EVERTON’S HONOUR
Athletic News- Monday, May 2, 1921
DIRECT ACTION EARNS A POINT AT BURNLEY
CLEVER DEFENDERS
BURNLEY 1, EVERTON 1
By Centaurus
Everton concluded their League fixtures at Turf Moor by securing a well-merited point from the champions. Considering the heat of the day, the glare of the sun, and a strong breeze, the game was exceptionally well contested, and there were periods when the excitement of the crowd was raised to a high pitch. Practically during the whole of the first half Everton were the masters, and it often appeared from the nonchalant attitude of the Burnley side that, having achieved their object of securing the top position, they were content. Adopting direct, methods Everton repeatedly raided the Burnley quarters, and proved far more thrustful than did the Burnley men, whilst the shooting of the front line was more decided and on the mark than that of the Burnley inside forwards. The result was that Dawson was given a strenuous time. Fazackerley especially proving dangerous with first time shots from awkward positions, and had not the Burnley custodian been in hie best form some of the Everton leader's unexpected drives would probably have found the net. As it was he was unlucky not to score, and it was left to CHEDGZOY to profit by a brilliant run by Harrison and to find the net with a magnificent cross shot, which left Dawson helpless. This happened at the end of thirty-nine minutes' play, just prior to which Dawson had aroused the enthusiasm of the crowd by deftly parrying a shot from Reid at full length and, quickly recovering, he was just in time to fist out as Fazackerley whipped the ball back. Burnley had the better of the second half, but it was not until twenty minutes had elapsed that a well-judged pass by Basnett set Kellymoving. The international made one of his lightning sprints which he terminated with an accurate centre, which CROSS, after a tussle with Downs, managed to drive past Fern. This was the prelude to some keen football, but though Anderson got in several good shots he was generally a few inches too high.
A BIG FOUR
The fact that the Burnley inside forwards over finessed in the first half was only one contributory cause to their lack of success, the main reason being the magnificent defence which Downs, McDonald, Brewster, and Peacock set up. Indeed the play of these four was a great feature. Brewster did not allow Anderson to throw him off his game, and his methodical opening out of the game to the wings, and especially his feeding of Fazackerley, was a treat to witness. Chedgzoy, Fazackerley, and Harrison were the most effective of the Everton forwards. Dawson had a day out, and to his sterling custodianship Burnley owe their escape from defeat. The backs were more troubled by the light ball than were the opposition, and they did not keep it on the ground so well. The half-backs all worked hard, but as a line were not quite as certain in feeding in the early part of the game as they usually are, though they improved later on. The forward line was best served by Nesbitt and Mosscrop, both of whom showed neat control of the ball and got in some lovely centres.
Burnley; Dawson; Smelt, Jones; Basnett, Boyle, Watson; Nesbitt, Kelly, Anderson, Cross, and Mosscrop. Everton.- Fern; Downs, McDonald; Brown, Brewster, Peacock; Chedgzoy, Reid, Fazackerley, Davies, and Harrison. Referee; A. Ward, Kirkham.

EVERTON’ STRONG FINISH AGAINST CHAMPIONS
The Liverpool Echo- Monday, May 2, 1921
By F.E.H
EVERTON’S PARTIAL SUCCES
The wind-up of the season so far as Everton’s League engagements are concerned, concluded with an honourable draw against Burnley at Turf Moor. With just a wee bit of luck the Goodison Park brigade should have come away with the full points, for they were certainly the cleverer side when it came to intricate passing and footwork. It was the old and oft reiterated tare of bad finishing that spoiled the general effect. Still, half a loaf is better than no bread, and the Evertonians may be generally congratulated upon having experienced a very successful season. Saturday’s game was exceptionally hard and fast, the baked ground, together with the boisterous wind, making the ball at times uncontrollable. Chedgzoy got his goal from a pass by Davies, and the equaliser was very well worked for. Dawson had a lot of work to do, and he did it very well. The play of the Everton half backs was stimulating, and I noted with pleasure the way in which Brewster proved his powers of defence. Downs and McDonald were themselves- which is saying all that matters. Burnley put up a very stiff fight, but I seemed to me that Boyle was over-anxious, and his long drives at goal did not mend matters. Anyhow Burnley are worthy champions.

FORMER EVERTON GOALKEEPER PASSES AWAY
The Liverpool Echo-Wednesday, May 4, 1921
“Davie” Jardine, notable in his day as a goalkeeper in the Everton Football Club, died at midnight, after an illness of only three or four days. He took a big interest in Wrexham F.C., and his son, who plays for the Welsh side, would have been an Everton player now if matters could have been adjusted regarding the rule which says “players must reside in Liverpool.” Mr. Jardine had international honours in the “eighties,” and was one of the best-known figures in football as it was in the days when Everton played at Anfield. Mr. Jardine, who was once associated with the old Bootle club (then a power in the land), was a handsome man. In later years Mr. Jardine was keeper of the Raven “house” at Farndon.

EVERTON v  TRANMERE
The Liverpool Echo-Thursday, May 5, 1921
Bee’s Notes
Liverpool County F.A. Senior Cup final tie tomorrow at Anfield, 6.45. the fact that Everton and Tranmere Rovers are the competitors is sufficient to ensure a good and exciting contest, and as the match is practically the last important fixture in the season in this district no doubt the attendance will be large, as the interest taken in the local senior competition has always appealed to the football public. Everton are likely to play the same strong side that played in the earlier round, because then they had no option in team-selecting, and naturally it would be awkward to rearrange a side when there are but two games. Tranmere from;- Bradshaw; Stewart and Hayes; Campbell, Leddy, Rainford; Moreton, Robinson, Groves, Prentice and Roberts.

EVERTON RESERVES VICTORY
The Liverpool Echo-Saturday, May 7, 1921
Last night 13,000 people saw Everton Reserves -a strong side, including a number of first team men-win the Liverpool Senior Cup final tie. The result was in doubt right up to the finish, although after Everton had taken a two goal lead and Tranmere had not shown signs of making shooting efforts, there was little doubt about the result. In reality, Everton were the masters of the game as soon as Davies had scored two good goals, and it was their “toying” play that led to a goal against them, Groves scoring through Downs taking liberties, and through goalkeeper Salt helping the shot through. Tranmere, who had quite the better of the opening twenty minutes through swinging the ball about brightly and opening out the game, failed to finish right, and, on the other hand, it was nothing but the brilliant of Bradshaw in goal and Stewart at full back that prevented further goals being scored, Davies in the last phase of the game making a glorious solo run to the left, and, beating three men, wound up with a shot that seemed certain to make a “hat-trick” performance, Bradshaw, however, saved Tranmere were specially strong at half-back, where Leddy, the ex-Irish player, was seen to great advantage in placing the ball with head or foot and in his quick tackles. He is more ready to tackle than to part with the ball. Fairclough too, played a brilliant game. Forward, Groves was out headed by Brewster every time, and Moreton did not shine. The left wing was best, Roberts being deadly in centring. On the Everton side, Salt was not hard-working, the backs being as solid as ever, although Downs made more miskicks than usual. Brown was the best half-back and Jones the one reliable forward. Wall did some nice work and got an offside goal that showed how deadly he could shoot, and Davies came in flashes and scored the winners’ two goals. Teams;- Everton Reserves; Salt; Downs, McDonald; Brown, Brewster, Weller; Jones, Spencer, Davies, Wall, and Smith. Tranmere; Bradshaw; Hayes, Stewart; Fairclough, Leddy, Rainford; Moreton, Robinson, Grove, Prentice, and Roberts. Referee; Mr. Job Davies, Rainhill.

EVERTON RES v STOCKPORT
The Liverpool Football Echo-Saturday, May 7, 1921
At Goodison Park. Teams;- Everton; Salt; Fare and Livingstone; Brown, Caddick and Williams; Goldberg, Spencer, Moffatt, Poole, and Alford. Stockport County Res; Stephens; Graham, and Knowles; Mitton, Cockburn, and Reid; Gregory, Walsh, Gault, Forest, and Danskin. Everton to-day played their last central League fixture against the lowly-placed Stockport team, which included in its ranks Gault, late of Everton. The home team gave a trial to three local juniors in Caddick, at centre half, Goldberg at outside right, and Poole at inside left. Livingstone, Everton’s latest capture also took up the left back position. Everton winning the toss, Stockport kicked off, but the opening exchanges were very quick. The first advance came through the Everton right, Goldberg being dispossessed by Knowles hen about to get in his centre. From the goal kick Moffatt received, and sent in a first-time effort which skimmed the bar. The bulk of play at this stage was in the Stockport half, and when things looked promising for Everton a foul was given against Poole. From the free-kick Stockport compelled Salt to make his first save, gault placing a perfect centre pass to Danskin, who in turn sent in a centre which caused the keeper to clear from Walsh. Again Everton took up the running, the chief work coming from the right wing, and after Goldberg and Spencer had carried play close in the latter player was robbed of his shot by the timely interference of Reid, who just prevented the latter from getting in his shot. More good play initiated by Gault carried play to the Everton goal, and this player, after defeating Caddick and Fare sent in a splendid attempt, which went just wide. Then the Everton left wing had a turn, and Moffatt sent in a good shot, which Stephens caught, but was immediately tackled by Poole, who came to grief along with the keeper, but the latter successfully emerged. Then Alford got possession and sent in a beauty, but when Stephens brought off a clever clearance. The Stockport players were now swinging the ball about to good purpose, and caused the home defenders to be on their best behaviour. Still, Fare and Livingstone were quite safe, particularly the latter, who played a good cool, defensive game, his punting being very clean. The right wing of the visitors was unable to get going chiefly through the fine work of Williams, who held them well in hand. Although Everton enjoyed nearly all of the play. Stockport were the first to score through Forrest, who gave Salt no chance, through a miskick by Livingstone. Half-time; Everton Res 0, Stockport County Res 1.

EVERTON v  TRANMERE DRAW
Liverpool Echo- Tuesday, May 10, 1921
Bee’s Notes
The first games in this Liverpool County Football Association Medal Competition were played at Goodison Park, last night, before a good attendance. Everton and Tranmere Rovers met in the first match, and a hard-fought game ended ina goalless draw, though Everton were much the better side and were unlucky in not scoring severaltimes in the second half.  The first half was only contested, and both teams showed good combination.  Jones and Allman, the Everton wingers, put in many good runs and centred accurately, but the Tranmere defence was sturdy.  Roberts, in the Tranmere goal, had more to do than Salt; this being due chiefly to the fact that the visitors forward line could not got going, and had their attacks continually broke up by Fare and Livingstone. Play opened at a fast pace in thethe second half, and Stanfield and Darragh kept the Everton attackers at bay by fine defensive work, Moffatt finding the latter at centre half a difficult man to beat. Jones was not so good in the second half, and was inclined to dally with the ball. He was well ledby Spencer, who put in a lot of useful work. Leek, the Tranmere inside-right, played well in the second half, but was not backed up very well. Teams;-
Tranmere Rovers; Roberts; Forshaw, Stansfield, Battersby, Darragh. Hagan; Robinson, Leek, Groves, Eason, and Williamson. Everton; Salt; Fare, Livingstone; Brown, Caddick, Barton; Jones, Spencer, Moffatt, Poole and Allman.
The teams will meet again on Wednesday, kick-off 6.30 and play to a finish.

LEDDY, OF TRANMERE SIGNED BY EVERTON
The Liverpool Echo, Thursday, May 12, 1921
Bee’s Notes
Everton have signed on a player of repute-at a reasonable figure. It is a miracle these days to accomplished that feat- but Mr. McIntosh has achieved it. The Everton secretary slipped over to Ireland, and against the opposition of Liverpool F.C, Bradford City, and Stoke, among other clubs, he obtained the signature of Leddy of Tranmere Rovers and Glenavon, the man who was so highly spoken of all through the season, and a man who this column said would grace any class side in the land. Leddy is tall, of handsome build, and looks much more than 25 yards of age, but is one of those that started at fifteen- he was playing with Shelborne those days. He is 6ft in height and weighs 12 ½ st. but more important than all-he uses a ball to advantage when he obtains possession. He will do Everton a lot of good, and Tranmere will need to fill the aching void.
Everton’s list of signings-on leaves out the names of Downs and Fazackerley, as foreshadowed in the “Football Echo” of Saturday last. The amateurs, Howard Baker and J.E. Blair, are expected to give their services afresh, and the following are the bookings for the season;
Goal; Fern and Salt
Backs; McDonald, Livingstone, Fare
Half-backs; Brown, Fleetwood, Brewster, Weller, Peacock, Grenyer, Garrett
Forwards; Chedgzoy, Jones, Reid, Wall, S. Davies, Smith, Clennell, Spence and McGrae.
It is expected that Downs and Fazackerley will sign “anon.”
In the replayed medal tie, last night, Everton beat Tranmere 2-1.
Everton Res (v. Skelmersdale at Goodison Park tonight, 7.35;- Salt; Fare and Livingstone; Wall, Caddick, Barlow; Goldberg, Spencer, Moffatt, Coombe, and Alford.

EVERTON AND MARINE TILT
The Liverpool Echo-Friday, May 13, 1921
Bee’s Notes
To-morrow, at Goodison Park, at 3.30 the tussle between these teams will start and settle the County Medal competition., you will see that the teams are strong ones, and that Everton have first team men engaged. Last night Marine beat the strong Garston Gas team 4-1, and Everton, who played Fern, Stan Davies, (scored two) and Fleetwood, beat Skelmersdale.
Everton; Fern; Fare, Quadrio; Fleetwood, Caddick, Barlow; Goldberg, Poole, Davies, Alford, Young.
Marine; Ross; Shaw, McGowan; Almond, Hawnaur, Conway; Lovelady, Lightburn, Howard, Brown, Conner.
SOUTHPORT SIGN A FORMER EVERTONIAN
Rigsby, formerly of Everton, has signed for Southport. He played for Southport Central about seven season’s ago, and then went to Everton. On the outbreak of war he joined the Liverpool Scottish, and was one of the casualties. Last season he played for Swansea F.C. he takes either of the inside forward positions.

FOREST CLUB'S CAPTURE.
Nottingham Evening Post - Saturday 14 May 1921
SIGNATURE OBTAINED OF PARKER, OF EVERTON.
Mr. R. J. Marsters, secretary of the Nottingham Forest F.C., signed on at Glasgow, last night, Parker, of Everton, the well-known centre-forward. Parker played 17 League matches last season for Everton, and scored 11 goals, being the second highest goal scorer. . Parker is not yet 30 years of age, he is 5ft. 9in. height, and turns the scale at nearly 12st. He went to Everton from Glasgow Rangers at the end of 1913, and should prove an acquisition to the Forest club.

BOBBY PARKER LEAVES THE EVERTON CLUB AND SIGNS FOR NOTTINGHAM FOREST
The Liverpool Football Echo-Saturday, May 14, 1921
EVERTON’S NEW LEFT FULL-BACK
We understand that Bobbie Parker, of Everton, has signed for Nottingham Forest.
Downs and Fazackerley have not yet rebooked for Everton. It is a question of arrangement, and if the players do not re-book, the club will probably bring in the F.A. to decide.
In addition to Leddy, of Tranmere, Everton have signed on Yarwood, the left full back of Atherton. He was chosen for the Lancs. Combination side against the Central League at Tranmere recently. Twenty years of age, he is a “six-footer,” and weighs 12 stone. He was a league player for Bury.
“Give the lads a chance,” a correspondent’s signature, asks why Everton are playing three first-team men in the Medal Competition. He points out that at Crosby recently, Everton “A” beat Marine, yet the team selected for today’s final tie suggests, he says, that someone desires to kill the ambitions of our young players. “B. Fair” writes in similar vein.

EVERTON-MARINE MEDAL FINAL TIE
The Liverpool Football Echo- Saturday, May 14, 1921
By Bee
Everton; Fern; Fare, Qaudrio; Fleetwood, Caddick, Barlow; Goldberg, Poole, Davies, Sharp, Young. Marine; Ross; Shaw, McGowan; Almond, Hawneur, Conway; Lovelady, Lightburn, Howard, Brown, Conner.  Football on May 14 sounds too hot an idea. It was the final tie of the County Medal Competition, and Marine’s success to this stage was a matter of warm congratulation. To-day’s game was warm, too, for though rain was “about” the air was sultry. Is not the season carried too far, ask the public? I should say yes, but the fact remains that big attendances continue to see the games, and on that score alone one would hesitate to say cut the elongated season. However, the players should be considered in this matter. Most of them, where a medal is not concerned would be glad to finish on the last Saturday in April, without having to go through a collection of night matches, no matter how interesting they may become. There was quite a large crowd present, and the enthusiasm was most marked. Mr. Stan Peers referred, and the early stages of the game were very keen. Davies made two strong solo runs that premised goals. His first dribble was full of twists and turns and it was as well-judged run from start to finish but the final shot was pulled wide. When he came the second time the Welsh international player went much to high. Everton did not have matters all their own way by any means and Fern had to make a brilliant save, and finding Howard going quite close.
HOWARD THE HANDY MARINER
Hawnaur was a live worker, and a capable one to boot in tackling and passing, and sure Marine were not afraid to shoot, and one of the best shots of the day came from Almond the half-back, and soon after Marine scored a well-deserved goal as the consequence of a determined effort on the part of Connor. Connor was baulked twice, first having no room in which to shoot and second finding Fern parry his efforts. Howard was handy, as usual, and made no mistake when he put the ball hard to the right hand side of the goal. The triumph of the supposed weaker side was hailed with gusto by the Mariners’ supporters, and they have voices as strong as anything known in the shipping world. You would not call them a noisy crew, for there was justification for the enthusiasm. Goldberg who threatens to make No.2 of his race (Bookman, the Luton player being the other case) to make a name in football, showed good idea, and was particularly clever in a back-heeling affairs. Though Brown was a shade slow to shoot, Marine were certainly quick in their movements and were all energy. It was only their determination that gave them their second goal. The Everton defence stopped playing. Imagining they would be granted an offside decision. No so Howard, who followed up and scored easily, Fern being unable to get near the ball. The Everton keeper had his left hand bandaged.
UNFURLING THE BANNER
One of Marine’s most enthusiastic officials (Mr. Fred Lake) unfurled a streamer of yellow and black, and the Crosby people rallied to the colours. The ladies present lent colour to the scene, and when Ross made a good save from Poole (a likely looking lad), the cheers were enormous. Connor was a thorn in the side of Fare, and made raid upon raid and was never slow to follow up a particle of a chance. Fern was not kicking as well as usual; but he had bene hard worked, and had nasty bumps. To find the name of Sharp on an Everton wing was a reminder of Jack’s old days. The new lad is small, and has some good points, but he found Shaw an awkward man to pass. Everton looked like scoring when Poole put in a shot, and it was only McGowan’s strength of kick that stopped the progress of the ball. Everton used to have a Lovelady on their books, and to-day a player of the same name appeared for Marine, and when the ball was crossed on the left he made a splendid effort with the side of the boot; his partner Lightburn was a tactful player, drawing the defence and parting with the ball at the right time. Lightburn is the player who has assisted Southport.
Half-time; Marine 2, Everton 0
A RUFFLING INCIDENT
Everton began the second half by opening out their play and the result was that Fleetwood had a chance. His shot was a strong one, but a trifle wide. Marine’s left flank soon resumed pressure. Stanley Davies did not get hold of his shots accurately, or else Ross would have been a busy man. One of the marine men showed lacked of control, when he threw down the ball as a protect against a corner kick decision.
MARINE’S DEFENCE BOTHERED
The kick was a great bother to Marine’s defence, the ball hovering about the goal-line for some time. Moreover Davies made another dodging run that produced a corner, and if Poole had not kicked over the ball a goal would have been a certainty. So it seemed yet in view of the next save, made by Ross it would be hard to be dogmatic about the point. It was one of Stanley Davies’ best drives, and Ross edged the ball away, and moreover left his goal to pick up, and after being dispossessed he regained the ball and made another fine clearance. Caddick hurt his thigh and after attention from trainer Cooke play was resumed. There was no debating the falling away of Marine, whose players had apparently run themselves out in the first half. However, Davies seemed to be Everton’s only shooter, and when the home centre drove a dead ball very wide the crowd chuckled. Barlow, the Everton half-back, had some stylish movements and Caddick near by him throws out some promise when one remembers his youth.
NEALY A DOUBLE CATASTROPHE
Sharp was more in the limelight now, and one of his runs was accomplished in neat manner. The referee’s stocking and Everton’s goal looked like coming down at the same moment, the ball bumping on an uneven piece of turf and nearly surprising Fern. Fern tried to put the ball away to safely, and Howard was only a foot out from his hat trick performance. Lightburn made a deceiving shot, but Fern edged against the upright, and Howard missed the greatest of all chances with an open goal through trying to break the net. The game lagged towards the finish, but when the final whistle sounded Marine were comfortable winners. Brown tried hard to redeem the error a moment later on, Fern making a confident save.
SCHOOLYBOYS VICTORY CHEERED
When the Goodison spectators had the pleasure of seeing an “Echo” placard carried round the ground announcing Liverpool schools victory in London, there was hearty cheering.
Final; Marine 2, Everton 0

LEDDY OF EVERTON
The Liverpool Football Echo-Saturday, May 14, 1921
PICTURE OF THE EX-TRANMERE ROVERS CAPTAIN
Our picture shows Everton’s new player, a centre-half back with a reputation for getting the best out of his men, and for having a specially clever way of parting with the ball when he has obtained possession of it. Leddy was much wanted by many clubs, and it is a fact that Everton and Liverpool were keen to beat each other over the Irishman’s transfer. He went over to Ireland last week-end and there was a swift journey after him, with the result that he was booked by Everton. Leddy is in the best sense of the term, a “capture.” He has height, weight, ability to feed and tackle, and though he looks more than his twenty-five years, there can be no doubt about his lasting ability. He much resembles Max Woosnam in appearance, build, and looks, and he plays very nearly as well (says “Bee”), which is high praise.
TRANMERE -SHOCKED!
The news of Everton’s lighting activities in securing the signature of Leddy has left the Rovers’ directors gasping (writes “Prenton”). They are still somewhat dazed, but are now engaged in fathcoming the code adopted by our influential and affluent neighbours in securing this player’s signature. As is well known, the Rovers have been engaged with Everton on several occasions during the past ten days and only as late as Wednesday last the Everton directors welcomed the Rovers at Goodison Park. But not a word transpired about their negotiations with Leddy, and one can realise the knock-out blow our directors received when, less than twenty-four hours afterwards. “Bee” announced the news. The Rovers’ directors are now beginning to ask where they are in all this maze of secret and hustling bargaining. It is common knowledge that Leddy is on Tranmere’s retained list and that terms have been offered, which he neither accepted nor refused. These terms, the directors have bene informed, have been approved by the management Committee of the league, and are based on the suggestions and recommendations made by the Management Committee to all the clubs in the newly-formed Third Division. The directors may well rub their eyes and wonder where they are!

BOBBY PARKER SUPRISE
Sunday Post - Sunday 15 May 1921
Bobby Parker has surprised his friends and disappointed three Scottish League clubs and a London club. The ex-Glasgow Rangers and Everton centre forward signed yesterday for Notts Forest was expected that would sign for Aberdeen, to whom he had been offered for £600, for he had favourable interview with manager that club on Friday. Then Notts Forest folk arrived in Glasgow, and accomplished in an hour or two what the Scottish clubs had failed to accomplish in a fortnight. It may be mentioned now that Parker had been offered to Partick Thistle for £1000, and that Ayr United was the other Scottish club on his track.  Indeed, a few hours before signed the Forest there were four managers in pursuit of him. Notts Forest have paid the official price; for this player, who should still have plenty of first-class football in him. Parker goes off this week a holiday tour in France.
