"Dud" Cameron intends returning to Stratford in a few weeks. The Wanganui eiub will miss his services greatly. He was the mainstay of 1 the Red and Blacks' rear-guard, and'is playing right up to his best form at present. THE ASSOCIATION GAME The expectations that a great crowd would be attracted to the Crystal Palace to see Sunderland and Aston Villa meet in the final of the Football Association' Cup were realised (says a Home correspondent). No fewer than 121,91.9 people v visited the palace,, and the receipts.wll be over,. £9000: The" best (previous total was 110,280, in 1901, when Tottenham met Sheffield United. Bigger crowds have been seen across the border, however, the England v. Scotland match at GHagow in 1912 attracting 127,307 people. Aston Villa deserved to #in.' Hardy, the custodian, was hurt, and had to retire for a time, during which period Harrop kept goal. It was highly creditable that the defence held out, and When Hardy returned the Villa men played up splendidly. Finally' Wallace sent in a corner kick, which enabled Villa to score. The ball dropped on Barker's head, and he propelled it into the net, out of the reach of Butler, the Sunderland custodian. Villa scored another goal, but it was ruled, off-side. Another goal should also have come when Stephenson was fouled, and the referee awarded a penalty kick, but it went wide. Thompson, the Sunderland captain, incurred the wrath of the spec- 1 tators, and the referee also had to call him to account, some of his methods transgressing the bounds of fair play. This' makes Aston, Villa's fifth success in- the competition. Though beaten, Sunderland can obtain some consolation in the league, which now looks a certainty for the northerners, in consequence of their draw (1-1) when visiting Aston Villa on Wednesday.
