Lord's itself was at its very best, the turf looking more luscious than it has done for years past, the wicket just sufficiently difficult to make things interesting, and the persis- tent and delightful pop of the cork of ginger-beer bottles re- mind one that this was a great occasion. At the close of this happy day Middlesex with four wickets down still required 250 runs in order to win.

Middlesex, surely, with a score- board reading 131 for six wickets when play was continued in the morning should have been able to pass the 200 runs made by their opponents. The wicket was eased for the moment rather than harm- ed by the sunshine and there were plenty of balls which offered runs. J. H.

He Helped The Club To

Turn Professional

A practically unknown page of London Soccer, history, and the history of the Arsenal Football Club in particular, has been brought to light by the death of William B.. Jackson.

It seems that Mr. Jackson, more than anyone else, was res- Introducing ponsible for the Arsenal turning professional, and

the professional game to London. He was one of the founders of the club and its Arst chairman after 16 became professional (writes an "Evening News" representative)..

Yet while the club in recent years had been "going from one triumph to another he had been living in comparative obscurity just a mile or two from the High bury ground.

DIAL SQUARE Mr. Jackson was one of the small band of adventurers in No. 2 Gunshop at Woolwich Arsenal who formed what was at first known đa the Dial Square football club. David Danskin and J. W. Hümble" were better known members of that party, but it was Mr. Jackson who, as an Arsenal delegate, had many duels at FA meetings with the late "Pa" Jackson, founder of the Corinthians, and, at the time, opposed to professionalism, v

Mr. William Jackson was chair man of the club from 1892-94, but he dropped out of football on the death of his first wife in 1895.

HIS SHILLING

He lived at Greenwich until two years ago, when his daughter took a atnall business at Matthias-road, Stoke Newington, only a mile or two from the Highbury ground.

Here he lived until his death, and whenever possible pald his chilling to watch the Arsenal, with the thousands surging round him quite ignorant of the fact that he had played such a big part in the formation of the club.
