243 That he visited the Crewe v Stalybridge match today and that J. Roberts the outside left of Crewe Alexandra played very well and was well worth further consideration. That F. Roberts, Crewe's inside right was too small. That Pearson the Stalybridge left half was also a very good player and worth further consideration. The Secretary and John Fare reported their visit to Shildon to see Cooper the outside right of Newcastle United play but they did not see enough of his play to warrant any recommendation. Newcastle having telephoned that they would accept £1000 for Cooper, it was decided to defer the consideration thereof to next meeting. Beare An inquiry having come from Burnley as to the price of Beare's transfer, the Secretary was instructed to negotiate with them at £1500. On the motion of Mr. Davies, seconded by Mr. Coffey, Dr. Baxter having intimated that Wednesday night was most unsuitable for him to attend the meetings, it was resolved that future meetings be held on Tuesday's at 7 p.m. Mr. Kirkwood reported his visit to the International match at Wrexham on Monday and that there was nothing that would suit us. The action of the Secretary in arranging to play Woolwich Arsenal at Highbury on the 31st inst. on half gross gate terms with a guarantee of £100 was confirmed.
