It was hesuded behind by Price, and then Woo.sr.am got hold of the leather, and, defving the efforts of Edwards and Cross, either to take it from him or knnzk him over, got it right up to gopj, where the defenders played in touch.

J A sharp struggle took place, and the bail nearly put through, the goalkeeper, however, managed to use his hands over the heads of the others, and the ball was got away. J. Danes returned it and the goalkeeper again stopped the shot. The Wrexham men retaliated with 1 an att-ick on the Sta-s' goal, but without effect, the ball f going behind, the goalkeeper stopping the first shot. After some sharp play Woosnam played the ball over the boundary, about the middle of the ground, and < Cross sent it up. T. Pryce, however, made a good í return, and Andrew took it behind the Wrexham lines. S. Davies next got a run, and Edwards played the bali awav from goal, and it was again passed into the Stars' < territory, and behind their goal by Evans. Pees got the ball out of a scrimmage in front of hisgoai. but J played it in touch. A free kick was given to the Stars, for a foul by Cross, and another for hands shortly after, 1 the ball being got away from the Wrexham goal, after the latter, and returned to the centre. Woosnam soon- ] got hold of it on the ricrht and made a run, and had J obtained a throw in when half time was called. < The Stars now got the wind in their favour, but it ] had lulled a little. The struggle was commenced in 1 Wrexham territory, Bees sending the ball behind. Wrexham got a free kick for hands, and Owen sent the 1 ball well up to, and it was afterwards sent behind the Stars' goal. Another free kick had been given to the same side when Gittins made a smart run, and Thomas took a shot at goal.

Murless kicked the ball away, but not far enough, as Rees sent ths- ball into the goalkeeper's hands, and the latter threw it be- hind and gave the Stars a "corner." S. Davies made a well-directed kick, and a struggle in front of goal re- suited in anothei-corner kick from the goalkeeper. This j l was put behind the lines, and the Wrexham forwards, by some clever passing, took the ball into the Stars' quarters. T. Pryce got the ball back, and Thomas sent it behind the lines. S. Davies made a good shot at the Wrexham goal, and the goalkeeper stopped it. Rees, however, not zo be denied, made a smart kick with his left foot, sent the ball between the posts, and secured a goal just at five o'clock. This was received by an out- burst of enthusiasm. Some good play followed, eventually becoming slow for a few minutes, it then quickened, and the ball was taken towards the Wrexham goal, and back towards that of the Stars. The latter got a free kick in the middle, and S. Davies took a shot at goal, the goalkeeper stopped it, and J. Price took it up near the Stars' goal. S. Davies next. got the ball near the Wrexham goal, and headed it to the goalkeeper, who put it away, and after Gittins had played in touch Lloyd made a good run, and landed the ball behind the line, but rather wide. The same player again got the ball near the Stars' goal, and Price headed it towards it. The goalkeeper was, however, equal to the occasion, and the ball was returned to the centre of the ground, and kicked in touch by .Tas. Davies (who had relieved Andrew as forward). Hands gave Wrex- ham a free kick near the Stars' goal, which Cross nicely placed. Rees got the ball away, but it was returned, and another scrimmage took place in front of the goal. Again the defenders prevailed, and took the offensive, Geo. Thomas putting the ball over the Wrexham goal. The Wrexham forwards again took the initiative, and got the ball in their opponents' quarters, but it was returned thence, and sent behind their own linr". Gittins took a long shot, which the goalkeeper stopped, and the backs got away. Morgan returned the ball, and S. Davies played in touch, and Wrexham got a free kick for hands, but it was of little avail, as the Stars again renewed the attack. Evans made a long run. but could not pass the Stars' backs, who played in touch. Gittins sent the ball up, and Thomas made a splendid side shot, which struck the bar. Soon after time was called. The Wrexham team appeared to be demoralized by the fast play of their opponents, and PricD, Cross, Edwards, Lloyd, and T. W. Davies were the only ones who exhibited any form. The credit of mitigating the defeat is, however, entirely due to the goalkeeper. "■ Of the victors all worked hard t attain the result, and their captain (Gittins) deserves every credit for the manner in which he worked up and handled his team on the ground. The White Stars had to play no less than seven matches, s-nd Wrexham only four. The duties of umpires and referee were discharged by Messrs. J. P. Davies (Corwen), E. Hamer (()swestry), and A. E.
