SURPRISE FOR OLDHAM I hear the signing by Kilmarnock of Thomson,

a junior outside right from Kilwinning, came as something of a shock to certain officials of Oldham Athletic.

The Latics had been impressed by this winger's form and had practically completed arrange ments for his transfer." Then came the news that he had gone to the Scottish League club.

TAKING PRECAUTIONS

The other day in the Mid-Wask League game a club was very, very wary. They played a young out sde-rght under an assumed, name, And that, too, notwithstanding that the player has signed amateur forms' for the club. "".

Perhaps the, reason for this great caution is that the boy is a player of exceptional promise. He looks like Stanley Matthews did a year or two ago.

AN EASY RECORD

That fee paid for the transfer of Reg Baines, the Sheffield United centre-forward, was easily a record for Doncaster Rovers. The fee didn't need to be a big one to be a record.

In seven years the Rovers have spent only £150 in the transter of players from League clubs. £100 went to secure Wilkinson from Shefeld Wednesday and £50 for Jock McHale, the Aberdeen centre- half.

BLACKPOOL TALENT

The Welsh club, in fact,, were bound in an agreement with the Wolves. An exchange of players didn't silt that agreement. It had to be all transfer fee. Half the fee goes to Molineux.

SACRIFICED SUMMER WAGES

I should say there aren't many football players keener on their j football than Jack Pears, who is doing well for Sheffield United fol- lowing his transfer from Preston North End. Here's a sample.

After Jack had been at Oldham for a season the Athletic decided to given him a free transfer. Jack got to know that the club couldn't

afford to pay him close season wages. On the receipt of this in- formation he went to see Bob Mell- or, the Boundary Park secretary, and told that gentleman that if close season "pay, was the trouble he would re-sign without getting any. The next season Jack' was about the best forward on the "club's books.
