This West London League match was played on Saturday on the Mets." ground in most zoiserable weather, irajn falling during the whole of the contest, and the turf was, io consequence, in a very slippery condition. The teams were Goal, J. ChaBenger; backs, Hewlett and Lntyohe half-backs. Way, Jones, and Clarkson; forwards, W. Lennox, C.

Lennpx, B. ChaBenger, Howe, and Railway: Goal, Gillett; backs, Snttou and Mnnn; half-backs, Pearce, G. Humphreys, and Warsap forwards, E. Jones, A. Jones, Woof, Jndd, and Aldridge.

Referee: Mr. £ns8ell. unpnn'cfiial by nearly half an hour, the game was oommenotid in a drenching'rain, the homesters kioking off with but a poor prospect of a pleasurable game. At onoe in the visitors' lines, some good exchanges were witnessed, and Challenger was kept on the but the final rash resulted in a comer, which Aldtidge placed short, and the ball was got awa.y and taken down the field. Westoby got np close, but was not quick enough in shooting, and Warsap, taking possession, passed across his line, where Pearce took np the running, and Aldridge spoiled a good chance by some tricky and fanciful tactics which' didn't work, Hewlett robbing him nicely, and placing in mid-field, where the- superior speed of the homesters, which had already become noticeable, enabled them to take it np again with comparative ease, and another comer was forced, nothing, however, coming of it.

Gillett soon after had another visit, and got the ball away in bis old style, but a second msh of the Cresoent later on bothered Charlie a lot, and at last found him at the comer flag ere he was able to get rid of it, a form of goal- keeping which, to. say the least, is uncommon, if not nniqoe. Phiy centred for a time in the visitors' half, where the right wing did fiome neat work, but could not get a clear shot, nor could Woof and Judd penetrate their opponents' goal, Challenger keeping in fine style. It seemed almost certain that nothing would be scored np to was drawing near, when, while the Mets." were strongly attack, ing right ipf backs deliberately punoheU imj, a proceeding which called forth the customary Outburst from the good number! of Bpeotatotg: greSettK JOnas; 'took 'tiie penalty kick, and placed, tjie into the net. Immediately after- thB''Siofc-6ff mid-field, the announced half -time, the teams crossing over and getting to again without the usual interval.

With the slight benefit which the ground siffords in their favour, the Mets." went away at once into the enemies' quarters, and, indeed, for the whole of the second half it seemed to be little else. Rarely did the ball visit the home goal; and then, when an advantage Boemed to present'iteelf to them, the Cresoent were decidedly at sea, and could not improve matters at alL The home team, now playing a really good oorabinatiou game, kept Challenger busy, and he did his work well. Neat passing by the forwards told its valuable tale, and at length "Teddy" had a grand oppor. tnnity and- shot a goal amidst load applause. On two occasions prior he had -just missed the coveted spot, and it seemed to be but a matter of time for soinething to accrue to his fine shooting.

Crescent, playing a hard game, oonld not get the ball away from its dangerous proximity to their goal, Eind soon A. Jones, receiving a nice pass from his brother, put the ball through very smartly, bringing the homesters' lead np to 3 goals. The -visitors, how. ever, did not relax their efforts, bnt put all they were capable of into their play, and were rewarded when near tame by scoring a goal from a general scrimmage right under the bar. Nothing more was scored, and Crescent Hampstead suffered defeat by 3 goals to 1.

On the whole the game was of a better class than that which was played on the White Hart" ground on the previous Saturday, though the continuouB rain made the turf treacherous, and the spectators and eyerything else miserable. Li the home team nothing could compare with the splendid hajf-bao'k line, whose play was highly creditable. Gillett hadn't much to do, and nothing much can be said against the forwards, save, perhaps that Woof did not shine very brilliantly at centre, though this being anew position for him, perhaps it must not count. Sutton and Munn, at back, were safe, and accounted for a.lot of work. Crescent HampstJead were a good team, but were fairly outclassed by the superior speed of their opponents, and to us it appeared that Cbaljenger, in goal, prevented a mnch heavier score being run -up against them.

Westoby tried hard, with the aid of Howe, to improve matters, and their short passing was at times very creditable, though never effective, and there is no doubt that Crescent were beaten all round. Metropolitan Railway, it may therefore be said, earned their League points in somewhat easy fashion.

match was played on Wednesday last, at Alperton HaU. The teams were very evenly matched as regards size and weight, all being under 14 years of age. The home team, howe-ver, showed decided auperiority'in thematterof combination, and were quicker than their opponents in taking advantage of openings; Thegamewasfast and spirited throughout, some capital play being seen on both sides. The Alperton Hall boys led at halftime by 5 goals to 0, and in the second portion of the game added 3 The goals were obtained by Janes, Fry, and Earlesden (B) v. Bloomabnry These teams met on the.

ground of the latter at Child 's Hili on Saturday last From the very beginning the visitors had the best of the game, which was played under very depressing conditions as regards weather, rain falling heavily. The visitors pressed throughout the whole of the first half, and had "ITTOOTBALL Ground to entirely private; Jj dressing room; at rear of "Coach and Horses" Hotel, Stonebridge, Harlesden.

On resnmiug tte homesters did not show any improvement, and the visitors made a victory for iheir side oer aih by souring 3 goals in the first five minutes. Four more poiuTs were added at intervals, and eventually Harlesden came out winners of a rather one-aided game by 8 goals to 0. Skinner, at centre, played a good although rather selfish game, bnt the chief feature of the forwards' play was the combination of the brothers Gunner on the left wing, the passing of the younger at inside being very accurate, whilst the oentrea of the elder were really first class. At half-back Benstead tackled well, and Dealt put in a lot of hard work; but he geta too far up the field to be safe.

Amott and Shepherd at back were alwaya handy whenrequired, and seldom allowed their opponents to get dangerous. Farrell, in goal, had very little work to do. Harlesden team: goal, Farrell; backs. Shepherd and Amott; half-backs, Neech, Deall; forwards, H. E.

the game ended in a draw, both teams iaving one goal to their credit. The game was started at 4 p.m., in a drizzling rain, with the home team kicking off, and the ball was immediately taken into, the homesters' territory, when P. Bell cleared with a high kick; but the ball was aoon got back again, and after a aorimmage in front of goal the leather got nnder the bar. Upon the ball being restarted, the Hamilton's called upon to defend, which he did well; and at half-time the scores Craven, 0 The game inimediately started, and the Craven began, to find their old combination form; but oould not score, and it seemed a game between backs V. backs, the Hamilton back putting the shots ont; the Craven backs (Bell and Holmes), putting the leather back again.

Just before, time was called Craven scored, and the game ended in a draw. St. Andrew's v. Boad College Despite the wet weather, the ground at HoUy Ijane was in a fairly good condition vrhen the above duba met to play in a friendly 'matoh. The visitors brought over a very good team, but the Saints were unable to place their advertised team in the field, and fully expected a beating.

Flay commenced about 3.4S, and for some time give and take play was the order. The Saints then settled down, and sent in several shots at their opponents' goal, the hoihe forwards giving a fine exhibition of the abort pasaing game. The visitors broke away several times, but were pnlled np by the Saints' baoka, who were playing a very safe game. Although both sides worked hard, and the two goal-keepers were kept busy, no points were registered, and atliaif-time the score stood, Borongh Road, St. Andrew's, 0.

On resnming, the Saints at onoe attacked, and the B's goal-keeper was called npon to save several hot shots. The home forwards then made another of their combined runa, and Harrold, obtaining possession of the ball, passed to Blackburn, who, -with a good shot, scored the first goal for the Saints. The B's now tried liard to equalise, but the home team were now playing in grand form, the right--wing fairly walking, round their opponents. Beckett, who was playing a good game at centre, made a pass to Harrold, who, with a syrift shot, scored the second goal for the Saints. Although both sides made strenuous efforts to score nothing resulted, when the blew for time, thef home team, after a splendid game, ran out winners by 2 goals to 0.

match was played at Woodford on Saturday, about thirty members of the club journeying with the team. Ward made hia first appearance this season, while Norman Wake was tried at left back. Losing the toss, the Rangers kicked off uphill. Ware, on the Woodford left wing, getting possession, shot into goal. Hiscox caught the slipped on the greasy gronnd, and in a trice -was bunded into the goal to Woodfordi From the kick-off the Rangers went away, but for a time could'not get ustd to the strange WlMst' the pelting rain made a skating rint of the-field.

The home forwards, with the hftlp of the hill, gave the Park defence a warm time, but the lialvea played splendidly, and Hiscox in goal made some really At length the left wing of the Rangers put in some pretty work, and as the result of some neat work between Ward and Wallington, the last-named tested Kips with a lovely shot, which that gentleman just tipped over the bar. The play now became more even, the half-back line of both teams calling for the highest praise. A good run by the Woodford right wing resulted in Ward-Leaver shooting. Hiscox cleared, but Stanley Jones gained possession in mid-field, and, with a lucky, long-dropping shot, scored the second goal for Woodford, the ball grazing the bar. The Rangers' right wing then put in some good work, bnt found Mat.

Wallace a powerful obstacle. Tears do not seem to alter this player. He made full use of his height Mid weight, and Graham'-Simpson 'and he seemed to be having a lively time together. No further score resulted to half-time. As the rain -was still pelting do-wn, the teams crossed over almost immediately.

The secondhalf opened, curiously enough, the same aa the first; Ware got posseaaion and centred, and from a bad misunderstanding between Norman Wake and Teagle, the ball was put in the net for the third time. From this the Paxk team bucked hp, and for the next wenty-five minutes Woodford hardly crosaed their line. Wallington, aided by Ward, was too aUppery for Smith and Whitehead, and time after time put in some ripping shots, bnt Kipa waa always on the alert and got them away. A aeries of comers here fell to the Rangers, a feature which was the aplendid placing of "Tyler. At length, from a comer well placed by the :baU.jw8S put into Woodford's net over a Still keeping up the pressure, the ball was kept in the Woodford goal mouth, but 'Whitehead and 'Wallace were alwaya there and averted danger.

At length Ware' broke away, and going at top speed, centred to Frank Jones, who scored -with a good shot. The game was well contested to the finish, when the whistle blew, Woodford victors by 4 goals to 1. For the Park, the halves (Knight, Hiscox, and Tyler) deserve the highest praise's Teagle, at back, played a fine game. The same cannot be said of his partneri Hiscox, in goal, did some good work. The forwards played hard, Wallington shining espeoiaUy as Ward waa with hhn.

For Woodford, Wallace, Smith, Ware, and Ward-Lsayer were good. W. (captain), Normap, Hiscox, Wallington, Burge, Simpson, andDavies. Woodford: Kips, Smith, Jones, Soutter, Ware, Coffley, F. Jones, Ward-Leaver, and Wetton.

'Wembley v. Old FnUeruns. teams should have met on Saturday at Werutiley, but o-wing to the latter club's inability to raise a team, the match had to be cancelled. Fortunately another game was arranged with a good club. Wembley v.

Prom the kick-off, the home- stera had possessibn, the ball being taken well down the left -wing, from where Jolly sent in a splendid shot, tdje ball running all along the front of the cross-bar, and eventually falling in the month of goal, bnt the Cavendish onstodian saved good style. Four more'goals were scored before the whistle sounded for the visitors then having a substantial lead, the score being: Caven- diah, 7 Wembley, 0. Resuming the game, play, went very even for aome conaiderable time, each' team attacking in turn. Tlie home forwards seonred, made a run, and ought to have scored an easy goal, but Qriudley sent wide of the mark, the ball going right over the goal, The -viBitora again scored, eighth, goal being obtained from a very hard.

Very few faults conld be found with the play of the visitors, the whole of the eleven playing in splendid style. Their forwards we're a partionlarly smart and fast lot, and the oombination of the whole team waa almost perfect. In the home teaip the moat noticeable were Jolly, Langley, and Swihnerton. These three worked very hard throughout, but nn- fortunately they did not receive much support from the halves, whof.were rather -weak.

Walker, in goal, waanot in good form, and the ball being ill a very wet and slippery condition, several slow and easy ahota were allowed to pass into the net. By the score it would appear that the game was a very one-sided one, but this was not case, home team had almost as mnch of the game as their opponents, bat( they, were nnsnoceaaifnl in their attempts to score.

These teams met at Harrow on Saturday last, before about 300, spectators, when the home team simply made rings round their opponents, and won by the very substantial margin of 12 goals to nil. A drizzling rain was falling when Hampstead Moked off, and for the first quarter of an hour play waa fairly even, each goal being in turn attacked. Cook, during this the hall through for Harrow, but the point was diaallowed, adhe was palpably off-side.
