was thought that the P.S..A. would at least draw but St. James’s obtained both iioints, at the cost, however, of considerable impleasant- ness. Alount Zion did well at Low Aloor to keep the margin down to two goals whilst Clitheroe AYesley gave a very creditable dis­ play at Barrow. Aloor Lane .succeeded in heating an improved Chathurn Wesley eleven :ind St. Alary’s had no diiiiculty in beating the Coiigregationalists, who had a side eoii- siderahly weaker tlian usual.

weather was very wild, but this did not deter a good gathering of spectators botli Irom. Clitlieroe juid J5arruw. Barrow won the toss and elected to play with the assistance of the wind. Krom the very cominencenient of the game .hoih sidtii played very well indeed and some very gtxid football was wiliie.s.sed. 'llie forwards of both teams were swinging the ball about and showing some very good combina­ tion. After about ten minutes’ play Barrow scored llieir first goal—a very tame affair wliich should never iiave l)een a goal at all. Ashcroft at outside left was the man to score, but the goaler liad heaps ^_time to gel to the ball before Aslicroft. He hesitated and was lost. Some very tine mid-field play was now witnessed, both forward lines striving to get going and both lialt-back lines working strenu- ouslv to stop tiiem. Barrow now made a dasli for \lie Wesleyans’ goal and one of the de­ fenders iiad tlie mortification of kicking ilirougU liis own goal, the ball seemed to bo going well off side and completely deceived the goaler wlio watched it roll througli the goal. Hard luck. Wesleyans! 'Ihe rain was now coming down in torrents but the players and spectators .stuck it gallantly. .Tke A\es- Joyans made a lew well organised raids on the Barrow goal and Nutter wa>s called upon to save., winch he did in his usual clever manner, P. Trimby, tlio Wesleyan inside leit, was play­ ing a. very line game and the Harrow lia.lves had their work cufr out to watch him. H. Goodman at outside riglit, was playing nice iootball and ho placed a lew centres which ought to have been used to better advantage, from a .--crimmage in front of tlie Weslcyari goal W. Wilson tried a pot shot winch would liave iiad the goaler guessing liad it not Louciied one of tiie defenders and gone lor a corner.Tile corner wtis well put in by Goodman but tlie Clitlieroe backs cleared well aiid eased the siuiaiion. Without furiher scoring Imll- ume was signalled. Barrow Lnited, 2 : Clit­ heroe Wesleyans, 0. i t was .still raining heavily wlieii tlie teams lined up for tlie second half. There wjis very little to clmse up to now and both sido.-> were working at lull pressure to gam an advantage over tlieir op- poneni.s. Sliortly after tlie resumption ol play the We.sleyaiis made a determined riiT'h down to the Barrow goal and Trimby scored a lovely goal which did not give the Bairow goaler an earthly cliance ol stopping it. Tlii> .seemed to liven hotli teams up a bit and the spt'c-lators were treated ^ some good iootball both offensive and deleiisive. the hacks ol both teams being very hard to beat. Altiy some verv fine play in inid-ticld the Jhirrow loiwaid line got moving again and hy very good com- hiiuition thev worked tlie ball up the held.

r-OW AlOOR, 2: AIOUNT ZION, 0. Blayed at Low Aloor, referee Air. 'T. Keys.


J . Parkinson and P. Bolton, of Low Aloor, being on tlio injured list, their places were taken by G. Hargreaves and E. Bolton, and the teams turned out as follows;—■ Low Aloor.—Hudson, Hayliurst, Hamilton,


Wrigley, Robimson, G. Saul, B. Saul, Jones, Didsbury, Hargreaves, E. Bolton. ALouut Ziou.—Wiiikley, Alillman, Scholiold,


Preston, Slater, Scott, Wilkinson, Haiumoiid, J . Scott, J . Page, Pym. Low Aloor won the toss and played witli the


wind in their favour. The visitors were soon forced to act on the defensive, hut the home team’s shooting was very poor. After 20 minutes’ play ,loiies opened tlie scoring for them, giving the visitors' goalkeeper no chance with his shot. Eiid-to-eiid play fol­ lowed hut Hudson in goal liad very little to do the lirst half. J.ow Aloor pre.ssed again but could not get the ball through,


.lust he-


foro thoTiiterval Hudson made an excellent save and cleared well, the score at half-time being : J.oiv Aloor. 1; Alount Zion. 0. On the restart, the visitors went down hut found the defeuco of Low Aloor safe, Hudson had not a shot to stop ill tlie second half, hut the same complaiut with the homesters is found, wretched shooting by the forwards spoiling good efforts. After the game Iiad been in progress half-aii-liotir the second half l.ow Aloor registereil their second goal, Didsbury .scoring. They continued to press hut could not increase their score. ];0W Aloor are out of it just at present with


their shooting, this lining tlie secuiiil week in which their shooting has been wrelolied. On Saturday they had three parts of the ga.mo but could only register two goals. This will have to he improved upon or Low Aloor are likel.v for bi'ing taken clown by the stronger teams in the League. The referee kept the game well in liaud.


ST AlARY’S, 7 ; CONGRKGATIOXALISTS, 0. Tilts oucouiuer was to some extent spoiled


by tlio fact that the Coiigregationalists were iimible to field their best eleven, several players having been injured, others failing to turn uji.


'Ihe result was that the visitors


opened with only ten men, and St. Alary’s had scored two goals before the eleventh man ap­ peared. Througliout the game the Congrega- tioiialisls were out classed. Tbo St. Alary’s forwards, ably supported by the half-backs, eoiiiiuuaily raided tlie visitors’ goal and only lino work by a liarrassed defence prevented much taller .scoring. St. Alary’s defence was sound and Bowsher in. goal had not to deal with a single shot throughout the game. This was largely due to the fact that the Coiigre- gatioralist half-backs had all their work cut out in assisting the hacks to repel the St. Alary’s attackiug force. 'Tlio visiting torwards had ilicreforo to do


their own loragiiig and were never retilly dangerous. Tlio game was very pleasantly


' contested, there being not a single toul. The I Parish Church team are undoubtedly one of I the most capable elevens iii the league. -YU i their torwards are excellent and work well I togetlier, receiving constant support from the i iiiterniecliato line, in wliicli Si>eak. tlie cap- ; tain, is the predominant figure. There is not,


' in fact, a weak spot in tlio side. A St. Alary’s correspondent say.s;—This


iiiictch proved very easy one lor St. Alary’s. In the 1st half. Ellis scored 2 and Cro.asdale I goal and the left- Iiack for tlic‘ Congregational- ists diverted a. fast siiot out of reach of the goalkeeper. At half-time the home, team was winning 4—0. In the second half St. Alary’s had things more or less their own way. En- twistlo scored I and Nutter 2 goals bringing


; tho final score to 7—0 for St. Alar.v’s. Tlie j game was notalile for the lack of dirty jihiy. This is proved hy the fact tli.-it not a single 1 foul was recorded throughout the gami>.


CHATliUHN AVESLEY. 2 : AlOOB LANE, 3. Chathurn AVesley entertained Aloor Lane


J . AA'eb.ster getting clean through the defence and ea.sily heat Hudson, after twenty miiiiite.s’


on Saturday and a hard game resulted in still anollier defeat for the home team. The iin- favouralilo weatlior was against good fixitliall and in tho first half play was of a scrappy nature. Aloor I,.ane were tile lirst to score,


! play. Bewsher had a line, opening .soon after­ wards but shot over. At the other end Csiw- gill saved well at close range and later Roliiii- .soii, the home centre, hit tho upright with a good shot. Play was transferred and the visitors put on a. .second point, tho referet' (Mr. Smalley) ignoring a .strong appeal for off-side, Haff-tiine; Aloor Lane. 2 ; AVesley, 0. The game w.as resumed under most depressing con­ ditions. which were not calculated to raiso a deal of entim.sia.sm. However, play w.as superior to tho first half. Afoor Lane in­ creased their toLal to three and evidently the Chatliiirii l.ads thought it was about time they started and in a hot attack Vardy opened their account willi a neat shot, which pa.ssed jiLSt inside tlie post. The game was now being vigorously fought and eacli end was visited in r.apid succession. A foul in tlie forbidden are,a wa.s ta,tnl to Afoor Lniio. A. Green scoring Chntbiirn’.s second goal from the ensuing penalty. T’ho homesters put in all they knew, to obtain an cquali.ser. hut the Aloor liune de­ fence was too good and the end came with th(‘ .score: Aloor Lane, 3 : Chathurn AA'esley, 2. Tlie Chathurn lads did not show tho form of


tho previous week, it was late in the game when they got going. On tho whole Aloor Lane deserved their victory.


ST. .TAAIES’S. 2 ; P.S.A.. 1. I T'liis was probahl.v the keenest iiiatcli ol the


day and it Is regrettable that it concluded with unpleasantness. From the onset it wa.s clear both sides were putting in all they know. St. Jamo.s’s opened in rather seimational fashion. Jep.soii scoring in tho first half- minutei P.S.A., however, did not get into a, p:iiiie and playing clever football kept out the St. .laiiies’s invaders with good style until the interval. At the same time their forwards found the St. Jamc.s’s defenders alert and vigorous. After the interval. Neal put the P.S.A. on equal terms ami the game w.as then iouglit witli rare vim and no mean standard


of skill. Each citadel escaped in turn until :t quarter of an lioiir from time. Alaiiley. of P.S.A., had then to Held a sharp shot and pressed b.v a St. .James’s forward he turned to clear. St. James’s cimteiid that in doing so ho crossed the line, hut P.S.A. stoutly deny this. A scrimmage ensued the outcome of which wa.s a penalty for St. .Tames’s, the referee detecting a foul by Cowpertliwaite. Scott took tho kick and iiitKle no mistake. Dis­ heartened and considering themselves unfairly dealt with, P.S.-Y. apimared to take no further interest in the game.

ROYAL BLUES, 9 ; CHATBURN, 1. Royal Blues secured another line victory on


Saturday when they played Clmihuni. Owing to rain, tlie captains decided to play half an hour each way. T’lie Blues won the toss and played with tlie wind. No sooner laid the hall been started than tho Blues who were playing oil their own ground, dashod olf to tho Chathurn goal mouth and after linding its play, T. Foulker, at inside right, gave liis side the lead with a shot from 15 yards range. Swarbrick, outside riglit, speedily added a second and third goals and at half-time the Blues were leading 3—0. 'The teams at once crossed over and from a breakaway Cliathurn scored tlieir only goal. There was to be no denying the Royal Blues forwards, however, and playing exesllcnt football, they worked down tho Held, J . Chathurn scoring a clever goal from a centre from Simms. From now onward, the home team were all over Cli.at- burn; their forwards being too nippy for tho visiting defence and the home rear guard prov­ ing too stiff a proposition for the Chathurn attackei-s. The Royal Blues goal .scorers were '1. Foulker (1), E. Swarbrick (3), J . Chat- burn (2). B . Nutter (2), T. Sminis (1).


AA'alkor Ellis, wlio for some weeks ha.s figured

and said lie was very pleased to pin the Military Medal on tlie breast of the little son of tho late Col.-Sergeant. Al. Dickinson, but ho was also very sorry that the winner of the dcMjoration himself was not present to receive it. Ho said that i t would he news to many people that Col.-Sergt. M. Dickinson started his career as a pupil teacher, but the SouUi African AVar interrupted his plans, and ho enlisted. He went through that war without a scratcfi. After ho came home it was too late to proceed with his original profession, and at the commencement of the late wax he enlisted again. He was s(k)ii promoted st*r- gCiiiiD, and some time after wt*nt to France. He wa.s awarded the Aliltary Modtil for meri­ torious service in general on the Aye.stern front. Mr. Pr.att hoped that when his little son looked on tho me<ln.l he would re.momher who gained it. and grow up a brave man like his fatlior. Ho tlien handed to liim 1!^ A\'ar Sa.vings Cortificate.s in a case, and read a letter from Mrs Dickinson (widow), wlio thanked all who had subscribed. Tho rest of tho evening was spent in d.anc-


ing. The school was well fille<I. ATr. A\ . Bat- cliffo wa.s tlie aecompanist, and also played for dancing.
