ENGLISH CUP. Qualifying Competition. WREXHAM v. RHYL. It must be confessed that Rhyl wenit to Wrex- ham on Saturday to play the qualifying round of the Ei,-g,ibh C p 'n anythi.,il but u I high rp?rits. 0,-io and all appei?.red to realise thai th^y would not have such an easy thing of ;t as they had last year, wbn they defeated Wrexham, and went on swimming- 1, ly for s?-,veral matchc?s. Ile Wre xhainites wer-, then so bidly disappointed that they determined thas year t.ea."o nothing to c-h-uice. Rhyl did not expect to have an &asy -victory this year nor did they anticipate tho 7 to 0 dofeat they re- ceived, but the team is not downhearted. The game was played in doll weather, and from the first the Wrexhamitea showed a de- termination to win. Freeman started for Wrexham, ajid the home forwards going right through, Gordon Jones scored in the first i-rzintite. Griffiths got through directly after- wards, and Blackburn made a grand eave at the expense of a corner, which was cleared. Rhyl made headway, and Coventry had to handle and kick away three times. The via- tors played up well, and the Wrexham defense was none too steady. Play settled down in raid- field, and little of interest transpired for some time. The Wrexham forwards roused them- selves, jwkI Freeman just rnigsfd scoring. Grif- fith had hard line- in f3triking the net with a hard shot. Blackburn saved from Griffiths, and then Gordon lifted the ball over the bar. The homo forwards were now pressing severe- ly. and tih-e Rhyl goal had several narrow escapes. The defenders however, kept their heads, and there was no scoring. The visitors retaliated and glirod a corner. This led to &c.,Ine ex 'tin- piay in the home goal, but tho dan,C?r ca -tu?illy removed. A corner 'or 'V as eve' W,.h.11, w-tz ?%,Al plic,d, but the forward.3 did not tako advantage of the opportunity, and Jones, who was playing well at back, cleared. Several other corners followed, but none were improved upon. Wrexham pressed heavily to- Wuirds the interval. At half-time the score was; Wrexham 1, Rhyl 0. When the game restarted the home teani rcalised that tbo margin with which they had crossed over was too little to peirmit of their taking matters easy, and they went for the Rhyl goalk.ce»>er for all they were worth, and they finished up with a seven g'oal to nil vic- tory, thus effectively cleaning the slate of tho defeat of last year, while visions of the English Cup going to Rhyl faded deeper into the dim and d istaD-t fl-tla-e.

WH:TCHURCH v. BANGOR. Visitora Defeated. There was a very fair attendance at this match at Whitchurch on Saturday. Bangor lost tho toss. Morgan put in a capital run, and opened the score for Whitchuroh with a good shot. The champions kept up the pressure, but the Bangor defence played finely, Roberts especially doing wel. Two free kicks were given against Whitchurch, but both were cleared. Bangor afterwards put in a period of preesing, but there was no sting in their method. After Weaver had changed the venue, the local forwards came down in a line, but the ball was nut out of reach when close to the goal. Whitchurch now made things warm around the visitors' goal, and Mor- gan finally scored with a. shot close in. The home side kept up the pressure, and in the. next couple of minutes Henshail put on the third goal for the champions with a rat-tiing shot. A well-intentioned centre by Weaver was cleared and Callows tried a long dropping shot, which caused trouble. Bangor varied matters by making a move to the ether end, and succeeded in forcing a corner, v,;Iiich did riot, hoivever, corf?e to anvthin?. 1,angor's, stay N%,az i,DL loii,?, I -f mo and a oo?,nb*ne, ve by the home forwards transferred operations, and Whitchurch began another attack, which was wound up bv Foster again scoring. Half-time: Whitchurch, four goals; Bangor, none. On the re-start Davies (Bangor) was unlucky with a nard dnve which shivered the upright. Whitchurch made a move to the other end, °but offside barred their progress. Roberts set his ?3?,e once more, and Imn&- beir, gi iven ag?tliist Wiiltch-ai-ch ri-lil. in 'e goal area, iian_ -or were a.N-ardfd a pz?alty. Fro-rn this Siecran opened Bangor's account. Later, Weaver gave to licrishall. who brought about Bailor's down- tail. ilio home forwards were now particularly aggressive, and were giving the visitors' defence a lively game. sending in a variety of shots. Ait-er a tune Bangor managed to break awav, and getting close up, Pritohard scored for them. 1 lay_ was goon transferred to the other eud, and except for spasmodic efforts by Bangor, the champions wero doing all the pressing, and the end came with the score:—Whitchurch, six goals; Bamror, two goals.

A PENALTY KICK. A penalty kiok was awarded against Harris, but the Bangor custodian effected a brilliant save, hia clearance being clean and finished.

BANGOR NORMAL COLLEGE v. Y.M.C.A. :0- The opening match of tlio season between the above teams was played on Saturday, on the Normal ground, at Bangor. In tho opening stages of the game the Nor- mals pressed, and the Y.M C.A. full back couid clear only at the expense of a corner.

After tilill second reverse the Normals played with more deter- mination, and the right wing made efforts to score. Attenboro and Turner combined well, and the 1; tter, after smart individual play, scored for the College. Shortly afterwards half-time w-13 called with the score reading:— Y.M.O.A. 2; Normals, 1. In the first- few minutes of the second half, the Normals seemed to be getting the best of matters. Bassetrf, took a run along the lino and beautifully placed the ball, which enabled Phillips to r-core one of his characteristic goaJs. Thus for a time the teams were level, but the pace coupled .vith lack of training was evi- dently tolling upon the coPegians, who began to slacken in their efforts to score. This falling off was especially noticeable in the backs, who became unsteady under pressure. Taking ad- vantage of a miskiek by Webb, the opposing oentrc-forward rushed up and scorcd the winning goal for the Y.M.C.A.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. (By "Criticus.") The much abused bddyt (especially this sea- son), the liangar Committee musit bo comraend- ed for their action in giving, an opportunity to locaJ youths to show what they can do. Seraaon aiter eeaaon. one sees the same familiar faees in both teams run by the clu..J, and if by a.ny oh-a^ioo a new man is drafted into either of them, ho generally hails from outside the city. Saifcurday's game clearly demonstra- too that we have in our midst youths who need only a little more practice and culture to develop iusto useful players. » » < BÍlght of the eleven layers in the Rcsorve team chosen to meet Blaenau Festinioa- ware straJWfCTB to the habitues of the Bangor cnclo- suro, although they were "natives/' It was a risky experiment, but as I have said before the committee are to be conjgirattulated on tlieir courage, and each of the new coanera deservedi his place in the team. < < It need hardly be said that the game started late, although tho quarrymen were on the ground exactly at the aickvertised time. Before the home lot quite realised that the game had opened, tihe visitors raided their goil. After this BpUirt play simmered down, but the visitors were showing up w-cll. • u # » A misunderstanding between the Bangor full backs affcfexled J. Jones, the visiting centre forward, a glorious chance, but he aimed at the mm instead of the goal. The frrst goal fell to Btangor, Haasry Williams doing the trick with a beauty. The quarrymen did not relish this reverse, -aad they went about their wock hammer and ton.gs only to fail miserable when inside the danger zone. With a shot which left nothing to be desired, D. Allen Jones ca.ptured the visitor's goal for the eooond time. 9 The next item of interest was the saving of a penalty kick by the Bangor custodian, who made a clean joo of it. During the whole of the first half, Bangor had playjed ten men, but it was curious tha<fc when they had the full complement in the second half their play de- teriorated. • • # « Throughout the second half the Festiniog ex- treme wingers troubled the Bangor defence, Rind at length R. Roberts beat the Bangor cus- todian all enklo up, and before the game con- cluded, the visitors euoceedcd ion effecting a draw. On the whole, the eoore is a fair indication of ftho run of tie game, which was not charac- terized by a high stajxLaoxl of football. Tho quanrymen have a rough and ready mode of playing, and their methods unbeautiful, though they appeared to the spectators, frequently upset the calculations of the homesters who relied more on the pair lour typo of football. ♦ w # w Collectively, the Bangor forwards performed in a sititsfactca- mannm. There were a few hitches, which were only to bo expected at the commeneement of the seaisosi. Having the advantage of being well built, W. Oliver Griffith should turn out a useful man at out- side right, but hie brother, R. A. Griffith, in the centre fonward petition, was inclined to be a trifle selfish. Hanry Williams put in a deal of tricky work, and Hughic Owen's play wad marked by much cleverness. He struck me as being a likely youth. Full of zeal and energy, Hairry Evams bustled aJjtout and man- aged to get through some useful work, but he would be well advised to part with tho ball a little more frequently. » # « Metillh<),Iland was the bcut Of fdlc ll',Ilvcs, D. A. J<)-rl-eS ULL11HYiDe big play by -r i c, 10 quc?s?", able tactics. Tho other momibei of the line, who played only half the game, was evidently a novice. Harris was tho better of the full backs, but he was foolish to give away a penalty kick. Bob Roberts was in better form in the second than in the first half Nothing but praise is dJue to Hugh R. Wil- liams, the custodian, who was always on the alert, aroi his sxving of tho penalty was a feature of the game. "Learn to shoot for goal," is the best advice which can bo griven to the Blaenau Festiniog team. They had absolutely no ide-a of the a.rt of goal-gottintg on Saiu-rday. They don't lack enthusiasm (whioh on Saturday, by th^ way, took tho form cf tearing after' the ball like mad wherever it wont,), but they have yet to mastor the niceties of the game. If tliey went about their work Tilom quietly a.nd in a cooler spirit, tho probabilities are that they would scoro metro goals. The best department of the team was the full back line both men driving the ball down the field with great force. Meirion Toriles in p'a,-i-i-aiilax, ma& am c,callent _11,ow. l'b4a out- f3,?de left, G. Jon,(?s, is a eo,?, of man with a rare turn of speed, he being the most troublesome of the forward line, though Robert Ivoberfcs, the right wingetr, aoooniolishod eenne excelleait work. The half hack line can be improved upon, and hho goalkeeper can do with some more practice, especially in avoiding putting the ball through his own goal. • • 11 A c>orxoV,>,id-A -Lth tlld ll()m Cle plumo Old Footballer," writ% m follzwe ?: -It -vvas -%vith niuch mgvret that I rcad i I, I a,, Nci-?h ,t weck's Wad'as Cbff-xucl&' that tm'o mcii,?bers of the Ban,Gr te-ain had dmided to join t rival club.

FOOTBALL. EliaOUES OF FOOTBALL BY TOM WATSON. Humours of Football," indeed! It ail de- ruds upon the humourist and the person he inflicting his humour upon. It must be Apparent that to tell forth the humours of football in cold print is one thing and to tell phem verbally is another. A. distinction with distinct difference. Some of the funniest Iarna imaginable will f all flat in the natter of laughter-making when yon read hem in print. Besides, there are varying natures of humour. To see a man charged 1Jy a footballer and sent fifty yards is what Some folk call "funny, blooming funny." Therefore I come to the topic with fear and trembling. I trust readers will not treat me harshly if the joke does not strike home. It is immensely hot while I am writing this, and as I have had eggs for breakfast I could not have chosen a better moment to com- mence my attack on you. I am full of— yokes! KICKING THE BBFEKBB. The funniest incident of my football career happened quite recently. What is latest is best, they say, and it is certainly a true maxim in my case. It happened in a match at the League champions' ground last season. Liverpool were going strongly for the League Lup. Equally strongly were the Sunder- land team of which I had the honour of be- ing secretary till ten years ago—going strongly for relegation in Division II. of the «ague by reaaon of finishing in the last two 0 the twenty clubs. Of course, feeling and excitement ran pretty high, and the 22 players were as keen as mustard on winning. Uur man Carlin is an excellent forward, per- haps a little too impetuous. Three parts through the game Carlin was fouled, the re- gave a kick and captioned tha fading player. Having done this, the whistle-blower turned "ound to make for the ounderland goal. Carlin forgot himself in the excitement of the moment and kicked at the player who had a few seconds before louled him. He must have got mixed up in his vision of legs and boots, for instead of kicking his opponent he kieked-the referee! r~6 people laughed at his error when they brought themselves to realise the accident, but it was some time ere they could get over their astonishment. Fortunately for the player the referee overlooked the offence. How many others would have done likewise? A SCOTCH WELCOME. Of course there are many stories of football agents and their accidents," the funniest of all as far as I was concerned happening inany years ago when the invasion of Scot- land by English clubs officials was being witnessed. Together with a deputy, and ac- companied by a clerical gentleman who was spending a holiday in Scotland, I went to a certain spot and we put up at an hotel. Im- •giae our surprise and apparently good luck when one morning soon after we had risen from bed a message from the porter an- nounced that Tom Watson was wanted by a gentlemen outside.

"Good business," said I; but at night I had a terrible toothache and I simply could not go to the arranged meeting- p ace. However, we could not dream of dis- appointing a player of Joek's ability, so I K deputy to see him and arrange the terms. The clergyman asked if he could „_eora1Paj:iy the agent, and naturally I greed.

My solfiier ncighbour mut- r-ed "Thought so, you fool." 'rhese kind expressions did not quite meet with my approval, and I told him. so. Then Mr. Bent- ley came in for a rub, and he, too. informed the soldier that even though it wás his first atch he had paid his money and had a I fIght to .expresó an opimon on the game. Peace reIgned supreme till half-time, when We went to the bar to lubricate our voiee tubes. For he joke of the thing we invited the two soldIers to in us in drink, and on the way t.o the refreshment the abusive offi- cer coolly consoled us by saying that he was 8erry "and 1I that," but he could see we had neVer seen a match before. We told him not to bother, because we didn't mind.

NORTH WALES COAST LEAGUE. I First Division. ("North Wales Chronicle" ChaUenge Cup.) BANGOR RESERVE v. BLAENAU FESTiNIOG. Quarrymen Capture a Point. (By "Recorder.") I Only three of lasit season's Bangor Reserve toajm played against Blaenau Festiniog at Bangor on Saitarday. It was a rather daring cxjxjri-maiiit, but the committee cure to be com- plimented upon it for several youths, whoso capabilities have been hidden beneath the bushel, wore giveai a chance to distinguish themselves, and the club is sadly in need of fresh blood. The teams wore: — Baaigor: Hugh R. Williams, goal; Bob Ro- berta and Harris, full backs; Mullholand, D. A. JiaiDes, ajid W. H. Jones, half backs; W. Olivar Griffith, Harry Williams, R. A. Grif- fith, ilairry Evans, and Hughie Owen, forwards. Blacaiau Feetimog: Ellis Hughes, goal;. Meirion Jonas and Rowlands, full backs; Lidyd, R. Rob orbs, aaid Stanley, half backs; R. Roberts, W. R. Williams, J. Jones, W. Rowlands, G. Jones, forwards. Rofereo, Mr IIersee, Llandaidno. Ila.n,ar I-,aid a nxin tiwri when the gam, as u&ioj. The vir,* s 'tatrted the operxxl latk- Itlox" game v?ith raqe verve, and G.

Taking advan- tage of a misunderstanding between the Bain- gor full backs, J. Jones, the visiting centre forward, slipped through the opening and drove the ball streets over the bar. Frequently the visitors worked their way up to the Ban- gar goal only to make a fealfful hash of it when it came to the final shot. Harry Evans, the Ba^igor outside left, ran the length of the field wiA the ball at his toe, and en route two playeeE, unsuccessfully tried to capsize hdm, but lie managed to wind up with a grand shot. After seventeen minutes' play, Harry Williams qp'xned the soaring for Bangor with a well judged phot. Now and then the visitors broke away, but their goal-getting efforts were ludicrous in the extreme. With a beautv, D. Allen Jones brought about the downfall ol the quanrymen's goal for the second time, the cuataiian not having the slightest chance of saving. Three of the Festiniog players were sba.tDoned in fmomt of the P-,augoir goal when the ball was whipped across on the ground, but the tIio clean misaed it to the great amuse- merut of the crowd. The visiting custodian in Gating the ball fram the foot of Mul Iholand almost sent through his own goal.

GOLF NOTES. NORTH WALES PLAYERS ON THE CHAM- PIONSHIP QUESTION. Last week we published some particulars re- lating to the conditions under which competi- tors are allowed to enter for the Isli Golf- ing Championship. We then quoted the opin- ion of Mr Lngledew, a prominent South Wales golfer, on tho matter, and it will be recollected that be contended that members of Welsh proprietary clubs should qualify for the compe- tition, and on that point, as well as the much deputed question of whether proprietary clubs should be affiliated to the Welsh Golfing Union we "append below the views of some North Wales golfers, CARNARVONSHIRE CLUB: MEMBERS SPEAK. Interviewed by our representative this week, two well-known members of the Carnarvonshire Golf Club expressed their opinions on the two points. "In the first plaoe," inquired the interviewer, "do vou 'believe that proprietary clubs should bo affiliated to tlie Union?" "Certainly not," was the prompt reply. "At least, not under existing c-o'n{1itiol1S. You may as well suggest that a professional football team, whioh is run for the benefit of a few money-grabbere, should be affiliated to an Union run on strictly amateur lines. No; it will newer do. But this point has been thrashed out at interminable length already. What on earth is the use of reviving it now ? If those who are at the bottom of it think their efforts are going to succeed through sheer persistency they are hugely mistaKcn. Things must alter vastly before the Welsh Union will entertain the matter for a moment. That, you may take it from me, is an indis- L puta!b!o f?wt The thing ri,diculouc, "Then as to the qualification of the member of a proprietary club for the championship competition ?" "Well, tha.t is a horse of another colour. You sec, en the face of it, as you say in you* notes of last week, it does eeem somewhat" un- fair that a man, who is a bona fido amateur in every respect, should be barred from trying his luel?, -,imply b?-cai,.so b4,, may be-as we Tris 'ly c,, .v --ncci-;e it t,) be POssible-compellpd to, j.oln f?

I cluito ag-ree tj-lolo i?, a clist?,net there, ajid 1, for one, v?lmli'ld be quii?ip pfc?pa;red to meet I)ig on the other han,d,, such cases azc very -rare, 'Very 1 rare indeed. Denft mistake mo, however. When I im-, they, nuro what I mean is that men who would have the remotest cbenoo of wiurwing the dxunpianship are very rarely found in the predicament indicated. As a rule—indeed, I d)mt know of a single excep- tion—"class pi ay erf?,' as they are termed, be- omg to at least two club3. If they find a pro- prietary club is more oonvenient for their practising purposes, they always join a "regula- tion' club in order to establish their status." "I presume the comparative srnaliness of the fees in Welsh clubs makes that passible for meet players V "Quito eo. Here in Wales the entrance money and the annual subscriptions awe very small aa compared with those prevailing in England, and a main is not bound to be a mrilkmaano before he can jeiDt-wdl half a dozen olubs if you like. So you see there is very little in the proprietary-club members complaint after all. As a matter of fact, I doubt very much whether you would find a handicap-six man throughout the whole of Wales who does not belctriig to at least two clubs, and I need scarcely add that the two clubs would not be of the proprietary charae- ter." The second gentleman was equally emphatic mtelligibility of a proprietary club for affiktatjom to the Union. Spoakrnig on tho second point he said: ''While I hold that proprietary dubs should not be permitted to join the Union, I must, of oaunse, to be consistent, disregard the right of the proprietary club member to contest the championship. If you wink at the member's status so must you wink at the status of his club. In other words, if you acknowledge the status of the member so must you aoknowledjre that of has club." "But do you thank it would be right to title a mam as the champion of Wales when as a matter of fact tho contest is not an open one V 11 it is a on to amateurs. Pcxsonally, I re- 0,, %r,d t? g, &a ,o who aro outside the Union in- etllilgiblo in just tl-ic &amo way as a evoliet com- ioi a cycle roco run andet N.t7.U. rules untl be lms eMaWishe?d his CladM to be an amateur. When you are accepted as a member of a fully recognised Union club My opinion is that the. Welsh Union should stick to its guns ae it has in tho past. I I COLWYN BAY CLUB MEMBERS' VIEWS. Mr William Jones, a member of the Colwyn nay Golf Club, said he was certainly in favour of the view taken by Mr Ingledew, that mem- bers of proprietary clubs should be allowed to compete at Union meetings so long as the club is governed by a properly constituted committee, and the handicaps of the men be re-arrangcd from time to time. He was against the pro- prietors of such a club taking part in deter- mining the handicap of the men, and he believed that in some cases the handicapping was practically done by proprietors. If such a state of things continues it would be absolutely im- possible for members of such clubs to compete at Union meetings. As to courses, he did not believe in roaming about too much. If two good counses were selected in North Wales, and an equal number in South Wales—assuming that the committees of such clubs were agreeable to the terms—it would be better to have the Union meetings held on those four only rather than as at present. Under the rules courses must be not less than 18 holes. Happily, the Rhyl course waa now being converted into one of full size, a.nd when the work was completed things would be different, but under prevailing conditions those at Conway and Aberdovey were the only courses which could be selected in North Wales. It was a pity that the Harlech Club was not at- tached to tho Union at present. It had been at one time, and its course was one of the finest in Wales. If they could be induced to rejoin the Union, and to permit the playing of tho championship on the course once every six years, it would be a distinct gain, as that would make the meetings more representative. Some of the finest players in Wales were members of the Harlcch Club, and at present they took little part in the championship meeting. Mr Jones deplored the fact that the Colwyn Bay links were not of the dimensions necessary to carry on the Union competitions upon them. Mr P. N. G. Holmes, captain of the Colwyn Bay Golf Club, when interviewed by our repre- sentative, said he agreed in every respect with the views of Mr Jones, as quoted above. In addition be pointed out that so long as a club bo properly managed by a committee, and sub- scriptions^ be paid for the last two years, and a balance slicet shown, there was no"reason whv members of proprietary clubs should be ex- cluded from the Union championship contest.
