IWHAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY…
WHAT HAPPENED ON THE WAY BACK. [8PEC!AL TO "EVENING EXPRESS."]! With all match responsibilities -remo-vel through the action of the cold snap which iron-bormd the 'Varaity ground, the Newport I-eam found themaelves with the remainder of the day at their disposal for a walk round. Joyda. (correct pronunciation) Hodges re- membered that he had forgotten to call upon his medical friends. Be was particularly 9,nxiooa to cultivate the acquaintance of M.B/a, M.D.'s. or M-any things on the off- thance of srettin? a. non-gla.ndicnla,r protnber- a.nce—that ia, a- conunon srarden boil—removed on the Theap from the skin of his neck. Joydsb kept aaking everybody to feel this lump on his neck. This being done with the gravity worthy of a better cauae, Joyda. would ask for opinionN aa to what it waH. One said it was heart diaeaee, another swelled head, and a third solemnly diagnosed it aa a bone in the throat. yor my own part, I put it down to pocketi- cular gatheration of matter brought about by drinking Julienne clear soup with too great regularity. When Joyda heard that Mike Roben, the Watsonian half, was a rally Cedged doctor, he followed him about like a new man Friday after a new Cruaoe. He begged him not to leave without spearing the said lump. He implored him not to hot offended at his continuous solicitation for atabe, but that he could not forget his lump amiction, inasmuch as it rubbed against his collar. To all of which the doctor replied.— "Not at at)," and promised to attend to his case early in the morning. Whereat Joyda was pacined. and we all Milled forth to look for Griff. Griff is a distinguished 'Varsity man with hundreds of medals for domg things in doc- tory. Welsh to the backbone, and even tem- pered at that, he succeeds in making Welsh visitors feel at home. Nothing is too mu&h trouble for him. "Semper idem." which Tom Williams Bays means Always the sajno," i3 wtucl: on his cap, and he acte up to it. He introduced us to Sport Scott. Dr. Turner. &t)0 to the Pheasant and the Fairy G<xl- mother. Now. to prevent any misconception. I must teJl you at once that the Fairy Godmother M a man. He is, further, a medical man. His title of Godmother waa conferred npon him for his largeheartedness. He tthareth his substantial substance among his fellows. The medical is not always a rich man. Incidental expenses often lead to a depleted treasury. When finances are low the Fairy Godaiotber come forward and wa-vea hia wand. Then there is the Pheasant. What a good pheasant it was; plumage beautiful to be- hold. He waa christened the Pheasant by us, because it did one good to behold him. He was a feast for the) eyes. ? And Sport Scott, whom Joyda. would insist Wpoa 40alling Scott Snort. Whereat we !auched I MaMy timee. Sport has won his title beca.uae he is a. really good sport. He came round as a forward with the &rst 'Varsity team that played in Wales. He remembered & certain referee called D. H. Bowen &wa.rding a try to Swamaea.. which he, Sport Scott, thought was not a. try. And he told th&t &-tid referee the story of how he had clasped the 'try getting to prevent the try, and had prevented the try. But the referee gave it. But as a. aport he had bowed to hia decision. He told me this taJe a.bont 45 times. And he called me "Bone" each time. Dear old Sport. Many happy honra were spent with Griff.. the Fairy Godmother, the Pheasa-nt, a.n<t Sport Scott. We sat in a. windowed niche until the stars were plainly seen on or through the window panes. The Godmother told ua fairy tales. Li--tom little librettos. And all the while Joyda.'s neck adornment restled his collar. What a. pdty it is that Friends must cart! I Why cooldn't we all sit ta that windowed niche for ever, with the same companions and the aame stars? Was it worth the meet- ing bat to Jmow the pangs of p<artin&? Ah, y. 'Tia better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. So, the morning coming, we wished them a tend good-night. We went to bed. And now we come to the last day. Saj'apa. told as that the card contained nine more hit-uma. Item the nTat, Breakfast, nine o'clock sharp, waa carefully lone through. It didn t aCect us much. Item the aecond was, Farewella !tt the station and "Antd Lang Syne.* Now. there is no more Voice destroying preparation I than "Auld Lang Syne.* I ha.ve known strong men start & banquet with a. supply of cleaz resonant tones and nnish up quite huaky by singing "Auld Lang Syne." There were Kelts in plenty to see the team &wa.y, and the fareweUa were mind ctTishera. To rousing cheers the train stea-med out of the station at 10.15 a..m., and the item cor- responding thereto, as well as the next, were faithfully observed. Here they aj-e, aa per programme:— 10.15 ajm.—Leave Edinborgh. Taought too deep for words until- 1.0 p.m.—Luncheon. After luncheon ft very interesting ceremony waa performed: the whole of the team and frienda foregathered in that particular por- tion of the saloon where Harry Packer was groanmg. I He who held the reins looked for the joke. When he was properly encased, so that there could be no escape, (:reorge Boots spoke out. He said that the trip the nrst Welsh Rugby club had made to Scotland had been so enjoyable, and that it had been made so largely by the delicacy of the handltng of the reina by the chief whip. that the players, ajid friends had secretly combined to present him (Mr. Packer) with a slight token of esteem in the shape of a pocket- book. with a suitable engraving on the frontis- p'ece. And. added George, all dished him long life and prosperity. He then handed the token over, a splendid pocket-book, bearing the inscription aome- <thiog as follows— Presented to Mr. Harry Packer by the Newport players on the occasion of the First Welsh Club tour to Scotland, Nov., 1903. Barry Packer's face was a study while all thus was going on. He waa so dumbfounded that he even forgot to twirl hia mou&- tache. an oversight which showed, more than <mything else, his mind collapse. He handled the pocket-book only indifferently we'I for <M)me time, as though he doubted ita reality. When called upon by the captain to say "a few words," he woke as from -a reverie. He said he waa quite at a ioas to know what to say. He also aaid that it would have been impossible for him to have given aa-tisfaction unices all ha<i co-operated with him in the way they had. He would treasure this pttoket-bcok as long as he lived. And to the ceremony end<'d. His last word htmc in my memory. I was eo glad that an umbrella (which was on the tapis) had not Men chosen aa ths present, for then Harry) could not have said h& would Treasure it as tong as he Hved. One can't treasure an umbrella.. Some other treasurer sneaks it. At two p.m. Wally Jones was due for a lecturette on Sweet Perfumed Remem- branoea." But Wally is ever a. disappoint- ment. He had been commiti.ing this to memory for days. and now at the hour of oction he could only exclaim: "Excuse me tnuCHnx. boys' I'm tired of ueing my hand- tt.eirctnef." a.t which Mr. Frost and Willie Llewellin amiled aweetty. Doth tb<:ee have Mt eye for beauty-that is, bea,aty of rema-rk. The, train thudded on. Te& a.t 4.30 p.m., with 40 winks at five p.m., were fairly observed, and then the final feast of dinner at 6.15 arrived all too eoon. At Pontypool Road the Sret disintegrating movement took place. Beddoe Thooias (who ca.n sing one v'erse of 'ihs Anchor's Weighed" better than anybody bar the other Thomas) atact CliS' Pritchard left us. Here it was that Adama anxiously inquired of Wetter whethef there were any ahops Ejea.r. Adams had for- gotten to buy presents at Edinburgh, and waa ajixioaa to buy Scotch presenta anywhere. Bat he failed here. Noah'a Ark woie his next change. Preparations to disband were now ?oing ou. B&ta, coats, and bags were apportioned. The iMt item was, 7.34 p.m.—Arrive .Newport. TFinia. "Ah!" said the Thomas who had kept na <U roaring. We'll have several helpings of Finis. Conc!us!on. I If amy of the tonriats can say that. their cap of enjoyment was anything than fttll to the brim then I say their joys are not of thM world. Two outstanding features of the trip were the wiedom and wit. The wiadom of the manasement, which showed forethought and ttfter thought; the wit of the pia.yera, which I eent the whole tour along at a merry rattle. Enjoyment to the hf!t.

I A PEMBROKE MAN'S PERIL J
I A PEMBROKE MAN'S PERIL J DR. SLATER'S TABLETS END CONSUMPTION I AND CHEST WEAKNESS. The greatest scourge of our race is consump- tion, and this dread disease threatened the life of Mr. P. Ba-teman. of Llys-y-drew, Mathry; when happily Dr. Slater's B. M. TaJbIets secured his aaivation. To the "Pem- broke County Guardian" reporter he said:— "For eleven years I worked in the pit. and the damp and bad air of the place gradually undermined my health. I felt weak and lan- guid, and had a- nasty cough..My flesh seemed to be gradually wasting away. People said I was going oiF in a. consumption, and advised me to go back to the farm, or I should die. So I tried to work as a teamster at Briton Ferry, but one day I was caught in a heavy shower, and was soaked to the skin. This knocked me up. and my chest became worse. I was & pitiable colla-pse. acd people thought it waa all 'over with me this time. My br$ath was abort and painful; a severe pain would catch me in the pit of the stomach, followed by hours and hours of coughing. So bad was the cough that I apa.t blood, and was kept awake night after night. I was reduced to a shadow, and got so weak that I could not even raise myself in bed. For three years I seemed to be getting weaker, and I felt sure that I should never be really my&elf again. No doctors were abie to relieve my terrible agony, and it waa not until after reading of Dr. Slater's Tablets, and then trying them that I gained any relief. After a course of the tablets my breathing became easier, my bodily vigour returned, the distressing cough and fatigue vanished. I am quite recovered from the symptoms of consumption, and can now work as hard as ever I did. The- tablets hare done wonders fpf me." Dr. Slater's Tablets have proved invaluable for all kinds of debility and waNting, chest complaints, the early stages of consumption. anaemia., nervous weakneae, pale aJtd sallow complexions, indigestion, dyspepsia, palpi- tation. heart-weakaees. nervous headache, neuralgia,, sciatica, rheumatism, gout, lum- bago, "decline," paralyses. locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, spinal disease, skin erup- tions, and all ailments due to weak, watery. or impure Mood. As a preventive of colds and innuenza.. as wel! as a restorative after inauenza. Dr. Slater's B. M. Tablets are also very effective. Of all chemists, or direct from the Slater Laboratories.

Where the cause and b,.aine should be placed is not. a matter for my concern, sin-ce the decisions h:ne been given, out. all the same, all these things are rough luck on the Splott Clat) as a club. Doubtless, they will come up smiling after their dimcnities, as they have done in the paat. They have a good record, and'are one of Cardiff's collec- tion of smart junior combinations, for one thing, they can show a. good record against. the Albion dating back some seasons, and they have a gooo. man at. tne helm in Mr. Oaswell. Hafod v. Merthyr Vale is always produc- tive of good sport, and last Saturday s league t6atch was no exception to the gene- ral statement. The Valiana tra-veiled to Rafod with plenty of conndence. but the Rhondda men at home are aa dinicult a team to beat as any I know. Keen, keen a3 an east wind was the game, but fonght out in the L jt of spirit, and referee Tom Owen's decisions were always acceptable to both. On this form Hafod should juet pull through their cup tie with Treharris .Keservca, which ended in a, draw of three goala each a, fort- night ago. It is with great regret that I tun prevented from accepting the invitation to hold the whistle in thia future. Perhaps I may \Mit JIafod in the new year. Ill try to. I am always pleased to receive questions. as I did laat seaaan, and. although they are not treated in a separate column, thls one is always open for any question and answer. I aim at making this column of interest to every Soccer follower in South Wales, although I am quite aware that my performances with the pencil do not always reach my ideal. H. S. from Barry, says: "In all proba- bility the ball is going to roll over the goal- line. and with the hope of reaching it and turning it back into the front of goal a. for- ward t3 putting on hi? best sprint. The goalkeeper sees his intention, and, in plain words, tripq him up. Can a. penalty kick be given, seeing that the tripper' is the goal- keeper? Certainly, a penalty kick should be given. A goalkeeper has privileges which no other member of the eleven possesses. To men- tion one, he can use his hands to play the baJL In moat of the other conditions he is no different from the other players. A penalty kick can be given for a. trip by any of the players, the goalkeeper not excepted. The penalty kick itsm says to the goalkeeper, Thou sbalt not do six things, and to the other ten players, thou shalt not do any either or all of seven offences. A Forth correspondent also aaka a. question. If the goalkeeper punches the ball from a corner-kick back direct to the -kicker, may the latter play the ball?—Yea. It ie all right. The baU has been played by a second flayer when it reaheiO the man who took the corner- kick. If the ba-11 had rebounded off the up- right it would have been a. different matter, but that Ls going beyond the question sub- mitted. It will never do for me to say every- thing in this week's instalment, or I might have nothing to say another week. I My impressions of Barry District's Ie&gu<' ma-tch with Treha-rrie laet week were given at some considera-ble length in last Satur- day's Football "Expreas." No need to play on that string again this week, except to mention thrt Soccer football eeems to have passed successfully through its had time, and is looking up in a manner which must be gratifying to those, who are working in the cause. The welfare of the pastime aeema to bo in good .hands; at least, I am aure it is. with Mr. Pauley as the secretary. The committee must have been pleased with the result—four to one against the old rivals of Treharris'—and there was also a very fair {rate to witness the Barry men gain the two league points. This gives Barry a respect- able position on the table of reauks. If anyone can spare an hour from the pastime of the pursuit of the hidden twenty pounds he might spend the time easily in lesa enjoyable ways than by strolling to LlandaC Ficlda next Saturday morning a.t half-past ten. Two elevens of the Ca.rdiS' acboolboys will be doing their beat to gain places in the team to represent Cardiff in the inter-towTi matches. The East plays the West next Saturday, and if the youngsters play up to the form which has gained them their places in this triaJ matcl) there will be a tussle every whit. as interesting as will be s&en in ajiy senior match you like to name. If you don't believe me, go to Llaji- dan Fie'da. and then I'll guarantee you will endeavour to see the inter-town match Car- diff v. Barry on Boxing Day morning. The &rst half of the league's matches concludes this morttiug with the two matches which have been po&tponed through bad weather. .Next week I ehal! endeavour to remember not to forget to remember that I might do worae than write a. paragraph a.bout the past ha-If season's {fames.

For the ar-:t time th;s Masom Rivcraide tumed out "36 advertised," and this :JohOW8 a decided improve- ment.

This indicates an even- neM about the play of both sidea that should greatly eBcfurage the loaers and stimulate them to further effort.

HaySn Price is becoming a, favourite, and la a worfny addition to the hali'-ba<;k line. Wither!, question. Wedlock, Parker. and Pii<e are the unest bait-back line playing in South Wales to-day. Bernard Lewis, who replaced Archie Davies. is a niemtor of the Thistles team, who de- feated Brecon in the Adelaide Shield. Although exnib'ting signs of nervousness, he effected some really cisver saves. I Willie Read is rapidly becoming a good I marl, and his combination with Tommy Daniell leaves little to be desired.

After last Wednesday's meeting it is sin- cerely hoped that peace and harmony will reign. in the ea-ecleoj2 club. A dead set was made apparently against the late cat tain; some plain talking was indulged in. and thua probably cleared thtt air and prevented any mistmderstand'uig. Uttimately a new ca<p- tain and Yice-capta.in—Measra. Hopkins and I Dent—were eiect&d. {)jid in the interoate of the team it is hoped they will receive the hearty co-opeTation of all members.

The ga,!ne wa,s splen- didly contested. a.nd wa,3 fua of excitement from beginning to end. T.he score of two goals to one is a. fa-ir criterion of the dtne- rence between the two teajns.

The Monmouthsaire men qonJirmcd their abilities as prolific scorers by I Benetrating the blanbiadaeh defence on n'j le&a than eeven occasions. Ll,anbrada.ch nelded with a rather dis- jointed team, but to make matters 'Von;e, trrundy had the miafortunte to dislocate hM should-er when the game had been in prcgres3 some few minutes. Griffiths was also forced to retire through accident for about thirty minutes, so that the score does not tairly represent- Lla,nb1"adah under anything like ordinary circumstances,. Some of Mr. Bartlejtt's decisions did not please the visiting contingent, alLh'jugh ro :one could expect a. referee, who has a failure of giving his decisions from the circle in niid-&eLd, any infringement within the penalty area. Mr. Bartlett may in the eyes of some people be a referee of the nrat water, but he certainly does not count much in the estimation of a. Lianbradach crowd. I
MERTHYR VALE.I
MERTHYR VALE. I Hafod are to be congratulated on the;r Tietory over Merthyr Vale last Saturday. Both teajns found the net. and the only diffe rence was that the home team netted two :nlB to the valians, on<. The whole of the* Merthyr Vale players plaved good f()tbalI, and are only ons pomt behind Hafod in the junior leigue table. The. are confident of a.gain winning the champion ship this season.

PONTLOTTYN. I
PONTLOTTYN. I Tredegar. having failed through maajicia! diniculties to continue their games in the league touriaey, Pontlottyn were without a match on &aturday last. A good game. h<yw3ver, was witnewed on the Duffryn Field, when the Reserves enter- ta-ined the Aberdare Creacents. The B ee vea. who are the proud possessors of an nnbea.te.1 certinoate, have secured play&rs who show a gns of developina; into fine acquisitions for the nrst eleven. Jun Davies, the captain. and Mose Phillipe are showing oonsMtent form. Soccer enthuaiasts in thia district are eagerly looking forward to MT. Mercer's- l&c- tnre on the game at the General Picton Hotel on Monday evening next. The honour of originating lectures by ench prominent men in the Soccer world aa Mr. Mercer rests wit hthe Pontlottyn committee who invited him to pay a visit before the referees' society considered the matter. The ou-p-tie question versus Rhymney has now been &naily decided, and Pontlottyn will meet Tydu Od'etfeUowa on December 28Mi at Pontlottyn.

PENARTH. Ti I South W<t!<a Soccerites will regret to hear that Serge!mt Keily is leaving the district very shortly to t&ke up an appointment in Ceylon. It is to hoped he will come acrosa Quarter-master Sergeant Quieten in due couraf, and we must not be surprised to hear of a South Wales eleven in the tea country ere long. The Parish Church played a re,arranged forward line in their match og,,Lin.3t the Gramma.r School at Cowhridce las? weak, and the change proved moat eitecUvc. with the result that the visitors won by three goaJe to nil. It. is clbout time the Church had deSnitely nxed their team, ng while all this changing j' s going on they can never expect to combine. I A splendid game was witnel- ise-d at tne Sophia. Gardene last weel< between the Church Reserves ajid Riverside Reserves. The visitors proved themselves superior in all depart- ments, and it was only the grand defence shown by the homesters' goalkeeper that stopped the Church from putting on a larger score than three goals to one.
PORTHI
PORTH I The Forth team are having more than their share of ill-luck this season. Last Saturday Port Talbot wero due at Forth to play a. league match, but, they wired to say they could not come. This was hard tines to the homesters, aa they had falty prepared for the match, and, to make matt'Ta worse, it hap- pened to he the ppcond d-ga-ppointment for Forth tbM aeajton. It is to be hoped that the league committee will deal strongly with the&a clubs.
