THE CESTRIANS VISIT BANGOR. RETURN HOME DEFEATED. (By "Recorder.") Bangor 5 I Chester 1 I in vangor icotball circles, Chester 13 a name io conjure with. Who can forget the memorable Illa.ch of two seasons ago when the fray con- tinued many months afterwards. It was one of the last matches of the season, and Chester came down with an unbroken record, which, how- ever, was besmirched after a tremendous game. Chester protested, but in vain. The gate, how- ever, was rather disappointing on Saturday, the kick-olf being earlier than usual. The teanta w+, r, BANGOR: Tod Owen; Jack Jones and Hwfa Williams; D. T. Davies, Alfy Thomas, and Jimmy Jones; Evana (Denbigh), Dargie, H. Owen, H. Davies, and Oliver. CHESTER: Morgan; Jones and Dorset; Schofield, Carter and Grainger; A. Brenham, G. Brenham, Holmes, Ormisher, and Cooney. Referee: Mr Nunnerley, Wrexham. The opening" movements favoured Bangor, the forwards runiraig down in a line and at the xitical moment when Dargie looked like getting through, Jones, the visiting right-back cleared. U. wri again came the home forwards and Hughie Owen had a pot from long range. To all ap- pearances the ball was going behind but it swerved inside, struck the post and glanced tno the net, Morgan apparently deceived, thrust- out his arm a second or two late. The risit.ors, nothing daunted, forced a corner from Urbich G. Brenham cleverly headed in the ball just over the crossbar-a narrow escape as Ted was somewhere else at the time. Tho game was '-auurig in interest as it advanced and Jiangor looked like getting another goal, but Evans passed rather badly and scotched the ^jicvement. For a while play was confined to ciidiield, but it was very interesting. Cliester new began to get dangerous, and Ilolmes sent a terr,fie grounder in the direction of Ted Owen who, in trving to save, had to "DilOP uN HiS KNEES. At him jumped Holmes, but Ted stuck to the bail like grim death, and as soon as he could 4lun it away from him. For a while the Bangor men were locked in their own half, but they got tway at last only to find Jones in the best of orni. The footwork of Bangor men was of the irettieat description, the ball being •pped from player to player, but cughie Owen was three times in succession iPced offside. It was by no means a one- sided game, Chester having quite as much of the argument as the home lot. Evans did some goo'; work on the right and almost got through on his own, "D. T." directly afterwards firing in a cannon ball shot which went a trifle wide. Bangor's second goal was a thing of beauty. Dargie tound an opening, ran through, and sent in a swift, elevated shot, Morgan making a smart save, but unfortunately in clearing he Bent the ball to II. Owen, who promptly had it in the net amid cheers.

SECOND HALF. Bangor had a nasty pill in the very opening yf the second half. Chester ran down, a lull came over the game, and A. Brenham had what is known as an "easy thing," the home backs, al- lowing him his own way. Dargie, however, improved Bangor's position, meeting with his head a high pass, and right into the corner of the net went the ball, the home skipper in jump- j ing to. meet the ball capsizing Dorset. A fierce onslaught took place on the Chester goaJ, Mor- gan, the custodian, having to hug the ball on the ground, and whilst the home forwards were trying to wrest it for him he was kicked in the ,c head. Bangor's fourth goal was :cored by Hu hie Owen, and it would have taken a couple I of R nose's to stop that shot. The Bangor halves we in top form, feeding the forwards with care and accuracy, and D.T. deserves a special word < of praise. In the- words of a spectator, "He has improved." G. Brenham caused Eomo uneasi- ness to tho home defenders, but J. 1 Jonr. and company came up smiling, t And on had Dargie making a bee line for r,g I th; Chester goal and emerging from a ruck i ef p:ay,ns, the skipper let fly the ball enter- i ing at hurricane speed that portion of the J goal v-here Morgan wasn't. Thus did Dargie ? perforin the hat trick. Now and again the J Chester forwards would break away, but the shooting of the outside men left much to be desired. Holmes tried a solo run, "which ] looked very promising until he readied Hwfa, who neatly palled him up. In the last ten t minutes Bangor pressed with vim. I Bangor, 5; Chester, 1. 1

NOTES. (By "Nemo."). Ck^fcer need no introduction, for many and eventful have been the engagements between the representatives of the two cities; and the memorable matches of the past two seasons at Bangor *re-fresh in the minda of a-H.

DENBIGH LOSE AT HOME. Connah's Quay 3 Denbigh o At Denbigh on Saturday, before a fair crowd of spectators, Connah's Quay and Denbigh teams were well represented, but the play throughout was of a ragged description. Mr R. S. Davies, Flint, was the referee, and the teams were:— DENBIGH: A. N. Other; G. C. Hughes and J. Parry Evans; H. Evans, T. Diekins, and H. Cartwright; D. Berwyn Davies, A. Evans, Stan- ley Hughes, R. Thomas and H. Randies. CONNAHS QUAY: Peers; Peters and Evans; Davies, Gordon and Lumberg; Morris, Hewitt, Lumberg, Davies and Dobson. Losing tho toss the home team were set to play down tho slope with a powerful wind against them. At the beginning of the game matters ruled even, but the visitors were first to test the goalkeeper, and the home custodian saved timely from a dangerous forward ru&h by the visitors. The play following this was mostly in inidiield, and was of a mediocre type, neither team extending itself. There was a considerable lack of combination between both eeti of for- wards, and in this respect Denbigh were parti- cuLa.rly at fault; Stanley Hughes and R. Thomas to a lesser degree hugging the ball too much when a discreet swinging pass to either of the outeide men might have resulted in a goal or two to their A great chance was lost to Denbigh when Stan. Hughes gul through, but he id on too long, and fouled the goalkeeper. Denbigh continued to be aggressive after this, and a centre from Randies was- caught by the goalkeeper, who fell in his attempt to clear. The ball fell at the feet of Evans, -who failed to score when only a couple of yards from goal, the ball striking the goai keeper in the face when he was on the ground. A fruitless corner accrued. Connah's Quay changed the venue, and severely pressed. The home goalkeeper saved, but being unable to clear threw the ball behind for a corner, from which the visitors opened the score, Dobson meeting a splendidly placed flag kick and giving^ the goalkeeper no ohance of saving with a rising shot. Afterwards the play was faster fc.r a Sli.(,rt. time, but soon giackened. Though the forwards of neither side were serious- ly working the respective defences were given plenty of work, and in this department tho play al J. P. Evans at full back showed promise. while Diekins, whose first turn out it was in the Denbigh colours, gave a good account of himself at centre E--J. Hugh Evuns was also good as ever, but should part sooner with the ball. His weaving tactics while pretty are not effective as ho gives his opponents plenty of time to get up. I Neither goalkoe-per wnB given much work to do in this haif, and when half-time arrived the score stood in favour of Connah's Quay by ono oal to none. In the opening of the second half the play of both sides improved, but without effect. With iheir faofts up the slope tho homo tcajn had xiuch the better of the zame, but were very ve-ak in front of goal. The home backs wero helping in the attack, and near the centre line It ilewitt saw his chance. Waiting on the half- vav line tiil the ball came his way, ho eventually (i a clear field, .and racing down he had the iatis.faction of scoring a second goal with a hot which the home goalkeeper had no chanoe o save. Denbigh foug-ht: liard to reduce the ead, but success wo-iuld not come. The Quay vere now practically penned in. but occasionally heir forwards made raids upon the other end, >ut without success. As time a.pproached the lomesiere' attack slackened, and for a while the riaibors had the best of matters. A number of lot shots were directed at the home keeper, and n this anxiety to clear one of them, II. Evans, 'hot hard against Parry Evans, off whom the W] bounced into the net, thus completing the ILscomfifcure. The game ended in a win for the 'isitora a* above indicated.

THE CANARIES GO UNDER. Junction .— 5 Carnarvon .I. 3 Placed at Camarvon Clt Saturday, with Mr R. D. "Richa-rds, Bangor, aG referee. The teams were:- CARNARVON: G. H. Jones; Evan Hughes and R. Morton Williams; J. P. Roberts, Mick Herbert, and Evan R. Jones; R. H. Roberts, Tom Roberts, Walter Jones, liughie Roberts and Johnnie Jones LLANDUDNO JUNCTION: G. T. Gillett; D. Ellis and T. Jones; W. Evans, R. W. Roberts, and Rd. Owen; A. Lunt, J. Hughes, E. Parry, W. Brookes Evans, and Sam. Parry. A combined movement by the Carnarvon for- wards brought the ball to the Junction goal, where Tom Roberts placed behind. A foul against R. Owen again gave Carnarvon a chance, but the resultant shot was easily cleared. The Junction men raced away and Lunt, who un- marked ran through on his own and scored with a fine shot. This success occurred after a few minutes play. Carnarvon after this reverse took matters more seriously, and continued to press, but a foul against Tom Roberts relieved the pressure. At this stage the Junction were easily holding their own, the local team failing to get into their usual stride. From a foul against R. Owen a scrummage took place in front of the Junction goal, but Gillart failed to clear and the ball was rushed into the net. After a combined move- ment by the Carnarvon forwards Tom Roberts failed at the rritical moment. Carnarvon were now pressing, but the Junction backs were play- ing a fine defensive game. R. H. Roberts re- ceiving a pass from Tom Roberts, raced away, but his final shot went over the bar. Half-time Llandudno Junction 2, Carnarvon 1. On resumption of play, and although the wind was in their faces, the Junction carried the ball into the Carnarvon territory, and through weak play on the part of the home defence the visi- tors SCORED TWICE IN QUICK SUCCESSION. Carnarvon were now enjoying most of the game and kept the visitors penned in their own territory. From a centre from R. H. Roberts, Hughie Roberts had the vilest of luck in not finding the net. Lunt receiving the ball on the touch line, shot for goal and scored brilliantly. Final score: Junction 5, Carnarvon 3. Although the Carnarvon team were very un- fortunate in front of goal, tho Junction were full value for two points. » The goalkeeper made several good saves, whilst the. backs were all that could be desired. The halves played a sterling game. • Carnarvon fbrwards played well in midfield, but they met a strong defence in Gilliart and co. The halves played well, J. P. Roberts putting in some usefulwork. f < The defence of Carnarvon team was on the whole weak, and G. H. Jones has been seen to better advantage.

THE QUARRYMEN TROUNCE PWLLHELI. (By "Spectator.") Llanberis 6. Pwllheli 2 Under a cioudy sky and with a strong wind blowing a the ground, these teams met at the quarry centre on Saturday. Mr E. Lloyd Williams, Bangor, had ch,argo of the following teams:—• LLAXBERIS: J. Daniel; O. Morris and M. Jones; Dan. Jones, W. Pntchard and Da.n. Ro- berts; Hugh Lloyd, John Evans, Buck, W. R. Williams and W. R. Thomas. PWLLHELI: Bob Wiili-ams; T. J. Owen and Grif. Evans; David Hughes. Saunders Williams, and W. SmaJioy; W. O. Ilughes, W. Griffith, B. Evans, Johnnie Williams, and R. Griffith. The game opened tamely, but ere long Buck tested Bob Williams, who c'oared to corner, from which nothing resulted. Pwllheli took up the running, .and forced a hopelws corner. Follow- ing this L'-anberis ran down, and from a throw-in W. R. Thomas centred accurately, and Hugh Lloyd scored splendidly for Lianberis. From the centre kick Llanberis, aided by the wind, re- covered the ball and pressed hard. The leather was swept across th-e goal mouth, but W. R. Thomas and W. R. Williams both mis-kicked, and lost a fin-e chanoe of adding another point. A mistake by T. J. Owen let in Lknberis, but W. R. Williams ekied high above the bar. The homesters were certainly not playing with their accus- tomed dash and fire," and their supporters expressed dissatisi action. Continual mis- kicks took place, a-nd spoilt good opportuni- ties for running up a bigger score. W. R. Williams, with smart tactics, robbed Griff. Evans, and beating Bob Williams with a stinger, put Llanberis 2 up. PWLLHELI PRESSED. but the home defence prevailed. From inid field Hugh Lloyd let fly. Bob Williams rushed out to clear but masjadged the distance and the ball rolled into the net. Ben Evans was at this stago responsible for &ome neat work but his colleague* were somewhat spoiling each other's chanoe. Following some slack plav by the home defenc.e Ben Evans ran to the right and shot. to- wards: Daniel, who only partjaily saved, and Bob Griffiths netted the ball before the custodian recovered himself. Uaiibeiis rallied, and W. R. Thomas centred but Hughie Lloyd was whistled for ofls.de. W. 0. Hughes tested Daniel with a fine snot which he saved 6ffect.i vol3-. Llan- beris attacked again, and David J lushes cleared to oorner. Bob Williams fisted tho ball clear from the corner, and the whistle now blew half- time, the score standing: Llanberis 3, Pwllholi 1. Llanberis. within two minutes, scored throug-h Hugh Lloyd. Before long Pwllheli pressed and were awarded a penalty, but Daniel, in addition to several splendid eaves, saved the penalty kick. I wirheli attacked again, and Bob Griffith oen- tr-ed from the corner fla,g-, and Daniel fisted c-oar, but Will Griffith secured and sooted for Pwliheii. A free kick was awarded Llajiberis, but Griff Evans sent to tho corner. A Pwll- heli defender sent to tho other corner, and W. R. Williams soored. Following a hot attack on the Pwllheli goal, W. R. Pritchard scored for Llanberis. Just on time W. O. Hughes was hurt. and had to be carried off the field. Final: Llanberis 6, Pwllheli 2.

AN ENJOYABLE GAME. (By Ricardo.) Blaenau t I Llandudno j I If all matches were as satisfactory as the meeting between these teams at Blaenau last Saturday football would make more progress. But I have two complaints to make. The game was to start at three o'clock, as per the published announcements, but it did not begin until nearly four o'clock. Why should these delays occur constantly at Festiniog? I w advised never to attend a football match at Festiniog at the advertised time, but I felt; this to be a X-eflection upon those who hav-4 the management of these fixtures. N<>w abolit the game. Every; player was benti upon Victory." There wer^J no holiday playiprs, and no dones. The contest was a genuine one throughout. Here axe the teams: FESTINIOG: Bob Smith; Thos. Hughes and Morris J. Morris; James Lloyd, W. Bangor Jones, and W. H. Williams; Owen Roberts, Johnny Hughes, William John Hughes, Haroid Collins, and Wm. R. Owen (capt.). LLANDUDNO: C. Stalla-rd; Ben Morris and J. H. Jones; J. Brown, T. Johnson (cap- tain), and Harold Pearson; Johnny Williams, Dan Davies, W. T. deeve, R. Davies, and J. WiHiams. Mr Griffith, Penmaenmawr, had control of the whistle, and his decisions were never questioned. There was no choice in regard to the wind. Soon the Blaenau centre forward became conspicuous for fine playing. He dodged and tricked his opponents so well as to elicit warm approval from the large number of spectators. Stallard looked anxious, but was well covered by the backs. Yet Joiinny Hughes pushed forward daringly and nearly conquered the goalie. The Quarrymen flitted dangerously near the Tudno citadel. deeve, however, supported by D. Davies nnd J. E. Williams, overpowered the homesters's advance, a-nd gaining just an opening, dashed to the Blaenau quarters, promising a goal. But the agile Bangor Jones jumped to the rescue, and cut short the move. Tommy Hughes also materially helped at this critical moment. The Quarrymen got in dose touch with the Tudno backs, one of whom, un- fortunately, skioo the ball, bringing it to the ready feet of W. R. Owen, who got an opening for goal and took it. It was A WELCOME, AND WELL-EARNED goal, worthy of the lusty cheers given by the onlookers. I thought that Joiinny Hughes, ever alive, would repeat Owen's luck the next minute. The clearance gave the ball to Jim Williams, who sped along towards the home goal, helped by Bob Davies and Cleeve. The combined attack almost brought down the home stronghold. But little Bob Smith seemed to swell out and fill the goal entrance. Pearson and Brown showed first-class foot- ball. The home backs succeeded in extri- cating themselves from a. very awkward position, and gave the ball to W. R. Owen and Harold Collins. Then Jim Williams, after dodging the homo forwards most ad- mirably, came near the home goal, but the over-ran, and, though he shot for goal. the angle was too sharp to enable him to secure a goal. But the Tudnoites sh-elled the citadel several times, and made the home quarters hot with shots. The Quarrymen made a fine defence, and by and by Morris and Bangor Jones succeeded in breaking up the attack and citanging the scene of hostili- ties. The visitors made ..1 fine attack, right and left, on the home fort. Bob Smith, Morris, and T. Hughes, with O. Roberts and

TLLANFAIRFECHAN COMING OUT STRONG. DEFEAT OF COLWYN BAY CELTS. Llanfairfechan 3 J Colwyn Bay Celts 2 I The newly-formed Llanfairfechan Club were well represented at Colwyn Bay on Saturdaiv where tihey made their debut in Division II. of the Leag-ue tourney. Referee E. T. Williams, of Denbigh, lined the teams as follows:— COLWYN BAY CELTS: D»vid Llewelyn Jones; Ted Parry end Evan Rd. Jones; Jiio. Jones, Llew Jones (Capt.), and Edward Parry; Edward R. Jones, E. W. Jones, Ted Lunt, R. Jones, and W. T. Hoskins LLANFAIRFECHAN: Maaley; N. Griffith and W. T. Jones; Rd. Jones, A. N. Other, and Bob Hughes; E- O. Jones, T. J. Williams, T. Atberton, D. Hughes and Llew Morris. With the wind a.t their backs in ftlie first half, Lianiairfeohan attacked with ItpleDdid spirit oo4 within three minutes Jones was called upon to save after a pretty concerted movement on the visiting right. The villagers were smartly led by A trier ton, who formerly rendered splendid service to the Oonway Club. The Celts were obviously much lighter than their opponents, but they did not make up in agility for the lack of weight. At the other end of the fiekl Lunt was finding an opening, but he drove well over the bar, the ball passing quite five yards high. A smart breakaway on the Llanfairfechan right placed Atherton in position, and a beautiful drive by him completely misled Jones, who apparently thought the leather was going to pop outside. The first score thus came aut within fifteen minutes of kick off. Ends were changed at ex- hilarating pace, and, generally speaking, play was quite as interesting as most First Division games seen on the Colwyn Bay venue. Llanfair- fechan were well doing the best of the attack- ing, and Jones was soon fisting out again, an- other terrifio shot from Atherton befeng w cleared. A fruitless corner to Colwyn Bay was scon afterwards followed by a foul upon Ted Jones. The penalty kick was taken by Lunt. Thence till the whistle blew, play was interest- ing, but no further points were notched. Half-time: Colwyn Bay Celts 1, Llanfair- fechan 1. Re-starting the visitors were on the aggres- sive, but the home backs averted danger. Ather- ton was fouled outside the penalty area and the free-kick was cleared after a sharp scrimmage. The ball passed out to Lunt, who broke clean through blie Llanfairfechan defence and scored a faiultless goal "on hie own." A cattail save by the visiting keeper off "Bangor" was the next incident of note. Llanfairfechan once more rallied and after a strenuous few minutes ri-glht in front of the home goal Jones ran out to clear but the ball struck a visitor's foot and before the custodian could recover his place Atherton had again netted. With the scores equal once moe boh sides now entered upon their work in a determined fashion. Llaafair- fechan were, however, the aggressors during the better part of the time. Twice they farced corners, and neither were improved upon. Parry, whose powerful kicking at back was one of the features of the home defence, teventually brought relief with a vigorous kick. The game was still full of life and in- terest, but neither side made much pretence at combination. Atherton was easily the best forwa-rd on the field, and he was well sup- ported by his inside left, while J. O. Jones did many good things at outsid-e right. With- in a few minutes of the end Ted Jones raised a stirring cheer diiring a sharp attack, but the cry proved inopportune, for Ted had net- tod with his hand, rather than his foot. Wh-en hard pressed Jones, in clearing, drove the baJJ against all opponent, oil whom it re- bounded into the net. Hard lines for Jones! The whistle sounded immediately afterwards with the scores — Llanfairfechan, 3; Colwyn Bay Celts, 2.

HOLYHEAD RESERVE'S VICTORY AT LLANDUDNO. Holyhead Res. 3 Llandudno Res 1 The above teams met at Llandudno on Satur- day, in .a second division Leaguo fixture, the t-emns being as follows:— HOLYHEAD RESERVE: W. Collier; Llew, Jones and Dick Lewis; Jas. Evans, T. IIyam and Wm. Brown; Hugh Brown, J. Jones (Wallace), Hugh Williams, H. O. Jones, and J. Jones (London-road). LLANDUDNO RESERVE: Hugh Williams; R. P. Williams and J. H. Davies; Rev. C. Jonca, George Davies, and Hughie Davies; John Mor- ris Davies, Robt. Roberts, W. Daniel, Frank Ro- berts and John Meredith. Mr Eilis Hughes (Blaenau- Festiniog) was the referee. Holyhead won the toss and took advantage of the wind. First dangerous movement was a run down by the visiting forwards, J. Jones c-entoring from tihe extreme left, but the home defence cleared. Then Meredith, Llandudno outside left, performed a solo run which he concluded with a high centro. Offside, however, spoilt W. Owen in front of goal. Johnnie Jones, tilie visiting le-ft-winoger got a good position for his men but dn-ot v, ide of the mark. Several other corners for Holyhead proved fruitless. Johmn-.e Jones gaining possession swung across a beautiful centre and H. Evans, the visiting pivot, with a fine shot, gave the Ilarbaurmen the lead. A few minutes later Meredith, who was playing a fine game, sent in a well-placed centre. The ball passed the inside trio and Jno. Morris Davies who was waiting for it on the extreme right, equalised for the homesters. Llandudno's custodian was placed hors de combat for a few minutes as the result of a scramble in the home goal but was able to resume. The game was fairly even and at half-time the scare was: Llandudno 1, Holyhead 1. The resuming of hostilities was signalised by a corner for Llandudno, which almost resulted in disaster for the Hlyhead goal. Following upon a hard straggle within the Llandudno penalty area, JIiam, the Holyhead ocntre-half, got in a raspiiig shot, which struck the crossbar, and dropped into goal. The referee appeared to 00 in doubt oonoerning the point but after consult- ing both linesmen he awarded Holyhead the point. Johnny Jones, the outside left. added a third for the visitors. Ho got through on his own after receiving the ball from the right wiag, and the home custodian had no ohance of saving his final shot.

Referee Welch, of Crewe, had charge of tho game, and the players turned ou t a.* follows:— LLAINDUDNO JUNCTION: Llew Parry; W. E. Jones and J. Hughes; A. Dutton, W. Evans, and II. Hughos; T. Craven, E. Hayes, D. Parry, E. Jones, and A. E. Chesters. MENAI BRIDGE: II. Jones; G. Williams and Wm. Edwards; John Evans, R. T. Williams, and H. Lloyd Williams; A. Hughes, Jos. Ilender, Evan Owen, E. Instone, and J. Gerrard. Menai Bridge made a good start, and soon after the nomesters ran down, but their efforts were spoilt by Chesters handling. The Junc- tionites forced a corner which was, however, easily cleared. The visitors pressed, and after a good run down nearly scored, the home goalie saving well. A foul was given for the Junction almost on the penalty line. The leather struck the crossbar and was rushed by Hayes, who missed an open goal by sending against tho up- right and then handling. Another corner was conceded by Menai Bridge. The vis.tors afterwards made a good run up ^d Header shot well, Parry in goal allowing the^leather to slip through his hands. IlaJfjtime LI a rid u duo J/un/Jtion Reserve 1, I Metlai Bridge 1. On resuming, in the opening stages, Parry saved a couple of good shots for the Junc- tion. From a pass from Hender, A. Hughes made a splendid run down, and sent in a shot which Parry found it impossible to eave. The Junction forced a corner, but were re- pulsed. Just as the game was drawing 0 a close, W. Evans, the Junction captain, fell down and had the misfortune to break his leg, and he had to be conveyed from the field on a stretcher. Final: Menai Bridge, 2; Llandudno Junc- tion Reserve, 1.

PENMAENMAWR v. BANGOR JUNIORS. POINTS DIVIDED. Penmatnmawr 2 j Bansror Junicrs 2 I These teams met in a League Second Division fixture on Saturday. Mr Sihaw, of Chester, was in charge of "no game, and the teams turned out as follows:— t PENMAENMAWR: J. Jones; W. E. Hughes and H. Jones; Trevor Jones, Caleb William^ and Dan. Jones; J. W. sLunt, Archio Jones, R. Moris, Llow Roberts, and C. Sloane., BANGOR JUNIORS; Tynao; L. J., Williams and R. J. Lewis; J. Owen, A. Owen, and Patti- son; Hughes, Walker, H. R. Lewis, Griffiths, and Furbet. 3II!:IØ!I A good number of spectators witnessed tho game, which was somewhat interfered with by tho high wind which prevailed. Archie Jones from the right sent the ball against the crossbar, and from the rebound Sloane scered. Half-time: Penmaenmawr 1, Bangor Juniors 0. At tho beigiinning of the seoendi liaji it seemed as if the visitors were going to give the "PcKnymores" a severe defeat, but try as they would they found the home defence boo etrong for them. Before long the homesters got the better of tbeir opponents, and SJoano again soored. Shortly after Griffiths scored the first lor the visitors. Then one of the Bangor backs gor backs raauiked in the referee awarding the homesters a penalty, which Morris failled to convert. About two minutes before time Morris fouled and the visitors were awarded a penalty, which Lewis y oornw vertecj" Thus after a. good game the homesters drew, the score being: Penmaenmawr 2, Ban- gor Juniors 2. < NOTES. This was not the toam with which Bangor Juniors had to face Glasinfryn a fortnight ago. The Bangonans played a. good game, and so did the homesters. Morris was quite out ofl Ottboirr, but Caleb could not have done better. WiLl Edwards, as usual, played with head and foot and showed himself up to the mark. Lunt and Archie and Sloane are the right men in the right position.

FRIEND LIES. GLASINFRYN SWIFTS v. BANGOR NORMAL COLLEGE. On Saturday Glasinfryn Swifts were at home in & friendly encounter with the Normals. NORMALS: Manniey; Lord and Phillips; Tomkirejon, Evans, McLellan; Hopwood, Davies, Hannaby (capt.), Werry, and Rogers. GLASINFRYN: T. Daviey; J. 2. Jones a.n.d W. Jones; Edwin Daviee, C. Pierce, and J. W. Whitehead; W. Thomas, H. Williams, D. Pierce, F. P-erce and W Thomas. Glasinfryn won the boss and D. Pierce Hus'hes kicked oil and set the visitors on the defensive. Five minutes^ from the start, the Stripes drew first blood. Following a fine piece of footwork H. LJ. Williams drove straight and hard at goal, the College goalie being powerless to save. Before tne Normals found their feet the Villagers once more found the billet. End to .end play followed, during which each goal had narrow escapes. From a rush, Will Thomas put the homesters three up. The Normals were now kept well in their own half, and two goals were scored in rapid sue- cession. The Collegians now got going, Y; d from a corner had hard lines in not scoring, Davies saving in the nick of time. Hie game throughout seemed to be of a give 8ud take fashion, and the Villagers took any little chance that presented its-elf, and n they scored their sixth goal. Half-time: Gasinfryn Swifts 6, Normals 0. The second half opened with end to end play, but both defetioes were practically invulnerable. H. Williams had a good shot at goal, but the custodian was ail there. The villagers forced a penalty, and Will Thomas was entrusted with the kick, and soored. Later on Ilannaby scored for the Normals. Keeping up the pace the home forwards got going, and from a beautiful solo run by Hughie Lloyd a well-deserved goal was scored. From a penalty Rogers soored a point. Final: Glasinfryn Swifts 8, Normals 2.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. LLANDUDNO WHISPERS. The game between tho Llandudno Reserves and the Holyhead Reeerves at. Llandudno last Saturday proved, quite interesting, and somg good football waa(saen occasionally—at legist goo^i football f<?r a Second Division njatch.. There were tihe heroes' cf maify a hard tussl^ playing, boo. tm <"«• » e > t -*■ AmongsA the homesterS, there was ^eorg^o Dairies, and Will (Settle)VOwen, jwhilst the Har* bournion included in their ranks sucJi famous veterana tut Collier, their goalie, the two brothers Brown, not to speak of little Johnnw WaJJaoa. Both teams have a fairly good set of reserves, and throughout the first halt of the game and the first portion of the second half, the contest waa an even one. » » However, a quarter of an hour or so from time, tho LJandlu-dtoo men seemed to collapse utterly, and the visitors fairly romped home. ;to Hugh Wilkams proved a capable "keeper" for the Llandudno team. He saved soano beauties, and he could not be blamed for the goals that were recorded against him. The backs were also good, whilst in the half- back line, Georgie Davies was undoubtedly the "star." Amongst the forwards, one man stood out pronajnently, and that was the small but fleet- footed outside-left, Johnnie Mered.th. -.t- ¡r His runs were beautiful and his centres perfect, and he undoubtedly has a great football career to look forward to. « Frank Roberts was also good, but John Morris Daviee was too much of a rambler. » Will Owen appears to be iin good form once again. He introduced plenty of dash into his play on Saturday. The Holyhead men were full value for the two points. They have a good forward line, their wing men, particularly the outside-left, Johnnie Jones, being decidedly dangerous.

PWLLHELI PEBBLES. The Penquins attained their first success of tho season when they vanquished the JSor- mals. » < It is gratifying to sec so many of the Oud committee supporting the new bloods. « Th-3 Boys of the Old Brigade were oon- spÍcu-ous in the game on the btii mat., and they will be stiii more in evidence in tile immediate future. It is the duty of all interested in football to a-et sportsmanlike. Broadmindtdness should characterise footballers iikt other good people. There is a goodly number of promising footballers shaping lor good. positions in tho field by and by. Rowly Hughes has come out onoe more for the old town. # His admirers hope he will play throughout the season. Rowly and Griffith Evans will be an ex- cellent pair to cover Bob Williams. Bob Ellis, having donned the football kit, is once more as formidable as ever. His reappearance in the field is highly ap- preciated by the club and its supporters. *■ Saunders continues to improve, and his "headers" axe proverbial. Will Smalley is the club's "Jack Ashore." He cares no more for storms on the foot- ball field than he docs for storms 011 the sea. He is good at making up kc-way when danger threatens. # Smalley also knows how to get to the wind- ward of an opponent, and to steer for port— the goal. » W. O. Hughes was rather excited when he I appeared for the first time in the first team, but experience will soon eliminate ail that. The trickincss of Johnny Williams is as clever as ever. « Ben Evans, an all-round player, delights in getting goals. As a hard worker Will Griffith is un- equalled, and a fine support to 1 Team. J. H. Roberts and Will Griffith will mako useful right wingers. Dr Jim, Mr Wilkins.on and Mr Jack Morris are the only old members on the committee. W' 1(- The new members take a keen interest in the management of the club. «• -t if. L. A. Dobson, the new secretary, is just tho man for the office. F. E. Young, just returned from his holi- days, is full of new idetis. 71- ;t. Though retired from the chairmanship of the c-lui), Mr E. Watkin cannot r. Train from visiting the football field. Next week "Thumbnail Sketches" of tho new members of the club and others will apr pear in our columns.

CHESS. A COLWYN BAY CLUB MATCH. Teams representing members of tdio Colwyn Club living' east and west of Station-road, met un a friendly match on Thursday, -aid another win was added to that already tan-ling %o the credit of the Eastern team, despite the facta that its two leading representatives failed t) re- peat their victories of last season and that a slight change in tiio lxrandary lino placed another strong player (Mr Win. Jones) in the opposite ranks. Tho fixing cf the match at so early a dat,e was done with the coutle cb- jeot of having a return one later and of besting' the present strength of the various pia\er?, in view of the handicap tournament which com- mences on the 27th in.st.. As was only to 00 expected, the play 011 this ()CÇ3.&;0J1 afforded sundry surprises, the most; notable being tho defeat of Mr Hij/ginbottom by Mr Ccstage at No 3 board, and that of Miiler by Mr Summers at No 4; the play ot both the victors being most creditable. At No. 5 Miss Walker, who was making' her debut for the East, fully justified tho position assigned to her, while tho play cf Mr Longman, another new combatant, indicated that 110 should have been placed higher in the team. It is well for tho Match Committee that they have a few weeks in which to study the relative strength of their first dozen players before Jubmit.tin.g their proposed "Cup" teaia and reserves 10 the North Wales Association; for judging from present appearances, tho task of selecton will be by no means an easy one.

Bangor relied upon the same team, which mo thoroughly vanquished Flint a fortnight ago. Som-e disappointment was felt that Archie Carter, the Llanrwst centre-forward, was not given a further trial. < < • Bangor succeeded in penetrating the Ces- trians' defence exactly five minutes from the kick-off, the outcome of clever forward play. Receiving the ball conveniently when within IS vards of the goal, Hughie Owen shot for- cibly, the ball just entering the net quite out of Morgan's reach. • • • By a judicious header from a corner off Hwfa, G. Benham nearly equalised. < < Play was confined to midfield for a time, and a lofty kick by Ormersher just went over. < < A feature of the plav were the fine clear- ances by the Chester right back. A magnificent save by Ted Owen was loud- ly cheered, Holmes, when only six yards of goal, sending in a terrific grounder, which Ted saved at full length. Some further ex- cellent work by Ted excited applause. < Fine attacking by Bangor brought out the best in Jones and Dorset, who won the ad- miration of the crowd for exoelient kicking. After the Cestrians had been persistently pressing for a length of time, we were treat- ed to a nice run on the right, Evans eventu- ally forcing a corner, from which D. T. Da- vies just miased the upright with Morgan well beaten. After half-an-hour's play, Bangor increas- ed their lead, again through Hughie Owen. The credit for this goal, however, rests with Dargie, who, beating all opposition, crashed in a terrific shot, which Morgan scooped, out for Hughie Owen, who stood close in, to tap into the net. « The first half closed with Bangor leading by two goals to nothing. Play during the first moiety had been keen throughout, and it would not be oorrect to*say that Bangor quite deserved their lead. < < The enthusiasm usually displayed when re- presentatives of both cities meet was, during the first half, conspicuous bv its absence. The second half opened in a sensational manner, the Cestrians sweeping down and forcing a corner, from "which A. 131 en ha 111 neatly scored. » The Cestrians' success proved to be a stimulant, and play on both sid-es increased to a very fast pace, Bangor attacking vigor- ously. It After same tantalising- hard luck for the Ban- gor forward Oliver sent in a dha racier istic centre and Dargie, who had closed in, headed through, am:dst loud choc ring. This was no doubt tho best goal of the match. Pressure on the Chester goal was maintained for a considerable time, the backs being forced time after time to kick out and Morgan, the custodian, saved reepatedly. » » On account of the persistency of the home attack, tlio downfall of the Cestrians was expec- ted every moment, and the reward for clever work on tiie aprt of the home attack came when Hughie Owen put througli this third goal of the day. < Bangor continued to play excellently and after a good run and dribble Dargie beat Morgan to pieces with a rising shot. < < Attacks by the Cestrians were few and far between and when they did attack the Bangor defence was equal to all calls. » » Good football was exhibited by both sides and taking the game all through, Bangor fully de- served their victory ofl 5 goals to 1.

W. R. Owen in the wings, however, cleared their quarters of imminent danger, by a series of passes and long shots. Play was most lively, and the spectators thoroughly enjoyed it. J. E. Williams and his centre half got the leather and stole a march on the home forwards, but the home backs, for a moment or two, checked the advance. But Cleeve collared the ball at close quarters, sent it against Tommy Hughes, and into the net. Half-time soore: Blaenau, 1; Llandud- no, 1. THE SECOND HALF. Just after opening the second half, W. R. Owen mulled a good chance. The Seasiders penned the home lot for a while, but yet they escapod. Jim Williams and Bob Davies directed some hot shots in the direction of the home stronghold, and Cleeve had to keep an alert eye on his citadel. Positions were reversed,—the Quarrymen became very aggressive, and W. J. Hughes sent a fine shot straight for goal, but Stallard made a magnificent save. There was an ominous struggle near Stallard's charge, and B. Morris, J. H. Jones, Pearson, Johnson, and Brown strove with all their might to defend the custodian, and succeeded too. In a mid- field scuffle, Johnny Hughes was put hors- de-oombat for a short time. Bangor Jones, collaring the sphere from an opponent, shot for goal, and just missed. Bangocr Jones was in fine form. A free kick afforded a chance for W. J. Hughes to get at close quarters with the Tudno defenders, and I thought he would have smashed tihe defenoe. His moves, tricky and dexterous, could not be mastered by the visitors, but at length Stallard eased the pressure. Jim Lloyd, however, would not allow the leather to get from the Tudno quarters, and he essayed several attempts at out-flanking the visiting forwards and backs. Instantly, the ball was at the other end, with and his ohums in possession, and with every sign of conquering Bob Smith, but M. J. Morris brilliantly confounded them. Still, Cleeve and Co. had not yet done, and again .and again were they repulsed. The game was very strenuous indeed. Bangor Jones was hurt in the right eye, end .had to leave the field. Though short of hands, the Quarry- men became most aggressive, and got two or three corners. The visitors, towards the close, played a steady, solid game, but could make no impression on their opponents. Pearson and Johnson frequently assisted Cleeve in some of his clever movements, and J. E. Williams, D. Davies, and Bob Davies played a good clean game. The Quarrymen were urged by their comrades to score, but they were checked. So the game ended:- Blaenau, 1; Llandudno, 1.
