Winslow Town F.C. (founded 1891; became Winslow United 1895)
Winslow's original football club ran from about 1878 to 1884 (read more). A new club was formed in 1891 as a result of the activities of the Reading Room and its associated cricket club.
NB The results given on this page have been compiled from various local newspapers. The fact that no report appeared for a particular date does not necessarily mean that there was no match played.
1891: Bicester Herald, 23 Oct
FOOTBALL MOVEMENTS AT WINSLOW.- A public meeting was held on Tuesday evening, October 13, at the Parish-rooms, Market-square, Winslow (Mr. Herbert Bullock in the chair), to ascertain the feeling of the inhabitants of this town as to resuscitating the football club which formerly flourished in Winslow. The meeting was well attended. Mr. Pass at the chairman’s request, explained the objects of the meeting and apologised on behalf of the vicar, who had intended to be present. He also added that if a club were started he had been promised support from several gentlemen in the neighbourhood including the Vicar, Mr. Norman and Dr. Creasy the latter being present. The proceedings were business-like throughout, the only difficulty appearing to be as to a suitable ground but no doubt this difficulty will be got over on appealing to the generosity of some of the inhabitants who have always supported anything in the way of healthy recreation for the people of Winslow. It was resolved that this temporary obstacle should not hinder the formation of the club and the election of officers was accordingly proceeded with as follows:- Captain, Mr. Pass; vice-captain, Mr. B. Sanderson; committee, Messrs. H. Bullock, F. Sturch, C. Ingram, Whitaker, H. Boulter, and Wilfrid French (who was empowered to draw up rules, &c.); and hon. secretary and treasurer, Mr. W. N. Midgley, who forthwith proceeded to enroll members a good start being made. It was decided that the club colours be dark blue and white, that the subscription be low (at least for the present), that fixtures be arranged as quickly as possible and that all club notices be posted in a prominent position in the High-street. A hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Bullock for presiding brought the successful proceedings to a well finished close.
A trial match was held on 3 Oct between teams selected by George Pass (National School) and William Warne (High School).
The new club's first match was played on 31 Oct at the Flower Show Field, lent by T.P. Willis. Winslow beat Granborough 3-1.

Winslow Football Club.
The annual business meeting of this Club was held at the Parish Reading Room on Monday night, and the large attendance as well as the interest shown speaks well for its future prospects. The chair was taken by Mr. J. Holding (Magpie Football Club, London), and the first business was the production by the secretary of the balance sheet for the past year, which, showing a small balance in hand, was enthusiastically passed.
The Rev. P. H. Eliot, vicar, was next re-elected President, and Mr. W. N. Midgley secretary, Mr. Pass paying a deserved compliment to the latter by saying it was probably through his care and efforts the balance was not considerably on the other side.
Mr Pass was unanimously re elected Captain, and considerable pressure was brought to bear on Mr. B. Sanderson to accept the office of Vice-Captain. As he declined to do so, however, on account of pressure of other engagements, Mr. Syratt was elected to the post.
A Committee consisting of Messrs. Haynes, Sanderson, Garner, B. [=H.] Bullock, B. Colgrove, and Rev. T. K. Norman, was next chosen.
The secretary then read challenges from- Buckingham (2), Schorne College, Bletchley (2), Cosgrove, Stantonbury Unity, and Wolverton Town- It was decided to leave these in the hands of the Committee, only suggesting that perhaps it might be a difficult matter to get teams for one or two of the more distant matches, unless they could be arranged to be played at home.
The question of shirts was next discussed, Mr. Midgley proposing to adopt half shirts with the club colours, dark blue and white.- Mr. C. Watson seconded- Mr. Sanderson proposed, and Mr. B. Colgrove seconded, the sticking to the old colours, white with a blue band, and this latter was carried by a strong majority.
The question of raising the amount of subscription, which is at present only 1/-, was discussed, but the feeling of the meeting was decidedly against it, so much so that no one would move a resolution in its favour.
A goodly amount of subscriptions was then taken by the Secretary, and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman, proposed and seconded by Mr. Pass and the Rev. T. K. Norman.

Buckingham Advertiser, 31 Dec
STANTONBURY ROVERS V. WINSLOW.- This game was played on Boxing-day, and ended in a fiasco. The Rovers had secured two goals, and Winslow had one, and was just scoring another, when one of the home team accused a Rover of unfair play. This led to blows between the two, and the Rovers rushed off the ground to the nearest public, and were no more seen.

1 Feb: a "Town Team" beat Winslow High School 3-0 on the school ground.

FOOTBALL CLUB.
The annual business meeting of members was held on Friday evening, in the Parish Readinng Room, and was very fairly attended, among those present being- Messrs. Pass (captain), Midgley (hon.sec.), Langley, C. Watson, A. E. [=A.J.] Fulks, E. W. French, G. Midgley, B. Colgrove, etc.
Mr. Pass was moved to the chair, and explained that the meeting was called rather earlier than usual, because football really now began in summer, and it was necessary that the committee should be appointed so that they could arrange matches and begin at once. He then called upon their treasurer and secretary,
Mr. Midgley, who said unfortunately their finances were not so flourishing as might be desired, there being a balance due to him of 15/11, as well as several outstanding bills, the whole showing a deficiency of £3/13/8. He explained that this was partly caused by the club having to pay fares, etc., for other clubs to visit them, because of the difficulty in getting members to play out-town matches, but who were ready to play when the match was at home, also there was considerable expenditure in telegrams to members in getting up the matches.
The Chairman confirmed this, and said he thought it was better to get teams to come to Winslow and thus get a good game, even if they had to have an entertainment or something to pay for it.
Mr. Ingram called in question the action of the captain having so many outsiders to play when there were members in the town who wished to play and were not asked.
Mr. Pass said he was quite unaware that it was so, and instanced the fact that when they sent notices inviting every one to come there were only five turned up, so they were often dependent on outsiders. He should only be too pleased if members would give in their names to him for playing in matches.
Mr. Ingram thought the members ought to be asked, as it was not likely they would go after the captain and tell him they wanted to play.
Mr. Pass said that was the rule, and he appealed to Mr. Langley, who confirmed it.
The selection of officers next took place, when Rev. P. H. Eliot was re-elected president; Mr. Pass, captain; Mr. Sirett, vice-captain; and Mr. W. N. Midgley, honorary secretary, hearty thanks being accorded him for his services. Messrs. Bullock, Saunderson, and B. Colgrove, were re-elected on the committee, with Messrs. C. Watson and J. Budd as new members.
The Chairman then asked for any suggestion from those present, remarking that they wished to make it a popular game for the town. He was obliged to Mr. Ingram for mentioning the matter he had, and added that they thought of arranging some six-a-side competitions, which would give every member a chance of seeing what he could do.
The meeting then broke up with a vote of thanks to Mr. Pass.
23 Sep 1893: Winslow Junior Rovers (at this stage a separate club, apparently associated with the Congregational Guild) drew 1-1 at home to Bletchley Star
C. Ray, goal; G. Mayne, J. Budd, backs; A. Colgrove, J. Elley, J. White, half-backs; J. Langley, R. Yeulett, G. Rose, H. Burdon, S. Midgley, forwards
30 Sep (report in Buckingham Advertiser, 7 Oct)
FOOTBALL.- The handbills advertising a six-a-side competition on Saturday, September 30th, in the Flower Show Field (kindly lent by T. P. Willis, Esq.), brought forth so many entries that it was decided to change the competition into a nine-a-side contest, of half-an-hour each. In the first round, Mr. Dolman’s team had to face a team captained by Mr. Pass, and succeeded in forcing a draw of 1 goal all. The draw was fought off, and resulted in a win for Mr. Dolman’s team, by 2 goals 1 point against 1 goal 1 point. The second round was also very close, and ended in Mr. T. Newman’s nine, beating Mr. F. Young’s by 3 goals to 2. The final round was very exciting, and was won by Mr. Newman’s team, beating Mr. Dolman’s to the tune of 1 goal to nil. Many spectators watched the contests.

FOOTBALL CLUB MEETING.- The annual meeting of the United Football Club was held in the Parish Reading Room, on Friday evening, and was well attended. The Vicar presided, and amongst those present were Messrs. H. Ray (Captain), C. Watson (Secretary), J. Langley, junr. W. Hawtin, J. Keys, junr., F. King, A. White, J. Budd, G. Taylor, etc.- The secretary read the balance-sheet for the past year, starting with a deficiency of 17/6, and showing receipts of £2/12/- honorary members; £2/2/- ordinary members; and 4/- donations; gate money, £1/12/-; total, £6/10/-; while the expenditure (including last year’s deficiency) amounted to £6/9/-; thus giving a balance in hand of 1/-, which the Chairman remarked was most satisfactory. The balance-sheet was passed unanimously. The secretary reported that they played 26 matches, 16 of which were at home, and 10 away, and of these they lost 16, won 8 and 2 were drawn; the goal score being 54 won; and 74 lost. Mr. Pass was the highest scorer, with 10 goals for 10 matches, and G. Taylor second with 10 goals for 19 matches. He referred with regret to the loss the Club had experienced in the death of its President, the late Mr. H. R. Lambton, and stated that Mr. Wm. Lambton had very kindly continued to allow them the ground [i.e. Bridge Field, Great Horwood Road]. He also read a letter from Mr. W. F. Eliot, of Oriel College, Oxford [brother of the Vicar], in answer to one expressing the sympathy of the Club with him in the severe accident which he met with when he brought the Oriel team to [from] Oxford, Mr. Eliot expressing himself confident of its being purely accidental.- The Chairman said that although the accident was much to be regretted, as his brother had to be laid up or go on crutches for three months, and would probably never play football again. Yet he knew he enjoyed the play very much at Winslow, and was quite certain that the injury was caused accidentally by someone passing, and only to be looked upon as the “fortunes of war.” The next business was the election of officers, and on the proposition of Mr. Ray, seconded by Mr. Budd, Mr. William R. Lambton, of Redfield, was unanimously elected President of the Club; Mr. Ray having declined to act as captain again, Mr. Pass’s name was mentioned, but it was stated to be almost certain he would not accept the post, and Mr. W. E. Hawtin was chosen. Mr. Watson stated that he could not possibly undertake the duties of secretary and treasurer for the forthcoming season, and Mr. Stanley Midgley was appointed in his stead; Messrs. Pass, G. Taylor, J. Langley, Geo. Mayne, W. Taylor, and J. Budd, were elected the committee. Votes of thanks to the retiring officers were unanimously passed, and also to the Chairman, and the latter in response, said he was pleased to see they were so enthusiastic he trusted their enthusiasm would continue, and that they would have a successful season.

FOOTBALL CLUB.- The annual business meeting of this Club was held on Tuesday evening, at the Infant School, the Rev. W. F. Armstrong presiding. There was a capital attendance, including Messrs. E. Hawtin, C. Watson, G. Taylor, Kitto, junr., J. Budd, H. Smith, White, W. Jackman, Yeulett, Knight, Morris, G. Mayne, H. Burdon, etc.- The balance-sheet was submitted by Mr. Hawtin, and showed the receipts of last year to be £8/13/10, which included 1- balance from the former year; £2/15/-, donations: £2/8/-, members’ subscriptions; and £3/7/4, gate money. The expenditure was £8/9/6, leaving a balance of £4/4/- in hand. The balance-sheet was passed unanimously.- The next business was the election of officers and Committee. W. Lambton, Esq., of Redfield, was unanimously re-elected President of the Club, Mr. E. Hawtin was elected Captain; Mr. H. Smith was nominated Vice-Captain but he proposed Mr. Hugh Ray and on a show of hands, the latter was carried by a large majority. Mr. C. Watson was proposed as secretary and treasurer. Mr. Watson said he should like the members to clearly understand that if they elected him there would not be so many matches played as last year. His reason for that was that they had entered the league this year, and he wanted them to win it. But if they played too many little matches the players got tired before the good matches came round, and it was impossible to get a good team. On the nomination being put to the meeting, Mr. Watson was unanimously elected, and the Chairman remarked that he evidently possessed the confidence of the Club, although he would not promise to give them all they wanted.- For the Committee the voting was as follows, the first six being elected:- G. Pass, 28; G. Taylor, 27; W. Taylor, 26; G. Mayne, 23; Anstiss, 22; H. Smith, 22; W. Knight, 20; J. Langley, 20; J. Budd, 16; R. Yeulett, 15; Jos. Walker, 14; A. Ridgway, 10.- Mr. Hawtin then proposed a selection Committee to pick the teams for matches. This was put to the meeting, and carried, the Committee to consist of captain, vice-captain, secretary, and Messrs. C. Ingram, G. Pass, and J. Gates.- Mr. Hawtin proposed and H. Smith seconded, that the Club adopt new colors. This was put to a vote, and lost by 15 to 5.- Mr. Hawtin next proposed that the subscription be increased from 1/- to 2/-. Mr. H. Turnham seconded, but an amendment moved by Mr. C. Watson, and seconded by Mr. Kitto, that the subscription remain as it is, was carried by a large majority, Mr. Watson promising to do his very utmost to obtain donations.- The meeting then concluded with a very hearty vote of thanks to the Vicar for presiding.

ANNUAL FOOTBALL MEETING.- The annual business meeting of the Winslow United was held in the Infant School on Wednesday evening, and was fairly attended. The Rev. W. H. Shackel presided, supported by Mr. Clement Watson, hon. secretary and treasurer, and among others present were Messrs. G. Reynolds, H. Ray, S. Midgley, H. Turnham, H. Smith, G. Ingram, jun., H. Varney, &c. Mr. C. Watson gave the balance sheet of the club, showing that it started the year with 4s. 4d. balance in hand; the honorary subscriptions were £4:19:0; members’ subscriptions, £3:12:0; gate money, £6:14:6; sale of fixture cards, 4s. 3d; total receipts, £15:14:1; while the expenditure exceeded this amount by £1:3:8½. The report stated that the Club has played 14 Buckingham League matches, of which they have won 5, lost 7, drawn 2; 4 Aylesbury League matches, of which they have won 0, lost 3, drawn 1; 18 friendly matches of which they have won 10, and lost 8; 2 reserve matches, both won. The total number of goals was 105 won to 107 lost, and the premier place was taken by Mr. Stanley Midgley, with 13 goals for 14 matches. The report and balance sheet were adopted. The next business was the election of officers for the season. Mr. H. Ray was unanimously elected captain, on the motion of Messrs. Reynolds and Turnham; Mr. Geo. Reynolds was appointed vice-captain; Mr. C. Watson hon. sec. and treasurer; and for the committee Rev. W. H. Shackel, Messrs. Pass, Mayne, G. Taylor, Stanley, Midgley, and H. Turnham.- The Treasurer then pointed out that there was a deficiency on the year’s working, and asked whether any remedy could be devised. He said they had 68 members last year, the subscription being 1s. per head, and as he felt that a good many of them could not afford any more, he did not like to propose increasing the subscription for fear of driving them away; but he would suggest that those who could afford it should pay 2s. or 1s. 6d. each; there were a few who paid 2s. last year.- No proposition was made on the subject, and it dropped.- It was unanimously agreed to join the Buckingham League.- A vote of thanks to Mr. W. H. Lambton for being president, and for kindly lending the ground, was proposed by the Chairman, and seconded by Mr. Watson, and concluded the business.

We hear on good authority that Winslow have been permitted to resign from the Buckingham League, want of success and a dearth of players accounting for this unsatisfactory state of affairs.

The Buckingham and District League reported that Winslow United F.C. had failed to pay certain fines under the League rules, and had resigned membership.- The Winslow F.C. is not affiliated to the Association, and it was decided that no affiliated club should be allowed to play against the Winslow club until the fines were paid.- It was also decided to call the attention of the League to the fact that Winslow not being affiliated to the Association, were not eligible for membership of the League.

The Winslow United Football Club commence the season on Saturday next, Sept. 29th, with a friendly against Grandborough. Through the energetic efforts of the officers, the club was able to show a slight balance in hand on last season’s working.
The prospects of the club are very promising as most of the old players are available, with several additions. The club has entered the Aylesbury and District League, and also the Berks and Bucks Junior Cup. For secretary the club has again obtained the services of Mr. H. J. Smith, who, we hear, is to be married on the 16th of October. We wish him every happiness.

Higgens, Esq.) and medals, won by the team in the Buckingham and District Schools’ Cup Competition. Mr. Greaves kindly presented the cup and medals, and each member on receiving his medal was heartily applauded by the whole school. The Rev. W. F. Armstrong in complimenting the team on its success, urged the school to try hard to win the cup outright. A vote of thanks to Mrs. Greaves was very heartily seconded by the children’s cheers. The company included the Rev. W. F. Armstrong, Rev. W. H. Shackel, Mrs. Shackel, Miss Masters and Miss Armstrong. At the committee meeting the hon. sec. reported a balance in hand of £1:7:9 in the General Fund and £1:2 balance in the Sick Fund.

FOOTBALL CLUB.- The general meeting of the Winslow United took place on Monday evening at the Institute and was fairly attended, the Rev. W. H. Shackel taking the chair and being supported by Messrs. R. Stonnell (secretary), G. H. Rowe, G. Hancock, E. Sellars, L. Rowe, H. Cripps, Groves, T. Adkins, etc. The first business was the consideration of the balance sheet, which was as follows:- Receipts- Balance from season 1901-2, £3:11:11; members’ subscriptions, £7:14:6; honorary subscriptions, £6:5; gate money, £5:19:1; received from players towards travelling expenses, £1:14:5; total, £25:4:11. Expenditure- Fee to Buckingham League (and forms), £1:3:3½; fee to Berks and Bucks Cup, 8s. 5d.; fee to Aylesbury League, 10s., travelling expenses, £5:9; referees, £1:15:3; new canvas, etc., £2:2:3; new ball and repairs to net, £1:6; printing and stationery, £1:15:9; hire of room, 14s. 6d.; labour, stamps and sundries (including medical attendance), £2;6:7; fines to Buckingham League, £2; fines to Aylesbury League, £3:6; balance in hand, £2:7:10.- Mr. Hancock called attention to the heavy amounts paid for fines. The Chairman said this was so, but on the other hand, if they had carried the matches through they would have had no balance left. Mr. Hancock said it was very nice to be in the league, but really he thought it was hardly worth the trouble and expense. The accounts were then passed subject to a minute being taken at the instance of Mr. Rowe of a charge for making up canvas which, owing to the absence of the treasurer, who was out of town, could not be explained.- The next business was to consider whether the club should join either of the leagues, the secretary was in receipt of a letter from the Buckingham League secretary on the subject, which being marked private was not read, but considerable exception was taken to one expression in it- viz., that it was hoped the Winslow Club would make an honest endeavour to play out its matches.- Messrs. Cripps, Rowe and Hancock all spoke in favour of confining the play to friendly matches. The Chairman promised to try and get a college team from Oxford, and Mr. Hancock said he would get one from Birmingham. A resolution was carried unanimously to play only friendlies, and it was also decided to have matches on Thursdays as well as Saturdays, the former day being inconvenient for many of the members. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

FOOTBALL CLUB.
The annual general meeting of this Club, for the purposes of electing officers for the forthcoming season, revising rules, etc., was held at the Yeates’ Room on Wednesday evening and was very fairly attended. The Rev. W. H. Shackel presided, and amongst those present were: Mr. H. Cripps (captain), Mr. R. Stonnell (secretary), Messrs. G. Hancock, W. Groves, F. Warner, H. Ray, J. Treadgold, F. Viccars, W. Royce, L. Rowe, etc.
Captain W. H. Lambton, of Redfield, was unanimously re-elected president of the club, the Chairman expressing how much they were indebted to him for the ground, as well as for a handsome subscription.
Mr. Hancock proposed that Mr. Cripps be re-elected Captain.- Mr. Cripps said he would much rather someone else take the post.- The Rev. W. H. Shackel said Mr. Cripps came in at a very bad time and did his best for the club when it seemed likely to break up, and he thought the club could not do no other but show its confidence in him by re-electing him Captain.- This was carried unanimously.
Mr. W. Groves was re-elected Vice-captain; Rev. W. H. Shackel, treasurer; Mr. R. Stonnell, re-elected secretary; and the Committee was elected as follows:- Messrs. G. Hancock, Stan. Midgley, H. Ray, G. Rowe, F. Viccars, G. Taylor, and W. Royce.
The Secretary announced that he had fixed eight matches, including Bicester, Fenny Stratford, Stantonbury, Aylesbury, and Brackley, and had challenged two more clubs, but he had not heard from them yet.
It was considered that the club would probably be in a better financial position than last year, and accordingly it was decided to cancel the rule that each playing member pay 6d. for each match at home or away, and substitute for it that the club pay all travelling expenses.- The subscription was fixed at 2s. for adults and 1s. for boys under 16.

The annual meeting of the United Football Club was held in the Institute on Wednesday evening and was capitally attended. The Rev. W. H. Shackel occupied the chair, and was supported by Messrs. W. Wise, W. French, H. Ray, C. Cripps, Goss, G. Hancock jun., H. Smith etc.- Captain W. H. Lambton was unanimously re-elected president of the club. For the office of captain there were two nominations, Messrs. E. Waler and Hugh Ray, but the latter was elected almost unanimously. For vice-chairman Messrs. F. Stonnel [Stonell] and G. Hancock, jun., were nominated and the latter was elected.- The Rev. W. H. Shackel said he was very sorry he could no longer act as treasurer as he was leaving the town. Mr. W. Wise was accordingly elected treasurer. Mr. Attwool was appointed secretary, in place of Mr. Ray (who had taken the captaincy), with Cyril Walker as assistant. The committee was chosen as follows:- Messrs. Goss, G. Hancock, sen., C. Cripps, T. Smith, G. Taylor, R. Wise - The balance-sheet presented by the Rev. W. H. Shackel showed a balance in hand of 5s. 4d.- It was decided to join Division 1 of the Buckingham District League, also to join the Aylesbury District League, on condition that there were two divisions and that Thursday matches were played.- A vote of thanks to the Chairman for all he had done for the club, and regretting that he was leaving, was passed.- Mr. Shackel in reply, said although he should be too far away to render them any assistance he should still take an interest in the club and should watch the newspapers to see how they got on. He hoped they would all pull together and support their officers and then they would get on all right.
1905: Buckingham Advertiser, 14 Oct
Much sympathy is felt and expressed with Mr. Stanley W. Midgley (one of Mr. T. P. Willis’s clerks), who had the misfortune to split his kneecap, on Thursday afternoon at Winslow whilst playing in a friendly game with the Winslow Football Club. He and another player named Hancock collided together, not particularly hard, but Mr. Midgley received the force of the collision on his knee and the sound of the breakage could be heard all over the field. Mr. Midgley was taken home on a stretcher, and there it is feared he will have to remain for at least six or seven weeks.

FOOTBALL MEETING.- The general business meeting of the Winslow United Football Club was held at the Institute, on Wednesday evening, when there was a fair muster of senior members and a large number of juniors present. Mr. Goss occupied the chair and was supported by Mr. W. Wise, Mr. W. A. Attwooll, etc.. The balance-sheet was presented by Mr. Wise who said that although he and the secretary had done their utmost to keep within the mark, he was sorry to say there was a deficit instead of a balance in hand, for although the receipts were better than last year, on the other hand their expenses were more. They had received from honorary members £5 6s. 0d.; ordinary members £5 13s. 0d.; from players towards travelling £4 3s. 0d.; gate money £9 1s. 9d.; for four shirts sold 12s.; guarantee fee returned 18s.; total £25 13s. 9d. The expenditure was: general expenses £1 9s. 4d.; travelling and hire £12 0s. 4d.; printing and stationery 16s.; gate keeper and materials £2 17s. 2d.; referees £3 2s. 6d.; affiliation and registration fees £2 18s. 8d.; secretary’s postage 14s.; six shirts 18s.; new ball and repairs 10s.10d.; bills outstanding £2 12s.6d. The deficit was £2 5s. 6d. The Chairman in moving the adoption of the accounts said he did not think they were at all bad considering the number of matches they had played and that they had gone in for the League. Mr. Attwooll seconded the passing of the accounts and they were carried.- The Chairman said they were pleased to have received a letter from the president, Captain Lambton, stating that he had no complaints to make with regard to the use of the ground and wishing them a successful meeting.- Mr. T. Adkins then proposed that the first meeting for the ensuing season be held on August 2; this was carried and concluded the business.
Buckingham Advertiser, 11 Aug

"It is natural that Winslow should not like being beaten by a village, but it was a pity that the contingent of Winslow spectators, and even the team itself, could not refrain from abuse of the referee."
Buckingham Advertiser, 29 Dec
FOOTBALL- GRANDBOROUGH v. WINSLOW.
SIR,- I notice in your last week’s issue a report of the Grandborough v. Winslow football match, stating that the villagers have defeated the town thrice and have drawn once. It is true they have beaten them, but not by superior play. They have twice met in a friendly, and in each case the Winslow team was a scratch one, chiefly composed of unexperienced players. It also remarks about the abuse of the Winslow players and spectators (not only them, but others), but they had good reason in doing so.
Thanking you for space in your paper, FAIRPLAY Winslow, 22 Dec., 1906.
