Interest in Rugby has been flagging for some time. The All Whites are assured of the Welsh Championship"—this is quoted because, to be paradoxical, there is no such thin,and so there is now nothing left worth striving for. The matches with Bridgend, and Llanelly, at St. Helen's, are not, likely to worry us much. Personally, I do not think Swanssa were exactly wise to arrange another game with the Scarlets, particularly as Southend United will be playing the Swans the same afternoon. At this time of the year most people are so fed up with football that they do not trouble their heads about attending the matches. Our Association friends are keep- ing things going at top pace. and in their case there is some excuse, for they have their position in the championship table to think about. To-morrow's match between Swansea aDd Bridgend can be regarded mora in the nature of a missionary enter- prise than anything else. I am reminded that Bridgend beat us a couple of years ago through the instrumentality of a dropped goal; but it would be ridiculous to take the result seriously. It was one of those extraordinary happenings which comes about once la a lifetime. Swansea will not have a representative side out, but they should for all that win pretty com- fortably. WELSH CUP FINAL. I There is no doubt out what there will be a large crowd at Xinia n Park on Saturday tor the final of the Welsh Cup. I have been informed (writes "Cygnet") that tem- poiary stands have been erected, and that everything has been doue for the conveni- ence of the public. From a playing point I of view there is every prospect of there be- inor a capital game. Although Swansea have not been under a special course of training, the whole of the players have been extreelyearnest in their usual ex- ercises. They all express themselves as be- ing fit, and are determined, if possible, to bring the We18h Cup for the first time to the town. Pontypridd, on the other hand'l are also anxioub for a win, but I cannot expres5 myself in favour of their chances When I have in view the exhibition given I by the Swans in the semi-linal round I have no doubt as to which side will gain the honours. The Swansea side will be: Fisher; Sutherland and Nicholas; Duffy, Hamilton, and Jepp; Sleaeer, Coleman, Ball, Grierson, and Swarbrick. AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. I ? I Those who visit the Crystal Palace year after year have become rather pessimistic and sceptical as to the merits of the final of the English Cup. We have often ex- pected much and been disappointed, and the good games really worth watching by anyone with no interest in either of the competing teams have been few and far between. Still we are always full of hope, and this year there really does seem a great chance of witnessing a game worthy of what is supposed to be a contest of skill between two of the best clubs in the coun- try. This will, of course, be Sunderland's first appearance in the final, whereas Aston Villa have reached this stage five times, and it is worthy of note that they have only once proved unsuccessful, that being: in 1831-32, when they went down before their near neighbours. West Brcmwich Albion. In 1886-7. 1894-5, 1896-7, and 1904-5 Villa won the Cup. beating West Bromwich Albion in the first two games, and then Everton and Newcastle United. GLOUCESTER'S WELSH VISIT. I Neath have an opportunity to-morrow of wiping something off the slate, for Glouces- ter pay their annual visit to the Gnoll. When the teams met earlier in the season at the City, the homesters won by a dropped goal and a try to a try. To-mor- row Neath should easily reverse the ver- dict, and, in fact should win by a fairly substantial score. The Citizens at home are terrible fellows—real, powerful "double Glo'ster but when they visit Wales they are more or less mild cheese-pale American say—although one must admit that they are always more or less tart." They do love Welsh lamb at Gloucester, for the Citizens lay themselves out to play havoc with Taffy, more especially if Taffy brings along with him anything in the nature of a record. It would be interesting jf some statistical friend would only compile a list cf the hopeful Welsh records which have perished in the glory of their youth, in tb prime of their strength, or in the time of their old age. THE FOOTBALL HEROD. Cardiff, Swansea, Newport, Neath. and Llanelly have all in turn mourned the demise of promising infante at the hands of Gloucester, the football Herod. To-morrow will be the All Blacks' last appearance at home this season, and there should be a good muster of enthusiasts assembled to say farewell to their favourites. By the way, there will be a considerable difference in the side which will represent Neath to- morrow to that which was defeated at Gloucester when the season was young. It will be of interest to reproduce the names of the Neath backs who played on that occasion. Glyn Gething was fu'l-back, and he still survives, but not one of the three- quarters are left. for Handel Richards, T. Burneil, Griffiths, and T. John were Neath's choice at Gloucester. At half-back we had "Tit" Davies and Edgar Thomas. Since then Edgar Thomaa has spent a period in the wilderness, but he is now back again, but at three-quarter. Handel Richards scored Neath's solitary try at Gloucester, scoring right on the call of time, while Lewis dropped a goal for the homesters. Hamblin scored their try after a powerful run, when several of the All Blacks took the "dummy" from him like a hungry in- fant. Neath should win, and win well to- morrow, for they are a much improved side, and spite of the Cardiff fiasco, have the makings of one of the most, effective back divisions in Wales. GROUND RECORD IN THE BALANCE I "Lucifer" writ.es :-On Sat urday Aberavon will meet their old and keen rivals, the | Scarlets, and the venue will be the Port Talbot Central Athletic Ground. Extra- ordinary interest la being taken in the game from the facts that it is Aberavon's last home fixture, and that they hold a ground record. The sides have met thrice before this season, each contest being close and keen. The first match at Stradey -I,Ianelly won by three tries to a dropped goal and a try. The return match on the Port Talbot ground Aberavon won by a converted goal, a dropped goal, and a try to one try. In the second match at Stradey Aberavon won By one dropped goal and one penalty goal to nil. The aggregate of the scores for the three games therefore stands: Aberavon, 26pts; Llanelly, 12pts. The Afonites this season have shown a won. derful defence, especially on their own ground, where in 28 matches only 18 points have been scored against them out of a total of 67 points against. During the new year only six points have been scored against them. A CREDITABLE RECRD. I They have during the season played 28 matches, of which 16 have been won, 7 drawn, and 5 lost, and have scored 205 points, made up of 12 converted goals, 7 dropped goals, 1 penalty goal, and 38 tries, to 67 points against. The season has been remarkable for the number of fixtures winch have had to be cancelled, totalling no less than seven-Plymouth, Mountain Ash, Torquay A-thetic,, Bridgend, Penygraig, Plymouth, and Torquay Athletic, and this has, through no fault of Aberavon, badly hampered the finances of the club. The scorers for the season are as follow:—Con- verted goals: Will Jones, Fred Potter, Johnny Davies, Charlie Jones (2 each), Dan Tobin, Rees Richards, Ivor Hopkins, Jim Donovan, Guthrie Yot-gan, E. B. Rees (1 each). Dropped goals: Fred Potter (5), Guthrie Morgan, and E. B. Rees (1 eafh). Penalty goals: Pandy Rees (1). Try-get- ters: Charlie Jones. Fred Potter, Ivor Hop- kins (6 eachi, Jim Doiova-n (5), B. Randall, B B. Rees (3), Will Hopkins, Syd Thomp- ■vn, Ivor G'xanba,, R.pes Richards, Tom Pons- forcl, Willie Jones, Guthrie Morgan, Dan Tcbni, E. Goodman (2:. M. Rawlings. Ted Tobin, W. H. Gulliver (1 each). During the season the club has provided one inter- national in Rees Richards, who played against Scotland and Ireland, and gave an excellent accornt of himself. They have provided County players in Rees Richards, Tom Ponsford, Willie Hopkins, Guthrie Morgan, and Willie Jones. AFTER SATURDAY'S GAME. The only remaining .fixture that Aberavon have after Saturday's game with Llanelly will be the following Saturday against Bridgend at Bridgend. For the Llanelly game, Aberavon are in the unfortunate position of having to field without the ser- vices of two of their best forwards, Rees Eichards and Charlie Jones, who are on the injured list after the Swansea match. Notwithstanding this, however, they will be able to turn out a strong side to defend their cherished ground record. The follow- ing will be the side :-Back, Johnny Davies; three-quarters, Jimmy Donovan (captain), E. B. Rees, Guthrie Morgan, and Ivor Hop kins; half-backs. Willie Jones and Fred Potter; forwards, Willie Hopkins, Tom Ponsford, Dai Tobin, Bob Randall, Dai Ran dall, J'. Atkinson, B. Gould, and Handford. IMPORTANT SECOND-CLASS GAME. Undoubtedly one ot the most important Rugby games on Saturday in South Wales will be between the Cardiff Seconds and Danygraig. Earlier in the season the game at Cardiff had to be abandoned through Cardiff Firsts fixing up a date at home, eo that the game on Saturday will be the only encounter between those two clubs. The '!f'sprv€? are bringing down a very strong j team, and can always be depended upon to piny a, fast. opeu same, fuU of in resi? right throughout. Danygraig have been badly hit this season, and it would do them a deal of good if they were well patronised on Saturday. That iliey deserved support no one will deny; and if the football public of Swansea would only x)ny them a visit they would be well repaid. Danygraig are in low water just at present, and need help badly. Team :— Danygraig.—Back, J. Ward; three-quar- ters. Smith, P. Shefford, W. Poole, Flipping, or J. Prosser; half-backs, J. Griffiths and Ray Shefford; forwards (from), Tom Da ,vies, J. Brazell, Sam Davies, F. Amos, D. Bevan, J Beard, Myers. A. Bsauger, Radcliffe. and Jones. I MOVEMENTS OF BAYCLIFFE. After a disappointing season, as far as League trophies are concerned, Baycliffe wil play their last match with Mansel at Manselton Racecourse on Saturday next. The Bays will field a good team, and have strong hopes of finishing up the season with a win. Although Baycliffe have not had I their usual success in winning matches, they have rea.son to be proud or themselves, as this season they have supplied an un- usually laKge number of players to the Swansea First and Second fifteens. So far this present season the Bays have played I 26, won 12, lost 9. and drawn 5. The kick-off next Saturday is advertised for 3.45, and a good "gate'' is eagerly anticipated. Baycliffe will be represented as follows:- Back, Bancroft; three-quarter iircjn), Ash- ford, Trevor Davies, "Shy" Morris, S. Jones, and Kneath; half-backs, Mason and Burchell; forwards (from*, Bone, Williams, Dagavil, Webber, Phil Br.ayley, Sambrook. Dai Williams, Evans, ami Webbera*. The following will represent Mansel:— Back, T. G. Rees; three-quarters. B. J'ones, E Thomas. Nick Evans, P. Sullivan, or L, Stafford; half-backs, W. IL James and E. G. Thomas; forwards (from), Phil Joseph (captain). D. Wheeler, D. Jones, Glyn Thomas, W. Clement, M. Stewart. D. A. Roberts, A. Williams, and T. H. Matthews. I REFEREES FOR SATURDAY. I Ammanford v.

The I following will represent Ystaiyfera: Goal, ú. Reynolds; backs, H. Chalk and Tate; I half-backs, Bradley, Mair, and Miller for- wards, Bobbie Williams, Reynolds, Winter, Myers, and Hutchinge.

I 66 HUM, PLEASE ? — —'■» !■ — I THE TROUBLES OF THE TELEPHONE OPERATOR. Generally in the country, there is a good deal of feeling amongst telephone operators as to the abuse they some- times got over the telephone when things do not go just right, which, the telephone being an human invention, is pretty often. It is .said that several operators have suffered, in consequence of thus badgering," from iiervous, breakdown, and the Telephone Opera- tors' Union is taking the matter up with some vigour. There has been a suggestion that, m some of the worst instances, contracts should be terminated or suspended as a protest, and this, it is said, the Post Office has been known to do. -A l r. A. G. Br i stoiv, '1' Mr. A. G. Bristow, Traffic Superin- tendent of the local Telephone Ex- change, says there is not much fault to be found with the local telephone sub- scri bers Subscribers sometimes get annoyed, but we have not had any occasion to complain of them. As a ma.tter of fact, in Swansea there is no trouble. Vv e have had no case of nervous break- down. though, of course, the conditions for the operators are exacting enough. The trouble is that when anything goes wrong with the telephone, the first tiling some subscribers do is to blame the operator, and that is what the operating staff consider very un- just. When subscribers have taken up an attitude of that kind, we generally ask them to come down and see the opera- tors at work, and when they do, it is very seldom they fail to appreciate the difficulties under which the operators have to work, or to see that they are doing their best. But here in Swansea, as I said, we have had no cause to complain; or at least, if a subscriber has given way, perhaps, to a little warmth of feeling, we have generally ma-naged to smooth him down- that is, when he sees things from the point of view of the operator."

I TAYLOR i 60., LTD J  CASTLE SQUARE i ?4M?JBr??cA? ❖ SWANSEA TOWN Association Football Club, Ltd. To the Football Supporters of Swansea. We desire to bring to your notice the following facts in connection, witb the above Football Club:— i 1. The formation of the Club has now been accomplished and has proved a biff attraction to the public of Swansea ad well as the neighbouring districts. 2. The Club has been the means of bringing thousands of visitors to the town who necessarily spend money for food, tram fares, and in other ways, and in th« course of a year considerably increase the trade done in the Town. 3. The matches have provided for thousands of working men and others a heajthy out-door interest week by week which they keenly enjoy. Their gatur"yl afternoons could be much less advantageously spent. 4. The success of the team which hae been got together has been remarkable, and has justified the optimism shewn by the promoters at the commencement ot the season. 5. The team's record is, we believe, a unique one inasmuch as in ite first irmniii it has placed us in the final of the Welsh Cup and well in the running for peo- motion to the first division of the Southern League. 6. The Club has already risen to a prominent position in the Welsh Football warId.. and has created a stir even in the best football circles of England, thus ad- vertising the Town and keeping the name of Swansea before possibu Tiffftore all over the oocntry. 7. The players who have raised the Club to snch a level have had and still h&va a strenuous time before them, and in order to relieve them and still main- tain our present position, we realised that additional players should be secured. and have therefore engaged four additional players of good repvtet 8. This has meant considerable additional expense, but we feel oonfldestt that if our ambition is achieved it will be money well spent. 9. The expense of completing and maintaining our ground has been heavy, and the final instalment is still due to the Contractors, and which we are now called upon to pay. 10. We contemplate erecting a Grand Stand, turfing the enclosure, aed improv- ing the public accommodation, and an expenditure of over L-LOW will b8 necessary. We think you will agree that a first-class Association Football Club is aft advantage to the Town in numerous ways, and we have therefore decided to make an appeal to the public of Swansea for farther nnanciaj support by taking up the portion of the share capital still unallotted at the present time, and amounting to £ 1,000. In order to carry on what has already proved to be a means of enjoyment and a great advantage to the public of Swansea, we wish to impress upon you the fact that although we are a Limited Company, we are not looking forward to dividends and pecuniary gain. Our only desire is to provide Swansea with a team worthy of a town of suoh importance, and this can only be done if we gain the confidence and financial support of the public. We would like to see as many of the followers of the game interested as possible, to the extent of a single Five Shilling Share at the least. Applications should l»e sent to the Secretary, at the Registered OMol 130, King Edward-road, Swansea. We we, Yojrs faithfully, J. W. THORPE, Chairman. H. C. BEHENNA. P. MOLYNEAUX. D. J. BASSETT.
