was also unavailable, his place was filled by Billy Davies. A.S.
Rowlands then replaced Evan Jones. Rowlands and Davies then swapped
places.
Ted Vizard injured his right ankle and retired. He did try
to carry on, returning to the field, but ultimately, he had to retire
after forty minutes play. |

Match Report |
England beat Wales in a hard
game at Cardiff yesterday by two goals to none.
England deserved their victory,
but the score hardly does justice to the plucky work of Wales up to
half-time. The Welshmen had shown promising form--in fact, their play
had been more encouraging that that of their opponents--but the
unfortunate accident to Vizard, a most valuable player, was a factor
that cannot be measured...
Neither of the two goals could
be called good ones, and the second by Wedlock came as a surprise, for
the Bristol City player had handled before the ball was returned to him
to shoot...
The side certainly played much
better as a whole than in the previous international, but there are
still a few rough edges to be taken off, the most noticeable weakness
being at half-back.

Cardiff. A single goal separated the teams after two scoreless

semi-finals, by only the second goal that they conceded in their eighth

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 16 March
1914 that a Paris newspaper editor, Gaston Calmette, was shot and killed
by Henriette, the wife of the Minister of Finance, Joseph Caillaux,
after threatening to publish letters that the minister had written to
her whilst married to his first wife. She was acquitted of the murder,
four months later, on the grounds that it was a crime of passion.
