MILLINGTON FLIES.
June 1, 1925. The Liverpool Echo.
Knowing what Millington could do on the track, I am not surprised to find this new Everton player from Wrexham and Oswestry winning the big sprint at Manchester on Saturday and taking the £100 prize and the medal. Millington shocked a lot of the Palatine members, but they could not have known that this footballer of nineteen years of age has been looked upon as a productive Powderhall handicap winner. He was good enough to turn up to run at the "silent" match at cadby Hall's ground, but it was a fiftby night, and it was difficult to him, opposition to him through other footballers being ill and so on. It was plain that we missed a treat. However, perhaps Millington will turn up again at some future affair and if he does I can see him landing the spoils.

EVERTON AFFAIRS.
June 2, 1925. The Liverpool Echo.
"Old Blue" writes: - he was glad to see that the "sack the lot" side was squashed at the Everton meeting. Such drastic measures are not necessary. I have been an ardent supporter of Everton for 25 years, and in that time I have seen some of the finest players, individually and collectively that ever stepped on to football field. It is through this high standard of play that the present display seems crude. Since the war Everton have not been the same; they have played good football in parts. You hear people talking about "They want a new trainer manager, etc." Personally, I can't see these persons have anything to do with the playing ability of the team. There are a dozen first class teams in the League who are in the same position as the Blues but their turn will come again, it is a long lane etc. I am glad to see that the enthusiasm of the Everton supporters remains through the storm, judging from the big gate of the past season. Who knowns but what we may see the old Everton spring up again from the eruption.

DEATH OF FORMER FULL BACK
Liverpool Echo - Thursday 04 June 1925
SOME MEMORIES OF ALEC DICK
Bee’s Notes
Alec Dick is dead.  The news will set the old-time footballer taking for hours.  Alec Dick was a really great back, whose style of play was not always of the gentlest.  He was only a wee fellow, but in very truth was a terror for his side, and many an opponent had stories to tell about his mesmerisms.  Alec Dick! The name rings off every tongue.  He was the hero of the story of Caesar Jenkyns, a whopping fellow, who was then with Small Heath.  He was told to “mark Dick”  He had not seen him before and when he was told which was his man Caesar bumped him and bored him to the point of exasperation.  At last the unoffending man asked, “what’s this about?” “Well,” said Caeser, “You’re “Dirty Dick,’ ain’t you?”  “Not likely, that’s him, over there!”  He and Denis Hodgetts used to have many a tilt, but Alec always had a good friend alongside him in George Dobson, who retired but a year ago from business life.  He was always a local –he played for Stanley before joining Everton in the early eighties, and his fame spread all over the land.  In a game with Queen’s Park he got across Dr. Smith, and it was said that he was dared to go to Scotland or the Midlands, and he would then see what the “home folk” would do to him, but he was conveniently out of the team for these occasions.  There must have been a spirit of deviltry in Dick, for he was without a shadow of denial a great little full back.  He had a long and painful illness, and his death yesterday was in the nature of a merciful release.  The funeral takes place at Anfield Cemterary, tomorrow, at 11.30.

TYPIST’S STRANGE EXPERIENCE
Liverpool Echo - Tuesday 23 June 1925
The sudden and strange way in which the disease attacked a Liverpool typist is thus record;-
She left her office on Saturday at midday and remembered nothing further till she recovered consciousness in bed.  In the meantime she had gone to the Everton football match, paid her entrance money, taken her place on the stand, and while sitting there had fallen unconscious.  She was picked up and brought to hospital.  On admission there was no evidence of injury, and it was possible to rouse her to answer questions in a slow, monotonous voice.  The patient ultimately recovered and returned to her duties. 

EVERTON TO SIGN SOUTH AFRICANS
June 25, 1925. The Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury.
The Everton Club is reported to be signing Murray and Riley of the South Africa Football side that made a tour here last season. Interviewed the "Everton Chairman (Mr. WC Cuff) said" The statement is absolutely premature. We have been in negotiation with the players named, and also with another of the side, but at the moment nothing has been settled, and I am sorry any statement should have been issued. Some of the tourism were plainly anxious to come to live in England and expressed that view to us. There is nothing to be added at the moment, one may come, two many come, and none many come.

EVERTON SECURE MURRAY.
June 29, 1925. The Liverpool daily Post and Mercury.

Everton consider they have done well in securing Murray, who is a strong and clever centre-forward, who greatly impressed the critics at Goodison Park last season. Murray it is said, would have signed on them, but the tourist were bound to return home to complete the contract they had signed. Riley signed for Liverpool.

CHEDGZOY AS GOLF PRO
Shields Daily News - Tuesday 30 June 1925
Sam Chedgzoy, the Everton and English international outside-right, has during the last two or three summers gone to Canada to coach the football team of the Coldstream Guards. This year, however, he stayed at home, and developed his play at the royal and ancient game of golf, which he is more than useful.  It is probable that when his football days are over Sam will secure an appointment as a golf professional, and Neil McBain, the Everton centre-half, are close companions in both games, and Neil was offered the berth of professional one of the Liverpool golf clubs early this year.
