EVERTON NEWS
Athletic News- Monday, July 3, 1922
Neither Grenyer or Chedgzoy have, as yet appended their signatures for the Everton club, and as but three new players have been signed during the close season, there is not likely to be much change from the old brigade when the season comes round. The players are due at Goodison Park the first week in August, and on the 5th will have their annual outing, this time to Windermere. Practice games have been arranged for the 16th and 19th of August.

DEATH OF AN EVERTON F.C. DIRECTOR
The Liverpool Echo-Monday, July 3, 1922
Bee’s Notes
I deeply regret to announce the death of Mr. Charles E. Dickinson a director of the Everton F.C for a year only, but for many years connected with the club. He was in the prime of life, and leaves a widow to mourn his loss. He was formerly the licensee of a house right opposite the ground and many times was of great help to the officials in the days when the club did not possess the Sumption administrative and dressing accommodation it does today. Charles Dickinson was in the estimate of some, the male “Bunty” who pulled the strings of the Everton syndicate. It is certain that a grievance some years ago led him to take a very practical interest in the club, and this culminated in his election over a year ago. Mr. Dickinson retired from business, but feeling that he could not be idle he opened out in a new line so that he should not rust, and as showing his business acumen he succeeded in his new venture almost instantly. Now he has passed away. He was a straight handsome fellow. What more could I desire to say of any man> May he rest in peace.”

COBBLERS’ NEW OUTSIDE LEFT.
Northampton Mercury - Friday 07 July 1922
PAGE OF STOKE SIGNED ON
THe Cobblers have made an important capture, the signature Louis outside-left, of .Stoke, having been obtained. Page has had three seasons with Stoke and was in the first team a few weeks after the Cobblers met Stoke in the English Cup last January. Stoke were anxious to retain his services, but he declined to sign, and he was placed on the transfer list at a big figure. Page appealed to the League, who have given him a free transfer. He only 21 years of age and is a well-built player, standing 5ft. 8in. and weighing list. His home is at Liverpool, and in 1918 he played for Everton in the Lancashire Section of the League. Page went to Stoke outside-right, but showed great skill on the opposite wing, and it is believed the Cobblers have made a big capture
