Football Notes. I BY "SPECTATOR." I ASSOCIATION. Aberdare Thursdays v. Merthyr Adult School. The above match took place on the New "Recreation Grounds, Merthyr, before a fair crowd. The Darians were without the services of Rees James, their clever centre forward, and Cliff Brain, left half. The home team in- cluded several notable players, Dobson. a Midland League forward, being given It place in the forwards. Llew John started play for Aberdaie, and Fred B&seett was early prominent with a short dribble, when, after eluding several opponents, he passed out neatly to Rees Thomas. The latter took the ball to the oor-ner flag, and steadying himself he sent across the goal mouth, where Dai Hughes had no difficulty in opening the scoring. A few minutes later the hom3 goal was again assailed, but a bad blunder by a Dare forward lost them a grand chance. Mer- thyr by long kicking forced a corner, but Alf. Pickering cleared and Tern Price went away at top speed and all but scored. Another hot attack by the home forwards and halves ended in Dobson putting the teams on level terms. This aroused the Darians, who now settled down to a continuous attack, and Bees Thomas, taking a pass from Bernie Lewis, ran up to the corner flag, from where he sent in a hot shot which found the net, but unfortunately for Aberdare. Llew John impeded the goal-keeper, the po;nt being therefore disallowed. Llew John and Struthers added further goals before the interval. Half-time score: Aberdare, 3 goals; Merthyr 1 goal. <?> In the second half play for a time took place in mid-field. Struthers obtained, and after dribbling half the length of the field, lost control of the ball when only a few yards from the goal. Alf. Pickering went into the half-back line, and robbing an opponent cleverly placed Rees Thomas in a favourable position. A miskick on the part of one of the visiting backs let in Dai Howard, who transferred to Littler, and the latter again found the ret. A breakaway by Llew John ended in the Dare centre putting on the 4th goal, Struthers a little later heading a pretty goal. A foul took place within 12 yards of the Merthyr goal. but the referee would not allow a penalty, his excuse being that the ground was not marked." He therefore ordered a free kick, which L Owens, the home back, cleared. Final score: Aberdare, 5 goals; Merthyr Adult School, 2 goals. The exhibition given by the Darians. although by no means up to their usual standard, was greatly admired by the Merthyr crowd. The narrowness of the ground was against good combin- ation. In the bottom end of the field the two corner flags were scarcely 12 yards distant from each upright, and the Dare forwards were continually getting into each other's way. The backs, Ait. Pickering and Spencer Evans, played far below form. the lattev however being the chief offender. Pickering's knees were covered with blood owing to the glass and china which strewed the ground. Several of the players also suffered similarly. Jaynes. the Dare goal-keeper, stopped some difficult shots in the first half, but he was rested in the second por- tion. Thô h he>, Price, Fred Bassett, and Bernard Lewis were in tip-top form, but in the second moiety it was useless placing the ball to the forwards, who were huddled so closely together. Rees Thomas, Llew John, and Struthers played well, but had very bad luck in front of goal. After the match the Darians were entertained to a splendid tea at the W averley C,'e. About thirty hungrv mortals were soon busily tucking away the good things provided, accompanied by 0 an occasional sally from Spencer Evans to keep their eyes on Fred Bassett in case he pocketed the cake. When the enor- mous appetites were appea.sed, the tables were cleared and speeches indulged in. Songs were sung by Rees James and Dickv Owen. v- <5> <■> Second Round South Wales and Mon. Cup Competition. On Saturday Aber- dare were at home to the 2nd Wilts Regi- ment stationed at Milford. Sam Parker made a welcome re-appearance in the home eleven. Joe Lewis, who was selected as left back, was deputised by Boulton. The soldiers brought up their full strength. Referee, Mr. Neale, Bristol. Huge kicking by the backs kept the home forwards at bar. Attack after attack by the Dare five was easily cleared, and no small wonder when the homesters per- sisted in dribbling in too close to the goal instead of shooting when within reason- able distance. A breakaway by the tKlld, Tight saw Sloman easily beat- ing Boulton, and sent in a. high shot which found the net, Brownhill appar- ently making no effort to clear. This success encouraged the visitors, and their centre outpaced Boulton, who in order to save the situation held on to the man, the referee ordering a free "kick. This was cleared, and Shields getting posses- sion ran on for some yards, and finaily placing to Holland, the latter beat Hun- ter. the opposing right back, and ran Tight up to the left goalpost, when he elected to let drive instead of passing cli to Smith, who was unmarked and in a glorious jjosition to score. Holland's shot was cleared at the expense of a fru tles.- corner. The interval arrived with the visitors leading by a goal. In the second half, aided by a slight wind, the Writs" placed the homesters on the defensive, but Goodwin was always to the front, and cleared attack after attack. A pretty combined movement by the visit- ing centre and inside right looked all odds on a score, but Brownhill scooped the ball from between them and saved miraculously. The equalizer came from Jack Rooke, who made a nice opening for himself, and driving in a fairly low shot, gave McCarragher no chance. After this the kicking of the visiting backs be- came very erratic. Time after time the Darians attacked but without success. At this juncture Yank Powell received an injury and retired, but soon resumed, al- though limping badly. Sam Parker slung the ball to the disabled right- winger, who managed to send across to the goalmouth, where the wiry Smith fastened on to the leather, and drove hard into the net, thus winning the game for his side. Score: Aberdare, 2 goals; Wilts, 1 goal. <0- <0- The training of the soldiers stood them in good stead, and it appeared at one period as if the Darians were pumped, but they played up surprisingly well after the scores were equalized, and al- most ran their heavy opponents to a standstill in- the later stages. The huge kicking of the visiting backs put the Dorians completely off their game, the forwards being unable to settle down to any combined movements. But for the one bad slip the home custodian played a good game. Alf Goodwin was again I hugely admired by the crowd. Boulton's display was faulty in the extreme. When a forward managed to pass him he was never able to recover himself, the brunt I of the work thus falling to his sterling partner. The half-backs had a lot erf hard work which they did in a satis- factory manner. Sam Parker has nearly recovered his true form. Fred Griffiths in the centre appeared to be faster than usual. Shields, the left half, improves in every game. The forwards did not cover themselves with glory, but too prone to hang on to the ball, when a pass on more than one occasion would have meant a score. Holland made one fatal step in score. Holland made one fatal step in this direction in the first half, when he should have transferred the leather to I Smith.

BY "MUDDIED OAF." RUGBY. The Mountain Ash fifteen journeyed to Abertillery on Saturday last to fulfil their return fixture with the Monmouthshire League Champions. The "Old Firm" were again poorly represented, and Arthur Weare and Ike Taylor turned out at threequarter vice Shaw and Lloyd Jcnes. The team were also short of a few forwards. At the outset, the Mon- mouthshire men became the aggressors, and by means of clever forwatd play, they reached the visitors' quarter, where, after some loose play, Richardson opened the score for the homesters with a simple but unconverted try. The Mountain Ash men put a great deal of dash into their tactics, but found the 'Tillery men sound in defence. After the restart the Monmouthshire men took play once more into the Aberpennar ter- ritory, where the visiting forwards tackled well for possession. With a smart bit of play Lionel Thomas, the home winger, fielded smartly, and added another try to the credit of the home- sters. Good forward work was next con- tributed by the respective sides, and the homesters excelled in the scrummages, but the Mount forwards were superior in loose work. At half-back Harry Thomas and Wyndham Jones played a wonder- fully clever game, but the "threes" missed many chaftioes of scoring. Noth- ing further was scored up till the inter- val. O But with the change of ends, the Old Firm forwards became the masters of the situation, and their forwards wer6 easily superior to the home eight once more. The Abertillery men retaliated hotly, but they could not hold the visit- ing forwards, who eventually reached the home quarter. Here a lot of tackling ensued, but the Mount men organised a series of fine passing movements. Weare missed a good chance of scoring in fail- ing to take a pass when he was within dangerous proximity to the home line. The Monmouthshire men showed much finer opportunism, and from an attack which they afterwards made into the Mount quarter, Francis initiated a bout of passing which was well partaken of by each of the backs. Lionel Thomas came away with a fine dribble, and enabled Bcwen, the right winger, to add another try for the 'Tillery men. After the re- start, by dint of more dribbling on the part of the forwards, Evan Jones came away with a pretty run, and beating the opposition cleverly, scored a fine but un- converted try for the Mountaineers. Hedges as full-back for the homesters acted as the saviour of his side. A great deal of exciting play followed, and the Abertillery defenders had their work cut out to keep the Aberpennar forwards out of their territory. Wyndham Jones came away with a brilliant run in which he completely put his opponents off their guard, and sent a swift, but well-judged pass to Dick Thomas, who romped over with another good but unmajorised try for his side. Abertillery sought in vain to recover their ground, and nothing further was added by either side. Aber- tillery won by 3 tries to 2. -0- <1> The Inter-League match between the Aberdare and District League and the Rhondda Valleys League came off at the Mountain Ash Athletic Grounds on Saturday last. The home side were at full strength with the exception of Harry Miles, of the Aberaman Cynon Stars XV., and Fortt, who had to stand down owing to sickness, and was deputised by Triggs, of Cefnpennar, and Hawkins. The sides fielded under the charge of Mr. Tom Eng- land, of Newport, in the following order: Rhondda League—Back, Webber; three- quarter backs, John, Potter, Hughes, and Jones; half-backs. F. Roderick and M. E. Til ojiias; forwards, Williams, Lewis: Rees, Gibbon, Scrivens, Pomeroy, Wise, and Bennett. Aberdare League: —Back, Webb; three-quarter backs, D. R. Mor- gan, Bevan, Sage, and England; half- backs, E. Davies and S. Francis; for- wards, J. Ellery, A. Hawkins, Blacker, Triggs, Breecher, Evans, Phil Richards, and W. Williams. The Rhondda for- wards came away with some fine rushes, and succeeded in reaching the A berctare League's territory. Here some strenuous tackling ensued, and a number of scrums v- ore formed. The home league forwards eventually came away nicely, but the op- position was too great. From a scrum- mage in neutral territory, Evan Davies, the Aberaman inside half, tricking Roderick effectively, brought off a good run, only to find Potter safe at left centre for the Rhondda men. Afterwards the Rhondda forwards were penalized for "legs up" in the scrum, and the ensuing kick was taken by Sid Francis, the New- town outside half, who gained consider- able ground for his side. From a line out, the home forwards came away grand- ly, and a neat bit of passing ensued, from v.-liich Sage, the home centre, nearly opened the score. But Webber, at full- back, in effecting a temporary relief, sent the oval to mid-field, where the home backs secured once more, and initiated another bout of combination in which Bevan and Francis were prominent. In giving and taking a reverse pass Ivor Bevan, the Cefnpennar centre, sent across to his co-worker on the wing, but al- though the defence was beaten, the final transfer went astray and thus a certain try was lost to the Aberdare leaguers. Ivor Bevan shone once more in making a good opening with a dribble which was turned into a straight run for the line. But he was tackled when near the Rhon- ddaites' line. Roderick, the Rhondda men's inside half-back, sustained a nasty injury, and had to be carried off the field. Nothing was scored up till the in- terval. 0 On the change of ends, the game was even more stubbornly contested, and the respective forwards went through a great deal of'work, but nothing accrued at the end of fully fifteen minutes. Up to now the Aberdare League forwards had shown a distinct advantage in general open work, but they subsequently fell off form. The Rhondda pack then succeeded in heeling properly for the first time in the game, and M. E. Thomas, their outside half, sent a swift pass to Potter, the left centre, who came away with a good run, but a certain score was upset by bad cal- culation. However, Webb. the Newtown full-back, effected a few decent saves, and the homesters played up in an improved manner. But M. E. Thomas then saved his side in clever style, and the Rhondda- ites were again penalized for an infringe- ment. Dan England, the Newtown wing, took the kick, and found some tangible ground for his side. The ball was then taken to within a yard of the Rhondda line, and in spite of the homesters efforts to score, the defence of the Rhondda backs was too good. Several chances were then lost by the home Leaguers, and the game ended in a, pointless draw. ASSOCIATION. Cwmbach v. Aberdare Crescents. Played at Cwmbach on Saturday last. The Crescents lost the tosa, and Dai Wil- liams kicked off up the slope. Fine play by King and Crowley on the left put Cwmbach on the defensive, but nothing came of it, owing to the sterling defence of Moss Price and W. Mason. Cwmbach now had a turn at attacking, but they could not find the net. The referee made a mistake by awarding Cwmbach a goal after the ball had been shot wide, but he withdrew his decision. Dai Williams netted for the Crescents, but the goal was disallowed. In the second half, the Cres- cents playing down the slope, had more of the game. Billy Thomas shot high when well placed after fine work by Cox. A smart burst by the Cwmbach forwards. in which W. R. Jones, Pugh, and Bo seer -4- 4 T WtJltJ pi. UmilitM-LL, ULT3YT AJtTXULXO -L-A7VT AD his goal, and in the melee that followed W. R. Jones scored for Cwmbach. Dai Williams beat the goalkeeper with a swift low drive, but the goal was disallowed. Final score: Cwmbach, 1 goal; Cres- cents, nil. "Milk," "Cox," and Harry Williams were best for Crescents, and Mason, Dick Samuels, and Rosser for Cwmbach. <? <? At Michael's Field on Saturday last the Aberaman Excelsiors, fresh from their victory over the Crescents, met their great rivals, the Aberaman Stars. The Excels played Shears instead of Rees. The Stars succeeded in breaking away with a fine bout of passing, and Charlie Williams opened the score for his side. The Excelsiors rallied, and suc- ceeded in obtaining a penalty." The kick was taken by Silverthorn, whose shot was, however, ably saved by Wrent- more. The Stars' goalman, Will Evans, then added another goal for the Stars. Half-time arrived with the Stars leading by 2 goals to nil. In the second half the Excelsiors came away grandly, but their forwards failed to pieroe their opponent's defence. The Stars halves, ably led by Guest and RowAn, were then very prominent, and their able nourishing of their forwards enabled D. Sam Evans to add another good goal for his side. A few minutes be- fore the end Charlie Williams scored another goal for the Stars, who won by 4 goals to nil. -<S> <P On the same day, Abernant entertained Hirwain, when a pretty game culminated in a win for Abernant by 2 goals to nil. —The Gadlys Stars and Miskin United also met at the Park on Saturday last, when a fairly decent match ended in another victory for the Gadlys Stars by 3 goals to 2. The scorers were D. J. Jen- kins (2) and Evan Humphreys for the Gadlys men, whilst Morgan Morgan, the home goalman, accidentally hit the two of the visitors' goals into his own net. Up to date, the Gadlys Stars possess an untarnished record.—Ynysybwl met the Dinas Bangers on Saturday last, when the game resulted in an easy win for Ynysybwl by the score of 1 goal 2 tries to t>il.—Trecynon Windsors v. Cwmbach Crescents. This match was played at the Park on the same day, when a very even game oulminated in the Windsors favour by the score of 2 goals to 1. T. J. Evans and Gardener scored for the Trecynon- ites, whilst Dai Morris, the centre-for- ward, found the net for Cwmbach. Mr. W. J. Humphreys, Cwmbach, acted as referee. SCHOOLBOYS' LEAGUE. Last Saturday's matches under the aus- pices of the above were well contested throughout, for no fewer than three of the matches ended in the points being divided. Cwmbach National drew with the Park boys by scoring a goal apiece through W. Pugsley for Cwmbach, and G. Jones for the Park boys.—The Indus- trials failed to give a good account of themselves for they only succeeded in drawing with the Cwmbach Council School lads by the score of a goal each, when W. Davies scored for the Indus- trials and A. Palmer for the Cwmbach men.A similar result attended the match between the Town Council School and Town National School, when W. M. Griffiths scored for the Town boys and Sidnev Williams for the Nationalists.— But the Higher Standard lads did much better. They defeated Cwmaman by 2 goals to nil, when the scorers were Vin- cent George and Rees Evans. Blaen- gwawr also defeated Cwmdare by the score of 3 goals to 1, when the scorers were Aaron Mosford (2) and M. Allen for the Gwawr lads, and Johnnie Wal- ters for the Cwmdare boys.

ABERCYNON FOOTBALL NOTES. BY a QUIZ." Abercynon v. Deri. Played on the ground of the former in ideal weather, and before a fair crowd.

The teams lined out as follows; .Abercynon—Full-back, Arthur Edmunds; tbi ee-quarter backs, Owen Jones, Tom Lewis, Bushy Price, Dai Charles Smith; half-backs, W. Phillips and W.

Holloway, W. Vin- cent, Tom Evans, W. James. Referee, Mr. Harry Weekes, Deri. The homesters commenced play from the town end. The visitors made a good return, which en- abled them to press on the homesters' line. Here a series of hard fought scrums were formed, but the home tack- ling was keen. Wheeling the scrums the homesters relieved to half way. A drop for goal by Gimlett almost reached the desired billet. The homesters now in- dulged in a nice round of passing which however broke down five yards from the visitors' line. D. Charles Smith made a mark and essayed a drop for goal which proved futile. Half-time score: Deri, nil; Abercynon, nil. Davies commenced operations, and by smart following up enabled the visitors to again press. The home half-backs, however, relieved prettily, but the visit- ing custodian, who was a tcwer of strength, made a mark. He took a shot for goal, but failed miserably. The h omesters now put more vim into their play and took play into the visitors' quarters. Owen Jones, the home wing, was sailing beautifully for the line when he was recalled for a forward pass. From now until the end the Cynonites had the best of the play. The final score read: Abercvnon, nil; Deri, nil. <:i> <9- <9- It was a really good game fought in the best of spirit. Both packs of forwards played exceedingly well. The homesters excelled in wheeling the scrums. The visiting halves were a little prone to off- side tactics, and this handicapped the homesters. Both sets of backs wel e mediocre. The visiting custodian played well. It was pleasing to note the im- provement in the homesters" play. Next Saturday the Cynon boys journey to Caerphilly. SOCCER. The Red Roses journeyed to Merthyr Vale to play the Merthyr Vale Juniors, and defeated them after a hard game by seven goals to one. The All Reds are im- proving every week. The Abercynon Crusaders were at home to Porth Juniors, and owing to the late arrival of the visitors the game was curtailed. The Crusaders were by far the better team, and led in the first half by a goal to nil. During the second half the visitors net- ted the ball in semi-darkness, thereby making a draw game of a goal each.

He would suggest that stead of the present arrangement a postal order for the amount of relief be sent to each pauper.—This was agreed to. PIANO.—It was agreed that local traders be invited to tender for provid- ing a piano for the Infirmary. TRAINING SCHOOL COMMITTEE.— With regard to the following three chil- dren, who -have been in service on trial, the committee recommended that the usual oontract be signed and outfit granted: Mary Roberts at Mrs. Lloyd's, Emlyn House, Mountain Ash; Phillip Sullivan, at Mrs. Walsh's, 18, Hirwain- road, Trecynon; and Watkin Ward at Mrs. George's, 1, Stable Houses, Cwm- bach.—The committee recommended that Thomas Wrigfet be allowed to go for a month on trial fo the employ of Mr. W. Parrish, colliery proprietor, to work in the weighing machine office.-The school visiting committee—Rev. W. S. Davies and Messrs. David Edwards and Henry Lewis—reported having visited the School and Cottage Homes, and found the rooms clean, and recommended re- pairing and alterations in some of the rooms.—On the motion of Mr. Meth Davies, seconded by Mr. S. Hawkins, the committee recommended that the pay- ment of washers and scrubbers at the school be increased to Is. 6d. per day.— The report was adopted. A "BARBEROUS" INNOVATION.— The House Management Committee re- commended that a barber be appointed for the Workhouse and Training School at a wage of 32s. a week. plus train fare; the person appointed to provide his own implements, including soap, and his hours of duty to extend from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., one hour being allowed for din- ner.—Mr. T. B. Greatorex moved an amendment that things remain as before until March, when the annual contracts would be made. He pointed out the fol- ly of departing from the present arrange- ment.—Mr. W. Hiley asked Mr. Greator- ex if he held a brief for anyone?—Mr. Greatorex: Yes I do, for the ratepayers. —Mr. T. E. Morgan seconded the amend- ment.—Mr. W. Harris and Mr. H. Jones spoke in favour of the resolution.—Mr. D. Davies accused Mr. Greatorex of abus- ing the principles of the trade union to which he belonged, viz., the A.S.R.S.—Mr Greatorex warmly resented this imputa- tion, and claimed the right to reply re- garding "a personal raatter.Mi. H. Jones asked whether -Air, Greatorex had a right to speak again.—Mr. D. Hughes asked whether Mr. Hugh Jones had the right to speak three times on the same subject.—Mr. Jones: I rose to a point of order.—Mr. Greatorex repeated his claim to speak on a personal matter, but eventually he bowed to the chairman's decision, and sat down.—Mr. Dd. Evans (Merthyr) made several strenuous but unavailing attempts to speak. After a little more wrangling the recommendation was adopted by 22 votes to 14. SANDGATE CONDEMNED. FROM THE MOUTHS OF THREE WIT- NESSES.—Three patients who have re- cently returned from Sandgate Sanator- ium appeared before the Board, and gave their impressions of the institution.—The first was Evan Rees Arthur, Trecynon, who said that he had not improved much at Sandgate. He held that the food was bad there. Sometimes he had porridge for breakfast. Other mornings he woul' have one egg, a herring another time, or perhaps a sausage. The bread was coarse and heavy. They had foreign frozen meat for dinner. He knew it was foreign because it was hard. The butter was I oilv. He staved there the first time for eight months. He returned home, and went there the second time. Another Sandgate patient, Wm. Davies, Bridge- read, Cwmbach, said he felt better after his stay at Sandgate. The dinner he got there was all right, but he did not care for the porridge. Butter they had not, and the dripping that did duty for it he could not eat.—David Davies. Merthyr, said he had been 15 weeks at Sandgate. He bitterly complained of the quality of the sausages, the porridge, and the butter.—The Rev. LI. Williams moved that they drop the custom of sending patients to Sandgate.—Mr. D. Hopkins seconded, and the Rev. J. H. Davies and Mr. J. Prowle- supported.—The motion was agreed to.—Mr. Prowle hoped, how- ever, that the Guardians would not let the matter finish there, but would pro- ceed to get a sanatorium at home. Let them erect something as an experiment. It would be well worth the trial. What was wanted was pure food and healthy surroundings, and could not patients get these essentials at home? Eventually Mr. Prowle gave notice of motion that a special committee be appointed to dis- cuss the desirability of erecting a local sanatorium. "WE ARE NOT JEWS/The Clerk

Mr John Holding, 14, Darran-court, Aberdare, says;—" I am in first-rate health and free from those nasty back- aches. It was nearly 6 years ago that Doan's backache kidney pills cured me of kidney complaint, and the cure has proved a lasting one. I take a few of the pills now and then, not because I need them but as a safeguard. The facts of Mr Holding's case will be found in the following statement, which he made when he was cured For some time I was a sufferer from kidney complaint; my back was dread- fully painful, and the kidney secretions were unnatural, and had sediment in them. I got so bad at last that I could not do my work, and I became quite anxious, for I had taken medicine with- out success. "Reading of Doan's backache kid- ney pills, I got some to try, and it wasn't long before I began to feel quite myself again. I went on with the pills then, and soon afterwards the pains left me, and I was completely cured of the kid- ney trouble. I am well now, and can do my work with ease.

The Temperate Jew. s W.R.N. in The British Weekly" gives some very favourable impressions derived from a Sunday visit to a Jewish School in the Jewish quarters of London. He concludes his article thus: — "What is the secret or the great superiority of the Jewish children over the Christian children in the same quar- ters ? One answer is that the Jews do not drink. Many of them are practically or altogether total abstainers. Those who are not are strictly measured. Jew- ish homes are not wrecked by the drink curse of this country. As I grow older I feel more than ever that much of our talk about social reform is wild, and that if a real effort were made to abolish drink in this country, ninety-nine of our pioblems in a hundred would be solved at once, and solved triumphantly. There are now, I was told, in the district, 95 per cent, of Jews. The Christians are a. mere handful, and, alas! many of them are evil elements in the district. The diink curse is there. I could understand the hottest prohibitionist as I looked rcund upon the scene. How can a people that drinks, a, people that neglects the re- ligious teaching of the young, a people that does not care for the home, stand up against a people that does all three? This has a. bearing on the alien question. Would it be wise for the good of the nation that these Jews should be kept out? We must consider that they supply an element which in many days power- fully strengthens our country. They grow up clean, temperate, industrious, eager, and inventive. So long as drink is allowed to work its evil work, the so- called Christians who would replace them if they were driven out would very largely be in a condition of almost hope- less degradation. But I do not dogma- tise. I only throw these hints out for consideration. I am sure the English. people are not fully alive to what is tak- ing place, and that it deeply concerns them to ponder it."
