game, for his aldo was greatly inforior to the other so much so, indeed, that for three parts of the game he was besily employed in hitting and kloking out shots that were rained in upon him from every quarter. He could do nothing wrong, and in the end his aids on out visterious after being theashed in most de clsive fashion in orezy other department of the game. Hawtrey was a sturdy, thick-set man, brt possessed-marvellons agility: his career however, was Bentewhat meteorie, for he fell off na rapidly as bo acme into prominenco. He gain an International cap, however, but at together failed to keep up his repation. H. N. Mons,, of Sheffield, was another very fire goal keeper. and so also was A. Rowan, who need to lo daly for the rodeabtable Queen's Park. C. H. Hobeen, a Stafforblire player; Green halgh, of Notta; P. C. Parr, of Oxford University renown; Wolfall, the Black barn Bovora custodian of the early eighties, wore all splendid on in their day. As a rule, both Oxford and Cambridge have had goed men in goal, and I shall not be far for un wrong, I fancy, if I award the palm, ; the Universities are concerned, to Vidal, who was without a doubt a really brilliant worker. Is. Swupstone's day the number of first clues toanis was not to be compared with those of Vidal's day, but taking the matches as a whole, good, bad and indifferent, the Oxonian had a recurl of which any man might bo proud. Time, Dipping thus into the earlier history of the game, ore is tempted to gossip about these bygone giants somewhat unduly, perhaps, but there's a good deal to be said of our goalkeepers yut, and I shall have to return to thom at- a fature date. Playcra like Mills, Roberta, Trainor, Batuliffe, Aribar, Bob Robaris, say nothing of Roader, and Hilan to scores of others, demand recognition, and some day we will chat together of these latter-day heroes.

BEATEN, BUT NOT DISGRACED. Thit somewhat thread bare phrase of com- mizeration has boun applied times and oft in sporting matture with more or less ronson, but seldom has there been botter grounds for repeat ing it than the recent contests between picked teams of Amerion and English athletes afford. The Britishers were soundly defeated, without a doubt, but now that we hare hud some little light thrown upon the methods adopted by the Americans to bring-about-nur downfall, we have vary little reason to be despondent. Not to put ico fine a point on it, the humiliation of our mon was effected by individuals who, what- over they may be considered on the other side of the Atlantic, were searcaly of the class we Britishers style, mustensi. Not but that some few of then were genuine enough. It not in ray power to say to what extent the composition of the Amerieap team www known to the English managers when the contest was first entered upon, sad we can only surmise that the states of most of them was unknown. Those who were responsible for the trip on this side would searasly hare gone on with it had they been away that our men had to be fitted against semi-professionals. New that our ayes have been opened, perhaps it will be as well if these international amenities are dropped for a while. Properly arranged and carried out there is a good deal to bo sati in favour of such meetings; it is not unpleasant to see Young England at play against. Young America; but if there is to be all this arranging and finessing beforehand, and all the bitterness we hare seen recently displayed to follow ou, the sooner the contests are dropped the better To my mind the Americans who-the-phyer names, he at once started off fed the chouring, end, shall I say paying, of the team on the other side had everything to do with the dafest of the Englishmen. It was a splendid team they put into the field, there can be no two opinions concerning their prowess, but were they amatours-Roports any distinctly no. Therefore, may we console our selves with the luckneyed expension-Beaten, but not disgrace. It is a troublesome problem this amateur busines, and all things considered, I am cot sure we should lone anything if the question of status in connection with sport was Then night we go into swept away altogether auch tray us that recently fought out in the United States without any of the restrictions as to the purity of the contestants to barnss us, I can quite believe that zoany people are weary of the whole thing: it seams a terrible bugbear but so far 99 ane can judge the time has not yet arrived to drop our ematenrisur, and sn we must submit to our defeats with what humbleness and grace we can command.
OUR CYCLING PARLIAMENT. Much the same embarrassment cutains in the cycling world, and it is an extremely difficult Gatter to say who are amateurs and who pro fessionals. Many persons who profess to be touch with the different phases of the sport of cyaling declare that amsteers are extremely rive on the racing path; others as just as emplatio that we have hundred, if not thousands, of real genuine anatetirs racing to-day. Under those circumstance, it will evily be understood, that confusion reigns supre Take the world's chanship as an instance. Last year a tor-
That I'm Bob Roberta" has never left my memory, and never will. In this game we were introduced to a real Welch giant in the parson of one Powell, who played grandly a back. He afterwards, I believe, joined a team in the North of Eugland, but of this I m not quite certain. In this game, too, we saw a one-armed player perform, whose name, if I recollect aright, was Ketley. I am only doing him baro justice in saying that he was uno that best man on the field. Perhaps I but better add that this "Bob" must not ho confounded with the lengthy goalkeeper who used to do duty for West Bromwich Albion,
