Scottish Players Mr. E. Green, Who had seen Caskie O. L.
Perth St. Johnstone, did not condemn him, although he had
not shewn up too well in the first half, but thought that
he should be seen again, as he had many good points.
Mr. H. Hart gave good reports of him & McKennan, Caskie
was only 5'4". Mr. R. R. Cochran was also impressed by
these two players & Carabine (F. B.). He reported very
unfavorably of Kennedy (F. B.) King's Park.
Nelson (Willington) Mr. H. Hart was rather impressed by the
possibilities of this R. B. who was 5'9" 10½ st & 20 years.
Jones (Fleetwood) Mr. J. Fare did not recommend this I. R.
but wrote favorably of Stevenson (G.) Bacup.
Kilshaw (Prescot) Messrs Pickering & Fleetwood were agreed
that this O. L. was very good but too small. Secy.

the amount quoted to us, but it was decided that
we proceed no further with this player at present.

made our maximum offer of £750 for this player &
the circumstances attending same. It was agreed
that, as the offer had been refused, we withdraw
from negotiations pro tem.
Swan (Morecambe) Mr. H. Lyon was pleased with this goalkeeper
excepting in so far as his size went. He was 5'7½" but
well built & was aged 23. He liked Blakeney as
an I. R. & thought he was worth following up.
Roberts (Rhyl) Mr. W. Maloney gave a very good report of
this O. R. who appeared to be 22, 5'8" & about 9½ st.
Dougal P. (7) It was decided that if permission be
granted by the Football League under this player's
unusual circumstances, the sum of £150 be paid to
the Arsenal F. C. to enable them to pay the aforesaid
