Saturday. one couid hardly credit that an international game WAS being fought -at Cardiff. Those ardent supporters who recia-ined at home to see the Maesteg and | Abenavon match were amply rewarded. The- game was good la-s a spectacle, although somewhat marre-d by the frequent whistling of the referee. When Maesteg visited the sea- sick-rs. a drawn game resulted. Their chances for this u.atch, therefore, seemed; somewhat bright, and anticipations were not disappointed. for the homesters romped home by two tries to nil. Both clubs fielded their strongest sides. Tlvt- game was chiefly confined to the for- wards; both octettes broucht off some bril- liant pieces of play, the home eight excelling in the loose. J. W. Davies ar.d M. Coleman were most prominent, the former displaying: great dash, ivhrle the latter put in some clever footwork. The tries were got by the halves. The one obtained by E. Evans was the outcome of a smart individual effort, and! the other by Bay- lias iN-a, the result of clever opportunism. Both halves are playing in great form, and Evan; Evans deserves a place in the next oriMv match. The threes were in merry mood. Well fed by the halves, they indulged! in several' bouts of passing, much to the delight of the spec- r tators. The star was J. W. Preece, whose attach r-?.s brilliart. W. Thomas displayed rare dash, and when on the move took a lot of stoppin-g. Ireland and Gnnru proved1 aware thalli a maid" for their opponents. At full back Maesteg were as usual welil served1. Sam Ackerman beinorat his best. both f in kicking and defence. If he continues to impr-r-c -t the «•?.me rite as this season. Tie should be heard much of twelve months iren-ce. Maesteg visit Mountain Ash to-morrow and I expect to see them return victorious. LLYXVI. MAESTEG RANGERS. After a series of stops, changes, jerks, "turns, and jnmp", the Vipers landed safely at Gilfach Station, and' on proceeding to the headquarters were very much amused with the scenery, espec i illy when the much-talked- ,of Tump came to -ight. The Rangers were more than pleased with the "welcome they received by 'the tip-top. all- round sports which Gilfach men undoubtedly are. Though they had to make the journey minus three of their players, they feared) not "the horrible stinging in store for them by the Wasp. Perhaps this was due to the melody discoursed on the march to battle and at the Tump by the Gilfach Silver Band. It W".s a gruelling game throughout, both tooms having a fair share of it. The Bangers' forwards played a rattling good game, getting the ball as often as the GUM, but owing to the sloppy condition of the field, the plucky and nimble pair of halves were very much handicaooed in opening the game. The threes were brilliant. 1. Thomas was in excellent form, and his bursts were magni- ficent. He should fret first place as centre tfoxeie^uarteT for the League. Icfris Davies. the full back. played the game his life. hi> excellent fielding and kicking proving a little too hot for the Gilfach boys. The pick of the forwards were W. J. Thomas. J. M. John. B. Howells. and W. D. Jones. The chief feature of the game was the way the GiKi men erdeavotrred to get the play on the Tump. But the Vioers were up to aid their little tricks. Where was the Waso? His buzzing was not sufficient to prevent the Vipers takinsr away one of his precious points and he should be thankful they left one be- hind. RANGER. MAESTEG LLYNYI BOYS. The Llynfi Boys' first encounter with the Greenfield Stars-sometimes termed the Crown Arabs-was played on the Stars' ground, which was in a wet condition on Saturday. The game ended- in a pointless draw. Of all the boys' teams nlaying at Maesteg. the Stars are the giants, and it is stated that one of the players is parried. The best of the Llynfi Boys' forwards were D. Preece, Evans, Brown and D. J. Davies. Although it was the first match for D. J. Davies, he did' remarkably well. The backs played a good attacking and de- fensive game. Of the" Stars J. and D. Thomas played, the beat game. The Church team wiTl be met to-morrow. BLAENGARW. The Keds had a double event last Saturday. At Cardiff the Rools were successful, and again at Pontycyminer. The wiru was in each oase by three points. I will not continue the paraHel any further, because there may be the danger of making Ponty look small- comparatively speaking! I will start my notes of the match by a con- mundirnm. Xmas is the qeason, for conun- drums. If the full back of A's team fails to Held a. balt and, a forward of B's team rushes up and touches down, what is it? If you send me a stamped addressed envelope. olid a sixpenny postal order. I'll tell you the answer. An answer such as this will not do. B's forward will leave the hall and the referee will come to mark the rlace and direct the ktick for goal. B's team will cheer while A's team will retire behind the goal line. The neferee will award a minor and' order a scrum fifteen yards out. The referee's decision is final The Infants played a great game. and would havk done some scoring if the match had been played to full time. As it was, we were one man short for the first quarter of the game. Ponty scored their try in the first half. whilst playing down the slope. The +rv was the result of some loose and scrappy play. When the Infants had the ad- vantage of the slope, Ponty were only able to get out of their owt half on two or three oc- casions. Our forwards played a great game. One would hardly think them the same pack as played Llanharrau on the previous Saturday. Thev completely beat the Pontv pack in the tight and the loose. Teddy TV illiams, the "new" infant, has footbalil in him. Hes go- ing to make a name. My vote this week goes to Hugh Evans, Richards and Jackob. Of the half-backs Tucker w-as by far the best on the field. Ponty acknowledged this by putting two inside halves to watch him. But were they always successful? Dick Phillips, at outside half. played, a champion game. But I want to see him at full back, because we have not got a really sound full back. All the threes were in form, and did some great work. It is to be regretted that they fail just at the right moment. Honkins was a. good handful for PQntv: they did not feel safe when be had the ball'. FEEDING BOTTLE. ¡ GILFACH GOCH. The Gilfach enthusiasts were all in a buzz last week on the appearance of the "Gazette" •and many were the speculations regarding "Wasp." Well, it strikes me very forcibly that there will be a greater buzz this week, and folks will, be more curious than ever to know who this mysterious "Wasp" can be when I have had my little say to players and 0001m ittee. Maesteg Rangers. were the visitors on the Tump last Saturday, and a hard and fast Same, ended in a pointless draw, which was t hard lines for the Rangers and good luck for Gilli. Just after half time "the shades of night were failing fast," and near the end of the game the players showed a spectre-like ap- pearance to the crowd. The Rangers, who looked like a lot of schoolboys on the field, sta-rted off with a bang. and actually cooped Gilfach in their own twenty-five for about ten minutes. This will not do. Giiii. You get good gates at present, but you will find that they will very soon dwindle into- "nowt" if this very indiffer- ent form is kept up. The Rangers had the best of the game all through, and showed a decided superiority in every department. Why? Because the Llynfi-ites train, while the Gilfachians go about with high-flown ideas as to their own prowess as footballers with the inevitable re- sult, that they get whacked. It is said players have told the committee that if they want training done they had better do it themselves. Yet the committee drop no one. As to the players, on Saturday George Jones bucked up and played- a very decent game. Indeed he was quite cool and 0111 several occasions kicked well. The threes, with the exception of Groves, did not show very good form. Groves played well. and showed himself to be a. tower of strength in the backs. Leyshon Evans is all there, and although on the midget side, he shows surprising dash and will go for any- thing. Dick White showed that the "sting'' has dbne him good he relayed a much better game than --it Bryiicethin. J. M. Jones showed the want of training. The halves played a good game behind a more or less beaten pack. Si Jones played his usuial safe game, while Ben Jones, who was completely out-classed by Stradling at scrum-working, played a decent game else- where. Xow we come to our "babes." They would make the best pack in the League if they would! only train. They were beaten in the tight and in the loose. Perhaps they would have excelled in the tight- if there were not so many passengers in the scrnm-they all pushed 011 times, and then the Rangers did not see the ball—but the back ranks are verv slow in finding an exit for the ball. Hares wa's the pick of the forwards. To-morrow we play Bridgon-d II.. at Bridg- end. Look out, Gilli I will be there, so be- ware of the sting of the WASP. PONTYCYMMER. Much interest was centred in. the match on, Saturday between two local teams, Blaengarw and' Poutycymmer, played at Pontycymmer in: favourable weather and before a good crowd of spectators, the record number of the season. Blaengarw kicked off. Griffiths finding touch in the Blaengarw 25. The visitors pressed, but were penalised for off-side play oy Tucker, half back. Poutycymmer retaliated, and Evans got over with a fine try. Richards failed with the kick. Pontycymmer were now penalised, but the visit-ore made a very poor attempt to kick a goal. This ended the first half. the home- sters leading by a try to nil. Hopkins, who. played1 a fine game for the visiting team, made a sorint down the field, and the home captain saved his side well, Great efforts were made by both sides to.. score, and Merrick and J. Owen, of Ponty- cymmer, were disabled. There was no more scoring, and the home- sters won by three points to nil. The match at Blaensrarw three weeks pre- viously endeod in a. pointless draw. GARWITE. LLANHARRAN. Llangyiiwyd paid a visit to the Recreation Ground last Saturday, and returned van- quished by 12 points to love. Notwithstand- ing the International match at Cardiff a very fair crowd attended. Llangynwyd kicked off. but Llanharran were-, soon pressing, and Jenkins opened the scoring with a lovelvdroo kick. It was quite a. surprise score, the visitors1 expecting Jen- kins to pass to his wing man, but he upset oa'lculationis. Jenkins well deserved the hie-arty cheers that were given him. Shortly afterwards W. Pascoe, taking ad- vant,age. of a mis-field bv the Llangynwyd fum back, dribbled' the ball over the line, when W. ShelMbeer touched it down, and scored' a good try. In the second half Llanharran aga im- pressed. and scored about 10 minutes from the end. A Llanharran forward gave a kind of Soccer pass in the loose to his captain, Barkle, who, after a brilliant corkscrew run, transferred to Gabe Williams, the latter scor- ing. Bowden converted with a well judged kick. It was a well contested game, fought In a friendly spirit, and unmarred by any un- pleasant incidents. Many bouts of passing were witnessed, to the keen delight of the spectators, who held a hicrh opinion of the visiting team's sportsmanlike play. The for- wards on both sides plaved a grand' game. Great credit is due to Mr. T. Bennett, the League secretary, for the excellentconirol which he displayed over both play and players. Indeed, the manner in which he checked! what might be called I ani-en- tary" language, marked him as a referee of high quality. And now to individulise. It was rather unfortunate for Litan,harrai-i that W. Jones and L. Williams suffered from strained! ankles. Towards the end of the second half, Jones and Williams, who are both wing men. showed a decided decrease in pace. But notwithstanding these disadvantages, they played very good football. Jenkins and J. T. Jones played very well at the centre positions, Jenkins being respon- sible for some smart work, while Jones did wonders in tackling. Barkle and Baker, at half. were really brilliant, and on many oc- casic'.is completely non-nlussed their eppon- ents. Pascoe, at full back, played a sound game, though on one or two occasions he ran- too much before. kicking and so diminished his chances of gaining ground by touch-finding. Of the forwards W. Pascoe comes first, his play on occasions reaching a very high stan- diard. He was ably supporte-d by C. Bowden, W. Shell'ibeer, Dewier, and Wintle. Of the Llangynwyd nlayers it can unhesi- tatingly be said ti- it the*- all played a hard. keen game, and. better still, a clean game. INNOCENCE. TALYGARN. A.F.C. Talygarn came a severe. cropper on the Ystrad ground last Saturday, being defeated' by no less th,Sn six goals to one. Jardine, North. Kelleher, and JncLmunds were absen- tees from the visiting side, and it is much to be regretted that more effoat is not made to send away a representative team. The field was in a deplorable condition1, being nothing mo-re than a great patch of mud and water. While the United men were able to sport in the water to their hearts' 'content, Talygarn were not able to keep their feet, and were utterly demoralised. For the first half, there was practically only one team in it. Twenty minutes after the start. Brownsey, the visiting custodian, mys- te-riously disappeared; he was eventual'ly seen to emerge from a large pool' of water near the goal mouth, drenclied to the skin. and immediately retired from the play. Smith going in go-ai. At the interval the United led by four goals to nil. With ten men, Talygsarii improved somewhat, and seemed to better adapt them- selves to tire wretched circumstances under which they were playing. The homesters notched- two more goals, and close on the call! of time, Talygarn scored through Sister. Smith, in goal, was the onlv man 011 the Talygarn side who deserves any special men- tion he brought off some very fine saves. In justice to Brownsey, it should be stated | that it was utterly impossible for him to s'ave any one of the four goals scored against him. Next Saturday Talvsrarn are away to Car- diff Y.M.C.A., and that, after this severe trouncing, they will do their utmost to send away a side worthy of the name of Talygarm A.F.C.. is the hope of CRITIC.

PORTHCAWL BUSINESS TAKEN OVER. The annual ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of R. E. Jones (Limited) was held at the Mackworth Hotel, High-street, Swansea. Mr. R. E. Jones (managing director) presided, and thera were present: Messrs. Stanley B. Jones (director), George H. Harvey (auditor), William Treharne (sec- retary), and a large number of shareholders. The directors' report and balance-sheet for the year ending October 31st, 1908, were adopted, and dividends at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum (free of income-tax) on the ordinary shares and 6 per cent. on the pre- ference shares were declared, this being the eleventh consecutive year that the dividend of 10 per cent. has been paid on the ordinary shares. An extraordinary general meetMig was held immediately after the close of the ordin- ary general meeting, at which the following resolution was submitted —" That the capi- tal of the company be increased to £ 45.000 by the creation of 15,000 new ordinary shares of £1 each, to rank pairi passu with the original share capital of the company of £20.000. and' to be postnoned and without prejudice, to the preference share capital of the company of £10,000. and that such new shares shall be issued to such peiisons and on such terms 'and conditions as the board may think fit." The Chairman explained that the proposal to increase the capital by £ 15,000 was for the purpose of enabling the company to pur- chase businesses at Cardiff and Porthcawl at the aggregate price of £ 45,000, payable in fully paid-up shares of the company. After some discussion, during which it was ad- mitted that the proposed amalgamation would materially strengthen the position of the company, the adoption of the resolution was proposed by Mr. J. F. Harvey, seconded by Mr. David Hinds, supoorted> by Mr. P. L. Mart ell, and carried unanimously, there being lio. dissentients. The board then, decided that the shares should be offered to thV ordinary share- holders pro rata, viz., in proportion to each shareholder's present holding. BETTWS COLLIERY COMPANY.

Those who try it are called faddists. But even the careful man may be- easily upset by a cold, an indiscreet dish, or some thoughtless self-indulgence which nature resents. In such a case, a safe but i-eliable Medicine like KERNICK'S VEGETABLE PILLS = will quickly right matters. These celebrated Pills are taken from Nature's own laboratory, then in a special manner concentrated by tlie mind and hand of man into a soluble and portable form, acting directly on the Liver and- Kidneys, thus cleansing the system of all impurities.
