EVERTON BEATEN AT HOME.
SUNDERLAND'S CLEVER WIN.
It was Everton's lot to be beaten by a better side on Saturday, the meeting at Goodison Park between Everton and Sunderland producing the best game of the season at the local ground. Both sides played excellent football. Everton started well, and in the initial half play was fairly even. The best of the game however, was seen in the second half, when Sunderland not only demonstrated their superiority, but gave a clever and brilliant display. There was a great similarity in the styles of the respective sides, but whereas Everton did not improve upon their good opening work. Sunderland developed their game to such perfection that before the end they were easily the more finished and skilful side.

The game was thirty minutes' old when the first goal was scored. Gault was brought down in the penalty area and Macconnachie scored from the penalty kick . This followed a capital effort by Travers who finished a fine run with two hard shots that brought Mitchell twice to his knees before he could get the ball away, Travers was more fortunate with the next attempt when he drove in a long ground shot that travelled just out of Mitchell's reach into the corner of the net. Buchan was really responsible for the goal, as it was the inside man's clever pass that gave Travers the necessary opening. Both sides put more dash into their game after the interval, and the Everton defenders were often sorely tried to keep out the Sunderland forwards, whose perfect and dexterous footwork enabled them to get the maximum effect from their work. Buchan was the mastermind, and in the closing stages he rounded off his fine work with two clever goals. At eighty-two minutes Buchan passed skillfully to Best, then placed himself in the Everton goal to accept the return. Best responded to the opportunity, and Buchan smartly headed the ball into the net. Two minutes from the end Buchan again beat Micthell. The Everton custodian made a praiseworthy attempt to save his charge, and by leaving his goal stopped Buchan'as first shot; but before he could recover, Buchan deftly lifted the ball over Mitchell and then touched it into the net. Although Mitchell was one of Everton's best performers, he rather clouded his work by failing to get the ball away at the first attempt. Macconnachie and Weller had more to do than they could successfully manage, and the half-backs were the best on the Everton side. The Everton forwards were very uneven, Miller gave an improved display, but there was little cohesion on the right wing, Jefferis being rarely in position for combined work. Kirsopp was not a success on the extreme left, and both Gault and Clennell were easily held. Buchan and Best made a splendid wing, while Travers did useful work in the centre. There was an excellent understanding between the Sunderland half backs and forwards, and further behind Hobson was very sound. Teams: - Everton: - Mitchell, goal, Macconnachie, and Weller, backs, Fleetwood (Captain), Wareing, and Grenyer, half-backs, Miller, Jefferis, Gault, Clennell, and Kirsopp, forwards. Sunderland: - Allen, goal, Hobson, and Young, backs, Cuggy, Sherwin, and Poole, half-backs, Best, Buchan, Travers, Mordue, and Martin, forwards.

EVERTON'S CHANGES.
October 9, 1919. The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury
Changes are again the order in the Everton team for Saturday, when the Arsenal are due to visit Goodison Park. Fern reappears in goal, Page and Weller will be the backs, and Chedgzoy and Harrison return to the forward line, Kirsopp again figuring at inside right. The Arsenal will be without their usual goalkeeper, Williamson, who will be playing for England against Wales at Cardiff.

EVERTON BEATEN AGAIN.
ARSENAL'S CLEVER WIN.
In spite of the fact that Everton had to acknowledge defeat for the second successive Saturday on their own ground the contest with Arsenal will stand as one of the most exhilarating and sterling displays of the season. It would seen that Everton have at length solved the difficulty of their outside wing position for the inclusion of Chedgzoy and Harrison added vigour and freshness to the attack. Everton gave a capital display, and at times their work was really brilliant, but at times their work was really brilliant, but Arsenal went a shade better, and the evenness and balance of the latter carried them to victory in the last few minutes of the game. Play opened vigorously, and both sides quickly settled down to their work, which from the outset was maintained at a fine pace. The improvement in Everton's attack was early obvious and several well-directed centres from Chedgzoy gave the Arsenal custodian an opportunity of showing his skill. The Arsenal forwards responded with clever work, and early on Groves missed a fine opening when he failed to net the ball with Fern on the ground. Gault hit the upright with a lighting drive, and a shot from Rutherford shared the same fate with Fern knowing little of the whereabouts of the ball. Everton scored at the end of thirty minutes, Gault heading through a beautiful centre from Harrison. After Fern, had fumbled the ball round the post for a corner, White got an equalising goal. The ball was well placed from a corner, and Buckley's long grounded drive was blocked, but White's returned the ball, which beat Fern, and it rolled over the line before the Everton custodian could grasp it. Fern was a busy man in the second half. And so too, was Dunn for both sets of forwards displayed a fondness for shooting from the slightest opening, for shooting from the slightest opening. At sixty minutes Chedgzoy gave Everton the lead for the second time with a delightful shot. Chedgzoy took the ball from a long pass, and turning inwards shot hard and true with his left foot, the ball going away from Dunn into the corner of the net. Ten minutes later White again equalised, Page hesitating to clear when the opportunity offered. The pace never slackened, and in the closing stages Arsenal made a big and successful bid for victory. Rutherford opened the way, and with Weller only checking the Arsenal forwards the ball came out to Blythe, who with a first time long drive sent it into the net.

FINE GOALKEEPING.
The changes in the Everton attack made the line a more penetrating force. Chedgzoy and Harrison was excellent, and if the latter had been given more opportunities in the second half better results might have accrued. The inside forwards –Kirsopp and Clennell –were the weak link. They could not keep pace nor work to unison with the outside wingers. Still, there was a vast improvement upon previous games, and the fact that Dunn was the busiest man on the Arsenal side was sufficient testimony to the deadliness of the forwards. A little more understanding and cohesion between the wingmen and the line should be an ideal one. Grenyer's absence was felt as Williams found Rutherford and Groves much too crafty and clever. Both Weller and Page made mistakes, and their work generally did not touch high class. Fern, although injured during the second half, made some clever saves, and was very safe with high shots, but he did not appear too comfortable with low drives from close range. Dunn, who deputised for Williamson, was the most conspicuous figure on the Arsenal side. He displayed wonderful confidence, and although the woodwork saved his on several occasions, he did splendid work. There was method and ability in the defence of Shaw and Bradshaw, and the half-back line was very strong. The forwards played clever football, and if they had a fault it was slackness in finishing off their excellent preliminary work. Teams: - Everton: - Fern, goal, Page, and Weller, backs, Fleetwood (Captain), Wareing, and Williams, half-backs, Chedgzoy, Kirsopp, Gault, Clennell, and Harrison, forwards. Arsenal: - Dunn, goal, Shaw, and Bradshaw, backs, Graham, Buckley, and McKinnon, half-backs, Rutherford, Groves, White, Blythe, and Toner, forwards.

EVERTON GAIN A POINT.
FAST GAME AT HIGHBURY.
Disputed goals are almost of necessity, adjunets to keenly contested encounters. Everton's experience at Highbury on Saturday was the reverse to satisfying with regard to this particular point. It was contended by practically every member of the team that the Arsenal's goal was in fact spurious one. A spontaneous and unanimous appeal was made to the referee, but he decided in favour of the Londoners, and so Everton had to rest content with a division of the honours. There was not, it is true very much to choose between the teams, though the visitors were quicker on the ball and more accurate in their short passing than in Highbury contingent and on the general run of the play they ought to have succeeded in obtaining a victorious verdict. The Arsenal forwards set a good pace, and in the initial stagest they were dangerously aggressive. Once the Evertonians had settled down. However, their command of the fine points of the game became apparent. The work of the half-backs was worth witnessing alone, and to Wareing and his wings the first honours of a strenuous struggle must go. Play had proceeded something like twenty minutes when the tactics of the Everton forwards met with due reward. Grenyer, with that disposition which characterises much of his play, was lying well up, and he sent in a long drive to Williamson, who left the goal in order to achieve a clearance. In this he was only half-successful, and in the subsequent struggle Gault got his head to the ball and netted. The visitors thus held the lead when the interval came.

In the second half the Arsenal forwards redoubled their energies, and Rutherford and Groves made repeated thrusts at the Everton defence. The first named player, who works wonderfully well was particularly dangerous, and it was he who led to the equalising goal. Groves taking a pass shot with considerable strength, and the leather to the average spectator appeared to strike the underpart of the crossbar and rebound into play. Mr. Crosthwaite the referee held that it had struck the inside of the network, and had therefore crossed the fatal line. In the circumstances he did not hesitate to allow the point. Everton's performance in every department was quite satisfactory. The inclusion of Harrison and Chedgzoy made for material strength, and their work on the two outside wings commanded the admiration of the crowd. The inside men were not always as effective as they might have been, but they were well in the picture. The halves were as great as ever, and if Weller was occasionally a liitle sharky at back, he made a very useful partner to Macconnachie. Fern also acquitted himself well. Teams: - Arsenal: - Williamson, goal, Shaw, and Hutchinson, backs, Graham, Buckley, and McKinnon half-backs, Rutherford, Groves White, Blythe, and Toner, forwards. Everton: - Fern, goal, Macconnachie, and Weller backs, Fleetwood (Captain), Wareing, and Grenyer, half-backs, Chedgzoy, Kirsopp, Gault, Clennell, and Harrison, forwards. Referee Mr. Crossthwaite.

CENTRAL LEAGUE (Game 7)
The first meeting between these teams at Blackpool ended in a defeat for Everton by 3 goals to 0, but on Saturday at Goodison Park the home side reverse the result winning by 3 goals to 1. Strengthened by the inclusion of players who had been service with the League team, notably Miller Robinson, and Donnachie, a great improvement was shown in the Everton attack. G.W. Jones, whose proper position is outside right, was tried in this centre, and he adapted himself very creditably to his new position, distributing the ball with judgement to his wingmen, who sent in many telling centres. Robinson opened the score with a fine header from a centre by Donnachie. Marsh equalised five minutes later from a pass by Hunter, but just on the interval Robinson gave the home side the lead. The second half was well contested, and after Bromilow had saved from Appleton and Morecroft, Robinson scored again and completed the hat trick.

HARRY MAKEPEACE RECALLS THRILLING MOMENTS
October 24, 1919. Evening Telegraph
A Last Minute Score in Cup Race
Famous International Visits Dundee
Harry Makepeace, the famous Everton half-back and Lancashire County cricketer, who visits Dundee this week-end, was born at Middleborough on August 22, 1882, and he went to Liverpool with his parents when he was about eleven years of age. He early showed a rededication for football as a career, and gained a reputation as an amateur in school and junior football Leagues around Liverpool. His enthusiasm for the game and his undoubted cleverness gained him local notoriety, and in 1902 he signed for Everton. His reputation was allied with that of the well-known Merseyside club until the season of 1914-15. The cloud of war made soldiering the great game of the moment, and Harry readily answered his country's call. He joined the Air Force, and while stationed at Farnborough found opportunity to play in several “Soccer” matches.

His First International
In 1906 he played for England against Scotland at Hampden. This was his first international match, and incidentally it was the occasion of a bad stroke of luck for him. After only ten minutes' play he had the misfortune to sustain somewhat severe injuries. England played on, and lost the match, and Harry attributes their failure to the fact that his accident naturally disorganized his side. He has played altogether in four international matches, three at Hampden -1906, 1910, and 1912 –whilst in that year he also played against Wales. He regrets he has never had the fortune to be on the winning side against Scotland. Makepeace recalls among the outstanding events of his football career the match at Farnley in 1906 between Everton and Newcastle. Newcastle were hot favourites, and had a very strong team. Excitement ran high, and there was great speculation as to the result of the match. The early stages of the game seemed to indicate that the teams were very evenly matched. Everton's supporters knew no bounds to their enthusiasm when their old centre forward, Sandy Young, put through the winning and only goal of the match.

Everton's Best Side
Harry recalls with pride that at this period Everton had a very fine team; in fact, he considers it the finest side they ever had. For four years they were in the semi-final, and for two years in the final for the English cup. Strangely enough, he says, it remained to Jimmy Galt to lead them safely through a final to the proud holdership of the Cup itself. Many are the little incidents of interest which occurred during that historic period in the history of Everton, which Harry Makepeace recalls with pleasure. He is a keen critic of the game, and holds strong opinions as to how it should be played, which he is not afraid of expressing. His favourite position with the team, is at left half-back, and it is in that position that he has generally distinguished himself, though he recalls one occasion when he played right half-back to some tune. In fact, he refers to that occasion as the outstanding performance of his career. It was in the year that Everton won the Cup. They were matched against Bradford City, and considerable anxiety was entertained as to the outcome of the game owing to the fact that Everton had, owing to unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances, to play a weak side. They, however, put up a characteristic fight, and a few minutes before time neither side had established an advantage. Harry tells how the directors were on the stand discussing the replay and arranging the date. Suddenly the atmosphere became tense with expectation hope, and fear. The ball had come down rapidly on the Bradford City left wing, and there looked to be every chance of a goal. “I ran in and got the ball at my toes; rushed it through and scored one minute before the whistle sounded. I have been told, and I can well believe that the directors who were not enthusiastic at the idea of a replay were beside themselves with joy when they heard the shout, “Makepeace has scored”.”

County Cricket
Last season Harry found a new interest in County cricket and quickly showed promise of good things at the summer game. He is a very sound batsman and an excellent man on the field. He says he considers there are good prospects for the future in cricket, and he thinks the game is starting on a new lease of life as a national pastime. In the few games at football which he has played recently his knee has troubled him, and he does not consider the risk of permanently disabling himself justified him in playing again, just yet. Cricket, he finds, he can put the whole of his energy into, and he says he intends to make it his game in future. At the same time he retains his keen interest in the game which he has played so well, and which has provided him with such a wealth of interesting memories.

EVERTON 3 BLACKBURN ROVERS 0 (Game 901)
October 27, 1919. The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury
EVERTON'S HOME VICTORY.
ROVERS WELL BEATEN.
Success over Blackburn Rovers brought Everton their first home win since September 8; when they defeated Bradford. It took Everton nearly an hour of hard pressure to wear down the Blackburn defence and score their first goal. Afterwards Everton were easy masters, for, although the Rovers did well in the first half, they were outplayed in the second half and victory went to the better side.

The Rovers missed their best scoring chances in the first few minutes of the game. They made a good start, and had the advantage over their opponents, particularly in the forward line. Right from the start the Blackburn forwards went away, and a simple passing movement left Orr with the ball right in front of Fern. A moment; s hesitation on the part of Orr and Fern threw himself at the Blackburn man's feet and prevented the shot taking effect. It was a daring movement on the part of Fern, but it saved the position for Everton. Fern was even dazing later on, when Rigsby got through from a nice pass by Wedster. Rigsby got in his shot, the ball hitting Fern and going over the crossbar for a corner. Fern was injured, but recovered, and although he had little work afterwards, he probably altered the whole trend of the game by these two masterly saves. Meantime, Robinson did excellent work in the Rovers goal, and his aureness of catch helped him considerably. Once he caught the ball at the corner of the goal as it cannoned off Walmsley's body, and there was a loud appeal for a goal as Robinson appeared to carry the ball over the line before clearing. Then he made a glorious one-handed save to a hard drive from Gault, and shortly afterwards Millar sent a beautiful ball right across the Rovers goal with nobody in position to touch it into the net. After Duckworth had cleared badly by mis-driving a centre from Donnachie over his own goal, Kirsopp scored the first goal at fifty-seven minutes. Donnachie provided the opportunity and the Rovers defence showed weakness in allowing Kirsopp time to take deliberate aim, which meant a certain goal, as the Everton forward was so well placed that Robinson had not the slightest chance of getting to the ball. Wareing ought to have got a second goal, but he sent the ball high over the bar when right in front of Robinson. Clennell scored the second point at 65 minutes, and again Donnachie provided the opening, while at the 89 minute Gault scored the third and easiest goal, which Duckworthy might easily have prevented but for the fact that he was facing his own goal as the ball was passed across the goalmouth. Although the game lacked tone, both sides played hard, earnest football, and the Everton forwards displayed greater steadiness and sureness in front of goal than did the Rovers' forwards. To this quality Everton owned their success. The Rovers forwards spent their energy before they reached the shooting distance, and were consequently very weak in front of goal. During the first 60 minutes the Rovers backs were excellent, but they were often beaten in the closing stages. Miller and Kirsopp made a better wing than Clennell and Donnachie, although the latter much to do with the movements that led to Everton's goals. Gault did good work in the centre and was a deadly shot. Fleetwood was forceful but the half-back line was not as constructive as the Rovers' middle line Smith doing capital service in this direction. Weller gave a sound display, and had no superior, but Page was only moderate. Teams: - Everton: - Fern, goal, Page, and Weller backs Fleetwood (Captain), Wareing, and Grenyer half-backs, Miller, Kirsopp Gault, Clennell, and Donnachie, forwards. Blackburn Rovers: - Robinson, goal, R. Walmsley, and Duckworth, backs, A. Walmsley, Smith and Bradshaw, half-backs Holland, Rigby, Orr, Hawksworth, and Webster, forwards.

Everton's new secretary
From Athletic News, 27 October, 1919.
There can be no disputing the fact that in securing the services of Middlesbrough's manager, the Everton Football Club have accomplished a fine stroke of business. Mr. T.H. McIntosh possesses rare intelligence and judgment in signing up young and promising players. As a youth Mr. McIntosh played right half-back for the Darlington club in the Northern League from 1895 to 1902, when he was appointed secretary. Under his guidance the club came on by leaps and bounds, and, after being loaded with debt for years, Darlington found itself in a sound financial position. Professionalism was adopted, and the climax was reached when the club defeated Sheffield United in the first round of the FA Cup.

Among the many fine players discovered for Darlington by Mr. McIntosh may be mentioned Richard Jackson, for many years of the famous Sunderland team; the late R.G. Brebner, the renowned goalkeeper; David Taylor, who rendered magnificent service for the Heart of Midlothian; and E. Owens, the Bristol City centre-forward. In July, 1911, Mr. McIntosh was appointed secretary-manager of Middlesbrough. Since then the Tee-side club has never looked back, and the wave of peace and prosperity continues to this day. Among the captures for Middlesbrough were James Windridge, the Chelsea wizard; Stewart Davidson, once the pride of the Aberdeen F.C.; and Andrew Wilson, a Scottish junior 18 year-old player, who was destined to play for Scotland. Mr. McIntosh was born at Sedgefield, Durham, and at early age went with his parents to Aberdeen, where he lived for many years before re-crossing the Cheviots.

On the outbreak of war, Mr. McIntosh joined the 12th Yorks. (Tee-side Battalion), and eventually secured commissioned rank. Twelve months ago, he was mentioned in dispatches. He will commence his duties with Everton early next month. His departure from Tee-side is much regretted, as he is held in the highest esteem. By the way, the Everton Club have further solidified their position by deciding to purchase the premises behind the Upper Deck goal stand, known as Goodison Avenue. Some years ago they bought the property behind the opposite goal, in order to be able to increase their accommodation when a suitable time arrived. They are now prepared for any emergency.

Everton thoroughly deserved their victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park, their superiority throughout the game being f anything more marked than the score of 3-2 in their favour would indicated. They made a good start, and had the advantage over their opponents, particularly in the forward line. Greater cohesion and consistency than their efforts of the opposing quintette, Robinson, and Chedgzoy being an especially dangerous pair marked their attack. They gave Boothman, the Rovers right back many anxious minutes. Everton led at the interval by two goals to nothing; Robinson having both to his credit. Shortly after the resumption an offence by Peacock gave the home team a penalty, which Byrom converted, but it was not long before Chedgzoy gave his side another goal. Near the end the Rovers made several spirited attacks, and in one of them Green scored. The Everton defence was good all through, Bromilow in particular, being prominent for a number of really excellent clearances.

Two new Everton players will make their debut on Saturday in the Central League match at Goodison Park with Blackburn Rovers Reserves. They are both half-backs –Slade, from Southampton, and Hunter from Scotland. Miller returns to the second eleven, Chedgzoy being again chosen for the League team, in which Harrison will appear at outside left instead of Donnachie.

EVERTON NEW SECRETARY.
October 31, 1919. The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury
A Middlesbrough correspondent states that Mr. Tom McIntosh, secretary and manager of the Middlesbrough Football Club, has been appointed secretary of the Everton Club. The resignation of Mr. McIntosh from the position of secretary-manager of the Middlesbrough Club came as a great surprise to football followers in the Teeside district. Mr. McIntosh has occupied the position for eight years, and expects to take up his new duties at Goodison Park at the beginning of Decemeber. An old Darlington player, Mr. McIntosh managed the affairs of the Darlington Club prior to obtaining the Middlesbrough appointment. During the war he served in France with the Yorkshire Regiment, and was granted a commission.
