out. Later, in partnership with Morgan Jones, W. 0. gave a brilliant exhibition of his cleverness, and cen- tred beautifully, Morgan Jones, trapping the ball at the proper angle, beat R. J. Jones all ends up. The ensuing play was of a most exciting character, every player exerting himself with a stronuousity that was delightful to watch. After the sphere had been centred T. Cotton got away, but his attack was repulsed. Beaumaris retalia- ted, and Poole sent in a stinging shot, R. J. Jones clearing with rare activity. Play was resumed in the home half, the Re- serves struggling hard for the winning goal. Edwards got the ball away, and W. O. Hum- phreys had a pot at goal, but it landed on the wrong side of the post, Rhyl's right wing ran down and forced a corner, but the shot went behind, and so the opportunity was lost. At this stage of the game the visitors had a good deal of their own way, but failed to augment the score. O. R. Jones, in saving, hugged the ball, and was fouled, but the visitors returned to the fLt- tack an 1 forced two corrers. The home for- words eventually got away, but the movement was spoiled through Humphreys heading over. E. E. Hughes then treated the spectators to a fine dioplav of dribbling, but was neatly robbed. J Bennett. put in a teaser, and W. E. Buckley had hard lines with a shot which hit the cross- bar. Bellwood and Poole tried a dual run, but J WT. Ellis cleared, and play was resumed in tho home goal. The Reserves forced a corner, O. R. Jones being tested with a difficult shot which he negotiated successfully. Play then re- verted to the visitors' end, but Barnett returned to R. Hughes. who, after a brave attempt, came to grief. R. Humphreys, after a good run, sent in a shot that required a bit of handling, but R. J. got it away. Morgan Jones was not long before he was again conspicuous in brilharft manoeuvring through the ranks of his opponents, but, he was at a los in shooting. From a centre by J. Barnett, E. E. Hughes beat Yv'iiam?, but Edwards saved the situation shortly afterward?. E. E. Hughes again broke throunrh, and looked like scoring, but tho home custodian wns in the wav. Beaumaris then assumed the offensive. and a fine display of combination on the nart of their forwards was broken up by R. Hughes, the visitors' left full back. When the signal fcr breathing space arrived the score stood at 1-1. FINE DING-DONG PLAY. On the resumption of play the homesters im- mediately became aggressive, and the Reserves' custodian was not long before he had another opportunity of showing his quality, a shot from Humphreys severely testing him, but he cleared by throwing himself full length. Beaumaris still continued to press, and the Re- serves' defence had a lively tims, but proved in- vulnerable. R. Humphreys placed a fane centre to Morgan Jones, who was, however, balked. Then followed a hard try oil the part of Poole, who forced a corner, from which the visitors broke away, and tried a shot. The custodian cleared, and Humphreys receiving the ball made a run, but meeting with an accident failed to convert. After an exhibition of hard but fruit- less play came the tit-bit of the game, Morgan Jones and W. 0 Humphreys threading their way by sheer brilliancy of play through their op- ponents' lines. Humphreys received the ball from his partner, and scored with a shot which R. J. Jon s had no earthly chance of stopping, to the accompaniment of a hearty cheer from the spectators. Rhyl decided to die game, and from the centre they came down on the opposing goal in a most determined manner. R. Hughes receiving the ball, steadied himself, and sent in a well judged shot, but could not beat the custodian, and despite heroic efforts on the part of the visitors they were destined to go away defeated. Rhyl must own that Beaumaris thoroughly deserved their win of 2 goals to 1. Although they were perhaps not quite so evenly balanced as the Rhyl- ites, they played with great dash, and on the whole displayed excellent combination. The forwards knew how to take advantage of an opening, and the defence was thoroughly sound and reliable. As for the Rhyl team one cannot do better than quote an enthusiastic supporter of Beaumaris who said, "The Reserves are a well- balanced team; there isn't a shaken player amongst them."

CARNARVON v. BLAENAU FESTINIOG. THE QUARRYMEN TROUNCED. Carnarvon 1 aving done so well this season, a goodly crowd turned out to witness their en- c-runtjr with Blaenau Festiniog on Saturday at Carnarvon. Both teams were representative, they being under the control of Mr John Ro- berts, Bangor. Carnarvon won the toss, and Blaenau Fes- tinioc kicked off facirg the town. The visitors started in determined fashion, their outside right dropping some beauties in the goalmouth. A run by Carii- fo?ll,,wed, but the visiting left full "rvoll kept theiii, at bay. The visitors again attacked, their outside shooting well, G. H. Jones having to save at the expense of a corner. Nothing resulted from it. Carnarvon now woke up, and began to hem the visitors in goal. A tricky shot by Tom Roberts nearly served its purpose. Midfield play followed, Willie Hughes sending in some fine drives. Play now stopped, owing to Herbert being winded. The homesters fouled, and the visitors looked like scoring, but G. H. Jones came to the rescue, and changed the situation. Carnarvon forced a corner, and Tom Roberts tried well with a header.- Carnarvon again fouled, and with this kick down came Blaenau Festiniog with a rush, Herbert saving well by kicking out of play. Tho most prominent players up to now were Tom Roberts, Johnnie Griffiths, and the visitors' left full. A skirmish in front of the visitors' goal, resulting from a rush, gave Tom Roberts his chance, and he did his work well, shooting well beyond the custodian's reach, into the corner of the net.. Blaenau Festiniog fouled, and a good ohance was missed by W. Jones handling in the visitors' goalmouth. Carnarvon again rushed, and from a pass from W. Jones, Hughie sent the ball banging across the upright, and lodging it in the net. Half-time: Carnarvon, 2; Blaenau Festiniog, nil. On resuming play, Blaenau Festiniog looked dangerous on the left and centre, but J. Grif- fiths and Willie Hughes were too-much for them. Carnarvon now took up the aggressive, and from a well-placed shot from Johnnie Jones, Tom Ro- berts headed in. Carnarvon now had the upper hand, the Festiniog men having their work cut to defend their own goal. A considerable amount of kicking out of pl&y took place with midfield play. Carnarvon forced a corner, and the custodian fisted out, but by unlucky chance one of the Festiniog men was in its path, and the ball bounded into the net, Carnarvon again pressed. Walter Jones drove in a fine high shot, and Robert Hugh, springing as it were from nowhere, caught it on the re- bound, and scored. Blaenau Festiniog now at- tacked, and from the Carnarvon penalty area Walter Jones dashed down the field, with the left full in pursuit, dribbling all before him, and safely netted the ball. giving the custodian no chance. Carnarvon again forced a corner, and Tom Roberts, without any hesitation, obliged. After this Blaenau Festiniog hardly came beyond midfield. Tom Roberts again tried with a'beauf,- and 1-Ti,,h Roberts narro-?vly 'lounding on the (-,rog,- missed scoring: the bal] bar. Cartar-,7on again pressed, and from tk swift ground shot. fr'op.,i R.

HOLYHEAD v. DENBIGH. THE Oil A MP IONS IN FINE FORM. (By "Cybi.") Holyhead opened their League fixtures on Saturday with an encounter against Denbigh, who came down with such a reputation that caused anxiety to some of the supporters of the club. Secretary Weekee appeared quite nervous as he superintended the garnering of the shekels by the gate and until I saw the beaming features of burly Tom, I felt quite down-hearted in sympathy. It was late when Referee J. Pentraeth Jones, Bangor, arrived in the field, and it was still later when the Den- bigh men jumped over the ropes. The teams were as follows:— Holyhead: Goal, Collier; full backs, Conlan (captain) and Parry; half-backs, laylor, W. T. Jones and R. Ellis; forwards, H. Roberts, Vaughan, J. Rowlands, J. Jones, and H. Brown. Denbigh: Goal, Sam Griffith; full backs, L. Evans and R. T. Williams (capt.); half-backs, D. J. Williams, Edgar, and T. Davies; forwards, D. Morris Evans, Macreath, R. W. Jones, Haynes, and Randell. Denbigh, having won the toss, faced the rail- way, but owing t,o the cloudy afternoon Holy- head were not inconvenienced to any great ex- tent by the sun which they faced. Denbigh r,t4artc,d stroii-iy, and eho,,ve4d t-Oyr.-O pretty co?ni- b?nktt' WI?la W. T. Jones pr<)mptl v and i(lil? w g ad- I.til-leEsl broke up. The home left in vanced, J. Jones sending in a beauty from the exterme left. Luth attempted to stop the ball's career, but mickicked, but Griffith saved the situation. The visitors made another spurt which fizzled out in front of Con.an, who swung the ball to the right, Roberts raced up the field and centred accurately, but Ellis shot a wide. The game was now ot a fast and furious character, which beg-aii to tell on the inland men, Taylor breaking up a dangerous move. Johnny Jones, receiving the pass, dashed up the field like a hare, and centred to Row- lands, who. plumped the leather into Griffiths arms. A melee followed, J. Jones nearly realising. The custodian kicked out, Rowlands headed to Yaughan, who sent in a hot shot against tho upright. Little Wallace in a few seconds again tested Griffith. Midfield play eneued, Hugh Roberts gaining possession cen- tred to J. Jones, who slammed the cross-bar. A scrimmage followed, Vaughan kicking against the upright. H. Roberts, after successfully negotiating a tackling movement by the Den- bigh skipper, centred to John Jones, who easily converted, the goal being signalised by a tremendous outburst of applause.

Brown, the latter placed it carefully in the net amid wild enthusiasm. I saw saw Secretary Weekes just then, and observed that the anxious look had disappeared, and he beemed with delight. At last, from a, throw, Randall tested Collier, who fisted out. R, W. Jones, receiving, shot for too high. In a few minutes the centre forward had another try, but Collier easily cleared. Johnny Jones again became oonspicuous, and '?er a. fine run tegite(I Griffith. i H. RobQrts a receiving, centred to Rowlands, who crashed the leather into the net with such force that the upright rocked. A centre from Johnny Jones to "W. T." was sent over by the centre- half. Denbigh was at this period in great trouble, and Griffith was oalled upon to clear scorchers from Roberts and J. Jones, while Rowlands, Vaughan and Brown also had a go. At half-time the homesters led by 3 to 0. The game having re-started H. Brown judi- ciously fed by Rowlands sent in a beauty from the left which gave Griffith no chance. This success appeared to nettle the Denbigh men, who commenced to play a rough and undent lo- rr. I ny game, and this caused some irritation amongst the crowd, who called upon the visitors to play "the ga.me." After a short rehearsal in midfield the homesters advanced. H.

Conian, amid laughter, made a. solo run ail along the field and finished up by skimming the upright. A collision be- tween Roberts and Edgar resulted in the latter being uncercmoniousfy grassed. He immediate- ly rose, and there seemed to be trouble in the air, but Referee Jones put his hand on Edgar's shou.der, and spoke to him seriously.

Denbigh's rough p_lay made a bad impression upon the crowd, Evans especially being etrongly condemned. H. Roberts galloping along the right sent in an aocurate centre. Little Johnny Jones pounced upon the leather and scored the sixth point. r rom this period to the end, a matter of about seven minutes, the homesters absolutely bom- barded Griffith's goal, and when the whistle went the score stood as follows :— Holyhead, 6; Denbigh, 0.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By "Criticus."). BANGOR AND DISTRICT. Two home games, no points, is the record of the Bangor Combination Team up to the present stage of the season. For last Saturday's match against Crewo Alexandra, the Bangor team was re-modelled, but it was no use, and the only solatium is found in the fact that the adverse score was limited to one; but that one goal made a difference of two points. Harry Jones and Pughe were dropped, and D. T. Davies took up his accustomed place in 'C. tiie haf-baek line, aii(,t Di k Joner, was brought in, figuring in his old place as centre forward. As some time has eiapsed since Dick last par- ticipated in a game, this certainly was a daring experiment, which was not justified by the re- sults. • » » Directly the ball was set in motion, it was patent that Bangor had a tough job before them. The railway men did not indulge in the North Wales Coast League mad rushes; they went about their work quietly, but with a good deal of determination, and but for the enthusi- astic work of the two Bangor backs, the home citadcl would have quickly fallen. .'t # » Indeed, half-an-hour of the game had gone before Roberts found the net, sending the ball through D. J. Williams' legs into the rigging. Now and again the Bangor forwards got go- ing, and Oliver would provoke some enthusiasm by sprinting at top speed down the wing, only to finish up weakly. The whole of the efforts of the Bangor forwards before the goal mouth were of a very miik and water type, and the visiting custodian found his post a sinecure. » < < At the interval, the visitors, were a goal to the good. The second half was simply a re- plica of the first; the Crewe men were all over the homesters', and it was only the indefatig- able work of the full backs and the halves that prevented the adverse score from reaching a high figure. I* » ». < The only players in the Bangor team worthy of mention were Bob Roberts, Hwfa. Williams, and D. T. Davies. This trio did buck into it, and Joe Williams a'so worked very hard in- deed in a new position. Alf Thomas dribbled t(?'o much. The forward war, a f.-t*lure, and ?yomo (Ira,t c clia.tige be Pffecte'd in th lt3 (i,epai-ini<iit if Ban ill _got- a,?,e to keep away from the bottom of t.he table. Hughie Owen tried hard, but he was given no quarter by the stal- wart visiting defenders.

HOLYHEAD. In the League match on Saturday Denbigh did net appear to relish the idea that Holyhead were far too strong for them, and I congratu- late the Swifts' team for not utilising their superior strength and weight to crush them. As it was Referee Pentraeth Jones had to caution Edgar. Referee Jones acted very fairly throughout, and there is evidently a better feeling between the CMhedral city and the port this season, a feeling that should be cultivated to the advantage of both and of the game. # As for the game the Denbigh men showed up well during the first five minutes, which caused tho Ho-lyhead supporters to look serious, but the Swifts soon got into their stride, and amply proved that the champions arc still as strong a combination as they ever were, and from that period until the end, the game was most onesided, the 6 to 0 result being an unfair criterion of the game, as the score should have been considerably enhanced. » « ol-l'ec ive J,Dhlllly J '4ga-iii proved his- 6uperlat* merits, and was the doyen of the game, but I should like to see you, Johnny, feed the centre a little more and t,he wings a little less, but still you are a marvellous little bit of humanity. Vaughan, the new in's ide right, amply justified his selpotion ari.(l iitrodiie?-,d aii impr<)ved t;3,s- (I C'O "I t, -M f Lir?.%tion into tli4c forward r,%iik. I was pleased that he celebrated his appearance by scoring a goal. Rowlands worked like a nigger, and did well, but would have done better 'still if his wings had fed him better. Jack takes íoo-tball serious- ly, and always doe ft his "level best" to soore. 1+ H. Brown sent in some beautiful shots, some of which got past Griffiths, but again he made a few shots very wide of the mark. It is a pity Hughie s- leg js not to be trusted. Hugh Roberts continues to improve, and played a great game, his centres being clean and accurate. Ho has also perfected himself as a "dodger." and it requires a c ever back to stop our Hughie's dash. Dick Ellis as usual was. in fine fettle, the sturdy- little ma.n I believe, is the finest tackier in the League, and Bangor committed a serious mistake to allow such a "diamond" to (ii- Ift into Holyhcad. Taylor worked hard and con- "Icl:e 'cii, ItF ..W. I, nt'ly, and was ab',v te(I by whoso long legs continually foiled the Denbigh forwards. Conlan and Parry were as safe as rocks, while Collier had very little to do, but what he had to do he did it thoroughly. Of the Denbigh forward line, R. W. Jones was the most dangerous,, a.nd it wad most un- for-tunate that he met with an accident at tho .t,n,(i of ga-nie. D- M. Evans scarce y played parlour football, and should drop tactics which cannot be tolerated in the League. The same remark applies to Edgar. The other men also did their best, but after Holyhead had scored their second goal the Denbigh men collapsed, and were badly trounced by 6 goals to none.

COLWYN BAY SPARKS. The Bayites were badly beaten at Llanrwst-. This was entirely due to the wretched shooting oi the forwards. • • » ■ The forwards continually "shot the moon." Under Rugby rules they would have gained a handsome viotory. » » » » Not one of the five did himself justice. They had the lion's share of three (juartere of the game, and their play 111 midfield was per- fect, but once in front of goal their exposition was unusually weak. » » • « I Hallwood, with a little more exertion, could possibly have isaved the second goal. » "Charlie" must inare himself to the observa- tiollb heard on foreign soil. A • "Will Tai" made his debut in this v^a-tch, and he enhanced his reputation as a back. In company with "0. E." he kept out the enemy for a protracted period. The halves worked hard, and fed their for wards assiduously, but it was all to no pur- pose. » » Walter Parry, on coming into the forward line, kept his men nicely cer-ved. "Tommy" can never play his game against the "Roosters." » < He is always afraid of injuring Dio Bach, the centre-half. That the latter had his leg fractured some time ago; hence Tom's timidity, « The ha&tily constituted Amateur Orchestra dis- played talent in the dressing-room. In Charles Croydon, they have an admirable conductor. E. Edmunds performed wonders en the man- doline. < « The piccolo playing of Owen a.nd Parry was heart-rending. • • • "Moss," at the pianoforte, was admirable. » » tt The "Reds" will play Conway in the Coast Amateur Cup, and for the second season in succession the game will be on the "Morfa." T .1 i in the meantime wouid not a little shooting practice serve a useful purpose? Lack of it has already lost the club two points. Willie Jones has returned from America, anA, it is to be hoped ho will rejoin his old club. • • • • You haven't left your "form" in the States- have you, Will? < Let's see you. once more in the ranks, reprÛ" ducing your old cunning. # » » The "Reds" have no match for Saturday, and will indulge in a practice. » The following week they will journey to Con- way for the Coast Amateur Cup competition. In connection with this match arrangements aro being made to journey by brake. » » » • The secretary desires those wishing to accom- pany the players to notify him immediately, 80 that he can made the necessary arrangements.

LLANRWST NUGGETS. Two points recorded, and against the Bayi-tefil It seems like old Limes to beat the "Reds." » This is very encouraging, and should urga the players on to further deeds of valour. C. J. Thomas mado another appearance as a referee at Gwydyr. ■» Finchett had not much to do. But the little that did come his v. ay could. not have been coped with better. » « » J. R. Jones and "Trevor" were good at back. When the halves were beaten the swift out, side men of the Bay easily overpowered them. < < < Bravo "Frans." You kept an ever watchful eye on "Moss," and allowed him little scope. ■ "Deio Bach" was the "jewel" of the inter- mediate line. » Grenville also performed well on the opposite wing. "Archie" Carter was the pick 0;' the for- wards. Norman Jones and T. Eli as formed a good right wing pair. » The latter's goal was a beauty. » "Captain" Chisholmc fed his partner, "Ned Bach, freeiv. It would pay if this were done to a lesser ex- tent- < < *< "Ned" was good and bad in turns.
