CONWAY CHATTER. With Conway to Tal-y Bont on Saturday was a pleasant journey. » » It was a pity the "Blues" had no better news than a three-one defeat to bring home with them. On the day's play, Tat-y-Bont were the better team, if it were only for the pluck and persistence which they showed when playing up the hill during the second half. « • If Daniels, although he was thrice beaten, played a grand game, and in him the "Blues" have a custo- fitian whom they would do well to play in League games when Llew. Parry is not available. He only needs a little more experience. » « I was glad to see W. J. Jones once more attired in a blue Jersey, and "W. J. you look better in blue than in any of the other League colours. # » It is hardly necessary for me to dwell upon "W. J. for all who were present at the game on Saturday saw the magnificent work he did. « His partner, Hugh Jones, was not so safe, however, and on several occasions he missed his kick at a cri- tical stage of the game. • » Taking the halves, Evans was the pick of the trio. L. H. Roberts was not up to form. Good waa also off colour on Saturday. k » » To proceed to the front rank. In the first place, the "Blues" sadly missed the services of their selected outside-left, Frank Jones, who did not turn up from St. Asaph as Was expected. The "Blues" were without a substitute until Secretary Jones obliged, and he did his best under the circumstances. D. T. Jones at inside-left seemed to be somewhat lacking in equality of play.

HOLYHEAD CHIPS. (By "Critio"). There was not much to enthuao &bout in Saturday's game with the Normals, which was but; a very moder- ate one all through. The only incident that caused I a flutter was the receipt of the wirr: from Bangor. « » Davies, for the visitors, played a splendid game. some of his saves being "cl..1.sy'" • • « • The two backs were good, Ii.H. b?ing if anything the better of the two. the better of the two. » I Of the balvefi, Cross wa. the pick, his work being very clean, whilst he fed his forwards with judgment. 1\ The forwards wero a ragged Lively they were poor, individually they were f.ir,-tl,ere did not seem to be much understanding between the five, although I liked the play of the two left wingers. Individualism may be all right in its way, but "unity is strength." » 'I Jim Evans, at right half, played a really good, serviceable game, and I have not the slightest doubt I that ho will develop into a splendid player. » < » W. J. Jones, too, played splendidly he inproved as t-tio game wore OIL Some of his passes were per- ) fect., and with a little more experience he will surely come on. ff j < Tom Jones was "not quite a success, though he h.a.. the makings of a good back. 1 fancy he was a trifle I nervous, and a little affected by what might be cal- led "Held" (stag*:) fright: It was his first "appear- I ance." 'Twill not,- be your last. I hope, my boy! < < I On Saturday, Oomv&y will appear at the Oval. and I am looking forward to your securing a couple of well-needed points. Just a word about that coming cup-tie at Beaumaris on the 2lst. It is going to be a great day and a great fight, and I hope the team will realise the importance of being physically fit for the encounter. I know two or three of you train occasionally, but more is needed, and I fancy that if you will only keep that recent defeat at Beaumaris in mind, you will do what I is necessary to enable you to step on the field in the "pink of condition." » « Juniors: My condolences and cong-ratulalions' 'Twas I a pity you lout, but you fought well. You surprised "the veterans," I am told. "Nuf sed."

LLANRWST CACKLE. The home supporters viewed the fixture of last Sat- urday with some misgivings, as it wa.s well-known that the Seaside™ were turning out their strongest combination to meet the youngsters. » The result of the encounter aroused the keenest enthusiasm and a question frequently asked wa.s which was the best eleven, the first team or the reserve*? And it was generally conceded that the youngeeters would make the seniors .go all the way if they mot. For the visitors, Hobson was vry safe between the sticks, while Sammic and Trevor showed excellent defensive power. The lialf-backs were triers, while the front rank were exceedingly active and combined well. Jack Williams, as pivot, was always dangerous, his shots and drives being always uear the mark, though fruitless. It V Tliere is no doubt that the Amateurs were decidedly unlucky in not finding the net, for the pivot experi- enced the worst of bad luck. « • Gillett, for the first quarter of an hoi-r, appeared slightly "rocky," but he soon settled down and brought oil some brilliant, saves. < Jones and Salisbury played a grand game at back. and thoroughly deserved the praise showered upon them by their friends. < If » The trio worked brilliantly, C'hi.sholm worked with the energy of a small horse, while Olwin, a new comer by the way, was responsible for some pretty touches. « » It The forwards worked en"i gHieally and they had plenty of dash, and will, no doubt, he able to give a good account of themselves against all their op- ponents.

PWLLHELI PEBBLES. At one part of the game on Saturday Carnarvon looked like repeating their bst performance and making a draw, but the two goals at tlic beginning gained by Pwllheli proved sufficient to take them into the next round. The home team started on business bent and with R. D. Roberts at the top of his form the "Canaries" were soon on the defensive, but failed to keep out a well plaoed shot by J. Williams. It To score so early was an advantage, and when be- fore many minutes had passed C. MoniM with an absolutely un-stopable shot put a second, a win seemed certain. # Instead of being discouraged by this early reverse the fellow birds chirped up right cheerily, and soon after half-time reduced the Pwllheli lead to 2-1. 41 BIll. a missed penalty lost (hem their chance, and although they tried hard to equalise, they never got on tenns. Griffiths failed to take an opportunity to put the. home team further ahead, and Roberts nearly did so Just 1Jdore the finish. 4 It was rather a curious game. Pwllheli got their chances early in the game and made u;;e of them. Carnarvon during the early part of the second half seemed to be having all the game. but. had no real openings. If As a matter of fact the teams are very equal and it would be difficult to say which sido would win, at any time they meet, either away or at home. « *» Thomson fairly held Johnny all the game. < < All the home halves played well, and Arthur Hughes showed quite the form of other days, although he is handicapped by bfiuK placed left full. W. Thomas was very safe, but, kicked into touch unnecessarily « » • Walter Jones was well marked by Bob Ellis. The visitors forwards as a whole appeared more evenlv balanced, but individually neither of the players was as successful as Mosley or R. D. Roberts. Robert David had quite a field day and although he did not score, xfhft good work and understanding- be- tween him and Mosley led up to both goals, while two shots, one of which struck t.he crossbar and the other just over were weU worth goals, while almost the last Rhot of the game would in nine oases out of ten have beat.e.n the goalkeeper. There was no discord either among the players or J spectators; the latter behaved admirably and this was largely due to the referee. They realised at once he was doing his best and so they accepted his decisions in tbe same sportsmanlike manner in which they were given. » There was a good gate (for Pwllheli) and the game will help to increase the interest now taken in the pastime. « « » » Next Saturday either Bangor Druids or Fortmadoc will be at Pwllheli. If the latter, they will have the services of their old players, while Twllheli will be represented by the pick of their reserves and they should give a good account of themselves. Charlie Moiris his unfortunately made up his mind to go to sea, so the c'uib will be on the look-out fur a new outside-left.

Play ruled even for some time. Th3 home rcght wing fcfoed the pace, and Tudor testcd Thorley wlth a beautiful shot from long range. Dale wad prominent in the Rhyl attack, and Jones had to be most vigilant. Cave made a number of judicious pa.Si>« to \Yallaoe Jonea, who al- mftit boat Thorby with a superb shot. Joe Williams rounded lloberts and drove in a rapp- ing shot, which Thorley disposed of in mas- terly fas-bion. rioveral loeig shots were sent in by the visiting forwards, who wore repeatedly dangerous- A number of flfsrnero foil to the homesters, but they failod to find the net until Tudor cleverly eluded Ellis, a.nd sent in a fast oblique shot, which gave Thorny no chance.

GOLF MATCH AT CONWAY. DUNCAN v. ROBS ON. The meeting on the Conway links yesterday (Wednes. day) in a thirty-six holes match of the two outstand- ing professionals of the, younger school, George Dun- call and F. Robson, constitutes one of the most at. tractive events of the autumn. Duncan (who was ¡ originally professional at Conway) for the last two years has been prominently before the golfing public, and the remarkable form of Robson in the recent professional tournament at Mid-Surrey is still fresh in tho memory of all golfers. Duncan omitted to enter for that tournament, and no index, therefore, can be had through that tournament to their relative form. In style of play there is much ia common I)o. tween the two men. Both are tremendous drivers and phy with great rapidity. Golfers have eagerly antici- I pated yesterday's meeting, for victory over Duncan will do mucii to enhance (he reputation which Robson has so rapidly gained, while the fixture will form all in- teresting index to Duncan's form for the great jE300 foursome a week hence. The Conway course has been greatly improved lately through the removal of the Volunteer quarters, a.nd constitute* a capital test of golf. Splendid golfiing weather prevailed, and there was a fair crowd when play commenced. Robaoti had the honour to the first hole, but his k>e shot was weak. Duncan reached the green, and easily gained a ;I, Robson failing with a six-foot putt to get down in a like number. Duncan was in the rough from the second, and, playing the odd throughout, lost the hole to his op- ponent. Reaching (he green from the third tee, ltob- son had a putt for a 2. but, was short. However, he won the hole in 3 to 4, Duncan being very erra-tic in his short game. After a splendid divide at the fourth. Duncan squared the match at the fifth through Robson leaving himself too much to do on the green. A brilliant 3 gavo the Bromborough professional the sixth, but, the match was again (Squared at the seventh, which Duncan holed--a lucky putt from the edge of the gr(-t-u-for 2. Robson won the Ilex two by splendid golf, and turned "J up. Details:—Out: Robson 44344334 3—32; Duncan 3 5 4 4 3 4 2 5 J4. An uneventful 5 resulted at the tenth, -while at the eleventh, Ikbsûn holed a running approach with his I iron for a 3, and further increased his lead. A lengthy drive from the next tee by the Bromborough 'professional found refuge, and the ball had eventually to be given up a.s lost. A fine 4 at the thirteenth en- abled Robson to regain his leixd of 3, but he lost this advantage at the next, as Duncan, by fine put- ting, won the hole in a perfect 4. The Scotsman had to nfJrotiate a threequarter stymie at the fifteenth to snatch a value, but, placing the next. badly, allowed Robson to increase his I.'ad to 3. After a half at the next, Robson won the hole and finished the first half of the match 4 holes in hand. Details home:- Robson.—5 3 6 4 5 3 5 5 4—40; total for round, 72. Duncan.— 5 4 4 5 4 3 6 5 o-41; total for round, 75. Robson beat Duncan 5 up, and 4 to play.

HUNTING, (All Rights Reserved.) THE WYNNSTAY HOUNDS. The Wynnstay Pack was favoured with glorious weather on Saturday at Pickhill Hall. The home covers having been drawn blank, Mr Hugh Peel, the acting master, took the hounds to Sutton Cover, where a fox was found, which was a capital cross-oountry goer wh) fairly outpaced the hounds and led a merry chase as far as the New Bridge, not far from Pickhill Hadl. Mr Peel, after seeing the fox cross the bridge, thought it best in the interest of sport to let it go. A move was then made to Borras, and it is most re- markable that his fox evaded its pursuers in the same way, but by another bridge. The big field did well to koap up with some of the best cross-country riders in the district. Many, however, came to grief, notably Mr Phillip Godsall, of Iscoj-d, whose horse stumbled, Mr Godsall being badly thrown. Although a capital day's spnrt, no kill was recorded. The hounds met at Bettisfield Park, on Monday, wti-,n Sir Watkin hunted the hounds and a fairly large field included Sir Wynd- ham and Miss Hanmer, Lord Harlech, Mr and Mrs Poole (Marbury Hall), Mr and Miss G-odsa.1, Capt. and Miss Wilson, Major Wynn, Mr and Miss Vio- let Cotton, and Mrs Mainwaring (Oteley). Several foxes were found in the park, but scent was so bad nothing was done. Lord Kenyon's gorse held one that provided a short run. Theie were several foxes in Ff-nna Wood, and twice hounds emerged from here, only to be beaten through lack of scent.

FLINT AND DENBIGH HOUNDS. These hounds met yesterday week at Tanygirt. Among those out were Captain Glasbury, Miss Bibbey, Mr H. Bibbey, Mr C. Williams, Colonel and Miss Mes- nam. Mr I'o iran, Mr Lloyd, Mr Howell-Evans, and several others. Hounds were firs put into Tanygirt gorse, which proved tenantless. A long trot w;¡ I made back to Plas-y-Cefn Rocks, and there finding a brace but as there was no scent hounds could do nothing with them. Hounds were then taken on to Oefn Bryn, and finding, they ran back the length of the Bryn and over the road to th.- Mill Stream Cover. They then turned again to the Bryn, and .1 down to the Weir where the hare got to ground, but was dog out and killed. Hafodu::os was the meeting place on Saturday. Drawing round by the house, which proved blank, the hounds went on to the Dingle where they found at once and ran up and down the Dingle several times. The hare made away at the top end, leaving the house on the left and down over the moors on to Llanrwst Big Wood. The hare then turned and ran back to liaf<>d-<nos up through the Dingle, where it was lost after a good hunt of two and a half hours. Mr and Mrs Lambert, Mr H. Bihby. Mr Roberts and son, Mr Ralph Couran being out here amongst those present. A verv small field. SPORTSMAN.

ANGLESEY HARRIERS. These hounds met at Penmynydd Alms Houses on Saturday, and a good clay's sport was enjoyed by everyone out. Drawing the gorse banks first, op- posite the school, they soon found, but she proved to be a twisting hare, and hounds killed her after a short gallop. Drawing the Parks they soon found again, and with a small ring they soon put paid to her account. Number three hare proved the best of the day and gave a good hunting run over a stretch of rough country, the fences very blind and falls numerous. The hare turned round the big Parks op- posite Penmynydd Rectory and got away over the. Pentraeth-road to the gorse banks straight on to Eluscndai, over the road through the Alms-houses Gardens into the bog below straight through and up the old lane to Castell Farm. Here she was oourscd by a cur dog for a short distance, hut hitting 0)1 the line again .she went close to Ty'n-y-Buarth. but Ipar- ing to the left came down the rough fields to Bridin and along the lane for some distance. Turning right with hounds close to her they raced away as if for Tyddyn y-Felin, but turning sharp to the left they rolled her over behind Penmynydd Post Office, after a good forty minutes hunt. Hounds then came back to Dragon and found again directly, a.nd a very sharp hunt for 10 minutes went alwav over the road to Cefnpoeth down to Nant over the road. when a man turned her back in front of houads as she was crossing the new railway and she was killed. Bad to Plas Tenaiynydil '.b.-y found again, but hounds could not do much as a cold cast wind sprang up and home was the order. ARTEREXES.

NORTH MONTGOMERYSHIRE FOOT HARRIERS. On Saturday the meet was at Bethel, and Mr E. S. Perrott hunted the hounds, and there was only a small field out consisting of Mr J. M. Dugdale, Mr R. 0. Pcn-ott, Miss l'errott, Miss E. Perrott, Mr Hamer, Miss C. Verdon, Miss D. Yerdon, Mr E. Hanmer Jones and a few others. The first hare was found close to Bethel, and crossing the road the hounds ran straight over the Racecourse and then on to Cammcn. Here they checked on the road, but a holloa back sixm set them going again, and running back "n the Gloag, they killed. Drawing the gorse fields close by a hare was unfortunately chopped, but another was soou n foot, and this gave one of the best tuns of the season. Racing away over the road and Pantybedw they crossed the Racecourse and over the Uwastad Farm, then turning back by Cwest Wen they crossed the Cammen Bog and straight on to Pontscadarn, where they kiilcd in the Dingle. The run lasted one hour and twenty minutes and the point was a good four miles, though the hounds must have covered more than double this distance. Coming back to the Gloag, another hare was found in the heather. After one good ring she crossed the Valley and ran through the Oak Covert on the opposite hill. Coming back she got a long lead and eventually ran hounds out of scent. It was a first-rate day's sport. On Wednesday, hounds met at Efel-y-Cwm. A start was made on the left of Lahe Vyrnwy-road. but a hare was not found until the top of the hill was reached, and then, unfortunately, it ran straight into the hounds and was killed. A good hare- was, how- ever, found in some thick gorse a little further on. a.nd after several circles she made off in the direction of Bronhoulog Hill. The hounds took her round the far side of the hill and then brought her back past the place where she was found and on to the top of a hill looking on to the main road, but there she was lost after a good run of about one hour. Another Hare was found after lunch in the Dingle near the main road, and after dodffing about there for some time and making one or two small circles just over the hill, she at length went away for a considerable distance in the direction of Pontrobert, bui hounds could never push her as the scent appeared to be very bad all afternoon. After checking at the furthest point reached, one of the field shouted that he had seen the hunted hare coming back; hounds were therefore taken back, but on arriving just ibovc the Dingle where the hare had been seen dead beat, they could make very little of the line. and as there were several hares on foot in the Dinerle. hounds were whipped off at four o'clock, after a very slow hunt of over a hour and a half. Owing to the Masters absence, the hounds were hunted by Major W. M. Dugdale.

FISHING. PERCH FISHING EXTRAORDINARY. # ——————— A Welsh oorrespondent writing to the "Field" BaYS: "About thirty years ago Mr Pierce, the late pro- prietor of the Valley Hotel, Anglesey, stocked the Trawffwyll Lake, near the well-known summer resort, Rhosneigr, with trout and perch. The lake--which covers an area of 85 acres—is sorrounded by rocke, and has a depth close by the banks of 6ft. A few days ago a couple of Denbighshire anglers secured permis- sion from the present proprietor of the Valley Hotel to fish off the rocks for perch. As the lake is abso- lutely packed with perch, they went well armed with worms. They began about 1 p.m., and fished from the same rock without shifting until sunset, using three hooks on the gut. The fish immediately began to bite, and were drawn out at the rate of two and three at a time. Both anglers were so busily engaged that they had no time to fat or smoke, with the re- sult that by sunset they had secured the extraordinary number of 6S7 perch, or 322 and 365 respectively, and eighteen trout. The largest perch weighed 21100.. and the larg-ast trout 4jlbs., all caught with red worm and in the same spot. The fish weighed altogether 3171 bs. During thp summer months tour Holyhead gentle- men, fishing from two boats in the same lake, secured 835 perch and twenty-seven trout, and had to hire a cart to remove their spoils. The lake is said to be of great depth, and it is to be utilised in the near. future as the water supply for the town of Holyhead and the villages of Rhosneigr, The Valley, and Tr arddur Bay. This fact, however, will not interfere with the fishing in the slightest de- gree, so it will remain a happy hunting ground for the perch angler for years to come."

AN UNKNOWN WANDERER'S DEATH. BODY D5SCOVERED AFTER SEVERAL DAYS. INQUEST AT COLWYN BAY. A sad story was related before Dr. J. R Hugl", ooironer ior West Denbighshire, and. a jury At Colwyn Bay on Saturday, ""llen an in- (ra"- was held touching t-he death of an un- known elderly roan, whose body had been dis- covered in an outhouse at Dohvyd Farm, Moch- dre, to-day week. It appears that the deceased, who "was de- I,- scribed as a veil-spoken, "gentlemanly old man who had seen b3tter days," had frequented the district during the past two or three years. On the previous Sunday he called at Dolwyd, where lie was supplied with refreshments. He after- wards left the farmhous^ in the diretfion of a tool and implement shc-d situated in a field some distance away from the faun yard Notihing wa.s subsequently seen of him until Mr Samuel Roberts, the farm holder's son, entered the SIKXI on Tliur.-Alay morning, a.nd found his body in a semi nude condition lying prostrate on the earhhen floor, life having apparently been ex- tinct for some days. The facts were reported to the police, but up till the time of the inquest no information had been vouchsafed, which would lead to the deceased's identification. Mr Hugh Evans, of the Hotel, Mochdre, was ahosea foreman of the jury.

TIIE CORONER S COMMENTS. In opening the inquiry Dr. llugheo described tibo oa.se as a very sad and miserable one. As he had observed on a previous occasion it was a disgracc that old men. should b-j allowed to tra.mp about the country as they d:d; they on,Jit to bo taken up and kept in safety- When the body of the docea*d was lo-und it, was in a very abject ajid miserable state. Such things should not be possible in any Christian coun- Something should be done to Tbmove what was nothing but a plot upon a civilised country. David John WMlliams, employed at Dolwyd Fa-rm, epokc to seeing the deceasod at tb3 farmhou.se on the previous Sunday, when he had boon supplied with food. Witness did not spoak to him, but he observed that hw0 bore the over- coat and walking stick produced. Deo&aaed subsequently left the yard, and proceeded in th:- direction of a tool shed situated in a fiekl little ckstance a"vv.v from the farmhouse. In answer to a juro", witness said the shed w.a; seldom entered at that pariod of the year, and no one had had occ-ision to vi.it the place- till Mr Roborts went there on Thursday morn- ing. It was an open shed, but no on: could see ito interior from the neighbouring roadway. Mr Samuel Roberts said that- when he enter- ed the shed at 10.15 on Thursday morning he saw the old maai's body lying' on t.h.co earthen floor. With tlhe exception of under clothing and boots all the dvK.-ea^d's clothes bad been taken off and deposited in a corner of the shod. WTit- nets at ono.) reported the matter to his brother: ajid the police were communicated with. Act- ing Sergt- Thomas, of Colwyn Bay, and Mr Hugth Evans arrived that afternoon. He be- lieyoo the doceased went to the shod on Sun- day. Replying to a juror, Witness said tramps did not usually sleep in tho shed. The bo! lay- as though deceased bad rolled over in his oleep, because the face rotod on the bare ground. Acting Sergt. Thomas, of Cohvyn Bay, de- scribed the body as "lying' face downwards, quite on the soil, between an old tree stump and the side of the shod which was built of goros bushes." The clothes composed of anan-y blue suit, a dark grey striped overcoat, and a hard felt hat hod been deposited as though the deceased had undressed before going to sleep.

The clothes had been thoroughly but fruitlessly examined for evi- dence of identification, a railway ticket from Llandudno to Conway was found in one pocket, but tiie polioe of neither town couM giv3 no particulars of t.ho man' previous movements. P.C. Williams, of Glan Conway, interposed with the remark that had spent a niglht in a Conway lodging-house on the pre- vious Wodnosdiv but he had given no name. Sargt. Thomas added that it was evident from the condition of t'he body that deceased had not «};e!tored in a workhouse for some time. Questioned by the Foreman Juror, witness said it was a common thing for tramps to un- drni; i-,Ti-.en they could lay in straw.

THE FOREMAN JUROR'S STATEMENT. At this stage the Foreman of the Jury volun- teered a .t-ato.mcnt to tho effect that the de- creased had boen well-known to him "by ht" Li during the paid three years; he had in fact been a frequent visitor to the district. At 7 a.m. on Saturday deceased sat on a seat outride witness' hotel at MociuLre, and, as he complain- ed of indi.siposit.ion, his (Mr Evans') daughter took ihim a cup of tea. Deceased thru said he was making hi-, way to the Conway WTorkhou»e. "lie was a gentlemanly old man," remarked Mr Evans. "In conversation he .said he had seen better and that his wife had deserted him, a.ud made away with all his money." At- this point the Coroner instructed Sergt. ihoma.? to telephone tlie Conway Workhouse Ma.ster as to whether anything wer:1 known by h:m of the d-eceacvod. The officer subsequently reported that the inquiry had b.?en in vain, and in reply to a juror said the .deceased would be between 50 and 60 years of age. P-C. lihair., of Glan Conway, gave evi- dence in corroboration of Acting Sergt. Thomas with regard to the removal of the b^dy, and added that on inquiring at a Conwdv lodging- house he was satisfied that the doceased had .Sept. there on the previous Wednesday week. On leaving the lodging-house in the morning deceased told tho landlady that he had been sleeping out for over twenty weeks, adding that she would no doubt find some, vermin in the bod- The woman said she been obliged to burn all the bod clothes, so bad was their con- dition after tihe deceased had slept in thein. In answer to a juror, Acting S^ipgt. add he was of opinion that deceased had died of st.arYa ti.1!1 The Jury returned an open verdict, the fore- main suggesting that the police continued their investigations concerning the man's recent movements.

"J. R. Llew. Pritchard, and Will Owen played well. » The home team were more evenly balanced, their defence and forwards were all sound, and played- a typical cup-tie game. Notwithstanding the fact that the team had been beaten, it was a lively little company, who gave the usual three times three for Tal-y-Bont. < < < The "Blues" have nothing but the Amateur Cup to look forward to now. The following is the team I suggest for the "Bl.W in their cup-tie at Llanrwst Liew. Parry (goal); W. J. Jones and "Now" Ellis (backs); Arthur Owen, Bob Owen; and Will Stone (halves); J. E. Williams (Llandudno Amateurs). Tom Jones. Tommy Athert.on, Ernest Parry, and Sam- Parry (forwards.) I can just imagine Tom Jones as a forward popping for goal. A dreary outlook for the "Bluea" next Saturday, when they visit Holyhead in search of League poiu' It is to be hoped that the Harbourmen will not greatly improve their goal average at the expense of the "Blues." » A schoolboys' League has bf"en formed at Llandud no, and would it not be advisable for thp Conway Boy.* School F. C. to apply for admission? Since Llandudno have led the way in North Wales in the matter of forming a Schoolboys' League, Con- way should be the first to back them up. < An Amateur Junior Olub is coming into existence at Conway this season which will be styled, Conway Albions. # The team will probably enter for tthe Russell Charity Cup, which was last year won by the Gloddaeth Rovers. Junior clubs should be properly encouraged, as a means of drawing new blood for the senior club.
