BATH THE FIRST ENGLISH SIDE TO BEAT LLANELLY

London, Jan. 31. Bath deserve credit for being the first English club so far to defeat Llanelly, but Bristol failed to repeat an earlier success over. Newport: Cardiff and Swansca are now "all square,” having beiten each other twice this season.

There appears to be na stopping the Wasps, who are the only unbeaten club in the succeeding list. Their latest victims are the Old Millhillians.
