'I CRICKET. t SATURDAY'S MATCHES. HILLS PLYMOUTH (SfEBTHYR) Y. SAEDIFF. NASH'S FINE BOWLING. These clubs met on the Cardiff Arms Park in unsettled weather, and before a small attendance. Rain delayed the start, and lanch was taken before a commencement was made. Cardiff won the toss and went in to bat on a good, if slow, wicket.. The start was unfortunate, Gibeon and Riches be- ing both clean bowled by Hacker with onl.v 11 mns scored. The ex-Gloucestershire professional was in good form with the ball, and by bowling Cording he gained the first three wickets, and only had six runs hit off him. Robotham and Symonds pnt a better complexion on the game, both batting steadily, and also making good hits. They sent tho score up to 44. when Robotharo was splendidly caught and bowled for a timely 15. Symonds con- tinned to bat well, and looked safe for his 50 when he was canght from a ball which came off the edge of his bat. lIe had played sound cricket, and his innings was an invaluable one. Baskerville and Tait also rendered useful service, especiaUy Tait, who played a capital innings of 30. The innings closed for IM-a much bigger total tlmn in the early stages appeared likely. Hacker and Hordley equally divided the wickets, the first-named having five for 4l runs and Hordley live for 42. The visi- tors made an even worse start than Cardiff had done, losing two wickets for seven runs, and even- tuallv being all disposed of for the low total of 44, Cardiff thus winning by 83 runs, four of the men failing to score. and not one reaching double figures. Nash was in great form with the ball. He cap- tured eight wickets at a cost of only 13 runs'. Bain- ton, who bowled unchanged with him. had two for 26 R. J.

TUESDAY'S MATCHES. HILL'S PLYMOUTH (MERTHYR) V. EBBW VALE. The Hill's Plymouth' (Merthyr) team paid their first visit to Ebbw Vale in an all-day match, on Tuesday, and attracted a record gate. The weath- er was all that could be desired, and the pitch in perfect order. The visitors went to the wicket first, and thanks to the loose fielding of the home side, they ran up a respectable score of 190 for nine wickets—the innings being declared at 10 minutes to 4 o'clock. It was difficult to see upon what grounds the captain of the visitors decided upon this course, seeing that there was only one wicket to fall, and in all probability his "life was a short one. They should have given Ebbw Vale the credit of getting the whole side out for a com- paratively small score for such a strong batting side. "VRibb gave several easy chances during his 74, and shoflld have been disposed of when only two bad been registered Watts and Moore played sound cricket. Ebbw Vale started well. and Wright and E. Watkins looked like getting any amount of runs. With the score at 30, Watkins had an acci- dent to his knee, and bad to retire. The bats- men were well set at the time, and it was exceed- ingly unfortunate for Ebbw Vale. Wright was joined by Clarke, and the score rose steadily until the former was well caught by Webb for a useful 18. S. H. Irish and Clarke put runs on steadily, the former cutting and driving with much force He made a stylish 17, and Clarke was responsible for 23. Graham was the only other batsman that did anything of note, and was unfortunate. in be- ing ran out when he had made 16. When D. Davies was at the wicket, it looked any odds upon the match ending in a draw. After he had made six. Hacker made an appeal for Ibw, which was suc- cessful. The decision did not please the Vahans. but Davies bad to go. It was the critical period of the game. Bob Watkins made a bold bid to keep his end up, and was loudly cheered for his defen- sive work. Cross sent him up a feeler, which Watkins drove out of the field for six, the next ball, however, proved his undoing. He had con- tributed a useful 13. The innings closed for 124. Evan Watkins came back, and completed his in- j nings, D. J. Richards doing the running. He was bowled for 22. Scores;- I Hill's Plymouth (Merthyr). A. S. Webb, b Clarke 74 H B.

SUPERIOR MERIT. REMARKABLE CURATIVE PROPER- TIES OF A REMEDY FOR INDIGES- TION AND STOMACH WEAKNESS. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a preparation for the cure of dyspepsia and the various forms of indigestion and stomach trouble, owes its great success as a cure for these troubles to the fact that it is prepared for disease and weakness of the stomach and digestive organs only, and is not recommended or advised for any other disease. It is [not a cure-all, but for any stomach trouble it is undoubtedly the safest, most sensible remedy that cah be advised with the prospect of a permanent cure. It is prepared in tablet form, pleasant to taste composed of vegetable and fruit essences, oure peptin and Golden Seal, every one of which act effectively in digesting the food eaten, thereby resting and invigorating the weak stomach; rest is nature's care- for any disease, but you cannot rest the stomach unless you put into it something that will do its work or assist in the digestion of food. That is exactly what Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do: one grain of the digestive principle contained in them will digest 3,000 grains of meat, eggs or similar wholesome foods; they will digest the food whether the stomach is in working order or not. thereby nourishing the body and resting the stomach at the same time; and rest and nourishment is caterer core for any weakness. In persons run down in flesh and appetite these tablets build up the strength and in- crease flesh, because they digest flesh-forming food which the weak stomach cannot do, they increase the flow of gastric juice, and prevent fermentation, acidity and soar watery risings. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets may be obtained of all chemists at I/Ii. 2/9 or 4/6, or send your name and address for free sample package to F. A. Stuart Co.. 86 Cler ken well Road, London, E.C.

Ebbw Vale Cricket Club, who made a successful re-appearance at Ynysddu, on Saturday, by de- feating that strong side by a substantial margin, met Tredecar in an all-day match, on the .Bridgend Field, on Monday, and as is generally the case in matches between these neighbouring teams, the usual keen interest was taken in the match. It was the first home game since the relaying of the new pitch, and the first impression the players had was that it was in excellent condition, and a vast improvement upon what, was found last year. MT J. E. Gibson, a well-known and experienced hand at laying greens, was heartily congratulated upon petting such a fine surface so early in the season. The game proved a very enjoyable one, and al- though Ebbw Vale got home by a margin of 28 runs, the sides were fairly even in point of merit. p The advancement of cricket in Ebbw Vale and Tredegar has been most marked during the last two seasons, and it is to be hoped the public gen- erally will appreciate the efforts of both clubs to give the public an opportunity of seeing the old national game under the best conditions.
