suitable for the game between Wigan Rovers and Clithcroe, but minutes after the Clitheroc team arrived at the ground in the afternoon the match was called off. Alderman C. Chatburn said, "There were lumps of ice in

AMATEUR LEAGUE HIT BY WEATHER
The weather bit all but two of the five matches in the
Clitheroe and District Amateur League on Saturday, and the two games that were played did not bring any surprises. Billington were not extended when they beat Sabden 7 1
at home, and White Lions were able to dispose of Grindleton. This defeat means that
Sabden have now had 32 goals scored against them in their last three games, losing 13-0 to White Lions, 12-0 to Brockhall, and now 7-1 at
