notice as a boy of 14, and bis aignature was dily appended to an amateur form.
A couple of years ago he became a professional, but the few tals with the reserves did not suggest, that his early promise would be fulfilled; he was allowd to go to Peterborough:
There he was still watched by the Tottenham scout who had faith in him, and eventually the boy was brought back to gain experience with Northfleet. But it is less than a month since he first played serious football t full-back. He thought. himself an outside right.

PERSISTENCE PAYS-
The football season is six weeks old, and that is exactly the length of time which Manager McCracken of Millwall, has spent in trying to persuade Bradford City to transfer Alexander.
Apparently the Bradford people got tired of seeing McCracken at There is talk of him playing for the office so frequently, and saying although born in Staffordshire, henger increased his offer last week at cricket, for "No," so when the Millwall man- can do so under the rule which the Bradford officials said "Yes." enables e Minor Counties cricketer
Alexander will be in the Millwall to associate himself with the nearest team very soon, but he did not play
against Bradford City as the ar rangement was part of the contract. it is expected that Millwall will sign another forward with a reputa tion very soon.
BIRMINGHAM'S, TURN
It is rather unusual to find Birmingham with two players in the F.A. team to meet Ireland, and the Villa without one.
TALL TOTTENHAM TALE The story which has been circülat-
Many of Birmingham's supporters were expecting to see Stoker "get his cap, and would not have beened that Tottenham Hotspur had refused an offer of £10,000 for surprised had Morrell been chosen. Willie Evans should not be taken

Hong Kong, but it was good to see R. N. Hamilton, who made a big score against us in 1998, again. He is the captain and what little I saw of him at the nets impressed me no end. He was hitting very hard and timed his shots nicely, but the other members of the side showed that they found the wicket a little strange.
D. B. Gill, a brother of Lall Singh, the popular Malayan and All-India cricketer, who was here with the last Malayan team, was the first to have a knock. He was not changed as I understand the luggage had not yes arrived, but be showed that he possessed a very fine pair of wrists and a good eye. I liked his square cut, taken rather late, but he also smacks the bell hard in front of the wicket.
A USEFUL BOWLER L. Alvis, the baby of the side, did not feel too comfortable, perhaps, due to the strange light and wicket.

and the result is that they are a little slower.
The team enjoyed the trip up al- though the weather was not exactly ideal. They did a lot of catching practice on board, but for obvious reasons there was not much batting to be had. When asked whether they will find the weather here too cold for them, one of them smilingly remarked that "we can get used to anything."

FULHAM'S MISFORTUNE Fulham have been left in an unfortunate position. Quito recent ly they transferred Newton, their centre-forward, to Reading, and in the match with Hull City at Craven Cottage on Saturday Abel, who took his place, was injured.
Shortly before the interval he fell awkwardly after colliding with an opponent and was assisted from the field. A few minutes after second half had started a notice was sent round the ground that Abel had fractured his collar-hone.

An item of football news which suggests that it pays to keep one's eyes open: At the start of this season goal-keeper Burrows was out of a job.
