 n?TT?f DRAW BATTLE CARDIFF SEVERELY TESTED A Try Disallowed GWYN NICHOLLS ANNOYED Dramatic Final Moment By PZKDRAGON." Rugby football is very much in the as- Jant at Leicester this season, and for the time being at all events the Association coc is quite in the background. Never before have the Rugbyites been favoured ?th  a big gate, and never before have they enjoyed euc-h prosperity from the playing as vreli as the financial standpoint. Thus it was that in the hotels and ca-fes at Leicester this morning one only heard dis- cus<~ed the prospect€ of the match between the Tigers and the famous Oarai Rugby team. Although the Fosse and Birmine a „ ?o playing at home this afternoon  where one encountered evldeB^ the advance in popular favour of tno g aDdold Rugby, and, quite -naturally, the from the Wel?h Metropolis were not dis- pleaeed with this. During the fore noon Mr. A. C. Crumbiethe, the ever genial secretary o?LT??oest?er Club, conducted ? party <?  commit- teemen and leading players to the club's compact and finely-app^ed ground, I where the Welshmen quite envious •h™ tL' lV' erected not Bince the new N ID other Eusbv club in at a cost of £1.2.00. No other Rugbv club in Grea,t Britain has ?ch a perfect pavilion, fer there is every  tcliHvers ? officials. and even the referee has a private room set apart f?? his use, nicely furnished and containing the bath. The ground ill the morning was a trifle JCft, but under the influence of a warm sun t had dried considerably by the • .1'1 was in excellent playing condition. THE TEAMS HOPEFUL. There was no mistaking the fact that the Tigers expected to win, for they held the VIew that the advantage of ground would be the determining factor in their favour On the other hand, the Cardiffiane also were very confident Every man of them WaíJ as fit as a fiddle, and they were all keenly anxious for success. They were greatly enocuraae by the knowledge that Gwyn kholls Wa^ • out, for the prince of  turning out. for the pretence ooi f t^he bri.lilriant veteran always means much to the blue and ?X? young forwards, too, were eager for thc fr?, and benl upon demo?t?u? that the hi?h opinion formed ? t viu in the past couple of matches was thcrc?h.? y ?. ?? Red. Thus all the portents pDintcd to a des- perately exciting game with the side showing just a. little superior finesse being likely to wi n. the writer that superior finesse was expected to be exhibited by the bold blue and blacks. Just after three o'clock the players turned out in this order:- T? ".?t.pr- Back, E. J. Jackett; three- quarters, ]?e.-rey Lawne, Kenneth Wood, J. D Smfttrand M. Flude; halves, J. E.

Referee. Mr. A. Andrews, London. Linesmen, Mr. J. Collier, Leicester, and Mr. John Davies, Cardiff. Because of the importance of the match the gates were opened earlier than usual, tid half an hour before play began there were several thuosand spectators present. Right at the last Cmoment it was foijnd that E. J. Jackett was too unwell to play at back for Leicester, and his pla.c.e was filled by Harry Lawrie, one of the forwards, while the vacancy in the pack was filled by R. c. Wat- chorn. The only other absentee from tie home Tegular players was Lieut. M'lntyre, one of the forwards. The sun was etill shining beautifully when the teams entered the a,fena, at fifteen minutes past three, but 16 it shone right across the ground it gave lot the slightest advantage to either side. There was hardly a breath of wind stirring, that the conditions were absolutely perfect ',or a faêt, pretty, and open game. RECORD OF FAST MATCHES. -Score- Date.

I In the presence of 10,000 spectators play commenced, with the .excitement at fever pitch. It was noticed that the Leic-estre forwards were much weightier than the CaCr- diff pack. Fred Smith started for the visi- tors, and from Dixie Smith's reply Dyke found touch with a fine kick right at the oorner fla-e. Scrummaging ensued close to the home line, but H. Laurie ga.ined some relief with a short kick to touch. W. Jenkins broke a/way beautifully, and running like a three-quarter there eeemed a great chance I for a. try, when he passed out, but the Oar- dff threes were so well favoured that they were unable to make further progress. Dixie Smith kicked up to Bob Williams, wbo saved well under difficulties, and play travelled bacK to the home line, Percy Bush finding touch a yard out with a lovely punt. Up to this point Oardiff were playing all over like a winning team, for they were showing distinctly better form than the Mid- landers. Only in the scrums were Leioee- cester showing a slight superiority. J. L. Wil- lia-ms intercepted a pass for J. R. Wateon, ajid ran up to H. Lawrio nearly at the quarter-line, where he passed to Percy Bush, who ran over, but the transfer was adjudged forward, and the try was disallowed. This was extremely hard luck for Cardiff, as it wae doubtful whether the pass was a forward one. Leicester were now getting the ball from the scrums much oftener, and their "threes" were showing very good form, but they were well marked by the Cardiff quar- tette. Breaking up the scrums quickly and rushing like demons, the Leicester forwards reached the visitors' 25, and Bobby Williams was forced to concede a minor. Cardiff started passing, but Dyke missed a rather difficult pass from J. L. Williams, and hot play ensued well inside the Cardiff half, Groves being stretched out with a nasty kick on the knee PERCY BUSH SCORES. At the centre Percy Bush had a great I stroke of luck. He kicked the ball away when it came out on the Leicester side, fol- lowed up rapidly after J. R. Watson, find put his boot into it again, and then had only to follow up and score a try. That was cer- t-linly a trifle fortunate even if show .a S rare opportunism on the part of Bush. Although the angle was fairly easy Percy failed to add the extra points. However, it compensated for the hard luck previously experienced. Brockman and Jenkins were showing great form in front for Cardiff, and were continually in the picture. The visitors were still the predominant side, and were doing better than their opponente. although the play was desperately Jceen, and there was very little in it. When Cardiff were pressing Hopkins gathered a short punt from J. L. Williams, and found touch beyond the centre. Cardiff had another great chance when Jenkins fielded and gave to Scsunlon, -who paseed out to Dyke. The latter just failed to cleared his man, or a try wae certain, for he had Nicholls and Spiller on his right and only the full-back to beat. Gwyn Nicholls made a great dash, and the defence was almost beaten, but bis pass went •wrong. Still the pla.y was fleroely keen, and Westacott was laid out. Half-time was called five minutesoalled five minutes before it should ha,vobeen. and there was a. demonstration by the spectators. whilst Mr., Crumbie, the Leicester secretary, went <mt land snoke to Mr. Andrews. Half-time some: G. T. P'ts. I OardffraJ. Gó î' Pis, Leicester -—-—- 0, 0 0 Cardiff deserved their lead of three points on the run of play in the first half, and they entered upon the second moiety with every prospect of succes, although a try is always a deceptive lead. Cardiff at once attacked, and this was due to good y by Willie Morgan, Brookman, and Groves. it was a tremendous struggle between the for- wards. At the centre Brookman broke away and made a brilliant run, twive giving the duCmy beautifully when the forward gave mp to Percy Buish seemed a ce-rtainty for a try. The next to receive, however, was overwhelmed right on the line. In midfield Gwyn Nicholls made a. mark, and from a yard over half-way Percy Bush, all but landed a e-oal. the hall JUST DROPPING UNDER THE BAR Except that they were all slightly weaker in the scirams, Cardiff WCiTe better every- where, although another score w.Qluld have been very welcome, for they were by no means yet out of the wood. The Leicester inside half was tro-perly penalised for off-side play, and Percy Bu&h punted to touch inside the home 2.), Westacott, Pugsley, Groves, and Jellings dribbled away from a line-out up to II. Lawrie, who barely managed to save in the te-eth of the on-rushinor Cardiff forwards. Percy B"-h made a poor shot at goal when he had all his four three-quarters waiting in line for the ball. Just after Buzi. made a clever rim through the Leicester men, but Sifo>p>ped wihen dodging just as s'omething sub- stantial might have materialised. The pace had now slackened down considerably, and the game wM mtuc-h too ke-el to be pretty. The atTna-^here, too, had become quite foggy, and it wns difficult to distin-sTiish the players on the far side of the erou-nd. There was yet another delay fo;r an injury. Groves being laid o-ut. On resuming Cardiff c.ontinrued to a;uaci, although Leicester had almost a monopoly of the ball from the scrimmage Ti:'IT'e after tine Wood and Watson fed their +t-nreea bat the latter- were alwavs well covered by the Cardiff four, and the home men were unable to make mraeh 1proigress on any Final score: Cn ardiff 3 points. Leicester .I 3 points. Comments Not for many a long year ha,5 so des- ratly exciting a fiirsh been witnessed in a game of Rng,y football as on the ground of the T/eicester club this afternoon. Cardiff certainly deserved to "win the match On the other hand. IÆiestr experienced a great stroke of luck in, securing the try. In the first half of the game, owing to a mistake by the referee, play was shortened hy five minutes, only half-an-hour being played ip.F)tead of 35 minutes. Mr. Andrew, the referee decided to tack the odd five minutes on the end of the second half, mak- ing 40 minutes. It was in the extra five minutes that Leic,ester scored their try, which. though by a very fine run, must be accounted distinctly lucky under the circumstances. I Cardiff held the miner hand all throne the match until vithin ten minutes fhe c-I e. and then the visiting forwards, over weighted as they had been, h-ad shot the? bolt, and were overrun by the heavier LeI- caster men. That closing ten minutes, about nine (If which were spent within _five or six N,-Irds of the Cardiff line, provided a Period 0 excitement which would satisfy the m eager appetites. ^]] the time the Leiees^1- men were striving Rke demons to penetrS:te the defence, and the Cardiff men were strJv- ing as desperately to'keep the home attach5 out. There WS brief resnite when Bush kiClC out to half-way, and Cardiff made tileir lal-t attack on the Leicester line, and the11- verily believe, the try which Gwyn Nic^H3 scored, and which the referee disaJ was a jnst and fair one. I. Nicholls has so rarely shown the slig?? display of temper on the field of play ?'" I do not think he would have kicked balj back in the apparently angry nj?"? he did unless he would have thought 50 ??°'

Burneil once had a chance, getting the Port-hcawl three-ciuarters on t,he move wh*n c-lct-e on the Cardiff line, but he preferred to drop at goal. Some pretty passing was done by the Cardiff three-quarters, and a sr^" re^ was not long in coming. Parker got in some effective work, but showed ill-judgment in having a shot at gca.1 when a score would probably have resulted had he passed out.

Polio-w- ing one of Potter's openings, Reardon broke through grandly and crossed.

The ,h,oln,B right wimg- again attacked, and, Abley tes-ted Llewellyn with a sh-at, which the latter only partially ciesared, and, co-nss- quently the homeist-cirs forced a corner. Bar- low placed this nioeiy, and enabled Tagg Williams to head into the net. Barlow forced another conuor, which Abley headed a trifle wide. The home right wing p.laved well, and Baa-low, in particular, gained apptouse. As -a result of this early excellent form. Barlow was well attended by Bryant tout in spite off this he continued to make headway, and was, no do-abt, tli-a beet for- waird on the fieid. The Barry left wing was darifiW-fMts, but owing to lack of support was uira-ble to penetrate the defence, Smart being' like a rock.

EQUALITY OF DIVORCE
EQUALITY OF DIVORCE The terms of reference to the Royal Com- mission on Divorce (says the "Law Journal ") cover a great deal more tha,n the extension of jurisdiction to the county-courts. The commission is to report on amendments to be made in the positive law governing matri- monial matters as well as in its adimi lustra- tion, and the subject 01 the publication of reports of proceedings in divorce is to be fepeoally dealt with. The commissi on etrs will furth&r have power to make an interim report with a view to enabling immediate aotacwi to be takem far the redress of any hardship from which, in their opinion, the poorer classes may suffer under the existirig taiw and administration. It is hoped that an approach may be mode towards the sound Soottish View that no differonoe is to be made between, the two sexs in what are to be regarded as mat-rimoruial oifetnoes, enitiUing to divorce, and that, on the other hand, the same rights of redress may be accorded to men as are mow resetrved for "the w sex" by the law rela^img to seipaxatDO-ns.

I LION-HUNTING WlTH CAMERA…
I LION-HUNTING WlTH CAMERA Darkness had scarcely set in before we hard a very slight rustle in the grass a, few yards from the kill, and soon we made out the light shadowy form of a lion. Sooal another appeared on tfte other side, and then another. Three lions were really more than we had bargained for, and having them all within about fourteen yards was, to say the lea,st, exciting. I pressed the electric button and off went t,he flash, and, with a lot of growling. so did the three lions. We immedi- ately left our shelter, and with hands trembling- wlth èxcittbment I re-filled the fiash- la-mp and changed the plat-es, and soon obtained some more pictures. Thai, any other lions would come seemed scarcely probable, but at two o'clock I saw three more prowling a-mong the grass at the back of the kill. A fourth one in the mean- while came at the back of us, which did not add one bit to our comfort. They moved about slowly among the grass, growling I gently all the time, hut always keeping crt of range of the flash. At last, after what Peemcd hours, one ventured down the bank I and was dimly visible. We turned on the electric light, and had the pleasure of seeing a fine lioness crouching down at the kill. I immediately pressed the button, and got three I of the best photographs made on that event- ful night.—" Strand Magazine."

A hot attack was then set up by the home- sters, and from a clearance by the visiting goalie the ball struck one of hi; opponents and went through.

The Coming Contest
The Coming Contest WELSH-SUMMERS FIGHT Johnny Never More Confident. The weather being of glorious cha-rswter at Brighton to-day, Johnny Summers again had ajixple opportunity for out-door exercise in preparation for his fight with Welsh on Mon- day. lie indulged in walking in the morning. Ho is very much in favour of this method of getting fit, and it apparently suits him as he looks and feels in fine condition. Afterwards he had a turn of ball punching and skipping- He will go through the usual training to- morrow, and by Monday he should be in as good fettle as trained hands can make him. Yesterday afternoon he want through the ordeal of the camera, stripped in various poses, and from what he says it was a some- what chilly proceeding. Johnny makes no secret of the fact that he has a tough job in hand, but he says he was never more confi- dent. He bas the best wishes of many Brighton friends. A Breathless Experience To see Fred Welsh fight (says a corre- spondent) is a revelation and a breatnlees experience. For the first eight or nine rounds he is the cool, skilled boxer—a master of the art—and you watch him with interest and with comfort. B-.it after about half througli a twenty-round fir,;ht (and Welsh is essentially a long-distance fighter) he warms to his work. Then is the time you see the real Fred, the man Wales and the whole of America know and rave o 'er, and you can understand Jim Jeffreys' enthusiastic ad- miration for him. Abcut this stage a com- plete and a startling change comes over the man. Tou may know when it is coming. The hazel eyes, at all times lustrous, sparkle with a dazzling light. It is a.s though an electric jet were suddenly turned up; a white fire seems to emanate from him, and he is inepirod by a passion- ate energy that, like a seething mountain torrent of his own country that long pent up has broken bounds, carries all irresist- ibly before it—and in spirit yon go witv, it. At such times Fred moves with incredible swiftness far faster than the eye can follow, and his blows are as flying hail; any- where, everywhere, from every possible and seemingly impossible quarter they come with the snap and precision of a flexible I steel thong, and scourge unerringly again and again the same weakened spot. Faster and faster goes the pace, till the adversary, bewildered and weakened, can strive no more; while Welsh himself is still un- scathed and untouched, apparently ready at the finish to re-peat the whole perfor- mance. In one of his fitbt-s Welsh for the first ten rounds was boxing quietly, and his opponent was doing well and looking quite happy at the eleventh. S-uddenly, in a flash, as though he had torn off and oast aside a cloak, the real Welsh eme-ged and set abou,t him Never was amazement and horror written more plainly on any face than that of the poor lad who up to that had known nothing of his formidable oppo- nent. It was as though the countenance of one he thought he knew had suddenly changed to that of a terrifying stranger, I and the end WIUI very swift. Most aptly has Fred been called The Hurricane Fighter and "The Whirlwind." t Freidy Welsh at Merthyr To-night A ereat -fception awaits Freddie Welsh at Merthyr to-night. He ha* arranged to act a-s timekeeper in the Bra-dly-Gyons contest, and a telegram to his traaning quarters at Pontvpridd late la?? e?njng stated that a ?? crowd would awa.it his a.rr?l at the ?a,?on.

Alexander we are glad to see out again. He was many times a stumblin* Lotook to the <,ppc-sing attack. one of the clearest players we have seen 'for some time, and if the other ine nt>i>i-j of the team will realise his powers and play to him harder and often, we CJl n took for some ver- groo-d ro?iilts in the future. There seems to be a very mistaken idea a.mo-n.g-st the Caitiff team t<) correct play. Several men, whom one should have tnoug-n-u knew better, will persist 1,n trying to play as if there was n.0 <me else on the side but themselves. The sooner they remember that twelw men compose a team and that eaell man wants, and should b-ave, his share of the p-la-y the better for the side. The best tussle last Saturday -was between Fairfield and Clifton, the former winaan? just on time by 5 goals to 4. after being behind 3—0 at half-time. It «ms to have been a ha-rd game, and we are sorry to berM" that Sutton has damaged his oollar-oone. Bristol had no difficulty in disposing om i Biishopcston by 18-2. Comment is iieedlew.

The game was a fast one and just suited Howells, the sprinter. He was well snPdKxrted by Graham Evans. The United's progress in the Welsh Cap competition is so far sati. ;u--tory. Sur- vrvinig the tie witih Barn- District by 3-1, they journeyed last Saturday to Bbbw Vale, and. after having tlie batter of the game, eneoted a draw of 2 goals each. Bob Peeke was handicapped by a severe cold, but he put in some fine riinp. Dicky Jones negK)itiated a p-enalty pu^oesssfully, and Geo-r-ge Jones got a pretty go-a-1.
