Cwmllynfell Drum-headI Service.
Cwmllynfell Drum-head Service. A VAST GATHERING. Under the auspices of the Cwmllynfell Bit- Badge Branch, a most successful drum-head service was held in typical summer weather on Sunday afternoon, on Tomenowen Grounds, when an immense crowd of about 5,000 people congregated from the districts. About 3 o' clock a procession of discharged soldiers from Brynamman, Gwaun-cae-gurwen, Cwm- llynfell and Cwmtwrch formed into a pro- cession, under the command of district officers, and marched from near the Railway Station to the scene of service, headed by the Bryn- amman Silver Band (conductor, Mr. A. W. Jones, A.S.C.). The route was thickly lined with spectators, who were treated with melo- dious and appropriate music. There were about 200 odd heroes of the great war in the concourse, and their appearance created, re- miniscenes of heroism and tenacity in all minds as they passed, breast forward, to the venue of thanksgiving for peace and commemoration of fallen comrades. The site selected for the meeting was an ideal one, the ground thereat raising gradually from the platform, affording all possible advantages to the multitude to see and hear all that went on and spoken I during the proceedings. This was possibly? responsible for the commendable order that prevailed and the especial interest the crowd took in the solemn and impressive service, which was opened by singing the hymn' "O j God, our Help in ages past," after which the president, Rev. G. R. Davies, Abercrave, gave his opening address, remarking that he did not personally know the fallen heroes all, but he, nevertheless, knew them to be heroes in the true sense of the word. It behoved them to conduct themselves in a becoming manner, if only in reverence to their dead friends, who had made the supreme sacrifice in order that* we should have Freedom and Peace. We are here to thank God for Peace, and to remember with respect and solemnity the brave ones who had had a grave in foreign ground while fighting for us. We cannot think of them without our hearts bubbling over with sympathy towards those who had been deprived of their sons and fathers. Peace and victory had not been secured without great sacrifice, many millions of gallant heroes had fatlen, while more millions had been wounded. The best way to remember the brave dead was to remember and assist their suffering ifcmg relations in their tribu- lation. Our soldiers and sailors had fought for Freedom, Righteousness and Justice. He was afraid that the very things they had been fighting against were returning again, and it was our duty to assist them to reach the object of their Federation. The Rev. David Williams read a portion of Scripture and prayed in English, and after the hymn "Jesu, Lover of my Soul," was feelingly sung by the throng. The Rev. Eirug Davies, B.A., B.D., gave an erudite address. We are hare to remember the dead who gave their all for us, and to sympathise with the relations. War was but a great misfortune to the world. There were no parents present who would nurse up a child with the intention of making a soldier of him. He surmised that the greatest appeal that rose from the graves of the dead heroes was for us to live in such a way as to make war impossible in the future. The country's call was heeded in a most magnificent manner by our boys. Now that the conflict was past, he appealed to them to heed the voice of Christ, and fight for the good of the world, as they had so heroically done on the battle- field. The best training centre for Christian soldiers was the Church. You young men have shown remarkable heroism during the Great War. Your chance has come to exer- cise your forces against sin. You know what discipline, obedience, and sacrifice means now. Religion claimed that you should mani- fest equal obedience and sacrifice on the side of morality. War against sin is the only war to end war. Whatever sacrifice the conflict we have just emanated from claimed, it meant as much sacrifice and heroism to fight the obstacles which stood in the way of living a religious life. Lead, Kindly Light" was impressively sung at this juncture, and the Roll of Honour was read by the president. Thirteen names were given of those who had made the supreme sacrifice: Brinley Rees, Prospect Place; Johnny Davies, Gwilym Road; Tommy Griffiths, Railway View; James Harries, Bryn Road; ,Johnny Llewelyn,, Ochorywaiin; Harry Morgan, Post Office; Walter Morgan, Gwilym Road; H. Postings, Cefnbrynbrain; Tommy Pitman I Tomenowen Johnny Thomas, Ystradowen; Johnny Williams, Gwilym Road; M. C. Williams, Ystradowen; W. Morris, Gynol. The Brynamman Band played most effec- tively the selection "In Memory of the Brave," and the crowd followed' with the singing of "0 Fryniau Caersalem." The Rev. Evan Davies, B.A., Cwmgorse, gave a summarised account of the progress of the war since the "Contemptible little Army" had to retreat from Mons, and the Germans in endless numbers were rushing towards the Channel Ports, bent on invading England. Our heroic boys, of which those before him were amongst them, declared that if the Ger- mans insisted on reaching England, they would have to do so by tramping over their dead bodies. We were shuddering at the thought that the enemy, who was devastating the fair fields of France, wrecking homes and demolishing churches, should reach here, but the tables turned, Might was superceded by Right. Thanks to the boys. You showed the greatest pluck, and made the greatest sacrifice, and saved us. The highest ideal in sacrifice and self-denial had been attained by our heroes. Now that we have won, and the boys returned home, let us be up and doing, to do our best for them in return. I am privileged to be the president of the Gwaun-, cae-gurwen Branch. I consider it the greatest honour ever conferred upon me. We hear a lot about principle and conscience these days. They are no good unless carried into practice. We are here to-day to commemorate the actions of men of deeds and not words. Whatever claims become incumbent on us now, the soldier and sailor has a right to the first claim above all. A written expression of sympathy with the relatives of the fallen soldiers and sailors connected with Bryn Seion Church was read by the president, and the "Last Post" was sounded by the band, and the National Anthem sung to terminate an impressive service. The veteran musician, Mr. D. W. Rowlands, F.T.S.C., conducted the praise, and Mr. T. W. Williams was the energetic secretary of the event. A substantial collection was made towards the local Branch.
Amman Valley Sporting GossipI
Amman Valley Sporting Gossip I [By FREELANCE."] I Contributions to this column will be heartily welcomed. For the coming season,, Ammanford will have two representative sides to cater for both the Rugby and Soccer enthusiasts. Abbot Griffiths, the captain of the Rugby Club, is an old stager at the game, and, no I doubt, will give every satisfaction to his co- players. He can easily be recognised as one of the finest leaders, and his play in the past has been of the highest standard. It is rather dubious whether the Rugby Club will commandeer their old playing pitch on the Cricket Field. The Soccerites already in the field, mastering their past form, will attract a large number of strong sup- porters. Prior to the war, the Ammanford Club did remarkably well, considering that they were then but in their infancy. I hear that the present club is likely tS outshine the old in the matter of players. Tommy Jones, the well-known Builth goalkeeper, has con- sented to play. The club, in addition, will have the choice of the Valley. There is no likelihood of teams "being formed at either Gamant or Llandebie this coming season, ahd all will be amalgamated. Hartle, the trainer, is already busy getting his men into trim, and is confident of a suc- cessful season. He, in his younger days, has been a spark" in the Soccer world, and is always ready to throw in his lot with the promoters of this popular pastime. I do not know whether Tommy Twist will figure so conspicuously in the ranks of the club, but we can feel assured of his able assistance. Tommy has been sadly handi- capped by the war, but fortunately is as keen as ever. His interest can be judged from the fact that he has already attended two of the League meetings held at Swansea. I was just wondering what had become of Jack Leyshon. His activities in sporting circles at Amman ford have somewhat diminished. There is, however, a good, deal to be said in connection with his movements. A month or so ago he went under an opera- tion at the Swansea Hospital. Whether he will take to football seriously this season remains to be again fathomed. Ike Fowler, the well-known Ammanford Rugbyite, as going up North. His services, more especially to the Llanelly Club, will be sadly missed. During the past season he was the mainstay of the side. It was last season, too, that he gained his International cap. In our columns will be found a review of the games'played between the Gamant and Ammanford Cricket Clubs. One of the Old School is the contributor, and he very fairly outlines the capabilities of the different players from Ammanford. He specially men- tions Lewis Hopkins, Hughson, Gil Fletcher, Mil Davies, and Luther Thomas. Personally, j I believe these followers of the summer pas- t 1I. me wi*l It figure conspicuously in the near future. I believe, too, that mention is made of the fine achievement of Mil Davies, who on one occasion carried his bat right through the minings. It is seldom we hear of a stunt of the kind. Brynamman is out to outshine its past record, and already matters are well in hand for the forthcoming season. I take it, how- ever, that Rugby is the chief attraction with the sports." Every luck to them, and may the good old game prosper in that area. On Saturday evening last, a large crowd witnessed a i25 a-side match over 100 yards between Will Jenkins, Tirydail, and Georgie Thomas, Blaenau. The former won by about three yards. Half the distance was covered at a level, but Jenkins easily got ahead. By the way, Will Jenkins is forging ahead as a first-class sprinter. Continuous training will bring him to a head, and already he is a dangerous opponent on the track. His first success, if I remember rightly, was on the Ammanford Recreation Ground, when he beat several well-known Rhonada runners. May every success attend him. Idris Jones made a plucky stand at Llan- elly some time ago, despite the fact that only two nights prevous he figured at Liverpool with Success. Again, on Tuesday evening last, at Liverpool, he fought cleverly against Billy Marchant, Salford, and only lost by a narrow margin of points. I cannot finish off my notes this week with- out referring to the excellent and successful season met with by the Ammanford Tennis Club. The officials have worked diligently to ensure the results gained, and chief and foremost is Mr. A. Preston, the captain. His sportsmanlike actions have gained him con- tStdetable popularity, I

Under the Lamp. |
Under the Lamp. | [By THE WATCHMAN."] The Rev. j. Griffiths, B.A., B.D., proached his farewell sermon on Sunday evening last. During the eleven years he has occupied the pastorate of Ebenezer Church, the success of the cause has been his main and just ambition. The membership during that period has also considerably increased. The loss will be more keenly felt with the young people, by whom Mr. Griffiths was looked upon as a faithful and ever-ready friend. His many kindnesses have been regarded as the pillar of the Church, and to the returned sailors and soldiers words could not justify their appreciation of his noble services. His service to the public life of Ammanford is another feature in his success- ful career. It will be remembered that some time ago Mr. Griffiths contributed several interesting articles to our columns, outlining the duties of Local Government. As a mem- ber of the County Education Committee, his presence had already been felt, and to the cause of the workers' children a valuable asset has been lost. On Mr. Griffiths' departure, a vacancy will be declared on the Carmarthenshire County Council, and already there are two candi- dates in the field, one to be nominated by the Trades and Labour Council, and the other by the Discharged Sailors' and Soldiers' Federation. They are respectively Mr. David George, Pentwyn Road, Bettws, and Coun- cillor Frank Dawson, Roselands, Ammanford. Both represent the Labour interest, and naturally a stiff fight is predicted. For the moment, I prefer to remain silent on the ques- tion ot qualification for the honour.

Lawn Tennis. AMMANFORD v. GARNANT. Last Thursday, the second match took place between Ammanford and Garnant, resulting in a win for Ammanford by five events to four. Incidentally, it may be men- tioned that Garnant were without their first couple, for Llewelyn was absent. Having won a match each, it would be rather in- teresting to learn what the outcome of a third match would be. Scores:— G. Thomas and D. Jenkins (Garnant) lost to A. Preston and H. Harries, 4-6, 3-6; beat D. Jones and B. Hughes, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 lost to G. Watkins and D. Jenkins, 6-4, 3-6, 4-6. W. H. Williams and R. J. Williams (Garnant) beat A. Preston and H. Harries, 6-0, 5-7, 6-3; beat D. Jones and B. Hughes, 6-3, 6-3; lost to G. Watkins and D. Jenkins, 1-6, 0-6.. A. Roberts and J. Davies (Garnant) lost to A. Preston and H. Harries, 7-5, 4-6- 3-6; beat D. Jones and B. ghes, 6-2, 6-4; lost to G. Watkins and D. Jenkins, 0-6, 0-6. DOUBLE FAULT.
Amman United Notes.
Amman United Notes. [By "OLD SPORT."] The prospects for the coming season are very bright. All last season's players are available, with the addition of a few more well-known pre-war members who have lately been demobilised. Joe Rees, the versatile full-back, has been elected captain by his fellow-player&-a popular selection. Joe has done well in Army football, and was a reserve for the Army side in the recent contests for the King' s Cup. It is to be hoped that Ellis Williams will be able to play. He would prove a tower of strength to the rear division. An old injury is giving him some ttouble, and this may possibly keep him off the field, more's the pity. Arthur Price will be available again, I understand, and his experience will be very serviceable at the base of the scrum. Garfield Phillips is as keen as of yore. This speaks for itself. The forwards will, as usual, be Amman's strong point, and I anticipate some sparkling play from one or two of the youngsters, who shewed great promise last season. Two teams are to be run for the first time officially under the one committee. It is more or less an experiment, particularly in view of the increased costs of travelling, &c. However, with proper backing, there is no reason why it should not prove a success. The first team's fixture list is practically complete, and will compare more than favourably with other local cards. I hope to publish it, with the Editor's perm ission, in the next issue of the Chronicle. The seconds' list is gradually filling up, and any sides who would like dates should apply to the secretary at once. Mr. W. A. Hay, Myrtwydd, Glanamman, was the only possible choice for secretary. He is fortunate in having nearly all the old committee behind him again, with the addi- tion of Evan Bevan, the old Amman forward, and a few other enthusiasts. The team colours have had to be slightly altered from pre-war, ow i ng to the difficulty of procuring striped jerseys. The colour is now plain scarlet. The season opens on September 6th, and runs into the last week in April. Season tickets will be on sale very shortly, the price, I believe, being ten shillings, inclusive of tax. I understand, however, that this does not cover second team's matches.
