CLUB HISTORY
Liverpool Echo - Monday 04 June 1934
Bee’s Notes
"Aughton" adds to the club history of our local sides: — In reference to the correspondent W. R. I. in his letter about the Liverpool Caledonians and South End club, says “Aughton," I think he is in error in stating that the Caledonians won the Lancashire League. I have no recollection of the Caledonians playing in that League, only in season 1892-3, when they, along with Liverpool (then in their first season) joined the League, Liverpool finishing champions. They certainly could not have won the League before, as in the three previous years of its existence it was won by Higher Walton the first season and Bury in the next two seasons. Speaking from memory they only played about half the season and then broke up. Of the players I remember Mr. Evans left the district and Parry returned to Everton the year after the old Liverpool South End was formed and joined the old Liverpool District League, then a strong combination, including clubs like Aintree Church, Liverpool Reserves, Skelmeradale, Earlestown, &c., and in their second season they were champions. The next season 1895-6 they joined the Lancashire League, but the venture was not a success and they only were members one season. The following year a new club was started under the title of South Liverpool and played in junior football for two seasons winning the Liverpool Amateur League in 1897-8. The year after they entered the Old Combination, the following local teams also being members: Liverpool, Everton, Tranmere Rovers, White Star Wanderers, Garston Copper Works and Chester, and carried on until the end of that competition and afterwards in the Lancashire Combination and played at Shorefield until the ground was required for other purposes when, I believe, they played a short time on a new ground Dingle way. 

EVERTON’S HOMECOMING

GENIAL SCOTSWOMAN 
Liverpool Echo - Wednesday 06 June 1934
Mrs. Margaret Atkinson, a genial Scotswoman, is the widow of the late Mr. J. Atkinson, one of the original directors of Everton F.C. The firm, Joseph Atkinson, coach builders, of Sylvester-street, is one of the oldest in this district of Liverpool. When she heard that she had drawn a horse, Mrs. Atkinson left, with her youngest son, for an unknown destination, and the family at present do not know where she is or when she will return.  "She was very excited when she heard that she had drawn a horse," said Mr. J. Atkinson, one of her two sons, to the Echo, this afternoon.  She had several offers from syndicates to buy shares in the ticket, but I saw Windsor Lad win at Chester and I advised her not to sell. I do not know whether she sold part of the ticket.  "She is quite comfortably off, and I do not think the fortune will make much difference to her. She is very jolly, and often goes to see Everton play since her husband, who died about eleven years ago, was one of the original directors and keenly interested in the club."  Mr. Atkinson added that he did not expect his mother home until the weekend.

CRITCHLEY LEAVES EVERTON
Liverpool Echo - Friday 08 June 1934
OUTSIDE RIGHT JOINS PRESTON N.E.
E. Critchley, the Everton outside right, was to-day transferred to Preston North End.  Critchley came to Everton from Stockport County a matter of seven years ago, and has done yeoman service for the club. He kept his place in the side until Ritchie came down from Scotland, but after the Scottish played had failed to "deliver the goods" Critchley was reinstated, and he maintained his position until the advent of A. Geldard.  It will be recalled that Geldard was unable to play in the semi-final tie against West Ham United, at Wolverhampton, so back came Critchley, and it was he who scored the winning goal which enabled Everton to go on to Wembley and win the cup.  Critchley was unfortunate in not gaining a Cup medal, for the year before he was unable to play in the penultimate round at Old Trafford when Everton were beaten at West Bromwich Albion.  Critchley’s absence that day moist probably prevented Everton from winning, for his deputy missed the chance of the match, and the Albion went on to score a lucky goal.

EVERTON F.C’S TOUR OF TENERIFFE
Liverpool Echo - Saturday 09 June 1934
CLIFF BRITTON’S INTERESTING STORY OF PLAY AND PLAYERS
AND A PICTURE OF THE VIUSITORS TO THE VANDYCK
Everton once again fared well on tour. At Teneriffe they were unbeaten. They had to suffer referees’  peculiar ways and one time a player was rough and was not allowed to play in the second half—but the local officials conveniently put on a new player to fill the breach. 
Cliff Britton, the Everton player who "corresponded" for this paper in the club's tour of Teneriffe, sent these communiques;-
Everton once again fared well on tour. At Tenerife they were unbeaten. They had to suffer referees' peculiar ways and one time a player was tough and was not allowed to play in the second half-but the local official conveniently put on a new player to fill the breach. Cliff Britton, the Everton player who ‘'correspond'' for this paper in the clubs tour of Tenerife sent these communiqués: - We played the second match here, the result being a draw 1-1. We did not have many visitors to us at the hotel here yesterday, as this match was not considered to be so important to the Spanish people as the two Sunday matches. There was plenty of excitement going on the hotel left, the reason being empire day. The English colony here-as they do annually-had congregated in their hotel grounds to spend the afternoon together in honour of empire day. They seemed to having a very happy time, enjoying themselves by taking part in various sports and games. Quite a crowd of the English folk came to wave us, off and send with us their good wishes. In our team there had to be rather an unfortunate change. I expect you will all have heard how Jock Thomson was suddenly called home owing to his baby son being taken to the hospital. This meant a few changes. Jimmy stein was brought back to left half Coulter brought in at outside left, Stevenson came in at inside left in place of Higham. We had to kick off with the sun in our back and we made tracks for our opponents goal right away, and kept them mostly in their own half for the first quarter of an hour or so. After twenty minutes our efforts were rewarded by a neatly worked goal-Alex Stevenson put the ball in the net. The movement started on the left, Jack Coulter ran to the corner-flag before centering to Dixie who headed it back to Stevenson to put in the net. For the best part of the first half we had most of the play, with quite a few chances to increase our lead, but we didn't make the most of them, so that when the whistle blew for half-time the score was still 1-0. Just before half time a nasty incident happened. The left half of Tenerife, who had just previously been charged by Albert Geldard thinking it an injustice, made to get his own back, but instead of doing so by a charge he used methods that did not meet with the approval of the crowd. During the interval the president of the Tenerife club came in to apologize to Geldard, and to inform us that the left half would not take any further part in the game. Whereupon our directors and players said they had no wish for this to happen, but the president's reply was that it was in the best interest of the game. So a New Left back was brought on for the second half. Tenerife began to settle down to their own game. As time went on it became more and more of a fight for us. Tenerife were playing much better and were being helped by a succession of free kicks through off-sides. With about a quarter of an hour to go Tenerife equalised. It was from a penalty taken for an infringement while a corner was being taken. I could not see the incident, but the members of our party thought it an unfair decision, but as in England, the referee has the last word, so all we could do was to try to bear it, the goal put new life in Tenerife team, and when the final whistle went we were still fighting to keep our goal intact. Britton, writing from Teneriffe, May 27, says;- Today we played our third and final match of the tour, the result being 3-2 in our favour.  Although there has been no high scoring, we are quite pleased to come away without being defeated, because, taking everything into consideration, the games have not been so easy as we expected.  The referee was the one who was in charge of the first game-a Mr. Willis- as the one we had on Thursday was not too satisfactory.  One of the features of the matches has been the poor referring.  They are poor referees in the country, and do not seem to have the courage of carrying out their own convictions.  They know their own countrymen best, and they have to stay on the island after we leave, but this one failing has made the games harder for us.  When we arrived it was to find the largest crowd of the three games.  We were presented to the British Consul here, after which the rival captains performed very pleasing gestures.  Dixie presented the Tenerfiffe captain with a miniature flag made with our club colours, and the Teneriffe captain presented Dixie with a flag bearing the Teneriffe coat of arms.  Teneriffe decided to kick with the sun in their backs. We made for our opponents by means of the right wing, Geldard taking right up to the line before pulling it back across the goal, but the rest of our forwards could not connect. We kept the ball well in their half, and with a little bit of luck we might have been a couple of goals in the lead. After twenty minutes our efforts were rewarded when Stein, taking a centre from the cross right, scored with a brilliant drive. Tenerife began to settle down to their game, and enjoyed quite a fair share of the game. With about a quarter of an hour left till half-time, Teneriffe equalized with what we thought an offside goal. With the second half only a minute old we took the lead, Stevenson being scorer, after good work from Geldard. Just after the crowd saw a brilliant solo effort by Albert Geldard, who, receiving the ball just over the half-way line, ran through, beating three men before placing the ball into the back of the net. We had quite a few more chances, but they were not taken. Teneriffe began to show a little more life again and Sagar, Williams, and Cook had quite a busy time. Tenerife scored their second goal from a scramble. It was a ding-dong battle, as the home players were getting plenty of encouragement from the crowd to score an equaliser, but when the final whistle went we still had the lead by 3-2.  From our point of view this match has been the best of the tour; we played more consistently than in the other two matches, having most of the play throughout except for two short spasms in each half. As a result Teneriffe had their poorest game, but a few of their players were outstanding successes, the right-half played exceptionally well; the goalkeeper and left back came out with honours, too.  We had a couple of positional changes from the team that played on Thursday.  Warney Cresewell came in at left half, with Jimmy Stein moving up to outside-left in the place of Jack Coulter.

 

MAKING SURE OF A CENTRAL BERTH FOR EVERTON
Liverpool Echo - Tuesday 12 June 1934
Bee’s Notes
Annual meetings and the presentation of accounts make football a topic even in summer's glory. The brightest news of the moment is the fact that Everton have decided they must get a recognised centre forward to act as deputy for Dean.  In previous efforts they have tried inside forwards and created the Cunliffe, Higham and White endeavour. Now they are promising to buy a ready-made centre of experience. The difficulty of the task is plain to see; Dean'sdeputies will always suffer the comparison made by the remembrance of the hey-day of the Birkenhead lad. However, time takes toll of all and footballers cannot go on forever. Everton, therefore, realise the necessity of bringing a personal touch into the centre position.

GENERAL MEETING
June 16, 1934. Liverpool Post and Mercury
Within the next day or two a first-class centre-forward is to be signed by Everton Football Club, so that he will be available next season in case Dean is not up to his usual standard. This announcement was made by Mr. W.C. Cuff, the chairman, at the annual meeting at the law association rooms, last evening. ‘'I had hoped that I should be in a position to night to announce the name of our new first-class centre-forward,'' but we are still on the lookout, and I think in the next day or two his name will be announced.'' There was not a dissentient voice throughout the meeting, which was completed, in record time. Mr.Cuff explained that the profit of £2172 of the previous year had become a loss of £2,401, chiefly because the club was defeated in the first round of the cup competition. The league receipts exceeded those of the previous season, and because of the loss reported the surplus profits were now £56,000 compared with nearly £60,000 the previous year. It was not surprising that they had not had such a good season from the playing point of view as the previous three years. They could not hope to be at the top of the tree indefinitely. Several factors's contributed to the poor season, and the chief was a number of injuries sustained by key men, such as Dean, White and Cook. Dean had a very bad season. As centre-forward he was in the unfortunate position of being the victim of many rebuffs and questionable play in the gaol area, which often went, unnoticed by Referees. He had the misfortune to undergo two operations during the season, and, although the board were of the opinion that he had fully recovered physically, they were convinced the operations had a mental effect, so that dean was not quite satisfied he was fully recovered. After the close season rest, however, he (the chairman) through they could look forward to renewed efforts in first class football from the players.
In the coming season they would have the assistance of a considerable number of young players whose undoubted quality had been noted at the back-end of last season, and after a little more experience they might expect good service and a splendid type of football from them. They were looking forward to the season with considerable optimism, and he thought that twelve months hence the shareholders would congratulate themselves upon another successful season added to the many they had enjoy in the past. The dividend of seven and half per cent, was passed unanimously, as was the re-election of the retiring directors, Dr C.S. Baxter, Mr E. Green, A. R. Wade. The secretary, Mr. T McIntosh, announce the following list of professionals who have been signed: -
goalkeepers, Sager, King, Deighton, full backs Williams, Cook, Cresswell, Jones, Morris, Jackson, half backs, Britton, Gee, White, Thomson, Clark, Archer, Watson (T.G), Griffiths, Kavanagh, forwards Geldard, Cunliffe Dean, Stevenson, Stein, Britley, Dunn, Higham, Coulter, Bentham, Webster, Watson (J.G), Leyfield. Mr. Cuff added that the total of 32 might not be the number they would start the season with if any good players were to be obtained they would make every effort to secure their services. In addition a large number of players had signed amateur forms.

LETTER FROM JACK PEACOCK
Liverpool Echo - Wednesday 27 June 1934
Bee’s Notes
OLD PLAYER’S EXPERIENCES
From Norrkoping (Sweden) Jack Peacock, coach and manager, ex-Everton, writes;-
Sorry to claim a little of your attention at this period—when the Bradmans and Ponsfords are busy—but the Swedish soccer is split into two terms—August to October (April to June), hence the delay. It is a long story, so let me start at the beginning. I came here in March, 1933, on a three months' spec.  Learned that my club, Sleipner I.K., were in great danger of relegation—had nine points front thirteen games; 8 to play, 3 home, 5 away, against the best teams. Officials said a total of sixteen had never gone out of Division 1.  After I saw them play a friendly game I said "Impossible to escape," and felt like returning next boat, but got to work training with them on track and ball.  They said I was a wizard—much too fast for them, when, in fact. I was "a gone goose," as the Yanks say.  Eventually I got some sort of an eleven together, and began league games, and finished with a total of 17 points, but went out (record points) by a 300th part of a goal! I was retained for another year—another Swedish record, as three months is usually the limit at one stretch! Resumed activities in Ostra Division 2, meaning East, July 31, 1933. Won 2, lost 2; won 14 consecutive since, and are league champions, but here's the snag in the system. East and North winners and South and West winners play off; best of two games, for promotion to Division 1. We meet Brage twice in June. We were odds-on favourites till last weekend, when we lost two good forwards, both of whom cannot possibly play in the vital games. One may never kick a ball again, poor fellow; a gem of a centre forward, too. Fulham's manager stated that he was good enough for any English First Division team. Quit true. Better ball control than Hughie Gallagher. Has 23 goals in 17 league games. My inside right, a boy of 19, 21 goals in 18 games—the most dangerous shot I have seen for years. Inside left a £7,000 man, and was supposed to be finished last March. He is thirty years. I told him that I was thirty-two before I reached my best! This inspired him, and he plays for Sweden to-day v. Poland, then goes to Rome to play v Argentine in the world cup. A real Buchan, except poor heading in front of goal. Half backs, splendid; wing halves push the ball along the carpet every time; all three picked to play v Blackburn Rovers this week in Stockholm. My defence is poor. I am now acclaimed the hero of it all! Excuse my trumpet! Of course, if we happen to fail in the play-off against Brage I shall probably get the "Raz."  Foreigners are like that. You have no idea how the coach rises and falls by the results of his team.  I am asked to submit terms for a further year, but, believe me, I am tired of Sweden. Liquor, government controlled, very little amusements of any sort. A Billy Bennett would drive them crazy!  If I could hear of a moderate job in England, I'd run to it! When, in the name of —.are the clubs in England going to wake up and coach? I have six teams under me, all Sleipner I.K.  They range from 1st down to boys 14 years old. I have used a ball more here in a year than I did in all my career in England. Why, I never knew I could shoot till now! I once read in the Echo, re four in a bar—" Fazzy," Chedgzoy, Clennell, and self—that I was the best ball controller ever seen in Liverpool. Joke over! Some of these kids can leave me cold now. Now, in putting down my own trumpet, let me say a word of a chum. Charlie Slade, ex-Huddersfield, Middleshrough, who has spent three three-month' terms in Sweden as coach to "Orgrete. - A Goteborg Division 1 club. He first came March, 1933, returned England June 1; back Sweden July to October, 1933; then from March, '34, till last week, when he finished altogether. He has left behind a first-class impression, and many friends with his club and in Goteborg generally.  By the way, if Ivan Sharpe has not had enough of Europe, following the two recent Budapest and Prague defeats, and has gone on to Italy, will you drop him a line, and ask him to look out for Keller, Sweden's inside left. I admire him for his efforts towards England's football weaknesses. You, my friend, must join in the same pause—keep driving it home as often as possible.  It is imperative that England should coach.  Best wishes and kind regards.
