Football. RUGBY. TBMHMRBERT ATHLETICS 3pts., RHYDFELEN 3. Thft-te. First Division teams of the Ithondda and District Old Boys' League encountered one another in a return League match at Rhydfelen on Saturday. The previous match resulted in a draw of SIX points each. Rhydfelen had their un- defeated record at stake. Treherbert were minus Stan Thomas (forward), and W* Watts (inside half) changed his posi- tion with A. Lewis (centre), as the former Was suffering from an injury to the knee. Mr. Harvey, W.F.U., Pontypridd, was the referee. The game opened in tame style, play being loose. Gradually the pace became very fast. Treherbert seemed unable to final their feet throughout the initial half and the pack was fairly beaten by the home forwards. The homesters attacked continually by means of forward rushes, but those tactics failed to pierce the defence q £ the Athletics. From a long throw-out from touch, one of the. foome forwards secured and set his backs in Motion. The Treherbert defenders hesi- tated when Hooper (Rhydfelen. centre) rtl, ved an obviously for.ward pass. 1f.Mp,g1\ however, ran in behind the posts, and was awarded a try. The kick at goal failed, After the interval, a great change came I over the visiting team, and their unusual slowness quickly vanished. The Athletics' forwards now held their own, and their backs displayed a marked superiority. Time after time the visiting backs came within inches of scoring, A. Lewis (half- back), R Pitman (centre), and J. Lewis (wing) particularly having very hard luck. J. Lewis, W. Watts and Salisbury crossed at different times for Treherbert, but the tries were disallowed. Treherbert's reward came at last when they were awarded a free-kick in a good oositipn. Salisbury took the kick and landed a fine goal, thus equalising the score. Continuing to attack, Treherbert looked like winning, a:J!ld Rhydfelen were only saved by the call Til time.. TREHERBERT EX-SCHOOLBOYS 14pts. TREBANOG, O. Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys (a Second Division team) entertained Trebanog (a team of the First Division) at Treherbert on Saturday. In the initial half, Trebanog were aided -by a stiff breeze. Play was fairly even, nd nothing had been scored when the interval arrived. the kick-off in the second half, the home forwards made a grand forward rush in which W. Allen scored a try amidst great cheering, W. H. Colwiil failed to convert. The Ex-Schoolboys Penned the visitors in their own half, and the ball was seldom seen nearer the Tre- herbert line than the visitors' quarter W E. Pearce (Treherbert), at the the scrum, secured and threw out to 7, Williams, his partner. The latter "tried to break through himself, when the ^viBg was in a splendid position for scoring. Almost immediately afterwards, W. E. Pearce started another bout of Passing in which the quartet and Colwill (full-back) participated. Colwill, the last to receive, doubled around two opposing players and dropped a lovely goal. After a- brief attack by Trebanog, the home forwards again rushed back to the visitors' territory. From a scrum at this stage, Pearce passed to his centre, who gave to Colwiil, and the latter, again repeated his performance of a few minutes pre- vious by dropping another goal. Another good round of passing resulted in E. Morgan (wing) scoring a very easy try. W. H. Colwill failed with the kick. Trebanog were forced to play on the defensive for the remainder of the game. They succeeded in preventing any further score, a-nd the game thus ended in a com- fortable victory for the home team. FEKNDALE ROVERS 3pts.. TYLORS- TOWN 0. The Ferndale Rovers played Tylorstown on Saturday, and after a vervhard and keen game, ran out victors. These two rivals- meet in a return 011 Saturday, the 12th inst,

ASSOCIATION. r TON 2gls., BURTON" UNITED 1. Ton's return fixture with Burton United, the Birmingham League team, was played on the Ynys on Thursday, the 3rd inst,, before a splendid gate. At Burton, the game resulted in a draw. Soon after the start, the visitors scored their only goal in rather a simple fashion. The ball was kicked into Percival's hands, and failing to hold the leather, a. soore was easily registered. This had an invigorating effect upon the homesters, who played with renewed energy. Brad- shaw, who was prominent 011 the right, sent a beautiful centre, which Tommy Davies made no mistake in netting, and thus equalising. The men from the brewery town were playing a good game, and upon more than one occasion proved dangerous. Still, Ton held the upper hand, but failed to utilise the many chances that fell to their lot. Bradshaw sent irt a lovely low shot which just- missed its mark. During the second moiety, the home- sters were on the offensive practically the whole time, but opnortunity after oppor- tunity- was missed. Persistent attack was at last rewarded, when Norris rather smartly scored, thus placing his side one goal ahead. The homesters were con- siderably off Colour, and played a long Avay b.ehiii-d their usual standard. -■ WEST HAM UNITED 3gls.. TON 2. Much interest was evinced in the visit on Monday last of the famous West Ham team to the Rhondda, The game was played in glorious .weather before a splen-

did gate. The field, especially at the 1 Lower -md, was very sloppy. The game proved a very pretty one throughout, and should give a fillip to Soccer in the Prin- cipality. During the opening stages, Ton had rather the better of the game. Right in front of the visitors' goal, Tommy Davies was most deliberately fouled from behind when the goal was at his mercy. No notice of this was taken by the referee. Soon after, a very pretty movement was initiated by Fyfe, who passed to Tommy Davies, and the latter to Bradshaw on the right, who cleverly sent in a lovely shot, and thus opened the scoring for Ton. In a few minutes afterwards, Tommy Davies again found the net with a beauty. The homesters appeared to be out to win against the First Division team, and play was fairly even. The United, however, were much superior in combination. Half-time came with Ton two goals to the good. two goals to the good. After resuming, the visitors had appa- rently sized up their opponents, and soon asserted their superiority. Ton were kept well on the defensive for the greater port 1011. save an occasional burst, when Fyfe once very nearly scored. The spec- tators were treated to some clever nlay bv the visitors. At dribbling and passing they were, adepts, and in rapid succession three goals were scored, two by Black- burn, the inside left, and one by Cald- well, wing forward. It was very clear that Ton were fairly beaten, and have yet a great deal to learn in class football In all departments the visitors excelled, and gi yen a drier field, no doubt would have put uo a fine score. Some of the homesters very foolishly tried to play the Londoners at their own game, instead of sticking to their own. Percival was not to be blamed for one of the three goals scored against him. He defended very cleverly. Russell was the pick of the home .backs. Bradshaw, Fyfe and Tommy Davies played well in the forward line. OWMPARC & TREORCHY UNITED Igl., BARRY DISTRICT 0. This was a Glamorgan League match, played at Cwmparc, and the United fielded with the grim determination of annexing the two points at all costs, for having olayed (and lost to) Treharris, Mardy and Barry (away), they were up to last Saturday pointless" in this League. The Clerk of the Weather, per- haps suffering from lapse of memory, un- accountably blessed the tixture with a fine day, and there was a. fairly good gate. Park were first to attack, and in the first few minutes the Barry goalie was hotly tested by Jack Evans, but he fielded like a, Jessop at mid-off. Geo. Jones and his namesake suffered the penalty of a lack of avoirdupois, for they were fre- quently hustled off the ball when in posi- tion to shoot by Bilson or Prince. Jack Evans, however, was often on the run on the left wing, and his centres deserved intervention by Peake's cranium or foot. Ding-dong play waged in the first half, but never a score, and it was someitime after the interval ere matters looked like finishing favourably for Park. Thoman contributed some thrilling right-wing runs, but Llewellyn was always at home, even when Peake tried to beat him with a well-deserved penalty. Time was on the limit and the crowd were still hunger- stricken for that goal that was so long in coming, when a phenomenal centre by J. Evans, and a trick touch by Peake saw Llewellyn beaten at last. TREHERBERT UNITED 3gls., PORTH IN TERMED I ATE SCHOOL 2. The first meeting of these teams was at Treherbert on Saturday last, on the Treherbert N.U. Grounds. The home team included S. Eveleigh in place of B. J. Williams (injured), and the School who were minus two good men, played Hemmings (a master of the school). Directly after the kick-off, Treherbert made a sharp rush into their opponents' quarters, ana Bonn ell had hard luck m not scoring. By short rushes the School took up the aggressive, but the defence of Bull at full-back was superb. Paddick, the other back, miskicked, and a corner resulted. The kick was well placed by S. Breeze, but the defence prevailed. Bonnell took the ball to the other end of the field, and whilst in the penalty area he was fouled. From the resultant penalty kick, W. Bull gave Dick Rees (the visiting goalie) no chance to save. Porth now pressed, and Paddick gave a woeful display. He again conceded a corner, and eventually the visiting centre forward scored. After the restart, a good display of football was witnessed. Porth were pressing ha^d, when the Treherbert right back handled when within the area. Wallace Davies took the kick, and scored the leading goal for Portlr. Stung by this reverse, Treherbert's forwards played up well, and after a little attack R. Bonnell' equalised amidst cheers. After this, play was fast and somewhat furious. Treherbert were pressing, when a, Porth back handled the ball in the fatal area, and Wallace Bull again scored, thus put- ting the homesters a goal ahead. A hot attack by the School followed, and when their centre forward had a glorious chance of scoring his inside man forestalled him and sent wide. Bull was the saviour of the Treherbert side. Try as they might, Porth failed to equalise, and time was called with Treherbert the winners of a hard-fought game. S. W. Bull was the outstanding player on the field. His display was brilliant and sound. Bonnell was also great for the home team. Hemmings, Breeze, and 0. Jones were the best of the Scheol eleven. The visiting team were enter- tained at tea by their opponents after the match. YSTRAD LADS lgl., ST. CYNON'S RESERVES 0. Ystrad played the return match with St. Cynon's on Saturday last at Lhvyny- pia. Ystrad were not represented at full strength, while St. Cynon's fielded their strongest team. The Lads scored early in the match. Both citadels were bom- barded in turn, and the Saints missed a penalty, which was held by Palmer, the Ystrad. goalie. Time was called with Ystrad leading and the Reserves' ground record gone. LLWYNYPIA RESERVES 2gls, PORTH JUNIORS 0. Played at Porth. Porth started and soon took up the attack, but shot wide. From the kick-off, Llwynypia put the homesters' goal in peril, but failed to score. They were strong upon the attack, however, and by means of a nice bit of combined play, the ball coming from the outside left to the inside, and then to the centre forward, who beat two men, a pretty goal was scored. From the kick-off, the Reserves kept the ball in the Porth half and soon put the goal in danger. From a very good centre by Holland, a second goal was scored by W. H. Evans. FERNDALE ALL BLACKS 3gls., MAINDY CRESCENTS 0. These two teams met on the Darran Grounds on Saturday. The home team was somewhat disorganised, Will Jones, their captain, and W. Rackham, the goal- keeper, being on the injured list. W. Evans kicked off for Ferndale. Maindy were soon on the attack, but were driven back by Bowden, who forced a corner, but with no advantage. Beauti- ful combination by the Ferndale halves initiated by D. J. Evans saw Will Evans, the centre forward, delivering a hot shot which easily defeated his man. On the restart, Ferndale were pressing and kept the Crescents' goal repeatedly in danger. At this juncture Webb, the All Blacks' left wing, was injured, and had to leave the field. Another stinging shot by Evans found the net. Cavill, for the homesters, took a pretty dribble on hie own, beating man after man, and gave a beautiful centre to W. Evans, who made no mis- take in registering the third goal. After lemons, play favoured the visitors, who were pressing very hard on the home goal, but Hopkins cleared well on each occasion.

Shots for Goal. Alas and alack! Ton's precious ground record is gone. To West Ham United belong the honour, and the Reds are by no means disgraced. Ton put up a good defence, but were hopelessly beaten at all phases of play. The visitors thoroughly deserved their victory. Congratulations to Bradshaw, who scored hie first goal—a beauty, too—since he has joined the ranks of the Reds. Fyfe returned to his old position of centre forward. He plays a hard game and is very keen on following up the ball, an example his confreres would do well to imitate. The Reds play Merthvr at Aberdare on Saturday in the semi-final of the South Wales Cup. A stiff tussle is anticipated. Ton managed to beat the men from the brewery town on Thursday last. The visitors were a well-balanced team and gave a good show. Appleby has been badly missed since the injury to his knee. He will not be in the field again for some weeks. Treherbert United A.F.C. are a. greatly improved team, and should they find a good outside left and right back, they would make a fine combination. They played very fine football against the Porth Intermediate School on Satur- day last, and emerged victors by 3 goals to 2. Next Saturday they should give of their best, for they are to meet the Rhondda Pupil Teachers at Treherbert. The Rhondda P.T.'s were fixtured to play the Pontypridd Collegiates on Satur- day. The fixture was postponed because most of the Rhondda team were on the injured list Rhydfelen R.F.C. nearly lost their precious undefeated record on Saturday, when the Treherbert Athletics visited them. The game resulted in a draw of 3 joints each. What next? we wonder. On Saturday. Trebanog R.F.C. (First Division of Rhondda Old Boys' League) were actually beaten by a Second Division team, namely, Treherbert Ex-Schoolboys. The Ex- Schoolboys piled on a score of 14 points to nil.

Ogmore Vale. Bachelors' Tea.—A very enjoyable bachelors' social in honour of St. David was held at Hermon (C.M.) Chapel 011 St. David's-night. At the commence- ment, Mr. Owen (late of Blackmill Hos- pital) read an excellent paper on the life and work of the Patron Saint, and an interesting discussion followed. Tea was served in the vestry, and was wholly supervised by the young men, under the guidance of Mrs. T. Llewellyn. Then followed songs, &c., by the young men of the church, the meeting being controlled by Mr. Morgan (Gilfach), whose witty remarks created much amusement. At the close, the Rev. Charles Williams heartily thanked the young men for their services. The proceeds were devoted towards paying off the hire on the piano which has been used at the weekly meet- ings throughout the winter session. I'

Sensational Zam-Bub Cure. A FAMILY'S OBSTINATE SORES, CUTS, BURNS, & BRUISES HEALED. NEIGHBOURS CONFIRM REMARK- ABLE STORY. It is such remarkable experiences as those of the Barker familv. of 76, Eglin- ton Street, Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. that have established Zam-Buk's repu- tation as a unique and unequalled skin remedy and healer. After an attack of measles three years ago," explained Mrs. Barker to a reporter, "my little boy Joseph broke out with sores all over his head, under his arms, and on his legs. I had to cut all his hair off. The doctor's ointments were no good at all. I then took Joseph to the Sunder- land Infirmary, where I was told lie had eczema. Their treatment did no good either. I next tried cheap ointments and salves, but Joseph's head became a mass of running sores, and his legs and arms were in the isame state. After reading how splendidly Zam- Buk had cured another child's sores, I got some of the balm. My word, but it soon made a difference! Joseph was soothed the first time I put the balm on his skin, and I soon saw that Zam-Buk was moving the eczema. I kept on with it until my child had got -rid of every sore, and had a new kin on his head, arms, and legs. i Since Joseph's cure we have used Zam- Buk for all sorts of things. Little Willie fell off a chair and cut his head, and Zam- Buk soon healed that. Baby had sores on his head when cutting his teeth. Again Zam-Buk stopped the child's cries and quickly removed all the sores. My hus- band, too, uses Zam-Buk for the cuts and knockS he gets in his work on the tram cars. "Polly, our little girl, had nasty. sores on her head. Not having any Zam-Buk in the house I tried a cheap ointment. This made the sores worse, and I saw it was no good depending on cheap stuff, so I sent for" Zam-Buk again. In three days Polly had got rid of every sore, and had a lovely skin again. Zam-Buk certainl-- shows an extra- ordinary healing power which is not to be found in a single one of the many salves we experimented with. If we hap- pen to run out of Zam-Buk my husband always insists on another box of the pre- cious balm being got at once." STORY CONFIRMED BY NEIGHBOURS Seen by a reporter, Mrs. Barker's neigh- bours verified her statements, and also told of the universal benefits from Zam- Bilk Mrs. Marshall, 10. Devonshire Street, Monkwearmouth, said: 1 spilt a cup of hot tea over my breast in bed. Zam-Buk soon drew out the pjain and healed the scald beautifully. My daughter, Ethel, also found Zam-Buk soothing and healing for her badly-burnt hand." Mrs. H. Wateon, 13, Abbs Street, Monk- wearmouth. said I know that Zam-Buk has done Mrs. Barker's family a lot of good I have also ha:1, great benefit from Zam-Buk myself for v bad foot, as well as for cuts and bruises received in my housework."
