I For thooo who get a surfeit of apple i pies, apple dumplings, and apple pud- dings during an English winter, the fol- lovving apple recipes from other countries may be a boon. This is a Florentine dish: Take a pound of small apples, peel them, and very carefully core them. Then Wi-W until tender, in a pint of water I- sweetened with honey jrugar. fjinc a dish with puii' pastry, arrange the applos in this with marmalade in each, and bits of chopped citron strewn over them.

Dutch lie.-ilare and chop two pounds of apples, fry in margarine, then beat until soft with two tablespoonfuls of jam—apricot Or plum. Cream together a -.i ounce of butter or margarine with the yokes of two eggs, two ounces of bread- crumbs, half a teaspoon of vanilla, and ounces of sugar.

I POINTS DIVIDED. Swans Draw With Merthyr. (By ".CYGNET.") I Merthyr Town 1, Swansea Town 1. Fickle fortune has so often deserted the I Swans that one has become accustomed I to accept anything, any turn of Fate wit.h J almost perfect equanimity. The smiles of I the gods on Monday were without excep- tion showered on Merthyr, and while the Swans were clearly the better team, yet in the last ten minutes they had to fight hard and defend grimly to avert defeat. In these sternly contested rearguard I action towards the end of the game every player on the visiting side worked like a trojan. On each of three occasions the pressure was relieved by a brilliant break- away by Evan Jones who, had he been better supported, would certainly have manoeuvred to beat the home defence at the crucial moment. But lack of support saw each movement come to grief. I MERTHYFTS ONE SUPERIORITY. I The home side were superior in one re- spect only. numerically. For more than half the game Swansea Town played but ten men. Tich Evans's train was late, and as a rosult only ten of the Swans Selded, but fire minutes after the kick-off Hewitt came on to part- ner Evan Jones on the left flank. Ten minutes from the interval Denoon was badly kicked by one of the Merthyr forwards when on the ground, and as a ffcsa had to go off with one of the fingers of his left hand broken. The referee should have given a free kick against the homesters here, but instead he awarded them a goal. After this Collins went between the sticks and Hewitt crossed over to right half, the Swans as a result having: to plav four forwards for the remainder of the game. Yet despite this fact they continue to l have much the better of the argument, .hd one felt tliat the presence of the il ? o n e clerenth man wotild indubitably have .:I a,i a very deciding influence OJ) the I crame I THE OUTSTANDING PLATbit. I At the commencement, bwftnsea Town were overplayed, for just about nve min- ofteg But once they settled ddtwn to business, their superiority was tinmis- takeable, although the decree of differ- ence was not so great in all departments. A fast, nippy lot of youngsters, the homesters pitted their speed and dash against the more brainy, if more pon- derous, play. of the visitors. But here, and only here, thp luck favoured the Swans, for the goiiur was heavy. Evan Jones (so the writer has al- ways been told) can always be depended upon to giva ? really good display when the climatic conditions are eucb as they were, on Monday. To 'term his perform- ance as a really gbod display would be very faint praise indeed tot what was a' positively brilliant exhibition of artistry and wizardry. For Swarispa's solitary score the credit must go to the ex-Bolton Wanderer. Had he been better supported at a later period Swansea Town would have been able to bag the brace of points. It was the old Evan Jones we saw on Monday; the roally classy player who developed danger quickly, who was always ready and waiting when his col- leagues had the ball, who, apparently without strain, revelled in work. If he always showed that form he would &k>n I rehabilitate himself in public favour OTHER PLAYERSw I t Jack Nicholas and Robson wero well- nigh faultless. It is only fair to llobson to state that his poor play on Saturday I against Newport County was due to the fact that in the first few minutes, of the game he sustained a nasty kick, wbieh I would have incapacitated a less sturdy ) player for the rest of thè game. Brown, j although reliable, has played better I games, and much the same can be said I of Ogtey, who had rather a rough time of I it generally. Sheldon gave an improved display" and next to Jones was the best of the forwards. Harris and Ball have I both played to better advantage, although neither could be said to be weak. FINE FORWARDS. I I Promising Talent in the I Seconds. I fty «• SENTINfiL." I Wheft Newport II, arrived at St. Helena on Saturday, the Swansea officials were in an awkward predicament as several of the selected forwards had failed to put in an appearance. In fact the game was commenced with only seven forwards in the home pack. One would think from such an incident that there was a scarcity of good forwards in the district, or that local players do not care to play Wit,.b"tho Second XV. At any rate Swansea had to fall back on several players who hav" given excellent service in the past. New- port n. wmad likely to haven easy journey, as the forwards were big and active looking, but the game had hot been in progress many minutes before 'he home pack took control of the scrutno Time after time the ball was heeled cleanly and was sent to the threo-qnartfcr? who should have put the result of the gaIn? ont of doubt within the first 20 minutes. FREQUENT KNOCKS-ON. The handling however, was by no means good, and frequent ltfiocks-on spoiled what should have been a fine Exhibition. The centres were the chief delinquents, W. Griffiths especially failing to accept or SivR his passes with anything like pre- cision. Griffiths is keen and fast, but he is too impetuous, and his manner of snatching at the hall when attempting to take if from his partners causes infringe. ments which cannot possibly escape the eyes of the referee. Whitmore his part- tier in the centre handled very well, but is stMv. He retains the fault of his schooldays, and if he intends making pro- gress he will ható pay attention to his pace, atrd Tmt, en ptinips" fr&juolatly. FORWARDS 00 WELL. The Swansea forwards played a great game, and were masters of the tJsk- siders both in the tight sqjldshes and in the open. Marsden Jones. has corcti on a lot since the opening game, and if the pro- gress is maintained, will, certainly, qualify for a ptnee in the premiers. Parker, D. John. and Alf, John were also i in fine form, and there could not have been n single shirker in the pack, as they out-manoeuvred the visitors throughout the game. Not only did they us-e their feet well in the open, but their following up and tackling \tas an object lesson to the premiers. There was no mistake— • ii.'tn and ball uunolùthe grouricl toget. her. PROMISING SCRUM-WORKER. With the pack in such good form, D. J. Bennett had plenty of chances to exhibit the skill with which he has been ac- credited by the League officials. He played outside to Rapsey and was one of the; best I have seen this season. His pasees were well timed and properly given, and I think the Swansea Committee will do well to keep watch on him. As he becomes more acquainted with the players I do not think the Swansea Com- mittee will need to, go "poaching" on other warns' "preserves" as they have been doing lately. The pick of the three- quarters was Lenahan, another product of the Bayciffe Club. He operated on the tcft wing and showed Cnc speed and de- termination. lie was not given the ball as ofteji as the crowd would have liked, but what he did convinced many that he has more football in him than several players who have been selected for the premiers Swansea custodian was in excellent fettle, and W. Rfws is Vkefv to prove ex- tremely useful to the All Whitfes. He is big\and fast and possesses a fine kick. while he "is brimful of pluck, and on Saturday never hesitated in going down to the ball when the Newport front rank got it tilt their 'feet in a rush. The .Seer>nd< 'have but to remedy the fault at the centre, and they will have a side v.'hir.ii will take lot of beacons?. USKSIDERS BEATEN IN FRONT. The Ueksiders were disappointing. The pack was led by George Boots, but al- though they po.sse-ied plenty of weight they failed badly The half-backs had little chance, altd when the ball did come out on the Newport side Bennett gave Groves little chance to get the ball away. Francis r nd Vaughan put in a large amount of tackling while in the aggressive movements they were easily the most prominent. Wetter although he did not lot hi side down suffered in comparison with W. Rees. On Satur- day, I referred to the timely help given by Councillor Alby Ball, who filled up a vacancy in the Swansea pack.—and mentioned that he waii out of training. lIe d d niy. show this during the game, and I afterwards ascertained that "Alby" is freguently out training during the week, whrch accounts for the way he kept pace with the younger members of rhe s de. The success of the All Whites Second string Was well-deserved, and a five point w n did not give a sufficient indication of thei superiority.. ÐAYCll FFE'S LUCK TURNS. Baycliffe's luck turned on Saturday last after a series of unfortunate (and on the whole undeserved) losses. Their op- ponents were the redoubtable VVannar- Iwydd team, who were so blase about Baycliffe's form after the last game, seeing they had heard so much about the I Swansea team's reputation! On tbat oc- casion Waunarlwydd won a hard game by 11 points, not a startling victory, con- sidering their opponents had been disor- ganised by losing some of their best men. It .is a somewhat singular and ominous fact that for the first time this season Dayclifie fielded a team as picked, and for a wonder no depredations were made into the side by the Swansea cltlb. Con- sequently there was no re-shuffing- and* de- lay. The result speaks for itselfi j, I VIGOROUS PLAY. -1 it uliy 700 spectators must have watched the mleh oa the Recreation Ground on Saturday, even though the kick-off was as late as four o'clock. Waunarlwydd ad- opted Vigorous methods straightaway, and in the first few minutes Dai Harry, the inside half, got away on the blind tide of the scrum and caught the Day',¡.o defence napping. The remainder of the first half was fairly evenl ycon tested. Upon the change of ends, however, the homo pack comuiencpd to assert them- selves. and they beat the Waun forwards at their own particular game. Frank Sullivan, Gil Evans and Owen crossed the visitors' line, and one try came princi- pally through Bladen, the new Baycliffe wing, who is shaping admirably Strangely enough none of the tries were convorted although the positions were fairly easy. Foremost amongst the Bay's forwards were Reggie Webber (whois as good a forward as his brother), Lawrence Smith (who made a welcome re-appear- ance). and Hnnt. Frank Sullivan, the inside half, played a rattling game, and was more than a match for his vis-a-vis Mason, Gil Evans and Bladen alfto did excellently among the backs, buf May- berry was disappointing as custodian, Billy Roberts having to relieve him in that capacity. THE HOLLINGDALE BROTHERS. I Waunarlwydd's forwards were out-I classed, but the rMHn?dale brothers I were hard workers. Cliff Jones at outside half kicked too much, but the full back was sound. The Baycliffe side demons strafed that. given a chance to organise and spared thfc constant demands of the Swansea premiers" upon their heet men, they can compare favourably witn any side in the League. I RECORD RETAINED. I I The Lkitelly seconds were on the whole fortunate IIJ returning from Am- manford on Saturday afternoon in safe possession of their unbeaten record. A keen vigorous game ended in a draw of three points ea-ch. Ammanford wdre much the lighter side. and it is wonder- ful that the forwards, although seriously ¡ overweighted, should have kept the upper ¡ htnd in the scrummages t;ll the fin 1 whistle In etafnina, as in bustle and I I concerted dribbling, they proved them- selves a paelc of merit, with a fine con- ception of play, and the palm goes to I them easilv. Llanely did nearly all their pressing in the first half when Morgans at centre, packed np in the loose and sent over I Jone-i a Penclawdd player who was triod in the centre position, with an eauy try which IBlwyn Evans failed to convert A DISAPPOINTMENT. I Then a bitter disappointment came Ammanford's way A- bunch of forwards came up the finld with the ball at their feet, and by clever dribbling, beat the soar lets, one after anothe* but, in their eagerness one of them kicked too hard. and the ball had rolled out of bounds yard 01 so, tfhen the lot of them fell on H. They, however persevered in their attacks on the change over, and it was I then that the Iianelly defe-ice was sev- j erely tested by combined movements j amoilg the backs. It fell to the lot of I Trevor Williams, a prC-^ar player, to send over a fine oenalty goal from just over the 25 line, ftffd this put a lot of spirit, into the horde team, who kept o' pressing till the ei d. ) There is no gainsaying the fact. thaf I the scarlet second team are a power which must be reckoned with ib second- class football. The display of their backs I was, however, disappointing. They were bet served on hoth wings, and Glan Thomas gave" Ahhctt Griffiths a lot of trouble at the baae of the scruni. %V. I Griffiths, the Ammanford custodian, 1 played a great game, bringing off tremrD. I t dous tackles, and getting in his kick I when hemmed in I FOUR FOR GLYN THOMAS. "I' On Glanmor Grounds on Saturday I'antygwydr Junior football team enter- tained Rhyddings United, and alter a t very spirited, clean and sporting game the visitors proved victorious by four i goals to one. Glyn Thomas, of the I United, scored all goals, one from a penalty. I I A GOAL APIECE. J Teams representing N.O.R. and Am- manford met on the N. O. R. ground on Saturday in a League match. It was a keen and interesting game throughout. During the first five minutes, T. Twist, captain of Ammanford, dribbled from midway and shot a goal. Thus in first half Ammanford led. On resuming after the interval, the N.O.R. asserted themselves and kept the visitors in the goalmouth, in spite of many unsuccess- ful attempts made to assume the aggres- sive. Cutlip, the Ammanford goalie, particularly distinguished himself. ?inaUy the N.O.R. got one home, thus bringing the play to a drawn game—th<? score hemg one goal each. Referee; Mr D. Jones, Morriston. GENDROS BEATEN. j Gendros visited the Rectory ground I on Saturdav with* a rather depleted side Though assisted by W. H. Davies, of Caerleon College, Loughor were also minus a few regular players. Half-time arrived with no score. Though facing both wind and slope, Loughor went off witn a bang, and play settled down in the visitors' twenty-five. Receiving from Rowe Harding, Fl1i John went over in moet approved fashion. The kick at goal failed. Five minutes later Will ^lovgan made an excellent ash for the line, and evading a few would-be tacklers, scored a great try, which was uot improved upon. The end came with no further scoring. ——n YESTERDAY'S FOOTBALL RESULTS. Southern League.—Division I. Merthyr Town 1; Swansea Town 1. Friendly. Mid-Rhondda 2; Coventry 0.

TALE OP "SAM EVANS., I I heard from an eminent counsel today (says the London correspondent of the Western Mail ") a touching and typical story of the thoroughgoing methods of the late President of the Divorce Court. Sir Samuel Evans—or Sam, as Le i- better known-knew that he would not survive the operation which teriiiinitte-i his life. He was engaged in au important case, which promised to end at the luncheon interval. Before resuming the hearing he sent for the Solicitor-Qtnerah who was engaged in the case* and told him very frankly that he wa# »iu«nJ he would not be able to sit -on the belc i, much longer. I am in great pain," h. said, and I shall have to go away. Why not go away now," said tUt Solicitor-General, and postpone the hearing?" No," said Sam, 1 always make up my mind to finish what 1 besfin, and whatever it costs 1 will tinish tut case. What I want you to do in in- terval is to say that it will be impossible to finish-the next case by the end oftlic sitting, and 1 shall thereupon adjourn the court." And so it came to pass. When the part-heard case was finished the judge said to the Solicitor-General, What is your next case, Mr. Solicitor-General—is there any prospect of it finishing to-day No, my lord," said the Solicitor- General; it is very complicated, and will last one or two days." In that case," said the judge, 1 shall adjourn llie court until to-morrow," and. slowly getting up from his steat, he painfully moved away from the court which had I been the scene of so many of his duties, and which he was never to see again.

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD "CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS is IF TONGUE I IS COATED. If cross, feverish, sick, bilious, I clean little liver and bowels. Children love this" fruit laxåtiv," and nothing else cleanses the ender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely. A child simply will not stop ibiyiig to empty the bowels, and the resnlt is that they become clogged with waste, the liver becomes sluggish, the stomach is disordered, and then your little one becomes cross, feverish, and does not eat, sleep or behave naturally. Often the breath is bad, and system stuffy with a cold; the child has sore throat, stomach- ache or diarrhcea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue is coated, then give a teaspoon. ful of California Syrup of Figs," and hi a few hours all the constipated waste matter, sonr bile and undigested food pass out of the system, and you have a healthy, playful child again. Millions of mothers give California Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fhils to act on the stomach, liver and bowels. Ask your chemist for a bottle of California Syrup of Figs," which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for growh-ups plainly printod on the bottle.
