JACK FRYER DEAD

Jack Fryer, the former Fulham and Derby County goalkeeper, died in 8t, George's Hospital to-day, at the age of 58. For several years he kept a public-house opposite "the Chelsea football ground.

Like several other Derby play- era, he appeared in three Cup finals between 1898 and 1903, but never, gained a winners' medal. The County, who have never won the Cup were beaten on each oc- casion."

Jack Fryer was a fine figure of a man standing about 6ft 3in. He was an excellent goalkeeper, though while he was a member of the Derby County team in 1903 he had the doubtful "honour of being the goalkeeper who was beaten a record number of times in the FA Cup Final, for Bury beat Derby County by 6-0 at the Crystal Palace that year.

When he came to London to join the Fulham club he immediately established himself as B great

and was favourite,

exceedingly popular with the Fulham crowd. Although he failed to catch the eye of the selectors, he was quite good enough to have appeared in international matches.

Right to the end he took a keen interest in football, and as recent- ly as a fortnight ago he saw the match between Chelsea and Man- chester City at Stamford Bridge.

Jack Fryer had entered" St. George's Hospital to undergo a minor abdominal, operation.

HATS OFF TO WALES! Now for the high-lights of the year,

It has been a Welsh year-a football miracle akin, to the Hud- dersfield Town transformation of 1919-20 when, instead of losing their club to Leeds, they found themselves in the Cup Final and. up in the First Division.

The Welsh decision to try mid- week International matches has suddenly turned to jubilation the sorrows of the Principality's F.A. And they are worthy Champions,

What is more, they have sent a message +through the football camps that, at the time when new resolutions are being framed, is well worth reading.

It is this: Weight doesn't win. Bize isn't everything. Skill tells. Skill and cunning. The Uttle men of little Wales have played foot- ball of the highest class. Hats off to them.

Chelsea have not had much given to them this season, but they recently presented an autographed ball to Clachnacuddin F.C. for a sale of work. It realised £120. Clachnacuddin is a Scottish Junior club. You probably guessed that I hear very good accounts of a young Scottish Inside-left whe played for the Irish League against both the English and Scottish Leagues. He is Devan, of Watford, who is 22 years of age, stands 5ft. sin and weighs 11st. He is not in the Watford League side.
