(Continued from page 4.) ball away over their heads, Griffiths attempted to kick it, with the result that it struck Elias Roberts a terrible blow on the head, completely stunning him, and to everybody's surprise the ball was found: in ,the net. This was indeed a lucky goal. The reverse created new life in. the hainesters, who worked hard to draw level, Gal- lagher being exceedingly prominent. Half- time arrived with the visitors leading by one goal to nil. The second half of the "ame was decidedly in favour of the homesters, who kept up a con- tinual pressure on the: visitors. A free kick against the visiting custodian, gave Den)bigh their opportunity, but they failed to take ad- vantage of it. Slhots were rained on Jones from all directions, and it was not long before Gal- lagher, with a rasping shot, beat Jones amidst tremendous cheerinig. The homesters kept try the attack, but scim-c indifferent play on the part of Davies spoilt several of Denbigh's chances. From the touch line, R. M. Evans tried his luck. His shot was a true one, but Jones was on the qui vive, and with difficulty he cleared his lines. The last portion of the game was all in favour -of Denbigh, but in front of goal, as I have previously stated, they were like a lot of children. A certain goal which be- longed to R. M. Evans was spoilt by E. E. Davies, who, although asked bv his partner to leave it alone, tried his head, and sent the ball yards of the mark. The game ended in a drmw of one goal each. COMMENTS. The match was one of the poorest I have wit- nessed this season, and I believe last season as well. The visitors were not of the old Chirk stomp, although one or two. of their players were responsible for some smart work at times. Of the forward line, Elias Roberts and Kiddy were the triers. The half-backs and backs were not at all safe, and but for the excellent keeping of Jones, the score would have read differently. For the hlomesters, Griffiths played a brilliant game, but this was maned somewhat by the (mistake he made, and which cost his, side a goal. Of the two backs, Dickens and Smith, the former was more trustworthy, and towards the closinjg stages he defended well. Smith was not safe at times, and allowed Elias Roberts too much rope during the ,second half. The half- back line was a good one, and although, it was felt that Hugh Evans was ,n.-ot 1Tl his best form, after his recent illness, he was certainly one of the best men on the field, and was ably seconded by T. A. Davies. Randies is a new half-back, not unknown to Denbigh crowds, but he was too fond of dribbling. However, this, his first per- formance in the middle line, was a meritorious one. Of the forward line, Gallagher was the best man. He did try and' score. Berwyn Davies was not given the opportunity. He is beXnK continually starved. R. M. Evans played better than I have seen him before, and it would be well if he tries his luick from iong range, as- he did on Saturday. R. Thomas played a fair game, but he is considerably at fault in starv- ing Berwyn, who has a reputation for scoring, but is not given an opoortunity. E. E. Davies is the last player I wish to speak about. At Bangor, a fortnight ago, I watched his play, and could honestly say that he played' the game of his life, but last Saturday he was nothing more or less thian a' passenger—and a passenger who. spoilt the movements of the forward line to a, large measure. The play, I know, is in him, but what brings about these bits of bad play, I cannot understand. No doubt, perhaps, the sroectatiOTis have something to do with it, for, as Meredith recently said, it would be well if spec- tators cheersd a player when he made a mistake, than to jeer at him. .e_
