SPORT AT MORRISTON. ———.——— < The Dfficulties of Team I Building. Although the war has made many changes to many forms of sport at Mor- riston, football is still kept alive in one way or other. As in years gone by, the Morriston C.L.B. has been able to field an eleven, though with great difficulty, since all the members of the first eleven are with the colours. The juniors have now taken the place of the premiers. The C.L.B. started very badly, for a few weeks ago Swan Rovers, a very determined sort of team, swamped over the C.L.B. Last Saturday, they were all out to avenge their very poor start, when they had Vardre United (Mond Nickel Works plumber lads) at home. Manv changes had been made in the C.L.B. team, and soffie of the boy? played in pofdtiona ir. which they were not capable. Unfortunately, when the teams fielded rain set in, and before many minut(- the ground became very wet in some places, and the ball seemed to get out of control. The visitors were very aggressive and were more than a match for the homesters. In the first ten minutes they did every- thing but score, and credit is dhe to the untiring efforts of the backs. However, the C.L.B. improved as the game went on, and some clever play was witnessed. Hav- ing had a strong wind in their favour, 1 the victors attacked hotly, but, thanks to the defence, the homesters were relieved by a smart movement by their centre- half, who took the ball on his own well up the field, and finally passed it to the outside-left, who dashed along right into the goal-mouth, giving the visitore goal- keeper no chance to save a well-earned goal. Eventually half-time came with the C.L.B.-its one goal up. Having got the wind in the second half, the homesters ab- solutely had their own way, but their shooting was not up to much. However, after about ten mintes' play, the C.L.B.- ites' centre-half ran clean through the visitors and registered a second goal. As time went on, a penalty brought another goal for the Morriston lads; and after come more good play the homesters had increased their lead to 6 goals. Although the visitors put up a very determined effort they could not score. The players on both sides can credit themselves upon giving a good, display of football, especially for juniors. The scorers for the C.L.B were: O. Davies (captain), 2; W. Lewis, 2; Meidrym Davies, and Arthur White.

GERMAN POTATO FAMINE. Amsterdam, Friday.—Herr von Batocki, replying-in the Reichstag to attacks on the food department under his control, said the unrest about the potato supply was intelligible, as supples had ceased. The 1914 potato harvest was not normal, and the surplus was soon finished. "The smallnoss of this year's Onarvcst," he added, is due partly to the lack of seed potatoes. Until further notice I forbid all trade in food potatoes." It is learned from the Belgian frontier that the Germans have appointed a pro- vincial committee for the distribution of potatoes at the rate of 3oz. per person per day. r Contraventions will be punished by a fine of X500 or a year's imprisonment.— Reuter.

W *'■ Our Short Story. 1 Miss Minns' Romance. BT I MADGE BARLOW. (Continued.) I A forgotten shorthand draft of a letter necessitated going to Cargill's room during his lunch hour. She recollected, using a loose leal of her notebook while he dic- tated the nest of his correspondence. Hur- riedly she searched. amid hit untidy litter of papers, and chanced by accident on a letter he had begun to write and pushed beneath the blotting-pad to finish at his leisure. It arrested her eye, gripped her, tempted her to linger and read- "My darling Mary,— Between you and me confessions of love are not required. I have loved you liiiuiv weary years in the silence of a heart that bled at every thought of you, and what might never be. Your dear face ttlh me you are mine and allays the fear that because I a 111 not worthy oi you it would' be vain to plead now for the tresure long coveted and despaired of. Still, 1 aili timorous. I keep looking for a sign. • Here he had broken off. Miss Minns I thrust the tender missive back into hid- ing and became snow-white. Her name Mary. The unfinished let'.cr was Cargill's proposal of marriage. This is the evening on which we meet her in the crowded Tube, transported to realms of purest rapture. The buily mechanic who had trampled her feet for 'he twentieth time began to his un- fitting cruelty, and muttered an apology Mary didn't hear. Her eyes interested him. GawÔ!" he breathed. "They re- mind me of the little nippers 'oo died. They don't tally wif the rest of 'er. Forty if she's a day, and them kid's eyes shin' in 'er face. Single, too," studying her bare left hand. She didn't ought to be let out alone."  Unaware of his r?p scrutiny, Missj Minus continued ta see vrions. To her -surprise the late postal delivery did not bring that letter, nor did the moini"g' but ?he was unworried. Carsill? slow- but ,Iie was iinworr,Ie(l. undermine I?r li?i(i io her faith in h?u.

She waited tor a cnurle of we(k, eere?Iv content to wait. Then the I<?t words of the uincnt letter flashed on her memory. „ I keep looking for a si,-n. Row stupid she had been. lie was waiting as anxiously as she. In the even-j ing she gloated over her boxiul ot roscs., They were LS much a weekly institution as the half holiday by law established. He had chosen a rose £ or his owu love „igna. and his persistent renewal of the gut showed that he meant her to choose one., Next" day Pip grinned at the splash oi j crimson on her blouse, and taciturn Peter s( complexion rivalled it. Cargill was absent the entire forenoon. He entered the office at ± p.m., brought I Bissett to the private room, and had a! lengthy chat tx-fore his bell summoned j Miss Minns. She answered it tremblingly,, and his eyes fell at once upon the fading j rose, softened, and grew reminiscent. Some- minutes elapsed ere lie spoke. She found the interval embarrassing. I've been talking to Bissett of a mar- villous change whir-a has come to me, and to mv astonishment, he said you and he had guessed it. That being the case you'll, spare me a second recital, I am sure. He laughed nervously, and shifted the papers; L'hout on his desk. "I will simply tay ours is going to be a love match, and I expect to be "very happy, very grateful to God for His best blessing." "And I," she nearly sobbed. It is a, j daily wonder. I didn't believe I could ever be 60 happy about anything. You are good to cire, he replied. His humility touched her to the depths of the heart. lier shaking hands went out to him, and at that juncture Pip olwned: the door, and announced a business client, and Miss Minns fled. Cargill left with the client, pausing on his way beside her table. Peter will sign my letters." be S8id.! I shall be detained in town and c?not return. And I hadn't time to ask you a question I intended to ask. Will you "—his agitation extrem" be at the Blank Street Kegu-try Office to-morrow at 11 a.liP-.? You needn't come to the office. The staff is liaving a general holiday in honour of the great occasion Biseett has promised to break the news to them." Miss Minns nodded, tongue-tied. This lordly appropriation of her seemed as it should be. 'Tis the king's privilege to command. Cargill departed and Peter approached, his agitation exceeding his employer's, though that had been acute. I'll walk you home after I've locked up," he murmured hoarsely. "I have something particular to say. Would you- would you give me your withered flower. Miss Minns? Her fingers clenched over it. "Not for the. hold of the Mint," she replied, her aspect fierce. Eluding Peter while he was lost to sight in the recesses of the big safe. she slipped downstairs to spend the bustling evening of a lady who was to be married in the morning and who had no clothes, Her trunks contained a few pounds jealously hoarded against a rainy day. She rifled it, aped to a general draper's and outfitter's, and squandered the money on a ready-to- wear grey cloth costume, a smart toque, gloves, shoes, and a shadow-lace veil Penniless but jubilant, she tottered irtfeo the street with her puFckaee* as the shop doors were shutting. Miss Minns arrived at the Blank Street Registry too early. Such a resplendent Miss Minns! Pacing the pavement in her brid,al finery, her manifest trepedation drew amueed attention to her. The office tM a busy and popular one. People were amotantly tripping up and down the eteps. They eyed her boldly, and she eyed them bashfully. A forward damsel tittered and said audibly. Her bloke's late," and poor Miss Minns reddened and hung her head. A horrid suspicion drove the blood to her heart. Supposing Mr. Cargill's abrupt matrimonial adventure were a symptom of mental derangement, and ihis friends had placed him under restraint, and he couldn't oome at all. She wiped cold sweat off her lips, and panic seized her. In the distance she saw the lame clerk advancing towards her, the bearer probably of evil tidings. Isn't it bridal weather? cried Peter, shak-iag her hand, his genial tone dispell- ing her tenors. Why did ycu ron away last night? I'd a lot to tell you concern- ing the ceremony myself." Miae Minns' short cough vm dignified.

She's a Miss Marv Rose Arbutihnot. Car- gill was engaged to her, and her anv bitious parents spparated them. They're dead a year, and be couldn't find her. fte told me yesterday that the day he wore the red rose was the day he -rediscovered her. I wanted to walk home with you to discuss it. and arrange for this morning. He s.i.id he'd like us both to be wit- ness? s. The street was whir?in? round and  was whirling roun d and round )lis. Minns Gh??tly white and weak as a I-iby -ihe c,-iu,-ht an iron rail- ing to save herself from failing. Her eyes were blind with shame. It's a delightful love story," quoth Peter, not noticing anything wrong. Fancy being true to each other ten years. It has mad e a new man of Car- gill, and of me, and another woman of you. When that breath of romance en- livened our prosy quarter" I began to send you roses. I saw you with different vision. I watched you growing young. and bright, and fair—yes, fair-,aiad I loved you, Miss Minns." She started convulsively. Through the shadow-lace veil her stricken eyes peered at him, furtive, afraid. I didn't imagine you'd care," con- tinued Peter, until you and I were talking of Cargill being in love, and after I'd back to my accounts you thanked me shyly for the roses. I knew it was for the rotxs, and your face con- fessed ho.. much you cared. Then your wore one, encouraging me to speak. I'm yo;u' clear heart, and you are mine. We've a lot of wasted happiness to make up for, Mary." He hadn't the faintest conception of the truth. He folly was her own secret still. Misks Minns dumbly &aid he,r prayers and ;iraistd G.od. Her tears spotted the grey ivid gloves. Cargill and Miss Arbuthnot will be here in a minute. Before they come speak a word of hope," he pleaded, quite v, orm and moist with the exertion of talking so much. e d The honk-honk of Cargill's motor horn spurred her to a decision. She crept to hi., idp like a tired child. I should be glad to be protedoo," she quavered. It must be beautiful to be p. u tee ted from every danger, and from one's self. Give me yotir Peter." (The End.)

BIG SHIPPiti-G DEAL. I EHerman Line to Absorb I I Wilson's. It was o aeially announced by Messrs. Thymus Wilson, Sons, and Co. (Limited), of H :dl, on Friday night that Sir John I.Ilennan. chairman of the Ellerman Line, has r:r.nged to acquire the whole of the -hares in the company. In the statement accompanying the an- nouncement the Wilson Line state that for some time it has been evident to these concerned in the management that definite preps must he taken to provide for the development of this large shipping busi- ness, so important to the part of Hull. Xeutral shipowners have throughout the war been making nine,h'larger profits than British shipowners, and have not been subjected to the heavy taxation which the j Government has had to impose on British traders. Ncutra! shipowners will, there- fore. be in a position to utilise these pmfits .nd enter into severe competition, and in view of the heavy cost and ihg difficulty of the re-placement of lost vessels it has been decided to enter into these amalgamation lrrangements. which will be for the bene- fit of the British nation as a whole. Mr. Oswald Sanderson, the present managing director, will retain the management of the company. The Wilson fleet of steamers numbers about 80 vessels, with a deadweight rapacity of nearly half-a-million tons. The fleets hitherto controlled by Sir John Ellerman total upwards of 120 vessels, with a deadweight tonnage of over I 750,000 tons, making th? combination ex- tremely large and powerful.

A COMFORTABLE WIN. I a Gowerton School Beat Swan- I sea Grammarians. A Gowerton eorresoondent writes:—The Gowerton County School opened their football season on Saturday in a match with the Swansea Grammar Sycbool 4ngby team. The result, which was particularly gratifying to the homesters (Goweprton), shows that, although the team consisted of a number of new players, and the weight of bye-gone stars was sadly lack- ing, the Gowertonians are making a de- I termined effort to regain the lost annals of last year. >■ The match commenced with the visi- tors playing against the wind. and after a lively half-hour in the interval cam with the rcore:Gowertan. 8 ¥.; Swaa- sea, nil. The weather in the second half be- came dismal, but eveii heary showers of rain failed to damp th. ardour of th. players. The Grammar School made strong efforts to equalise, but from the commencement of the game, it was evi- dent that the visitors were playing a losing game, and it was only once that they broke through the strong barrier of defence put up by the whole of the home team. The danger at this juncture was averted by meaas of a minor, by one of the homes tews. The half-hacks for Gowon (Hughes and Mort) proved valuable, and suc- ceeded in getting the ball away to the three-quarters erery time, but owing to the boisterous winds which were blowing the ball was lost more than once in the passing. But for this reason G-owerton school would have won by a more com- fortable margin that they did. Grey. one of the how three-quarters, played an exceedingly good game, completely running through the opposing side more than once; but by some ill luck he al- ways missed his footing; and the ball went rolling away over the line, wwre it Lwas quickly mmored.' h- one of his oompan. &!ao f | failed twice to score by losing the ball on the very line. Howells played well, and twice succeeded in scorinc for Gower- ton. Two goals were converted by Mort, whose judgment under each weather con- ditions as prevailed was excellent. Thus after an hour's strentions fame, in which the visiters were absolutely lost, Gower- ton was easily left the victors by a mar- gin of 16 points. It is sincerely to be hoped that this form will be kept op during the coming season, at the end of which all Gowertonifiis hope to see the school team with an unbeaten record The scorers for Gowertop were: Glyn Howells (2 tr.), Cyril Jones and Cyril Davies (1). and Trevor Mort converted twice.

STAGE AND STALLS. ——— Ttr6 attraction next week at the Grand Theatre will be Caroline." W. Somerset MaugharKs latest successful comedy, direct front its record-breaking success at Wyndham's New Theatre, London. The sparkling wit and brilliant dalliance throughout the play little suggest the grim place from which Caroline" first saw the light, for the greater part of the play is sq.id to have been written actually in the trertshes. The play took London by storm, and jto opportunity should be lost of witnessing -.the piece when it will be played by the admirable company of Miss Emma Hutchison and Mr. Percy Hut- chison. Carolina perself will be played MISS LILIAS EARLE as Caroline" at the Grand Theatre, 1 Swansea, next week. by Miss Lilian Earle (Mrs. Percy I Hutchison), who is equally well known in London and tie provinces. Miffi Earle will be remembered for her successes in Mrs. Dane's Defence when supporting Sir Charles Wyndham during Miss Mary Moore's absence, The Liars," Peter's Mot hex," and more latterly for her render- ing of Lady Felicia in Sealed Orders." Caroline will be of particular interest to the feminino portion of the audience if only for the reason that Caroline and 'her two friends are garbed in gowns of a wonderful and cotstly description and are exact* replicas of those worji hy Miss Irene Vanbrugh in the original London produc- tion. Seats should be booked at once. An exceptionally •strong all-variety bill will be presented at the Empire next week, headed by Walter Bird's West End com- pany in Slippers," with that laugrh- compelling comedian Ernie Lotinga as the principal. "Slippers" is described as an entirely new sensational dramatic bur- lesque. A veritable riot of fun turns round the plotting of the Red Triangle Society," an awesome body of persons who (C rob the rich to give to the poor, retaining a percentage for their trouble." Ernie Lotinga figures as a very special constable who gets himself hopelessly entangled whilst trying to unravel the mysteries of the Society. How he escaped is revealed in a sewtaming climax. Nixon Grey achieves the comedian's ambition better than many.. IRa has natural qualities that un- doubtedly help him to be really funny, assisted by a taking voice, exploiting good raa.ter.ial in the way of songs and clean patter assure his popularity. lovers of the violia will be given an exceptional per- formance when a special attraction will be presented in Mdlle. Olga Morseflli, who made her English debut in London a few weeks J:'O, when she created quite a furore in Tnngical circles.

Harry Ford is etyled the logical comedian. His humorous arguments in song never fail to tickle the palate of his audience. Daisy Taylor, the dainty Scotch comedienne, ir, deservedly popular, and will be heard in new songs. Flora Cromer, one of the most popular cf scena song artistes, breaks away from kei- own revue, Oh You Must," and reverts to her single act for a week. Wood and Welsh, balancing and comedy eccentrics, and the latest news and war films complete the bill.

Mies Doro ap- pears with her husband, Wm. Gillette, in this Famous Player's production, in which she also made her last stage ap- pearance in New York. U Diplomacy is a highly interesting drama of political villainy, based upon the foreign spy system. To the charm of the star and of the play, there is added the scenic beauty of Slorida, where the company journeyed in order to obtain many of the exterior settings of the piece. Besides Miss Doro and Elliott Dexter, the cut includes Rus- eel Basset, Frank Losee, and Miss Edith Campbell Walker, and lovers of good photo-piays should not miss this tine pro- duction. Other pictures include His Auto Ruination," featuring Mack Swain in a two-part Triangle Keystone as a motor maniac; "A Matrimonial Scheme," Nordisk Comedy, and Pathe's Animated Gazette.

A Bison exclusive entitled Hulda, the Silent," a fine picture full of dramatic incidents, will be the second star. For the comedy part the chief will be A Game ,t rles '-Nrurray in Old Knight," featuring Charles Murray in a romance. The Impostor is shortly to be shown at this picture hall.

As a clerk to fhe Medical Board at the j Camber well Baths he had access to the certificates and the stamp Not accepted; medically unfit." He forged two rejection certificates, for one of which he got .£5.

The magistrate took a very serious view of roe case. You made a trade of it, he said.
