HE" the first opportunity fo touch' down, and, Donaldson madej; splendid bat unsuccessful attempt to land a goal from a penalty kick. Score at half-time Macningham, nil; 'Brig-house, nil. At the outset of the second portion the Brighotiss forwards asserted themselves, and theManningham backs ware busily engaged defending. Nicholl was very near scoring after a lengthy ran and the play continued of a fast andbpen character. England passed cleverly to Waddinrjton, who 3cored a brilliant try for Brighouse, which Abbey" converted.

This proved the winning point, as nothing more was scored, leavlog Brighouse tbe victors by a goal to nil, Morleyv. Ossett At Dfiwsbury. Gledhill started for Morley, who wfjro soon attacking, but Dews relieved with a good run and kick up field. Morley forwtu'ds brought the play back again, where, from a pass by Tuke, Parker scored. Blackburn converting.

After the kick-out reached the auarter-iiiie. senhng the English and Scottish leasrues come off at Celtic Park, Glasgow. Considerable interest was centred in the event, and there was was large attendance, estimated at nearly 30,000 people, present. Both organisations were strongly represented, and a close and interesting game was generally expected. Anticipations in this respect were folly realised, for although the game resulted in a dooisive victory for the Englishmen, tho contest was by no means so one-sided as tbe score would seem to indicate, and it must in fairness be admitted that the Scotchmen experienced vary hard lines on several occasions.

The home side losing tha toss, kicked off with a brilliant sun in their faces, After a few axohanses of a fairly oven character, the Scots bora down upon thoir adversaries' stronghold, and after a few moments' excit-fngplay Oswald notched the firBt goal for scarcely five minutes having elapsed from the commencement. For some time after tho kick-out tbe home eleven ware seen to advantage, and Storar had having very httfe-to do. Withmamiimfe of time, however, he failed to stop a Bhot from MfElheney and the remit was a draw of one goal each. 3RD LAKAEK B.V. MlLLWALL ATHLETIC.

Four thousand spectators witnessed this match at Eastferry-road, Miliwall. Play was fast and good, but af tor the first quarter of an hour the home eleven lost all combination, and they were beaten by a itoal to love. The losers were good forward, although Robertson was not at his bast, but Smith and Bowman, the visiting hacks, were simply superb, and it wae seldom that they allowed their, goalkeeper to be troubled. Tho visitors kicked off, and but for Matthews, Johnson would have scored for them in the first two minutes. At tho end of half an hour Johnson and Bell attacked and pass -ing to Fiffo the.

latter credited Third Lanark with tho only goal of the match. In the second period countless corners fell to the share of tbe visitors, whilst only twice were FOOTBALL. SpeciUSareditoof Iwt week.

If you want to interview ChariMF. Barden, the professional cyclist and record holder.you must talk to bis father sg well, for Joe Broughton is hie son's trainer, and the two are inseparable. Charlie, he tells me, put off his appearance Continental races on account of his special machine not -being ready for him. His first races-will be in Paris, and then he journeys -to Italy, Germany, Belgium, Helhvnd, Spain, and Austria. And, mark vou," said his father, throwing out his chest as if he were still in the army, and could race away- from his comrades as in the old days, wherever the boy goes ho will give a eood straight race to his opponents.

Nothing underhanded about Charlie, though ho is a professional rider. You know he turned professional of. his own free will," Charlie, as ha stands bv CHARLES F. BABDSN. the sida of his dad, takes it all in; and a fine pair of stalwart athletes the two make ona vote: an, tbe other with the world before him, Joe Barden is batter known as "Broueh- ton," the name he raced uudar years ago.

Possibilities are great, and opportunities will be put in his wav by those interested in him to reach thaeroalof bis ambition that is, undisputed World's champion. As is well-known, tha cycle trade itself plays a great part in races, especially professional riding-. A good man makes a certain machine famous, and help is always forthcoming to give that rider training facilities. With the professionals transactions with machine makers are open and above board, though with thanm'atsurs dealings are kept as secret as possible on account of the N.C.

tj. In Paris last year Barden broke several world's records. He took all tbe distances from one kilometre to ten kilometres. He lowered the European mile to Imin. 53 2-5sec, at Bordeaux last November.

He was the first Englishman to ride a. mile inside two minutes. After getting these particulars from Charlie dad joins in again with Twice a day Charlie rides when in fall training; no shirking, mind you. Eleven and four are the hours he turns out' as a general rule. Does a'lot of of course; Plain diet and early hours, that's, onr your eyes open for something gootl this season.

And as the old soldier and his cycling son right about turned i wished them every success this coming busy season-abroad. The two left tor the continent last week. At the Restaurant sports on Good Friday clubmen gathered together in numbers Sue and large. Mr.

In the evening Harry catered for the officials of the sports in fine style at the club's headquarters. What with presenting prizes and giving so much of hie time Harry is voted agood 'nn by the boys. I admire sports officials. Their duties are onerous and have to ha patiently performed. It is not every olub in London that con afford to entertain them in the evening after the sports.

Mr. G. W. McArthur. tha hon.

sec, in spite of great difficulties this year in the way of opposition, pulled the sports through and did not disappoint the thousands of people who look forward to the annual gathering. The Mile Handicap race on Good Friday at Stamford-bridge, which was decided in heats, was irtterasfiiricr enous-h. It is instructive to notice that the back-marker's heat was fast in all truth 4inin 21sec but was put. the shade by the longer-mark men's 4min 11 l-6sec.

He considers his chance hopeless from scratch. Bnrfm fl. Times, tha hon. sac. of the South London harriers, is straightforward official.

Ihnes does not conceal the fact that Bradley cannot come np, and circulates the information through the Press, adding, however, that Wittenberg will probably fill the gap.

Andrew Hannah still improves. This athlete has again annexed the 10 miles championship of the Scottish A.A.A. Hia time last week on the Hampden-park track at Crosshill, Olnsgow, was bomin xosec. The Clydesdale man broke the Soottish record (his own) by 36 2-5sec. W.

Dumbarton, Several thousand spectators passed the turnstiles at tho Manor Fields, Plumstead, to witness this match.

For the first time in a cou pie of years the Scottish club visited the resions of Plumstead Marshes. Having lost tha toss, the Scotsmen had to iaco the sun and wind during the initial half.
