DOES PARALYSIS THREATEN P…
DOES PARALYSIS THREATEN P I DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS CURE. I Paralysis threatens people who are not aware of it. Do you realise the horrors of it —the ever-growing pain, the utter inability to move the palsied limbs, the torturing needle- pains in the spine? Death by inches creeping up the body? Th?«e things do not all appear at once. You may be in danger without knowing it. Numb- ness and loss of sensation in either arm or leg is not by any means the first sign. If your back feels weak and lame, if yon have a dull pain across the bottom of the spine, if your hand is sometimes very unsteady, and (in man) manly strength "diminished, there is a great likelihood that Paralysis threatens. In one form—the worst—loss of balance is a sign: you cannot stand upright, having the eyes shut, without, after a second or two. beginning to sway about. This is a sign of Locomotor Ataxy; the torture in which men and women die who have this disease is too horrible to be described. 17crst of all, it was long believed to ba incurable. People pro- nounced ABSOLUTELY INCURABLE I after examination by the most learned doctors have, however, been cured during the last few years by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Naturally, it is well to take them before the disease has had time to develop too far. At the first signs they should be taken. They have warded off many an attack, saved many a man from a life of agony, many a family from starvation through the slow death of its Bread-winner. Mr. Thompson, New House Farm, Caldwell, Darlington, was told by all the doctors who examined him that he had no chance of recovery. His face was contorted by paralysis. At first he only felt a numbness coming over him. But if he closed his eyes he staggered and fell, and after a time he was seized by tearing pains in the back. A sensat ion as if a cord were tied tight round his middle was another thing he complained of. He was suffering, in short, from Locomotor Ataxy. the most terrible of all paralysis. When all doctors gave him up Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were tried. Their effect soon convinced everyone that they could cope with the disease. Mr. Thompson when last se-en had so far recovered that. with the exception of a little bit of shakinesa in his hands, he is nearly well. At one time he had been so bad that he could not feed himself. He now walked unaided even by a stick, and said that he was quite amazed at the cure which had been wrought after he had quite given up hope. The minor ailments of life naturally yield more easily than these severe cases. Rheu- matism, Anaemia, St. Vitus' Dance, the ail- ments troublesome to women, Headache, Backache, and Kidney Disease are among the disorders which Dr. Willia-nas' Pink Pill £ for Pale People fbnt only the genuine pills, whicb may be distinguished by bearing Dr. Williams' name) have cured.

BARGOED RUGBY GOSSIP. I The United had to suffer a defeat on Satur- day last. Pontlottyn Wanderers being the victors. The try the referee gave the Pontlottynites ■was a great mistake, as the ball was touched down in touch-in-goal. The feature of the game was Dick Eosser's sensational ran, beating man after man and scoring in style. This was disallowed by the referee for no cause whatever.

RUGBYRULEREFORM I-
RUGBYRULEREFORM [I Relays of Reverence Make the Work Slow. THE NEED FOR INDEPENDENT UMPIRES. Wjiile on the subject of rule reform, it will not be amiss to point out a few trivialities that might well he set aside. Let us look at Rule S: If t player makl's t fair catch he shall be awarded a free kick-, even though the whistle has been blown for knock-on, and he himself must either place or kick the ball In the "And he himself mn-st either place or kick the ball" there eeems to be a r kind of an endeavour to reward the player for being so kind as to make the fair caich. As I understand things, any advantage gained should be open to the whole side to utilise, j It seems silly to prevent the side having the advantage of utilising the catch from allow- ing any of the side to drop kick or p;a?o the ball. If .it be so ab-3olatey eMpnti?i that the player making the catch should drop-kick or place the ball himself why is it not made essential that the man scoring a try should either pl-ice the ball or take the kick himself? For the life of me I can't see the different. Take again the rnle relating to the bring- ing the ball into play- from a touch-down or unsuccessful kick at goal. Why ia it so despe- rately necessary that this should be a drop- out? As long as the ball is in the hands of the kicker why should he not punt it? The idea, is to drive the ball to the beat position as determined by the kicker or his captain. If a man can do this better by punting than by drop-kicking then why not? The game gains nothing by this particular drop-kick. Rale reform is slow business. The slowest section concerns the goal itself. Many of my readers would not like to see any change instituted in the getting of a goal. If from a drop or place kick they like to see the ball soar clearly away between the posts. If touched in its flight by an opponent they wil- lingly concede that it is according to rule, and should be by common-sense "no goal." But, why? If the ball gets over the bar between the posts the goal should, in my opinion, be allowed. The fact that the ball has been touched in its flight does not detract in the least from the value of the kick-in fact, in I the majority of cases it shows the kick to have been of additional strength. The defend- ing party did their best to stop it and failed. Of coarse, I am intensely sorry to be at variance with my clear-goal loving friend. I know that a goal has been an object of reve- rence for ever so long now. I can remember a goal being so worshipped as to beat any number of tries. It was a long time before any each horrible idea as sticking on so many points for a goal was so much as dreamt of. A goal was a. goal, and there you are. It was a "Woodman, spare this tree" kind of feeling. Relays of reverence. A conscientious objector will say: If the rule were reformed as you desire, what would you do if one of the defending side inadver- tently kicked the ball over the bar, for that would be a case of the ball crossing over the bar between the posts? Well, I should cer- tainly allow as many goals as the defending side liked to kick against themselves. It would be affecting to see the motherly interest which the attacking side would take in this proceeding. There are two most unsatisfactory proceed- ings in the Rugby game which need revising. and these are the throwing of the ball out of touch and the placing: of the ball in A scrim- mage. Even on a perfectly windless day the ball is thrown out to pitch at any angle besides that of the right angle seven times out of ten, while on a day with wind about the waste of time bites sadly into the game. The example of punting out from touch set by the Northern Union is said by judges who have witnessed a few of their games to remedy this loas of time and actually to open out the game. Readers will notice that I mentioned the Northern Union in a whisper. If anyone has invented a method to get the ball into the scrum other than the present unsatisfying method, then, in the name of clean football, let us have it. To watch the Ah Chin simplicity with which many half. backs would place the ball amongst his for- wards' legs, or give it a bias or twist to accom- plish the same fell purpose, makes one ring up his reserve stock of faitbl in the human thing. Though reform is a slow process in Rugby, yet there is reform. It needs very little effort to remember when the bringing out of the ball for a kick at goal was a very delicate business, indeed. No one but the carrier 'f,:t8 to touch it or almost even breathe on it. The carrier himself was not to aJlow it to drop or to touch the ground for a, moment. If he did, then the kicker had to take pot luck with the kiek, just getting as much placing done as he could manage in the time that it took the opponents to hurry up to tell him how sorry they were. How jealously we watched that man carrying out the ball. Sometimes in our over-anxiety we charged before time, and then charged again, and as often as we thought it would worry the kicker. There was no "No charge" business then. I remember perfectly a cop match played at Llanelly against Swansea on February 20, 1886. Llanelly had scored a try, and W. Mitchell was bringing the ball out. Being captain, I had deputed myself to kick at goal. It was muddy, and the ball had its share. Old Bill Mitchell (we always called him "old" simply because he wasn't was terribly anxious ) was terribly anxious to get the goal. He wiped the mud off with his sleeve, while I was wiping the toe of one boot on a neighbouring stocking. Finding that the sleeve did not take enough off, Bill selected some nice thick grass and started rubbing the ball on the ground. Whispering to him was no good; dumb signs likewise. The action had been so natural that Swansea had not noticed it. While trying to get Bill to stob rubbing and place the ba.ll, I saw through the corner of my eye that Teddy Bishop was dancing about telling his confreres something, and all at once a cup-tie yell (Fennimore Cooper's Indians' beat was only an echo to this) sounded through the air. Diplomatic whispering was now chucked, and, with a "Stick it down, you a.&I! I persuaded sweet William to down it at last in time to see it kicked anywhere but where it ought to go I wonder, too, what would happen if a team to-day walked off the field-not an uncommon proceeding in the old days. The cup-tie match between Llanelly and Llandilo and Llan- dovery United in 1883, played at Llandilo, was remarkable for the fact that the United team walked off the ground after ten minutes' play. Whether they were as "united" as they should have been or not. I cannot say, but home they I went. This was a most unkind proceeding, for it kept us there with nothing to do. We daren't leave the ground, as they might have ¡ come back and kicked goals. So we sat on the grass and told stories. That kind of thing has been reformed, at any rate. Another little change has been in the pro- portion of points awarded for different scores. Now a few hundreds in one season are accounted quite large, but in ye oklen days it was not uncommon to score over 100 points in one match. A score before me now shows 102 points to 9. Although they didn't score so often then, they made it up in the number of points they allowed. Just one last word, and I've done. It is about time that the question of independent umpires should be taken up-at any rate, for those matches where a great amount of keenness is shown. Many a match has been spoiled by the want of care (to give it the best term) on the part of the umpire. They get too inte- rested in the doings of their own team. The consequence is that they do not hurry when hurrying is essential to their opponents, but are in great haste when it is an advantage to their own side. There are other little points, too, which tell. These emphasised make bad blood.
IAROUND THE CLUBSI
I AROUND THE CLUBSI Of Cardiff and District! Rugby Union. I SCHOOL-BOY "RUGGER." The Rhondda Junior league I Clubs. By "Spokes."] iVhitehnrch has shown great improvement during the iwst fortnight. Their defeat by Caerphilly evidently inspired the villagers to pnll themselves together. The victory obtained over the strong Glamorgan Police team was, however, surprise. On Saturday Whitchurch gained another win by defeating the uld Honktouians by three tries to a goal Playing with the wind in the first half the Monks were aggressive, and, after severely ?te-stinq the home defence, Jward8 galloped over with a try, which Treharne converted. Changing over, Whitchurch gave the visitors much ir"!},)le. Windsor Jones scored a pair of tries in fine style, and then Tom Williams, just before time, ended the scoring by obtain- ing a very smart try. Pontyrcol found St. Alban's small fry, and had no difficulty in winning by two goals six tries to nil. The Saints were badly beaten at all points, and never gave the home team much anxiety. Barry, who figure in the first division, tried conclusions with the smart Penarth United, who are classed in the second division. The encounter took place at Barry, and, although the weather was poor, it was apparent from the big crowd present that Rugby is rapidly | re-gaining its lost ground in this Association stronghold. The match was well contested, and Barry only got "home" by a goal to i.il. Dowdeswell scored the point, and Deanes con- verted. These two players appear to have always a big hand in ail the Barry victories. As far as the Cardiff District clubs are concerned, all interest in the Weleh Union Challenge Cup Competition has evaporated. Five local clubs entered for the competition and all have had their quietus. Grange Stars defeated Dinaa Powis in the first round, only to go down before Cilfynydd in the second round, played last Saturday. The Albion boys found the Grange tea-m a smart lot, and in the first half there was no scoring. After the interval "Cil." was aided by the wind, and ran out winners by two tries to nil. Canton defeated Mountain Ash 'Rovers in the first round, but met their doom in the second on Saturday at Ystrad, when they were beaten after a hard game by Ystrad Stars by a goal and a. try to nil. Empire were beaten in the first round by Tirphil Grasshoppers, and Barry in the eame I round were snuffed out. My Sophia Gardens correspondent writes:- The league encounter between Mackintosh and Roath produced the largest attendance seen at the Gardens for many years. The match was probably the most important played for many a day by the local league clubs. Mackintosh. Roath, and Canton are all keen and close rivals for the league championship, medals, and fixture with the Cardiff Reserves. Prior to the match Mackintosh led by two points. Canton and Porth being bracketed level. A win by Roath would have, therefore, placed the three cluby- on an equal, footing; However, the Roath lads failed to conquer their redoubtable opponents, and only suc- ceeded in running them to a draw. Roath and Mackintosh, therefore, occupy relatively the same position, bat through the draw Canton is a. point closer to the leaders— Mackintosh. Keen excitement was apparent before the match among the large crowd of spectators. Roath, never backward. rose to the occasion, and sent the club-box round among the onlookers. The Macks were without Warner and Wil- liams amongst the three-quarters, yet their supporters were not backward in predicting a win. Roath were without their crack half, Murphy, ILaJlida-y, an old Staler, taking his place. Mr. J. S. Philp, the referee, gave the large crowd to understand that in case they inter- fered with the play by infringing on the field he would immediately stop the game. The game proved a very gruelling one for the scrimmagers of both teams. Back play was gTeatly at a discount owing to the over- anxiety of the players. Both packs were well ma-tched. and honours were easy. Brown and Hain led the Roath "ups" famously. The eight started with a bang, and gave Halliday several chances, but Tresize and David were ever ready to pounce upon him before he got the ball away. On resuming in the-,serond-,hltlf, the Macks were favoured by the wind, and pressed hard, but the defence was sound. Only once did the Macks break through their fine defence, trot they were pulled up by Davies, the Roath back, who stuck to the ball like "grim death," and so got penalised. Taking advantage of the "breeze," Ned Thomas sent the ball over the cross-bar with a. fine kick. After this unexpected reverse Roath brought off several fine a.ttacking movements, the chief "figures" in them being Arnott, Halliday, and Yiney, whilst every Jack forward was doing his honest share. Arnott, following up a kick, had decidedly hard lines on one ocraeion. He had practi- cally no one to beat when lie was fouled: from behind. A try should have been awarded him. The Roath forwards were not to be denied, and after several fine bursts their reward came in the last minute of the game. Following up well. ITom and Lamey managed to charge a, kick of the Macks' full back down, and, the ball rolling fast over the line, Ham just managed to fall on it and thus pull the match "out of the fire." Elliott tried hard to convert, but the angle was too diffi- cult. The whistle went immediately after. Than a very even game ended in a dfraw. Perhaps this was as just a, result as could be wished. Suffice it it to say that the game was contested in the very best of spirit, and no feeling was shown on either side. The first division of the league is still in a very interesting condition. Roath has one more match to play, Oantan two, and Mackin- tosh three. As far sm possible pointa go, Mackintosh are one point the better of Oan- ton and two points better than Roa,th. Or. to put it in another form, Mackintosh has lost five possible points, Canton six. and Roath seven. It will thus be seen that, the championship is still very open. Mackintosh, with their point lead. have yet to play three matches, and a loss of a. point will pnll them down level with Canton, provided the western team win their two remaining matches. Mackintosh, Canton, and Roath are still aspirants for the honour, and it is certain they will not cry "enough" until the final- glame is played. The second division is practically finished. Empire United have won the medals and the right of next season competing in the first division. St. Teilo's and St. Jarnw's are the top- sawyers in the third division. The Cathays men are on possible points oa; ahead of St. James's. As St. Teilo's have only two more league matches to play, while St. James's have to take part in four, it is almost certain that St. Teilo's will hold the championship at the finish. Accidents may, however, upset thisr calculation. St. Alban's Reserves are now at the top of their form, and, had they played earlier in the season as they are now doing. they would have been closer on the top than the third place they now occupy. The insurance schemes set forth in this column have brought forth a large number of letters, some of which have appeared. Lack of space prevents the use of the others. Any- way, I trust that a workable scheme will be placed before the union at the commence- ment of next season. Should Mr. Tunley like to have a "last word" on the matter, I shall be pleased to hear from him. He has been an earnest worker all through the past decade on the problem. It was with much gratification that all local enthusiasts heard that the president of the union had been requested to referee in the international match between Scotland and England a fortnight hence at Richmond. Mr. W. M. Douglas, although one of the only two Welshmen who have been honoured by hold- ing the whistle in a national matCH, is ever ready to referee in our league matches. This season be. held the whistle between Canton and Loudouns. To-day be ia selected for Roath v. MMiM. The promising new organisation known as the Splott Conservatives were greatly disap- pointed over the failure of Penarth United to keep their fixture last Saturday. It is alleged that the seasiders sent to the Splott team a notification that they could not rise a team. That hardly seems in keeping with their action in playing Barry at Barry on the same day. Dinas Powis, who started the season so bril- liantly by defeating a number of leading clubs, seem to have lost their brilliancy daring the past month. On Saturday Peny- lan ran them to a pointless draw. Penylan. this season, are, however, a smart club, and have done remarkably well in their matches. They are the only Cardiff team who succeeded in defeating Ponmewyrtd at Pontnewydd this season. Caerphilly were ever keen rivals with Mil,c,heii, and the annual matches between these clubs are quite the events of the season, rivalling even the local interest felt in the international matches. Weather never makes the slightest difference, and a good "gate" j is a certainty when these club? meet. in the match at Caerphilly early in the season the Cattle men won somewhat easily, but on Saturday, a.t Macheu, a. pointless draw was the result of a very keen and even game. The seasons honours, therefore, rest for the present with Caerphilly. A correspondent has asked me for a list of second cIa&! teams undefeated at home this season. I have not a complete list, but, speaking- from memory, I do not think the fol- lowing clubs have owned defeat at home this season :-PIl1 Harriers, Bryncethin, Cilfynydd, Caerphilly, Dinas Powis, and Ystrad Stars. St. David's has fallen on evil days. During the week several of last season's shield winners have applied for transfers to other clubs, but. as the saints are still alive and the transfer rule is at present suspended, the committee were compelled to rule their applications out of order. It is to be hoped that the saints will pull together, but, if the club were to collapse, what a rush there would be by the needy ones for the players! Whether they would secure permission to play them is, however, a moot point. Roath has had lately a series of misfortunes. First, their crack half. Murphy, got severely injured at work, then Holman got laid a8id by illness, and Jim Bat.s.tonegot crocked in last Saturday's league match. This in addi- tion to a couple of other axsoidents which laid aside a couple more players. Mackintosh, too, have had several losses lately, especially in their three-quarter line. Thomas was given them under the excep- tional clauses rule; then they applied for Gay, of Penylan, but met with a refusal. When last heard of they were endeavouring to secure the services of King, the old Cardiff reserve, who has lately played for Penylan. Whether Canton will prove formidable oppo- nents for the Macks in the first division of the league or not depends to a great extent on the league match to day between Canton and Grange Stars. Should the Grangetown men win, Canton's prospects will not be over bright. The match at the Jubilee Park, there- fore, means much to Canton and little to their visitors, who have no chance of finishing at the top. The Grange Star men have also to meet Mackintosh. The match is to be played on neutral ground, but I am informed by a cor- respondent tiiat the Stars are very keen on winning it, to wipe out a defeat they sustained up at Roath Park. Mackintosh cannot afford to lose this match if they wish to finish at the top. Grange Stars have practically the deciding of the league this season. If they defeat Mackintosh and fall before Canton, there will be much rejoicing in the West End. If the results are reversed, the Macks will do the chuckling. The Cardiff Nomads for some reason or other will not field a team to-day against Penarth Thistles at Cardiff: This was noti- Red at the last meeting of the union, and, therefore, the Thistles will get into the second round without a struggle. Llandaff Yard has accepted the vacancy in the shield competition. I hear they are a smart team, and will make their presence felt. To-day they meet Caerphilly United in the first round at the Castle town. St. David's claim against Pontnewynydd has not yet been satisfied, and the union sec- retary has been asked to endeavour to effect a settlement. If this is not come to by the next meeting I am afraid stronger measures will have to be taken. Reserve writes m follows:-The teams of the Cardiff District must be getting quite old hands at mudlarking-at leaat that was the impression which conveyed itself to my brain last Saturday as I watched the players diving through the mud and water. When St. Alban's Reserves arrived at Grangetown in order to fulfifil their league fixture with the local Star Seconds they found, as usual, that they had plenty of mud and water to contend with, and, to make matters even worse, they were kept waiting half an hour on account of the officially appointed referee not turning up. At last Mr. E. Ridd, of St. James's, was pre- vailed upon to hold the whistle, and then it was found that there was no ball available to start play, which occasioned a bit more wait- ing. But eventually the game started, and a lot of scrambling and water-dodging ensued for some time. The unfavourable conditions mentioned above, of course, prevented accurate manipu- lation of the ball by the three-quarters, and, therefore, the brunt of the work fell to the forwards. The Saints had slightly the better of the argument, and a ding-dong game ended in a win for the Saints by one goal to a try. For Grange, T. Haines, Jeremy, and Regan were the most prominent, whilst Pritchard, at full-back, did any amount of useful work. Johns, Sherwood, Millar, and Harding were the most prominent in tbp Saints' forward line, and Huntley and Williams rendered a splendid account of themselves in the third line. Both half-backs played a sound game. As St. David's disappointed Gabalfa in a league match on Saturday last, point* have been awarded the Maindy men. Unfortu- nately, Gabalfa have been very badly served this season by several "clubs failing to keep fixtures. The matches for the competitions are only a. preliminary canter to-day. Unfortunately, as the result of the draw, a couple of good clubs will in any case end their cup-hunting career in the first round. May the best teams win. Mr. W. M. Douglas haa not only had the honour of being asked to referee in the Scot- land v. England match, but he has also been asked to officiate in the great struggle between Roath and Mackintosh to-day. Of the two, the last is the more important fixture. If yoa doubt it uk the local players. Mr. Walter J. Pring, the referee in the matoh between the Villa and Penarth Thistles, had to administer a. strong warning to both sides last Saturday over their vigorous play. The caution had its effect. and the remainder of the match was contested in a much better spirit. Spokelets. I Cilfynydd's ground record is still tale. Ystrad Stars have also an unbeaten record in home matches. Interest is keener than ever in the local cup competition. Swansea Reserves are still unbeaten. Last Saturday they won by 36 points to nil. Brid.gend secured their second win on Satur- day. They fully deserved their victory over Ponty- pridd. Merthyr Alex drew with Cynon Stars in the second round of the W.F.U. cap last Saturday. Cilfynydd, Ystrad Stara, and Cynon Stars all fancy their chances for the cup. Bryncethin still going strong: only two defeats this Beason. Sid Rees, who assisted Cardiff v. Gloucester last Saturday, is an old Roath player. He wants a little more spead practice. Otherwise he is a sound if not over brilliant player. Pill Reserves have lost their chance in the Newport District League. Cross Keys are likely to be the league cham- pions. Up to date they have only lost one match. Troedyrhiw has gone under to Cilfynydd j three times this season. Ilees and Seymour are a fine pair of halves. Williams. the Dinas Powis half, has the ¡ making of a class player. He works the scrum. Only two tries have been scored against Dinas Powis at home this season. Hathaway, the Gilfach Goch full hack, recently scored a try. The Machen Juniors are defunct. E. Morgan, the vice-captain of Swansea Beserves, has only played for his team once this season. He has been. however, almost a permanency in the premier fifteen. Tom Williams has resigned the secretary- ship of Ystrad Stars. Myrddin Thomas, who has filled the position before, is the new club scribe. Blaenavon are likely to be members of the Monmouthshire League next season. Cardiff Reserves have something to rub off the slate with Pontypool to-day. Seven clubs have entered for the Caerphilly junior competition. As a result of the recent charity match at Whitchurch, the Dai Evans' fund will benefit by almost 4;10. Vbtnr Vsifl West End plrny Bryamairr White Stars in the Brynmawr medal competition to-day. The contest between the Penarth Thistles and Cardiff Villa- proved an exciting affair on the Sophia Gardens. Both teams were keen on getting the two points in the third divi- sion league table. The Thistles. who were beaten by St. Alban's Reserves the previous Saturday by a dropped goal, were again unluckily defeated by a single score. This time the Villa did the trick by t try to nil. The play was chiefly confined to the forwards. where the Villa. bad a slight pull, but the Penarth backs were superior. They missed serveral fine chances, whilst the Villa availed themselves of their only real chance. C. Moore, in the second half, reoeiving near the Thistles' line. after a fine forward ruqb, made a great effort to get over. and just succeeded, to the intense delight of the Cardiff supporters. Usher, who did several smart things, failed with the kick. The meeting of the Romilly and Loudouns at, the Sophia Gardens waa overshadowed in point of interest by the Roath Y. Ma-ekintosh game. The play throughout was of a scram- bling order. The Decks' team surprised their few ardent eupportere present by their plucky defence, and a draw would have more correctly repre- sented the play. Ae it was, the Romilly managed to win in the last few seconds of the game. After a series of attacks, Webber managed to cross with a try. The Loudocns retired with a try defeat. An old face reappeared in the person of Mr. C. R. Orawley at the Sophia Gardens last Saturday. The Mackintosh and Roath game was a great attraction for several of the local football "nobility," and the above-mentioned was one among many. Amongst the refs present one saw Mr. Gus Hayes in all his glory. The following has reached me from the Tir- fphil Club regarding "Empire's" version of the ground, referee, &c. Dear SpokeS,I see in your last week's notes that the Empire United are making excuses for their defeat at Tirphil. Their first grumble is about the field, which they put down as being impossible to describe. We are willing to admit that the field was bad. but they had the option of playing on a better one if they would only walk a short way out of the town, which they refused to do. Their second grumble is about the referee (Mr. Mat Price, who plays for Tredegar). I am sure Mr. Price was very impartial in his refereeing, and, if anything, favoured the Empire. He penalised the Tirphil forwards four times in the first half when they were playing against the wind. And again it was Mr. Hines, the Empire captain, who suggested that it should stand as a cup-tie, our captain having asked Mr. Price to act referee on the understanding that it was to be a friendly match.—I am, yours, W. J. LEWIS (Secretary Tirphil F.C.). The Empire are at liberty to give their ver- sion. ("Spokes.") Last week. in answer to several club secre- taries, I stated that the union would at their weekly meeting decide finally whether a com- petition for the Cardiff Football Cap, open to lads, could be held or not this season. The matter hinged entirely upon the Car- diff Football Club Committee regarding their willingness or otherwise to provide the medals. The union had made previous applications to the club, but met wit-h refusals. At the desire of some members of the Cardiff club and Mr. W. M. Douglas, the union decided to make another formal application, and requested me to communicate with the club on the matter. This was done, but, unfortunately, through a pure accident, the letter was not placed before the last meeting, of the Cardiff committee by Mr. Arthur. The union, finding that nothing definite had been done, reluctantly dropped all idea of holding such a competition ths season. -They were compelled: to do this, owing to the short time at their disposal before the "close" time arrives. As the union has come to the decision named, I hope that the Cardiff club will take the matter up and endeavour themselves to run a itnior competition this season for their cup. It, is hard lines that the lads should be done out of a competition. I have had quite a number of letters on the matter. Mr. Mahoney, the erstwhile hon. secretary of the Hibernia Sports, and a mem- ber of the Cardiff club, communicated with me and generously offered to defray part of the cost of the medals. Other members of the club have followed his example, and I have before me as I write, offers of a substantial sum. Itowever, the union has decided, and the competition will not be held. Many I thanks to the Cardiff club members for their kind offers of assistance.
THE SCHOOLS' RUGBY LEAGUE…
THE SCHOOLS' RUGBY LEAGUE The two trial matches at the Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday, when some sixty boys exhibited their prowess with the oval, showed conclusively that the game has already got a firm foothold with the, youngsters. It was predicted when the union started that the boys would never take to Rugby. Satur- day's games showed the fallacy of the state- ment Although the game was only started late in the season at Cardiff, after witnessing earlier in thE: season the Swansea lads playing I have very sanguine hopes that in the coming match the Cardiff boys will he the victors. I must congratulate the match committee of the union on the excellent way they did their work..For the final trial it was neces- sary to select thirty players from the sixty. This was done by choosing the boys solely on their form in last Saturday's trials. The committee in a most impartial way selected a couple of teams, and, although their work was difficult, they succeeded in spotting tho most likely players. No doubt, a mistake or two have been made, but that was unavoidable under the circum- stances To-day's trial is the final test. I have no fear but that the committee will succeed in selecting a really representative fifteen from the players taking part to play against Swansea. One of the items on the agenda of the meet- ing of the Cardiff Schools Union, held last evening, was as follows The custom of certain boys wear- ing football boots, &c.. about the streets." The football outfits were given by the Cardiff Football Club on the distinct understanding that when not in use they were to be kept in the schools. I would suggest that the Cardiff Club should refuse to admat any boy to their matches with a school ticket if he is attired in football gart). The union are evidently determined to honourably fulfil the promises made to the Cardiff Football Club. Which is the -best full-hack in the schools? Ncrthmore, of St. Mary's, and Moore, of Roath Park, have majiy supporters for the honour. Both are reliable custodians, but I have a great opinion of Chapman, of Court-road. In my estimation he is the soundest player in the position aanong the lads. FootbaJI poaching is not oonAned to the Northern Union, it seems. It is asserted-that a local boy showing much scoring ability was induced to change his school, and, of course, team, for a bribe of sixpence. The "tanner" was provided by the poacher, who were, it is stated, membera of the team to which he trans- ferred his affections. The Schools Union, I hear, have the matter in hand. If the facts are correct—they are supplied to me on excel- lent authority—visions of the lad and the "poachers" being declared professionals loom before one's eyes. It is rather surprising to notice that neither St. David's nor St. Peter's have a single repre- sentative "In either quartette to-day. Those two clubs have the best three-quarters in the district. Perhaps, however, the age limit interferes with their selection. Baldwin, of St. John's, is a reserve half for to-day's trial. He has been showing fine form lately, and is certainly equal if not superior to some of those selected. Jeffries, of St. Monica's, Davies, of Wood- street, Coakley, of St. David's, Mitanchet, of Metal-street, Burgess, of Roath Park, and Symonds, of Mount Stuart-square, are the best half-dozen forwards in the district. In view of the coming match between the Cardiff and Swansea school teams, the meet- ing between the Llanelly and Swansea. schools last Saturday was locally invested with much interest. Stradev Park was the venue for this the second encounter of the season. Swansea at home earlier in the seasou won by three tries to a goal. Llanelly on the present occasion proved themselves much the smarter team outside the scrimmage. Lewis scored a couple tinted by the Proprietors. Western Mall limited, and ptiblished by them at their offices, St. Mary-etreet Cardiff; Castie Bailey-streiet, Swansea; Victoria-street, Merthyr Tydfil; at the shop of Mr. Wesley Wiltiums, Bridgend-&il in the County of QIamersan; at theii oSicef, 22, Hish-street, Newport; at the sfccp of Mr. J. P. Caffrey, Monmouth-both in the County of Mon- mouth; at the shop of Mr. David John, Lianeily, ia the Cointy ot Carmarthen: and at their officac, Tka Brecon, ia the County of BrcskMMfe, 8ATUROAT, MARCH 7, 1903. of tries soon after the start, and Hopkins with a fine run got over just before half-time. Mills converted Hopkins's try. Mills opened the scoring with a really good try in the second half. Swansea, were far slower than their rivals, and Edwards and Mil!s added additional tries before "time." A forward rush by the all whites ended in a try which was converted a few seconds before the end. Llanelly thus won easily by one goal live tries to one goal. Schoolboy football is in full swing in the Pontypridd district, thanks to the exertions of Messrs. Evan John, A. AVilliams (the Penygraig player), A. Thomas, and W. Todd. The lads are looking forward with great interest to the two matches with the Cardiff lads. Although most of the Pontypridd schools have a Rugby team, a league haa not yet been formed. It is probable, however, that a dis- trict league will be in existence at the com- mcncement of next season. iie Pontypridd Football Club deserve praise for their efforts to help forward the game among the lads. As their financial position does not allow them to make cash grants to the schools, they are assisting by lending their ground for school matches. The following letter dea!s with the proposed match between an English team and a fifteen representative of Wales. "Dear Spok"We are all agreed that a match betwoen the boys of England and Wales should be played next season, bnt with the present anxiety over inter-town matches I am afraid that the question may be put on one side until too late. The Cardiff Football Club are arranging their fixtures for next season, but I understand that at present they have not arranged a match for the second Saturday in March, 1904—the day that Wales is playing Ireland away. If immediate appli- cation were made to the club, possibly they would readily grant the use of their ground j for that da. May I a4eo suggest that Mr. Swash or Mr. Brown should at once communi cate with the Swansea. Llanelly, and Ponty- pridd School Unions on the suggested match. I feel certain that the officials of those bodies will readily support the idea. Then, as far as England is concerned, I understand Mr. J. C. Cooper has had much to do with the forma- tion of school leagues at Leicester, Bristol, Coventry, and Northampton. If he found any difficulty in getting at the few other unions in existence probably for the first year fifteen lads could be selected from those towns, and the team styled 'An English Team v. Wales.' I think the first match should take place at Cardiff solely for financial reasons. In the Welsh Metropolis a ibg gate' would be a certainty, and I may say that I have the pro- mise of a prominent Rugby man, who has read the scheme outlined in the Express' to guarantee E20 against loss. There are others who would probably do the same, and I am sure the Cardiff Football Club would lend a helping-hand. As the matter is urgent, if the match is to be played next season, I once again express the hope that the Cardiff School Union will deal with it immediately. By the way, the whole credit of the sugges- tion belongs to the 'Express,' who mooted the idea in the first instance, and has kept hammering away at it ever since. I state this because recently in a London journal I read the remarkis of a sporting writer who had coolly annexed your suggestion as his original property, and proposed that the English lads should play Wales and the other countries.—Yours, etc., MEMBER OF THE CARDIFF SCHOOLS, I RUGBY UNION." "Dear 'Spokes,'—In answer to your corres- pondent re McCarthy's age, he wae fourteen on the 18th of August at 9.45 p.m. This, I believe makes him thirteen days, two hours, and fifteen minutes over age. This may be a I few seconds out. but as no official time was taken at his birth, the above is near the mark. He is one of the unlucky thirteen, It J seems. If this is not accurate enough, a, few ) shillings at the registrar's will give your cor- respondent the desired result. Perhaps by seeing this, the school league may select him I' to partner his clubmate in the next trial.- Yours, MAC." FIRST DIVISION. I Results of last Saturday's matches:—Eoath one tjv.

SCHOOLS LEAGUE CHAT.I
SCHOOLS LEAGUE CHAT. I The Cardiff boys gave a much better display at the Intermediate playfield last Saturday than on the day of the previous encounter at Barry. The crowd who paid for admission had full recompense for their money, and went away perfectly satisfied and highly elated with the opinion that the Association code among school boys is in a prosperous and efficient state. Severn-road were not represented in the league team last Saturday for the first time during a number of years. A few seasons back it was considered bad judgment if Canton did not contribute the majority of boys for the Cardiff team. A prominent feature of the game was the cleverness of the two wings, Charles Thomas, of Lansdowne, and Giddings, of Grange. Both are as faet ae a pair of hares, and the clever- ness they exhibited is remarkable. The state of the league ladder just now is very interesting. Splott's position at the head of affairs is by no means secure, inas- much as Radnor, who are only a point below, have a reputation of achieving all manner of things at the end of the season. Of course, Splott may yet retain their lend, but they will have to be extremely careful to do so. King may be depended upon to keep his men together, for he knows that the least slip will spell disaster, and probably rob them of the trophy. Although Moorland have been kicked" three times since they occupied the top rung, they are not done with yet, as we will see later on. Those who know the interest which is taken in th-3 Moorland-road boys by their teachers and the cleverness of the lads them- selves are quietly abiding their time whilst events take their course. Severn-road and Higher Grade are a little too far off to cause surprises. As a rule, about tlil-3 time of the year they generally have the course clear to themselves.

CARDIFF 1 1  -U. b-h-.¿s.m-: _WfA (EXTREME WEAKNESS & FAiNTIWGl j A WELL-KNOWN TONYPANDY LADY I CURED BY DR. SLATER'S BLOOD TABLETS. B Immediately to the right of the Town-hall, in De Winton-street, Tony- B pandy, are the well-appointed dining-rooms of Mrs. Martha Lavimrton, whose recovery caused so much talk in the Rhondda Valley recently. It is worth re-calling that Mrs. Lavington is the daughter of a lady who was known M the oldest nurse in Pontypridd, while her husband is local secretary of the South Wales Miners' Federation (Llwynypia Branch). m "I first became ill two and a half years ago," said Mrs. Lavington to a Pontypridd M reporter, "when a rash appeared on my faco. my skin began to peel off, and I had bleed- n ing at the nose. Afterwards I was constantly sick, couldn't take my food, and was sub- H ject to fits of fainting. JTow and ag-ain I felt too weak to walk, or, if I did try, I very soon got out of breath. My heart palpitated violently, and it seemed as if there was a M great weight on my chest. One day I intended going to Cardiff; but on the way to the Bt station I wa.s fainting, and couldn't breathe. My heart seemed to stop, and I told my g husband I felt as if I was going to die. It's the greatest wonder,' said he, upon jt our return, that I've got the missis back, for I thought she would die.' After that ft I was not able to do a thing about the B house, let alone see to the travellers and j i Bs customers who came to my shop. I grew /S « M weaker, and swelled all over until I looked B like a dropsical old woman who could TTT ^wl^XBr JyLICfo. N hardly get through her own house-door. N My feet were too big to allow of my shoes t I being fastened, and I had to lie on the | 1 p *— ? sofa all day in old clothes made to fit. My ? ?' t?*' ??''?S  H?t ??? a plight waa miserable.

Then a little book come to the  ??* y  f — ? door telling of the remarkable power of Dr. v ???'?  v$5 *?? ~— Ct Slater's Blood Tablets, and a lady herself 5 m came and told me what they had done for — M her, I decided that the Tablets were a medi- _S/ 11 —— j)j cine I could have faith in; so sent for a box at once. As I persevered with the course I M found that they put new strength in my limbs and renewed vigour in my body. mj "The swelling also went down, so that now I measure 7in. less in the waist and 13in. less round the chest than I did then. In fact, my figure gradually resumed its H present normal shape. I now take my food better, and can fancy lota of dainty things jt which I dared not touch before. I have got rid of the oppression about the heart, and no longer feel nervous or faint. I am also able to secure sound, refreshing sleep, jt which before I didn't have sometimes for a week at a stretch. Now I am attending M to the shop, and a traveller who came in only the other day was surprised to see me B alive and well. He asked me how it was, for he had heard such alarming reports, tt and I said Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets were alone responsible for my wonderful cure. tg He said he couldn't have believed it if I hadn't told him myself. I have never felt M better than I have done these last few weeks, and I attribute everything to Dr. B Slater's Blood Tablets." Mrs. Lavington showed the reporter four of her photos, taken at various stages of her illness, to show the cruel nature of the swelling. They fully confirmed her story, which might otherwise have been hard to credit. Dr. Slater's Blood Making Tablets attack the root of debility by nourishing the tissues and nerves with newly-created rich, red blood. They have been found un- equalled in cases of anaemia, poor blood, pale and sallow complexions, all female troubles, headache, loss of appetite, indigestion, palpitation, weak heart, fainting, pains in the chest, back pains, lumbago, sciatica-, neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, paraly- sis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitna' dance, spinal weakness, swollen limbs, wasting, the early stages of consumption, pimples, face sores, skin eruptions, and all spring blood impurities.
