SILVER IN DEMAND.
SILVER IN DEMAND. A CONSEQUENCE OF PENSION PAYMENTS. A great run on silver has resulted from the operation of the Old Age Pensions Act. The payment of pensions is necessarily made in silver, says the weekly bullion letter issued by Messrs Samuel Montagu and Co., and looal post offices are now obliged to keep a larger stock of small change. By so doing, silver coin is diverted into new channels, and, for a time at least, some increase of ooin may be required, and the Mint coin more than would be otherwise wanted.

OUR LIBRARY TABLE. "ST. ASAPII DIOCESAN CALENDAR- The fourteenth issue of the "St. Asaph Dio- oesan Calendar and Clergy List has just been published, and its Editor, Canon C. F. Roberts, M.A., rector of Llanddulas, is once more to ba congratulated upon the completeness of its in- formation, and the admirable arrangement of the matter. Two or three new features have been introduced this year. One of them, a summary of statistics of the Church in W, is of special value and of great interest to Non- conformists and Churchmen alike. Facts and figures are given bearing" upon the number of clergy, churches, mission rooms, communicants, Sunday and elementary schools and scholars, baptisms, confirmations, marriages, and burials in each of the four Welsh dioceses; particulars are also given of the provision made by volun- tary contributions, with comparative figures for the voar 1840, all revealing the steady progress of Welsh Church life. Nine pages are devoted to a record of the work carried out in various churches in the St. Asaph Diocese during the year 1907-8, while the obituary list has oeen brought right up to the date of the death of the Rev. Tlheodore J. Cooper, B.D., of Hawar- den, on the 4th ult.

-ft GOOD DIGESTION ENSURES GOOD HEALTH. When your digestion is in sound working' order it makes the food you eat read, for assimi- lation, and all the nutriment it contains gees into your system to become rich, stimulating blood; each organ, nerve, and muscle is proper- ly nourished, and you cannot well be otherwise than healthy. But when your digestion is imperfect, your food Lags J n your stomach and begins to ferment and deoompose, instead of being digested. This creates poiwnous acids and wind or gas, which presses on the heart and jungs, causing palita- tion and difficult breathing. The harmful pro- ducts of decomposition are drawn into your blood, your system is weakened and the way prepared for painful, perhaps deadlV, diseases. Mother Seigel's Syrup acts as a digestive tonic and assists Nature's own processes in digestion and assimilation. Use it on the first sigfm of stomach disorder, and it will quickly put you right and keep you right. Says Mr W. J. Jones, of 15, Acfold Road, Wandsworth Bridge Road, London, S.W., m a statement, dat-ed September 3rd 1908:—"For several years I suffered severely from indiges- tion, giddiness, and insomnia. Three bottles of Mother Seigel's Syrup entirely cured me, and to-day I am perfectly free from those troubles." Mother Seicel' Srup is also prepared in Tablet form, as Mother Seigel's Sirup Tablets.

NORTH WALES FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.
NORTH WALES FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. SUCCESSFUL CARNARVON PROTEST. COLWYN BAY FORFEIT A MATCH. A mooting of the Coiunoil of the North Wales Football Association was held at the Avoiidale Restaurant, Lllandudno, yesterday week. Mr J. H. Viwent presided, and the other members present were: Messrs Henry Lloyd, Conway; P. Weekes, Hoiy- head; R. E. Brietrcliffe, Rewimaxis; J. Rhys Morgan, Carnarvon; S. Willmami, Bangor; H. Heap, Colwyn Bay J. McAleese, Greenfield; D. Hughes, Denbigh; together with the Secretary (Mx J. Llewelyn Wil- liaims). PROTEST AGAINST PLAYING EXTRA TIME. The Carnarvon Club protested against extra time having been played in the semi- final for the Amateur Cup between Beau- maris aind Carnarvon at Bangor on Satur- day ladt. The Secretary explained that he informed the referee upon the occasion that, in the event of a tie, extra time would have to be played; and, as the match resulted in a tie of two goals each, extra time was played, resulting in a win for BMnimaria by five goals to two. Mr Brieircliffie: It is & question as to whether the rules have been broken or not. The Secretary: It is not a question of rules, but whether I have exceeded my duty oar not. Mr BrieroliifPe said that lie understood the Secretary wat3 informed that the Ban- gor ground would not be available for a re- plifcy, and upon that he ordered the extra time. The representatives of the Carnarvon Club were then called in. They consisted of Messrs J. L. Harms (chairman of tlie Cairnarvon Committee), T. H, Gregory, and R. J. Williams. Mr Hatrrds addsneesed the meeting in sup- port of the protest, and said that the referee informed the captains that, in the event of a draiw, extra time would have to be played. They wecre not asked wliether they would, but ordered to dO so. He (Mr Hairris) went up to the referee to protest against the extra time at the close of the game, but was ordered off the field. He contended that to order extra time under such circumstances was unprecedented in bbe annals of any Association; and, further, there was no rule on the books of the Association which warranted the playing of extra time. The Council had no power to fix extra time without the consent of both teams. Mr Gregory endorsed Mr Harris' re- marks, as the oa^ptaiuns had no option but to oarry out the referee's orders. Mr Brierolifle: Did affy member of the committee know that extra time was to be played ? Mr Harris No; they did not. Mr Briercliffe: Supposing the boot was on the other leg, and Carnarvon had won, would Carnarvon have protested then? (laughter). The Chairman: That is not a fair ques- tion. Mr Slater, who was the referee at the match in question, stated that the Secretary informed him that, if the match resulted in a draw, extra time would have to be played; and he" therefore, unformed the captains of both teams, and the extra time was then played. Air Weekes proposed that the match be replayed at Bamgor oai Wednesday, Feb- ruary 24th. Mr Heap seooaided, and it was carried unanimously, PLAYER CENSURED. J. M. Williams, of the Carnarvon United Club, was reported for violent play, by kicking an opponent; amd, upon the pro- positkxn of Mr S. wiumlann, the player was censured. PLAYERS SUSPENDED. H. Roberts, Carnarvon United, and W. Humphreys, Beaumaris, were reported for dangerous play in a match between the above clubs at Bangor. Mir Briercliffe contended that, as the Council had already decided that the extra time played was illegal, and a replay ordered, the reports could not be con- sidered. The Council, however, decided by majority, to hear the case. Roberts appeared before the Council, and denied the charge; but a telegram was read from Humphreys stating that he was un- ivble to attend owing to illness. Mr Pearson, Llandudno, who was present at the matoh, gave evidence as to seeing Humphreys foul Roberts, after which Roberts turned upon Humphreys an-a jumped, to his throat. Mr Briercliffe produced a number of letters from persons who witnessed the inci- cident to the effect that Roberts was the aggressor. The C-lixirman pointed out that the fact remained that Humphreys was turned off the field by the referee. Mr Henry Lloyd proposed that both players be suspended far a month. The Secretary suggested that, as the incident occurred during the extlra, time, and that as both te&ms had to meet again in the same cup-tie, a severe censure would meet the case. Mr S. Wiilmann proposed that' the play- ers be censured, but failed to find a seconder. Mr D. H. Hughes seconded the suspension for a month. Mr Weekes proposed that Humphreys be suspe-nded for a month, and Roberts for fourteen days. It was resolved by the casting vote of the Chairman that each player be suspended for a month. COLWYN BAY FORFEIT A MATCH. A protest was Lodged by the Denbigh Club against Colwyn Bay, who, it waa alleged, had played a man named Ted Roberts in a match against them, and who itdd previously played againsi Greenfield in a senior competition. Representatives of the Colwyn Bay Club, contended that a mistake had been made by conf using two men of the same nama. The two persons concerned appeared be- The two persons concerned appeared be- fore the Council, one giving the name of Edward Roberts, and th other W. E. Roberts. Ed. Roberts stated that he had never played at Greenfield in his life, and did not know where the place was on the map. W. E. Roberts said that he played in the Greenfield match upon the z,-earion men- tioned. The captain of the Colwyn Bay team also stated that W. E. Roberts was the man who played at Greenfield. Two witnesses were, however, called for Denbigh, who identified Edward Roberts as the man who played at Greenfield. The Secretary efti-cl he knew Colwyn Bay sent a scratch team to Greenfield, and that the names of the team had not been sent to him as usual. Mr Heap was confident that Edward Roberts had never played against Green- field Mr Weekes, however, felt equally con- fident, upon the evidence, that Ed. Roberta had played; and he, therefore, proposed that the protest bo upheld, and the match awarded to Denbigh. Mr S. WiUmanm seconded, and it waa carried. Mr J. O. Daviea I give notice that we shall appeal to the Welsh Association. A CHANGE OF DATE. An application was made by the Bangor Club for a change of da.te of the final for thie North Wales Junior Cup. Upon the motion of Mr Briercliffe, seconded by Mr Weekes, it was decided to leave the Secretary to fix the date. COLWYN BAY'S EXPLANATION. The Assistant Secretary to the Colwyn Bay team writes as follows with reference to the Denbigh-Colwyn llay protest:—It w.ù.1I oil November 21st that the game with Greenfield was played, Colwyn Bay sending1 tlheir reserve team and keeping their first eleven at home to meet) Denbigh in the Junior Cup. The goal- keeper of the reserve forces was W. E. Roberts, and in the later stages of the game he played on the right wing This is the player over whom tho mista-ke has been made, and for whom B. Roberts has been taken. E. Roberts, it should be understood, did not join the Colwyn Hay team until December 22nd, his League form bearing' that date. He has proved a valuable "find," so that it can hardly be conceived if he played at Greenfield as suggested, that he should have be-an left for a month without a game. lie de his first League appearance at Llanrwst 011 Boxing Day, and played his first cup match against Denbigh at Denbigh on January 30th. Our Secretary had then to write the Association's Secretary, asking if he was eligible, so that on that evidence alone it seems clear that a mistake has boen made. We have abundance of evidence to bear this out."
RHYL COUNTY COURT.
RHYL COUNTY COURT. INSTALMENTS UNDER ADMINISTRATION ORDERS. This court was held on Friday, before His Honour Judge Mo-is. FURNITURE CLAIMED. His Honour gave his decision in the case of Rudland v. Roythorne. It appeared that Mr Rudland. solicitor, Rhyl, had obtained judgment against Mr Roythorne, late of the Queen's Arms, Rhyl. Execution was issued, but Mrs Roy- thorne paid JE2 17s 4d into court, and claimed the furniture seized as her property. The case had been adjourned from a previous oourt in order that Mrs Rovthorne's father could give ovidenoe on her behalf. Mrs Roythorne testified that she had been given furniture by her father on going to the Queen's Arms, and that furniture had been re- moved to her residence. Mr Betts, Uttoxeter, said he gave his daughter (Mrs Roythorno) several articles when she was about to be married, and they were sent to the Queen's Arms. While in Rhyl to look over the house he attended a sale at the Corn Exchange, and purchased other things, all of which he gave to his daughter,, and they were now claimed by her. In cross-examination, Witnesi said he was prepared to swear to the goods, which he could tell by the marks thereon. Mr Rudland contended that he was entitled to the goods as the claimant had not made out her case. At first she claimed all the furniture, and afterwards altered that to certain articles. The Judge said he was certain that the claimant was entitled to a number of articles, and she would have those back, but the other goods would either have to be sold or the bailiff's valuation taken. Whatever that valuation waa Mr Rudland would be entitled to, and after Mrs Roythorne had taken the value of her goods out of the L2 17s 4d in court Mr Rudland would have the remainder, but he did not think it would be much. He ordered each party to divide the fees and pay their own costs. APPLICATION TO REINSTATE A CASE. Mr H. Percival Williams referred to the case of Messrs Peter Edge, Ltd., Rhyl, versus Mr Fred. Wallis, in which there was a claim for specific performance of an agreement. He said there had been a misunderstanding as to the withdrawal of the action, and he asked for it to be reinstated. It was understood that if his firm did not hear anything from Mr Gamlin (who acted for the defendant) on a certain day they were to take it that the matter was settled, but after the case was withdrawn a letter was received savincr the terms were not. ao-i-fwl Mr Gamlin said his version of the arrangement was a different one, and he had no objection to the case being reinstated if the Judge had power to do so. The correspondence between the parties clearly showed the attitude he had taken up. The Judge reinstated the case, the costs to be the costs of the action. WARNING TO DEBTORS. His Honour had before him a number of debtors who were behind in their instalments under administration orders. In one case 916 had been paid in nine years, while in another case 15s had been paid in 42 months. This debtor said he was out of work. The Judge: Do you think beer has much to do with it? Defendant: No, I don't think. The Judge: Are you a teetotaller? Not quite. The Judge: I should think that something must account for it. You will have 14 days unless you pay 5s per month. Addressing another man the Judge said: Look here, unless you pay your instalments there is 28 days in store for you. His Honour said he wished it to be under- stood that he would insist upon instalments under administration orders being regularly paid. A MONEYLENDER'S CLAIM. Mr Wolfe Jackson, a Manchester moneylender was the plaintiff in a judgment survimong case' and when his representative was asked the age ] of the defendant, he replied that it was about 1 54. Mr. Roberts Jones (defending) asked the wit- ■ ness if he^ would be surprised to know it was 84. .ine witness said that had nothing to do with the case. He did not believe that the man was more than 54, and all he wanted was the 10s per month the defendant had offered to pay. This Mr Jones denied, and said the man's relatives had said they would try and pay. He then explained to his Honour how the debt was "piled up." The defendant borrowed £10 in January last year, and signed a note for C17 10s, to be repaid at :63 per month, but there was a clause that Id per. week per Is was to be charged as interest on arrears. In June there was no instalment due, yet Mr Jackson said there was C12 5s 8d due. Of that sum £ 6 15s 6d was for interest. Then process was taken in the Salford Court of Record, And although in all £ 17 10s had been paid on an original debt of JB17 10s the plaintiff was now sued for B14 2s 10d. It only showed how matters were worked under the note. His Honour said it was too late to raise, that question now, and the only thing he had to do was to find whether the defendant could pay. Mr Jones said the defendant was 84 years of age, and had no income except from his children. His Honour said he was bound to make an order, and he did so for 5s per month, so that the defendant, will be nearly 90 when the debt is cleared.

———————— A Professional Player's Routine. SOME USEFUL HINTS FOR ASPIRING YOUNGSTERS BY W. BROWN (Late Bolton Wanderers and Aston Villa). The early months of the football season bring with them to the profession- al player certain questions as to training which are both hardy and annual. These questions in the main are dictated by two reasons, one the increasing curiosity of the spectator to know more about his pets of the playing arena, and the other that of the young player who is desirous of gaining from practised hands know- ledge that will be useful to himself. As a general rule, professional players begin training about the first week in August. There are, of course, exceptions to this rule. Many footballers are ex- cellent cricketers in fact, some few are members of county teams, and these men are generally granted leave. Asa matter oi fact, players of this type can scarcely ever be out of training. But for the ;arge number of players who do not indulge to any extent in the summer sport, the training at first is easy and gentle, consisting mainly of kicking and shooting practice and walking. Gradually the exercise is increased, and the two Saturdays previous to the opening of the season are given up to practice matches—these in many local- ities benefit the hospitals and charities of the district-which are interesting on account of the keen competition for places. Many of the larger professional clubs can turn out a fine cricket e!even from amongst their number, and matches 1 are in many instances arranged. This is not only a good method of keeping players in condition, but it is a nice way of getting the old and new among the members acquainted with each other I may mention that, speaking gener- ally, the First League player does some- what more training, as the word may be applied to special exercise, than the Southern League player, as the latter is more often called upon to perform in mid-week matches. THE USUAL PROGRAMME. Sprinting is the first exercise the trainer puts his men through. The player is usually expected to do four or five sprints of from seventy to eighty yards in length, and he may do one or two laps extra, just as he feels, in order to develop his staying power. Taken as a rule, this is a good amount of running, and it is followed by ten to fifteen minutes' skipping, or exercises with the dumb-bells or clubs and punch- ball practice. These I will describe in detail later. This will be a good morn- ing's work, and if training is indulged in the afternoon it will be on somewhat sim-. ilar lines. Such will be the order through- out the season, although with most clubs one day a week is recognised as walk- ing day," when the players, accompanied by their trainer, take a long tramp into the country. Many clubs also do not require their players to train on the day previous to a match, and the men are given practically a free day. For special matches, such as import- ant Cup-ties or League games having a bearing on the Championship, many teams send their players away for a course of training. The exercises under- gone by the men are much as they are accustomed to, but the change of air and the regulated and special diet have a beneficial effect upon them. As can easily be imagined, there is a tendency for the "great match" to get on the player's mind, and so cause a nervousness which must neutralise all the trainers' efforts. Hut everything possible is done to counteract this. The players engage in billiards and bagatelle games, and there is a probable visit to the theatre. In fact, the change of en- vironment in itself is a counteracting agency. THE MAN IN CHARGE. Much of the success of a team is, un- doubtedly, due to the trainer, always supposing that he has good players at his command. All clubs possess at least one trainer, and many clubs em- ploy a head trainer, with one or more assistants, To my mind the best man for this position is an old player, although some clubs engage pedestrians of some repute. Not only- does the experience of the former, gained during his own train- ing, stand him in good stead, but his knowledge of football is invaluable, and he is often able to give advice to his directors. Many a player has com- menced his professional career in a position not altogether suitable to him, but thanks to the trainer has found his right place in the team, and often made a name for himself in it. Having given a geneia" idea of the professional's day, I will descend some- what to details for the benefit of the young and aspiring players in junior teams and others who desire to improve thetr speed and stamina, two essentials for any who hope to attain prominence in our winter pastime. No matter how skilful a player may be with the ball, or how good his knowledge of the game, in class football he may be as nothing. How often has one not heard this critic- ism of some young player making his debut with a professional team, He knows the game. but he is too slow." A course with the trainer and this lack of speed will soon disappear. SPEED AND STAMINA. Has one, too, not seen the Corinthian team hold its own with the best profes- sionals for the better part of the game, and get beaten at the end owing to lack of stamina? So the young and skilful player must keep before him these words, speed and stamina," remembering these can come by systematic practice, and .with- out in any way interfering with his trade or profession. Let him set aside two evenings a week for practice. I should recommend Tuesday and Thurs- day. If one can get to train on 4 grass or cinder track so much the better, but failing these an unfrequented part of the public road is not a bad substitute, al. though in the latter case one cannot wear running pumps. An old pair of football boots without studs will do very well, though the player is not likely to be- come as speedy under these conditions as under the former. A distance of about eighty yards should be measured off, and three sprints along this will be sufficient for one evening. Take care of the start and practice this. Get from the mark as quickly as possible, and spring from the toes. Do not always run straight, but get accustomed to running in a zig-zag fashion. This will give facility and quickness in turning, the ad. vantage of which is obvious. After sprinting try a quarter of a mile run in order to gain staying power. SKIPPING AND PUNCH-BALL. Follow this with some minutes' skip- ping, about five to ten minutes will 1 e ample. Next take on punch-ball, whicn I strongly recommend, as it is a wonde:. I ful chest developer. This exercise can be easily arranged for, and a player can set up all that is required for himself. An old Association ball is admirable, but let it be free from patches, otherwise gloves will have to be worn when punching. I Boxing gloves are most suitable. A set of Sindow developers are also most useful things to possess. They are not expensive, and can be set up behind one's bedroom door. But little room is required for their use, and they take only a short time to arrange and also to take duv n. A few minutes' practice with this apparatus morning and evening wiii soon produce a wonderful effect for the belter in a placer using them. The Indian clubs and dumb-bells may also be used, and for anyone who wishes to do so effectively, and is at a loss for exercises, I can strongly recommend Sindow's book on physical culture. In most cases sufficient walking is done to and from business or work, as the case may be. Many players recommencing training suffer more or less with a creeping of the muscles. This is due to a tightening of the muscles of the leg, and is caused by 10 much unaccustomed toe work. To remedy this, sponge down the affected parts, fi: st in hot soda-water and after- wards in ordinary cold water, and finally massage in warm olive oil. This wii bring about the desired effect and pre vent a recurrence of the trouble. Be careful not to apply soda-water to bruised parts. If any young players are desirous ol improving themselves I can confidently recommend- to their notice all that 1 have here written. Not only will their footbrll improve, but they will scarcely feel any effects from their Saturday's game, however heavy be the field or un- desirable the climatic conditions.
