BANGOR v. SALTNEY. CITY FORWARDS REGAIN THEIR FORM. (By "Bangor 2 Saluiey .I.I. a Con idering the unsat-Maetory pcrlarnMinees ol- the I Bangor team up to the present, it was surprising to to see such a large attendance at Saturday's match, 1 when Saltney, a new team in the Combination, were the visitors. A broiling hot sun made the lot of the players anything but a happy oi-ie. At the last moment several .:lmn>;e8 haJ to be made in the home team owing to a variety of reasons. Will Evans was selected to play fuH-back, but it vuzi- discovered that he had not been signed, and a family fceieavement pre- vented Jo: Wilfinms frrni turning out. W. a native of the city, but who is engaged up North, BgqtreJ bz,twe.,n th:! sti,,kg, an(.' a trial was given Ja,,k Jones, of Rhyl. The following were the teams — Bangor:—W. Jones; D. J, Thomas and Jack Jones; J. KL Davies, Alf. Thomas and J. Arridge J. Thomas, H. Owen, Hariy Williams, H. Davies and A. Oliver. 1 Saltney:—Pennington; Hewitt and Me/nnes; Trim- letfc, Benvon ::nd Challir.or L' atherer, J. Jones; S. Jones, Cellen and Evans. Referee :—Mr Cooke, Chirk. Saltney first pressed anil Jack Jones immediately sprang into'prominence with some fine defensive work, and" tli nigh he sent the ball well down the held the visiting forwards soon became active again, and twice the Bangor -custodian had to handle. In a few minutes the Bangor forwards were lH,i!1g through the medium of Oliver, who passed the ball over to H. Owen. The inside right crashed in a shut and to save IViuiirgioii threw him--elf bodily at the ba'l and clear- ed. Hughie Davies, however, trapped it, 3.111 had the honour ef scoring Bangor's first Combination goal this season, and of •• -urse th?re was the usual cere- mony of hand shaking In a trice Alf Thomas clean missed his kick in front :of the Bangor goal, and only a marvello-.s clearance ty W. Jon?# prevented Saltney from equalising. It n iw became ckar that Bangor were opposing a formidable and clever team, wc-fl up in combimtion. and the forwards made the home backs hustle a bit. Still Bangor were holding their own and both Jack Jones and Oliver sent in beauties. The Bang-jr halves showed great weakness hereabouts, being loth to part with the hall, whilst the forwards played much better than they haVe done up to the present, and their efforts in the gf the Saltney goal quite cheered the home crowd. From end to end the bail quickly travelled. At last Jones sent in a shot which appeared to be gcing out of play when Ay UNEXPECTED GOAL. D. J. Tlumas touched the bad, and to the chagrin of the custodian, he diverted the ball into the net. This was a sad pill, but the homesters were in no way dismayed, and from the corner kick, accurately placed by H. Davkjs. Oliver marly headed through. It was clear* that the weak spot in the Bangor defcnce was cn the left, and this weakness enabled Saltney to gain the lead with a "solf goal. The Bangor men now b-glill to play wildly, and when Harry Williams found him.elf acne in mid-field, he attempted to stiike the corner post. Then Hughie Davies, Harry Williams nd H. Owen rund themselves in front of the saltney with a hue opening, and they made a glsrious I of it. Half-time Saltney 2, Bangor 1. The first attack after the interval was made by Bangor, H. Owen sending just over At the other end, Trimiett almost scored. Again H. Owen raised the hopes of the crowd and Pennington was decidedly clever in scooping the ball out. For a few minutes the s'altney goal was literally bombarded and really the homesters should have equalised. Da*ie«, the Bangor half again showed las incapacity even with a free kick'. Joe Thomas wis cheered for a drive which wag an inch or two i; the wrong side. and this en- couraged his colleagues to Sellll in from all ranges. ABRIDGE FELLS A CHIMNFY POT. A laugh went round the field just now, Jack Arridge, in clearing, kicking the ball against one of the chim- ney pots which flank the ground, and he brought it down. Five minutes after, Arridge had another dis- tinction, that of equalising for Bangor. sending through a ruck of players. With the socres level additional Interest wa-s taken in the game, and Hughie Owen did some grand footwork for Bangor and his colleague was also cheered for hard play. The visiting centre for- ward looked like getting through, when D. J. Thomas st,pped him, and the supporters of the visiting team rather resented, the decision of the referee in award- ing a free kick, as it rubbed their side of a glorious chanoe. Just now Alt. Thomar commenced to get into his stride, and he potted for goal a little oftener. The Saltney goal was assailed from all quarter*, and it experienced marvellous escapes. -Right up to the finish the ball was in the vicinity of the Sattney tfMtJ, but there was. no further scoring, the final result being: Saafor 2, Saltney X J

COLWVN BAY v. BANGOR. CITY REPRESENTATIVES VICTORIOUS. Bangor$goals- Colwyn Bay « gca.s. One would have re ellixl in a good g'ame cf otickct on Saturday, but. foo: bali was p::citiv-lj unthinkable. At mid-day the tiierii-olue-er verged on the eighties, find there was but ^cry little difforence wuen theCoIvvyn Bay and l>an- ,r teams turned out-at 3.3C on lthos groMiUi for their first League fixture. Under su.h cir- cumstances no one could have anticipated the strenuous struggle which to-k placc. The teams were: — y. Coiwyn Bay: HaJlwood; Tonkin and O. !'<■ Williams; Ned Griffiths, McCann, and V al- er Parry; Men, Jones, J. Jones, Howell Wil- liams, Stanley Hughes, and J. L1, Owen. BanMor: H. R- Williams: D- S.

Coiwyn Bay were tvo men short of the chosen side, one (Rowland) being do v. n with a slight indisposition. The vac-i»:t places; were filled by Ned Griffiths (right half) and Jimmy Jones (inside right), the two men turning o.it about five minutes after tho game c imn-n cd. Bangor were a formida.ble team. Cluei amongst the eleven wero Dicky Jones, the1 veteran, who partnered Meredith in the international played at Llandudno several year.s ag"o, arid tho bro- ther W.

Jenej making an opening on the loft, which must have borne good fruit but for a timely clearan-e by Walter Parry- Ends were then changed three or four timce at a paoc. which was not a little soi"pri.^ing c-n- sideiing' the great heat. Bangor relied upon their own pretty, short-pusiing game in which [ "Dicky" generallcd the forwards W :th splendid success. The Coiwyn Bay attack, on the otliir hand, took the form of long, swinging pa.ce-. right acrc,s the ground, and th u-gh the latter method seemed to Lv j unified tsy the early au c-Si of the home men, the visitors' was obviously the proper g'ame on oS) u tc, en a 'laying pitch. t'olwyn Bay forced the first corr.or, which was the result of r-b-.iist work by Stanley Ilu'ghes. Moss Jones sent In u faultU^s flag kick, which llowell Williams eusilv s:ccred into the net with his head, 'ine Bangor right were in evidence scon afterwards, but Thomas' sheeting was faulty. Immediately afterwards the visiters w.-re penalised, and J. Jon s experienced the worst of lack over a capital -iil--t irom twenty yards out. At this stage Colwvn Bay were full of business, and playing really sound football. Another hot at,&k- followed on the Bajitor goai, and 1), S. Owen was SJ hard prcstcd -,hat. he wa:1 forced to k:ck cut when only a couple of yards from his own line. '11:c throw-in was all but headed through by Stanley.

Coiwyn Bay backs revealed in thk connection the same vvcak- ne-a that marked their \\().r}.; tlirougfcoat the game—tie."? never attempted to cover one an- other, and Tonkin, who apparently finds it difficult to drop old "Rugger" methods, ro- peatedly r-Mined out of his position uanecc.sar- lly. Two minutes later Coiwyn Bay were attuoking etubbornly, and one had an oppor- tuaiity oi com paring tho work cf the v si ing backs with that of the home cduple. 'Ihe City men were far Ill()re seveivly tested, and it was genuine pleasure to wi:nc«s the i)-erfe-t ha;- mony which characterised their display. Ilwfa and "D. S." are, cX courv?, in the first flight of backs in this half of Cambria, and it vv s with mixed feelings that lo al enthusiasts saw the latter-a Coiwyn Bay boy—-frustrate so many cf their favourites' schemes- Jimmy Jones, who up to tUs point had been plaving k en fo,;t- ball, was guilty of wlfishneso hereabouts,, other- wise Coiwyn Bay would have leapt ahead. The second goal came in due time, however. The ball had been dangling in frrnt. of W i1- liams for some time, when J. Ll. Owen nip; ed L;ip on the fir wing and omcred most ski.f, iiy. The ball was met by the home pivot, who misred it. but Stanley promptly > ounced upon it, and majoriscd smartly. Once more a goal i,iiea,d, Colwyn Bay rallied again brtskly, and quite a. series of assanfts followed on Williair.s" g'0é1.1, but the goalee was splendidly s; pp r ed by the two backs. But for their sound de- fence Bangor must have been teat en at le;i.t twice in quick succession at this p-int, and Jimmv Jones directing fine sho's.- At length Ned Grifliths. with a well judged pass, placed H oll Williams in a position which u the latter took full advantage of, Wiliiama making a weak effort to ..aye his charge- At half-time the scores were: Coiwyn Bay 3 goals, Bangor 1 g'oal. Up to this stage Coiwyn Bay had no do. b. had the best of the game, but they were not two goals the be t. r. Their su-'po;ters were quite hopeful, particularly in view of the fa t that they wculd be playing towards their fa- vouffite goal in the second moiety, and, judg- ing by the manner in which they resumed the game, their hopes were fully justified. For ten minutes the visitors were s':r .ly pressed. Then a long* kick by flwia, who b. the way now played at centre half vioo Ireland, wilo had fallen into the back position, brought re- lief, and seme dosukory play took place in the hoti-e territory. This culminated in a rush to the hemic goalmouth, where a scrimmage took plane, and Halhvood, who was uusigh ed, was finally beaten. This brought out the very best qualities in the visitors, whereas the Coiwyn Bay li.en appeared to be well o.nfent wi h the odd goal lead, two factors which eventually led to their undoing. Another c:r>r on their part to their undoing. Another c: r:>r on their part was equally obiious. W. II. Jones, the visi- tors' exceptionally smart outside left, had b en as;iidiitcusly fed up to this point, and the home skipper naturally concentrated his defence on that wing. Under the circumntancei, the Ban- gor captain very properly changed his tactics, and employed the ofeher wing more. C. E. Thomas was virtually a "frN)" man for two- thirds of the time, and he was given no les. than six exceedingly good onances to score be- fcre t.he close. That he only succeeded once was due to wretched shooting rather than to the defence confronting hi in. While McCann is to be credited with playing the best indivi- dual game of the twenty-t-wo men he must be held indirectly accountable for the apparent superiority of the visitors during this part of the game. In justice to Tom, however, it ,.should be Mid that .00 home lor wards and halves on more than one occasion failed to carry out his instructions- The s-ores were thus even at throe goals each, and tb tigh Banger strag- gled des[)eTately to gain the lead there ap- peared to be little hopes of success until Ilwfa, tj-icd pot-iuck about- twenty-five yards from the home net. The kick was a terrific one, and the nuui is yet unborn who could have stepped it unless by sheer ak-t:ident-arid that it was an 'accidental goal is equally true. T'hougfl i t. meant the loss of two more points, and the third defeat for Cohwn Bay, it was, however, an achievement which rouued the sle-lalois :o a stirring cheer. No further scoring took place, and the game ended: Bangor 4 goals, Coiwyn Bay 3 goals.

PWLLHELI v. CARNARVON. A DING-DONG STRUGGLE. (By "Ricurdo"). Pwllheli g I Cariiarvon 2 The League match between Pwllheli and Carnarvon on .Saturday, at Pwllheli, drew together a crowd of abmit one thousand spectators, the large t number .seen for a i.n): time at a football mateh here. it was quite evident from the demeanour of the spectator? and the players that there was to be a determined light ior the hcnf-iirH of the day. A large contingent accompanied the Carnarvon team. The weather was hot and oppressive and I did not envy any of the players. Mr E. Lloyd-Williams, Eangor, was the referee, and the teams were — Pwilheti: Sam Robcrtt Wm. Thomas and Jones W. Thompson, B. EJjiø and Bob Jones; R. D. Roberts, J. Duguid, Moseley Jones, Beu Evans and W. C. Morris. Cai narvoil U. H. Jones Evar Hughes and W. H. Jones John Wiiliams M. ilerbert and W. Hughes R. H. Roberts, Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, H. Roberts and Johnny Jones. The Arvuuians kicked off and got into the home ¡ quarters very IÍ<>cn and the home team got into diffl- culties with iouls which augured badl) for them within stit-ii a dangerous area. indo:-d, a petimi-y kick was j ahi/wed the visitors, for a fcul against George Jones and R. H. Roberts placed the ball in the net. The t home players th"n moved well up the field, but Evan Hug.ua ,;e3t theui back again. Johnny Jones, in Bne form, caught tile ball on the fly and swept it towards the home goal. Had the defence been in weaker handti than those of George Jones and >V\ Thomas,' disaster would have beoil written against l'yvlllicli. Thompson came to the.rescue also, and inartly-cleared. The home team rushed towards the Carnarvon goal, and began bombarding it, lun-ing a corner. Moseiev after- wards rushed into th.. goal mouth with the ball, and R. D. Roberts supported him. The ball was banged from one place to anohr. Then followed good all- round play by the visiting players, who. just now, sur- passed the homesters in agility and dexterity. The STRATGETIC AHYONIANS. I'wllfi-eli men were driven to exert themselves more than ever by the bold attacks and strategy cf the f Arvonians. The latter were punished for handling when close to the penalty area, and this reli.-ved the pres- I sure and gave the homesters a ehance to get to the ether end. The advance was well made, and I ihouglit that they had got through at last, when learned that Mcseley was given otfside. No sooner was the ball in play than Oo PwHheIi forwards exerted them>e;ves splendidly. The Carnarvon fortress was in dsngcr of being captured. W. C. Morris, Bob Ellis, Dugmd, Moteie.y and R. T. Rt b?rts strove hard to capture the rllrt, but. the custodian and the bucks were t-co strung, and the siuiation was saved. A minute or two ot hostilities in t.he home quarters having taken place, a renewed at- tack followed in the Carnarvon territory. Ben Evans passed to W. C. Morris, who smartly proceeded on the left wing but was not rewarded tii. time with link. The citadel was almost studded with shot. Danger was averted through the ball going over. Then .lonriny Jones raced down the field and made a gallant ;ti- tempt to get the ball into he net. It went juEl over however. Soon after, W. C. Morris rushed with .he ball up the field and parsed to the ee.itre. Bob Ellis sent a stinger for goal from about 13 yard:, distance and just missed the net. Ther was a fine run by R. H. Roberts, Turn Roberta, Walter Jones and Johnny Jones dt.wn the field, but handling spoilt the run. The free kick enabled Pwllheli to quit their own territory for their opponents' ijuarters, and there W. C. Morris, in fine style, passed to Moseiev, and he finishet] by netting the ball. Gladly did the players hear the half-time whistle. Their "whistles" must have 1)(>(n very dry after pre piring so 11111Ch.. I thought the visitors showed al! round superiority to the homesters ou resuming nlav. They compelled their opponents to tight de-peratrly for safety, but haftly placed free kicks spoilt their piay. E. Hughes, W. H. Jon-ie, Herbert and the goalkeejter stood up well against the onslaughts of Moseley. R. D. Roberts, W. C. Morris and Duduid. Then followed repeated at- SAM ROBERTS IN FORM. tempts to conquer Sam Roberts at goal, and he stood his ground grandlv. Had he Wen made of weaker stull, Carnarvon would have piled on the agony long ago. Moseley, a most dangeious player to a sleepy oi>or.eut, rushed with the bail, tried to get it in with his head, but only succeeded in sending it over the er. ss bar. The goal kick gave the visiting forwards a chance to score. It was a good move they made, but Tho:ni-son, Geo. Jones, and W. Thomas repulsed them. T; ball was returned to the forwards and with that followed a scuffle. Ben Evans unfortunately dislocated his l;nee, and so l'wllheli became one man short. H, D, Roberts got the ball, rushed down the line and sh it for goal at a very acute angle. It was cleared and unintentionally returned to him. Thpn lie passed it to M^eley, and he scored a .splendid goal. Play been resumed, the visitors played undauntedly. They fought finely, and iu a few minutes Hughie Koberls, the centre forwa-d, equalised the scire. The Pwtlheij men were anxious to gain another point to keojft up their glory. W. C. Morns passed to Moseley, who in fine style, edged his way through the defence and almo ;t 'succeeded in netting the sphere. i'inai l'wl hcli 2, Carnarvon 2.

A nice movement on the part of tve homo quintet was next seen, following whi h R.C. and Johnny Jones made play on the right, the ball eventually gviing behind. From a loul against the visitors Dick Ellis shot into tht gral- keeper's hands, for him to kick away. Th re was no mistaking the superiority of the home- sters, who were playing a splendid game. Short- ly after, the interval arrived, with the home- sters/ leading by 2 goals to nothing. The Swifts fully deserved their two goals' lead, for thc-y had played much better football than the visitors, and with the advantage of playing" down the slope it was expected that the homesters would make things hum, and such, in truth, proved to be the case. Immediately on restarting, Williams had to save from J. Brown. I The Swifts soon established themselves in the vicinity of Porter, and Sam Williams was cheered for a good clearance out of a bully in the penalty area. Johnny Jones and his partner now. got going; the former's final attempt being frustrated by S. Williams, Harold, immediately after, checking a run. on the part of R.C. and Salisbury. From a throw in Johnny Rowlands flashed the ball into goal,- only to see Porter throw clear, the same player again testing him in the next minute, the custodian saving aLt the expense of a corner, which proved fatal to his side, as Johnny Rowlands met the ball with his head, and added I THE THIRD GOAL for the locals. It was a splendidly got goal, and it naturally placed the" Swifts on good terms with themselves, and they were soon attacking again, a nice centre by Dick -Ellis being headed behind by Johnny Rowlands. -W.T., anxious to add another goal to his amount, tried a long one, the ball just missing. Hughie and Johnny Jones were at this time putting in some good work, and time after time out manceuvered the opposing defence. D. Griffith and Glyn Jones tried to break through for the visitors, a corner accruing, which proved abortive. The home- sters now moved down in a body, some nice com- bination being witnessed between Hughie, Johnny Jones, and Johnny Rowlands, and the ball pncr.n^'to- R.C. he tested Porter with a fine shot, the latter clearing safely. R.C. and Salisbury, next indulged in a nice movement, and Sam Williams missing his kick, Salisbury ran round him and netted the ball FOR THE FOURTH TIME with a neat touch. Four goals to nil was not bad, but there were more to follow. J. Brown sent in a good shot which Hugh Williams easily' dealt with. Salisbury ran down the field, and when near the goal judiciously passed back to Johnny Rowlands, the latter being enabled to score THE FIFTH GOAL in easy fashion. The homesters were now having matters all their own way, the visitors rarely crossing the half-way line. R.C. ran down straight from the re-start, and hit the post with a splendid shot, the ball going behind. Follow- ing upon several abortive attempts Salisbury and R.C., by pretty play, took the ball down, the movement culminating in the latter scoring a capital goal, thus making the total into half a dozen. No sooner had the game been recom- menced when Salisbury struck the post with a grounder, the ball eventually being cleared. Not to be denied, the Swifts renewed their attack. Johnnv again appeared likoly to get through, when J. H. Davies handled in the dreaded area, and although a feeble protest was made by the delinquent-, the referee promptly awarded A PENALTY KICK. Hughie Brown was entrusted with the kick, and made no mistake. The Swifts again attacked, Porter saving well from R.C. and Johnny Row- lands, after which the venue suddenly changed, the visitors, through the aid of Brookes Evans, invading the home territory, the movement ending in Brown scoring a good GOAL FOR THE VISITORS. No sooner had the ball been "middled" than Salisbury" was to be seen speeding down his wing, finishing up with a. splendid centre which Johnny Jones headed in, well out of reach of Porter. Shortly afterwards time was called, the final result reading: Holyhead, 8 goals; Llan- dudno, 1 goal.. It was a pleasantly contested game, and con- sidering the intense heat, the players lasted the 90 minutes weil. There was no doubt as to the Swifts being the superior; they were far quicker on the ball than the Amateurs, who were very slow in comparison. The "Knight of the witistio" is to be congratulated upon his im- partiality, the manner in which he handled the game being meat. favourably commented upon. A word as to the time of starting. The game was advertised to start at three p.m., which was altered to 3.45. The visitors arrived at 3.30, and the game was not commenced until four o'clock. It is absurd that the League should stipulate times when the games shall start unless they take steps to enforce the rule being carried out. Clubs do not mind it in the least when they know that they only have to pay a 2s 6d fine. The same thing occurred when Bangor visited us a fori night ago, they being mulcted in a fine cf 2s 6d, whereas the local committee have suffered a loss of E3 or £ 4 in consequcnce of the lateness of the Rtart:

LLANRWST v. CONWAY. HONOURS EASY. (By "Dolydd."). Llanrwst 1 goal. j Conway 1 goal. j The Conway team were entertained at Gwydr Park, on Saturday, in very warm weather. This was the visitors' first League engagement- this season, and the homesters' third, having lost against Bangor at home and drawn away against Denbigh. W. T. Jones, the Cohvyn Bay player, again appeared 011 the home left, while Hughie Pierce was shifted from inside left to centre. The visitors an-ived in the field somewhat late, the start being delayed about fifteen minutes in consequence. Referee C. J. Thomas, of Bangor, lined up the teams as follow :— Llanrwst :-GoaL Dick Jones; backs, W. Owen and Salisbury Roberts; half-backs, Grenville Jones, G. Chisholm, and F. Williams; forwards, Norman Rogers Jones, Humphrey Roberts, Hughie Pierce, W. T. Jones, and Arthur Rich- ards. Conway:-Goal, Parry; backs, Tom Jones and 0. Ellis; half-backs, Evans, Bob Owen, and Stone; forwards, J. R. Jones, A. Owen, Allerton, J. O. Roberts, and Parry. The homesters having won the toss placed their 11 opponents to face the glaring sun, the tropical heat causing even the spectators to perspire, while the players within a few minutes of the start, were streaming from every pore. Allerton set the leather going, and J. 0. Roberts broke away, passing to Parry. The latter was neatly checked by Chisholm, but after a short visit to I the centre, Stone dashed up and forced a corner I off Salisbury. From the ensuing flag-kick Richards secured and broke away; and dashed along the left. Tom Jenes, however, was on the alert, and nipped'Arthur's well-conceived plan in the bud. The homesters now attacked with con- siderable persistence, Norman from tne corner sending in an accurate centre to Humphrey, who gave Parry a handful, which caused him trouble. A movement on the visitors' left followed, Ro- berts and Parry centring, to Allerton, who sent in a fine shot, which was deflected from its true course by the ever-ready- Grenville. The "Blues" continued to press, but Stone, while in a most advantageous position, placed behind. From the ensuing goal-kick, Norman gained possession, and dashed along the right, finishing off with a shot that Parry cleared with diffi- culty. J. R. Jones then secured the ball, made way along the right, and centred to Allerton. A somewhat lively melee followed, until at last Chisholm, after performing a neat somersault, relieved the pressure. Following upon some ex- changes in mid-field, J. O. Roberts initiated a "forward movement," and passed to Parry, who shot wildly when in front of the goal mouth. From the ensuing goal kick, Pierce secured and threadedhig way along the centre, eventuaHy 11agsing to Richards, who failed to reach the leather, whiph rolled out of play. From the throw-in, the sphere roamed in the direction of the home goal, but Chisholm, who was playing good football, sent it back to Norman, who cen- tred to Pierce. Ellis successfully intervened, however, at an opportune moment. The f'Stripes" were once more persistent, and swarm- ed in front of Parry's charge, but Richards spoiled the movement by being offside. The home skipper, after » successful tussle with Aller- ton, crossed to Norman, who forced a corner off Tom Jones, which, however, proved barren. Although most of the homesters, during rather a lively scrimmage, potted at goal, Tom Jones, at last, relieved the pressure, passing the sphere to Arthur Owen, who made good ground until he met Will Owen, who punted the leather to- wards the river. The "Blues," however, quick- ly returned, Chisholm having a lively time with three of them, and emerging successfully from the ordeal. He parsed on to Norman, who dashed along the right, and crossed to W. T., who sent behind. The next incident of interest was Humphrey Roberts' tussle with Allertcp in mid-field, which resulted in the "Rooster" elud- ing his opponent and passing to Richards. Hum- phrey dashed down, and Richards centred accu- rately. Humphrey went through a complicated gymnastic evolution, over which he appeared to have no control, and finished off with a swift grounder, which was smartly fielded by Parry. The "Blues" retaliated, Allerton testing Dick Jones with a long pot. Norman then gained possession, and dashed along the right, sending in an oblique shot, which would have counted a point had not one of the homesters infringed the rules by interfering wi.th the custodian. The' venue changed, the "Blues" pressed very effec- tively until W: Owen fouled A. Owen. From the resultant free-kick, a melee ensued, Dick Jones being called upon to actively discharge his du- ties. Humphrey, at last, emerged from the crowd, and after making considerable grourfd, passed to Norman, who slipped when on the point of shooting. The -Blues" again returned to the attack, until at last J. O. Roberta shot the leather behind the upright, through a hole in the net into the goal. The referee then under- went a somewhat trying ordeal. Twenty-two players and some hundreds of the spectators all spoke together, and gave their views on the mat- ter freely. He waited for a slight abatement of the uproar, and intimated his decision to throw tho ball up by the goal mouth. This was done, with the result that the1 home pivot secured, and made a beautiful solo run, but before he reached the goal he was fouled by Jones. W. Owen took the free-kick. Humphrey received, and skimmed the upright. The "Blues" then advanced in line, finishing off with a grand shot by Allerton, which was cleverly cleared by W. Owen at the expense of a. corner. The ensuing centre was again cleared by Will with a timely header. The Borough men again returned, but Owen se-nt in rather a weak shot, and tiin L-all ran out of play. At half-time neither side had scored. During the second half, it was the homesters' I turn to faco the sun, but its brilliancy had some- what abated. After the opening exchanges, Arthur Owyn was responsible for a pretty run, finishing off with a fine shot. Dick fisted out. Allerton returned the leather, and this shot also rebounded off the custodian's fist to be returned by Roberts, the third attempt also being success- fully cleared. The home right gained possession, and forced a corner, W. T. nearly realizing. A foul against Conway near their goal raised the hopes of the home supporters, but Parry stopped Will Owen's shot very smartly. W. T. secured the return, arid passed to Richards, who forced a corner off Tom Jones. A melee followed the ensuipg centre, F. Williams placing behind. The "Blues" now pressed until the strain was re- lieved by Picrce, who worked his way along the centre, finally delivering a difficult shot, which was cleverly stopped by Parry. The "Blues" again attacked, but Richards gained possession, and ran along the left, testing Parry with a fine, low shot, which he fisted out. Ellis punted to the forwards, who advanced, Allerton testing Dick Jones ineffectively. Humphrey was next in evidence. After a successful encounter with Allerton, he passed on to Richards, who fed Pierce, who sent in a fine shot. Another move by Pierce finished off with a rather tame shot which went wide of the mark. From the goaf- kick, the "Stripes" returned, Parry being called upon to save from Humphrey and Pierce. After some ding-dong play, the Referee awarded a penalty against Llanrwst. Bob Owen took tho kick, but when the half-back was on the point of shooting. F. Williams startled everyone with a wicrd, wild war cry. Whether unnerved by the sound, or for some other cause, Bob Owen sent the leather ridiculously wide of the mark, amidst a wild yell of delight from the home sup- porters, which, however, was immediately changed to a howl of disgust when it was ob- served that the Referee had decided to allow Bob Owen to have another try on account of the yell. The home players crowded round him, and pro- tested energetically against his decision, while the spectators hooted. At last, Dr. IIuw Wil- liams intervened, and Bob Owen was allowed to make his second attempt, which proved success- ful. The homesters then attacked hotly, and practically hemmed the "Blues" to their goal front. Parry came in for a powerful bombard- ment, but did not succumb until Norman, run- ning along the right, sent in a lightning oblique shot, which gave the little keeper no chance. The homesters continued to press to the end, but failed to add to their score, the game ending in a draw of one goal each.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. BANCOR JOTTINGS. The Bangor Combination team fairly astonished their supporters on Saturday,' especially in the second half When they romped round Saltney. » » To all appearances .Saltney were going to win hands down when th; game commenced, but gradulally-Bittigor got into their stride and fairly peppered the Saltney g- al. It was somewhat unfortunate that the home team could not play as selected, lioth Jo. Williams and W. Evans being unable to turn out. ♦ The homesters were the first fo score through Hughie Davies, and it was worthy of the first goal of the sea- son, being as unexpected as it was clever. » Saltney equalised, or at least Thomas, one of the Ban- gor full backs, fcecidently equalised for them. Someone sent in a slow shot and Thomas diverted its course into the net, and with another soft shot they gained the lead. » It was Bangor's game in the second half, and really they should have won. J. Ai-T-iige did equalise, said afterwards Pennington, the Saltney custodian, was hop- ping about, the goal with the activity of a bear on hot bricks, but he was not to be beaten, and the game finished in a draw. Though they played an encouraging game there is no blinking the fact that there were weak spots in the Bangor team, notably on the left defence, and a win might have been recorded for the homesters had J. Arridge or J. Jones been transferred from the right to the left in the second half. W Jones, the cus'odiai, played a skilful game, and he ought to be sure of his position between the sticks, and Jack Jones, late of RhyJ, was literally the backbone of the home team. He is a "capture." I » D. J. Thomas, of the Bangor Wednesday team. did not show his accustomed form, and it was a pity he gave that goal away. Alf Thomas played better in the second than in the first half but he might well drop that double-hop of his which only amuses the small boys. Jack Arridge was a tryer throughout the piece, and the goal he registered was worthy of him. Of the forwards, Hughie Davies was capital, and his play showed an improvement, because he potted oftener for goal than is his wont. H. Owen should be included pcrmanlItly in the Combination team, for he is just the man for the attacking division. -» Joe Thomas is another player whostrivet; to win, and he slams the ball into goal when there ill "Wle least chance. y v. No Harry Williams was a trifle slow and was rather in- clined to dribble too much. Dribble as much as you like in Wednesday matches, liarry, buf frive it a rest in Combination matches for you'll be soon knocked off the ball. Olivers play showed an imnrovement, and it was pleasing to notice on Saturday that he did not convey the ball down to the corner post before shooting. » The Reserves loots 1ike topping the League this season, and their win at Colwyn Bay on Saturday came rather as a welcome surprise. » Th^v nv- ef Holvhead on Saturday with a strong for- ward line which will probiblv include Arnold Dargie. » .» Everybody except the committee smiled when J. Arridge brought down the chimney piece on Saturday.

Coiwyn Bay have been playing second fiddle to three teams in the League tourney oil thre successive Satur- days, and on no occasion by reason of their incom- petency. » » In the opening game against, Pwllheli they were eer- tain! y ev-Jiy wh:t e<]'.al it net superior to their oponents. O' Saturday week at Llandudno the same thing was obvious, Bangor nev r deserved to beat them last Saturday. » No that is not quite correct. Bangor deserved their victory, a.s also did Pwllheli and Llandudno. The fault lay with Co'wyn Ray. No team deserve suecessjinless they are prepared to work for it throughout thctnincty minutes. Coiwyn Bay play exceedingly sound and skilful foot Inill for about three-fourths of the game, and parti- callv if they happen to have an odd goal in their fa- vour. Then it drops off to the elementary school level. Another Jactor which has may-red all their efforts this year is a lack of understanding b'jtwcen the backs. In- dividoa'l.v, Tonkin and 0. E. Williams have played un- usually well, but they do not operate in concert., with the result that two men are frequently on the hall at the same time, while just as frequently neither is in his proper place at the crucial moment. The captain must also be ob?yed. Twice at least on Saturday he fruitlessly appealed for help, and because his summons was not responded to on one occasion Thomas scored for Bangor, and thereby practically won the game for his side. » » # » 8¡X"8kin generally, the best man on the field on Saturday was McCann, the home skipper, W. H. Jones, the visiting left, forward wing, making a good second. Of the Bangor backs D. S Owen was the safest., Hwfa made quite a number of mistakes in the first half.

LLANRWST CLUS AND THE NORTH WALE COAST ASSOCIATION. At a recent meeting of the Executive Com- mittee of the Llanrwst Club the subject of the recent suspensions and the source of information concerning the players was discussed. It was ultimately decided that the suggestion of the late secretary, Mr Hughes, to call upon the Association to divulge the name of their in- formants be acted upon, as it was freely rumoured in the town that members of the com- mittee were guilty of reporting the players, and it was essential to clear the committee from any such imputations. In reply to the letter Mr David Jones, tbe new secretary, has received the following re- ply :— North Wales Coast Football Association, 24th August, 1908. Dear Sir,—I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your intimation of change of secretary. With regard to Mr Hughes' letter I placed this matter before the meeting of the Council last night, when I was instructed to state that no information could be given as to the source of the Council's information, and the fact of there being several applications for a reduction of the suspensions proves that such information was reliable. Beyond stating that the persons accused of having given the information had nothing whatever to do with the matter I am not allowed to go. No other communication upon this subject will be replied to. I might further add that no one connected with the Llan- rwst Club supplied information nor was anvone so connected asked to give any.—Yours faith- fully, J. LLEWELYN WILLIAMS, Secretary. We understand the Llanrwst Executive are not satistied with the reply, and intend to move further in the matter.
