UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF NORTH WALES v. CARDIFF UNIVERSITY- VICTORY FOR THE SOUTH WALIANS. The CardIff University College cricket team paid their first visit to Bangor on Tuesday. Unfortunately rain fell heavily during the IJ}urning. and though it gave way to sunshine during the afternoon, the pitch was far from favourable to the bowlers. The local t",11II went in first, but they were all dismissed for 59. With his first ball, Woodings dismissed T. R. Thomas for 3, but the visitors settled down to work afterwards, and seveiely punished the bowling. The lie-it, bowling, record on the Bangor side was achieved by Woodings, who secured s>f. en wickets f,)r 3G runs. D. s. Owen captured three wickets foi 3.J..

BOWLING, BOWLING AT RHYL. WREXHAM WELL BEATEN. On Saturday the Rhyl Club opened its match season with a fixture with the Wrexham Club, and were victors after a very pleasant game by 308 to 146—the result being a marked improvement upon the last occasion when Rhyl were victorious by 134 points. The day was delightfully line, and the green after the warm sunshine of the previous day was very fast. The Yisitors do not appear to have been able to gauge the running. The scores were as follow:- RHYL. S D; J. Pierce Lewis 4 E. E. Vaughan 5—15 T. Clewley 1] W. Clarke 11—15 J. Aidney II W. Gunner 11-]5 E A. Wood ll R. W. Hudson 11-15 G.

Hughes 5 F.Moore. 0—9 J. K. Jones 5 E. Robinson ii-is NOTES ON THE GAME. In the singles it appeared as though the two first pairs had met tiieir match. Mr J. Pierce Lewis, who is usually a very reliable bowler, was drawn against Mr \V. Hughes, and went down to the tune of 4 to 11. This was one of the surprises of the match, but, in justice to the local man, it should be said that he has not played for some considerable time, having but lately recovered from an attack of influenza. Mr ll ughes led olf with one point, but his opponent equalised at the next end, after which the visitor added a second. Mr Lewis, however, was successful in securing two good ends, but after this his opponent got the run of the green, as he scored each of the succeeding six ends. Mr Lewis had the eleventh, but Mr Hughes won on the twelfth. Strange to say, in the next contest there was again a victory for the visitor, Mr Samuels getting home by 11 to 5. This was by no mean3 a one-sided struggle, as Mr Vaughan led for the first two ends (1 and 2), but after this the Wrexham player ran away, putting on two 2's. Mr Vaughan managed to secure I with the sixth end, but he did not again score until the tenth. In his score Mr Samuels had four 2's With Mr Clewley and Mr E Robeitshaw, the game was won in ten ends, the visitor not find- ing the jack until the eighth, Mr Clewley being 10 to love before his opponent scored. Mr Clarke had a close match with Mr Blew, and it took 13 ends to finish, although he was 7 to iove at the sixth. After that Mr Blew I had a run for four ends, but his opponent on again securing the jack took him over newer ground, and won. The game with Mr Aidney and Mr WooCV I was soon up. It only required nine ends settle it, and of his seven the old veteran bowler put on four 2's. Mr Wood led from Mr Willetts from the start, ,but at the sixth end the game was four all. After i that the Rhyl captain added three 2's and won on the tenth end. Mr W. Gunner had an easy win over Mr R. Johnson, and after the first end ran away "with all before him." Mr Hudson, who is a young and promising player, did not do so well at the start, and at the fifth end the game was 3 all, but after that he put on three 2's, and won on the eleventh end. Between Mr Nuttall and Mr Pavitt the game I was even on the first four end- After that the Ilhyhte went ahead with a 2, and although his opponent scored twice the match was won in 12 ends. Mr McLennan and Mr Rabbins had a pretty match, the visitor leading at the sixth end by 4 to 3, but his opponent got the jack with 2 on the seventh, and kept it for the next three, making five points. At the tenth the visitor added 1. but he was beaten on the next two. Mr Wilkes gave Mr J. E. Johnson (the club cup holder) a good game. The score was 5 all at the seventh end, and it took fourteen to finish the game, which was one of the best of the day. Mr Johnson made but two 2's to his opponent's three. In the game between Mr D. Owen and Mr Mossford, play was of a give and take order for the first nine ends, when the score read 6 all, but after- that -the home player had a short run, but was beaten on the eleventh end. The next two were won by the visitor, who added a 2. Mr Owen, however, was successful on the last two ends, putting on two 2's, and won on the fourteenth by 11 to 9. Mr Gratton, who is one of the youngest mem- bers on the club's match list, had an easy win against Mr W E. Johnson, who only scored on the second end. The home player put on four 2's. Mr T. Jones won in ten ends against Mr Rcvan who played very well against a very stron^ opponent. 0 Mr R. II ughes and Mr Hanlon enjoyed a capital match, but the visitor only scored on five ends, one being a 2. The game was finished in eleven ends. The match between Mr Pritchard and Mr Moore was of short duration, the former scoring 11 points with 12 bowls, making five 2's. With Mr Foster and Mr J. K. Jones the game was up in eight ends, and although out of his five Mr Jones made two 2's he had not a "look- in" after the third end. The last the singles was that between Mr Miller and Mr Robinson, and the latter gave a splendid display on a very tricky green. lie led from the first, and won in 14 ends. Mr Robinson was the only member of the visiting team who won both singles and doubles. In the "double events" there were several very good matches, but some of the ends were poor. Messrs Pierce Lewis and Vaughan scored three from their first end against Messrs W. Hughes and Samuels, following up with a 4. after which their opponents made a 1 and a 2, but play was all with the home side after that. Mr Clewley and Mr Clarke went down on their first end against Messrs Robertshaw and Blew, but they pulled up on the next two. On the fourth the visitors put on one, but the Rhvtites after that had matters all their own war, al- though 2 was the most they put on at any end. Messrs Johnson and Woodville were opposed to two very good players in Messrs Aidney and Gunner, although the two latter had never pre- viously played together in a doubles. After the first end, where the visitors put on 2, the home men had a run for three ends. They went down on the fifth, but finished on the eighth, their last three ends being a 4. 3, and 2. Against Messrs Hudson and Wood the Wrex- ham players (Messrs Willetts and Davies) only won two ends, scoring a 2 and a 1. The Rhyl men played a good consistent game, making one 4, twee's and 2's It required 16 ends to decide the definite game between Messrs Nuttall and McLennan and Messrs Pavitt and Robbiiis. The score was 6 all on the sixth end, but after that the home men had better luck, and won each end except the eleventh, although they only put on three 2's in the game. Messrs Bevan and Johnson had a bad beating from Messrs Gratton and Jones, only scoring on the third end with a 1. The game was up in ten ends. The match between Messrs Johnson and Owen against, Messrs Mossford and Wilkes was more evenly fought, although the Rhyl playurs led at the start. Fifteen ends were play, Rhyl winning six. Messrs Hanlon and Pritchard found that Messrs Hughes and Moore had considerably improved on their play in the singles. The visitors made a very good show, winning seven of the fourteen ends, although they lost 15 to 9. The only doubles lost by Rhyl was that in which Messrs Foster and Miller were matched against Messrs J. K. Jones and Robinson. It was not until the fifth end that they found the jack, ther opponents then being 8 up. After that the Rhyl players pulled up, and won the next three ends, but out of the five succeeding ones they only scored a 2. It was a popular win, the 15 up being secured on the twelfth end. After the match the visiting team were enter- tained to tea by the some side at the Imperial Hotel.

SUNDAY GOLF. WHY IT IS BECOMING MORE POPULAR. The English Sunday is in a state of siege. It is besieged by those who wish to deprive it of its power. Formerly it had the full monopoly of one day in seven. Its power was unchal- lenged and supreme. It ruled with an iron rod. Every class and every sphere of life was sub- ject to its sway. It claimed absolute dominion over the bodies and souls of men It ruled man's recreation as w-ell as his work and worship. Its decrees were strangely contrasted. Its code contained a curious mixture of positive and negative commands. If it enjoined the duty of Divine worship, it no less refused the right to work or the pursuit of pleasure. If it insisted upon people listening to sermons on Sunday, and made it a sin to neglect worship, it made it a sin for a man to take a walk in hi- garden, or for a mother to kiss her child. But now the supremacy of Sunday seems to be passing. Once it was like a business secure from competition; now it, struggles with the most resolute rivals which increase in number every year. First came the attraction of the art galleries and museums. Then followed music in the parks, Sunday newspapers, sacred concerts, motor cars, etc. Little by little the tide of secularism has been flowing over the sacredness of the day until it is almost submerged; and now golf has cast its glamour over the holy day. There can be no doubt whatever but that, golf is becoming a serious competitor with Church- gomg. THE GROWTH OF GOLF. Sunday golf is by no means general as vet, but the practice is growing. Clubs arc relaxing their rules in its favour; golfers stride through the streets with their sticks on Sundav with un- abashed pride; and many, too carcful to outrage local custom, go away for the week-end to in- dulge their passion on links in some distant place. Hundreds and thousands who as vet have not ventured to go are itching to do likewise. They lack the courage, and so they drag tlL,ir bodies to church but their thoughts are with the balls and the breezy links. Can we doubt but that passive resistance of this kind will weaken and in a short time many of these wavering ones will be drawn under the spell of Sunday golf? Now, there is no disputing the fact that the Sunday golfer can make out a strong and rea- sonable case. The pastime is healthy and in- vigorating. It is played under conditions that minister both to body and* mind. It is far from the feverish, sordid ways of the citv. It is re- moved from thê sawdust and orange peel odour of the music halls, and the artificial atmosphere of the theatre. It has not the emptiness and languor of the liver picnic, or the vulgar, brazen racket of the motor car. It combines the maxi- mum of physical and mental refreshment with the minimum of moral temptation. If there be a lawful Sabbath recreation, if there be an ideal Sunday sport, the distinction surely belongs to golf. THE GOLFER'S EXCUSE. If it be objected that playing golf on Sunday is not observing the day as was intended, that Sunday is a day of rest, and that to spend it in sport is to turn it into an occasion of tiring activity, the golfer has a ready reply :—"Nothing can be more tiresome than the average doctrinal sermon. To thousands of worshippers the Sun- day sermon is the tread-mill of the week. They sit in church through the service with a bored look that tells its own tale. Ask them about the sermon and they will probably say, 'it was very nice,' but they could not tell you the text. What impressed them most was the 'Amen' at the end. They return home with the wan and worn ex- pression of all sufierers; with the unsatisfied sense of having discharged a meaningless duty." But golf and its glorious contact with nature; the trees, the streams, the flowers, the birds, the blue sky above and the background of brown hills! How is it possible to be sad in face of the fresh air, the exercise, the stimulus of out- door hfc? The smiling face of nature makes the gloomiest golfer glad. S i: ND A Y SENTIM ENT A LISTS. Then there is another thing which is undoubt- edly influencing many Englishmen in their atti- tude towards Sunday, I mean the illogical and inconsistent observance of the day bv the vast majority of professing Christians. 'We are not a logical race like the French, and nowhere is our lack of logic more evident than in our religion. We cannot even compromise with the clean-cut precision of our Continental neighbours They, as we know, give ono part of the day to wor- ship and the rest to pleasure, but our observance ,e, but our obrer ance is full of odd incongruities. We are outraged at the idea of Sunday news- papers, yet we read with avidity the news on Monday morning which was gathered and worked up during the sacred hours. We deprecate sacred concerts in the park or pavilion, yet we encou- rage sacred music in the family and home. We ol),,ii our museums, yet we close our exhibitions. We are supposed to forsake vvorldliness and fash- ion on Sunday, yet we display more worldliness and fashion in our dress that day than on any other. The foreigner says we are hypocrites and Phari- sees. In reality, we are neither. We are simply Sunday sentimentalists, too idle or thoughtless to trouble about putting our conduct on a rational basis. We make Sunday a maze, and then lose ourselves in it. WITAT IS SUNDAY? There can be but two logical views of Sunday. Either it is a holy day, invested with the autho- rity of a Divine decree, or it is simply a day to be ruled by social expediency. If we take the former view, it is not legitimate to do more than is absolutely necessary. If we take the latter view, the question of right and wrong does not occur: it is a question of social welfare and no- thing more. We are too careless to make up our minds, hence our respect for the day is characterised by all kinds of inconsistency. This lax of illogical observance gives encou- ragement. to the golfer and other pleasure seek- ers. If the smoker may keep Sunday and yet have his pleasant pipe: if the Church-goer may keep Sunday end worship God, with his walk and fashionable church parade, why may not the golfer keep Sunday and yet indulge his hobby too, Our judicial authorities have devoted serious argument to the discussion of the question, "What is beer?" Other sedate Councils have in- quired, "What is a working III an ?" There is equal need that cur ecclesiastial authorities should con- sider the question, "What is Sunday, and what are the real grounds of its authority ?"— "Daily Dis- patch."

SCHOOL DISEASES. EPIDEMICS STOPPED BY ZAM-BUIv. Crowded together in schools, children are par- ticularly liable to contract scalp sores and other skin diseases. Ringworm is a source of great trouble and spreads with remarkable rapidity. Parents and teachers, however, have a thorough safeguard and sure remedy in Zam-Buk. Mrs Kay, of 95, Rigby-street, St. Helens, Lanes., told a representative of the "St. Helens Free Press," that her grandson, Joseph Wetton, 12 years of age, commenced to suffer from ring- worm. "The disease broke out all over his head," she said. "I was so much alarmed that I took the boy to a medical man, who tried several remedies, without effect. "The boy's head was a mass of inflamed sores, and really horrible to look at. It was at this stage that Zam-Buk came under my notice. Soon after I started using Zam-Buk there were signs that the boy would get better, and event- ually he was really cured. Now the boy has not a trace of the disfiguring disease about him." Remembering the extraordinary rapidity with which ringworm attacks and spreads amongst school children it is of the utmost importance to always keep handy a box of Zam-Buk. Don't trust to cheap ointments and salves with- out any medicinal merit at all, for while you are experimenting with such coarse things, the dis- ease is rapidly getting a,, firm hold. Zam-Buk possesses more Stirling medicinal value than any other known preparation for the skin.
