ENGLISH CUP

MIDDLESBROUGH v SCARBOROUGH

  Despite the fact that Middlesbrough was generally supposed to have a very easy thing before them in this match in the qualifying competition for the English Cup, there was a very fair gate on the Middlesbrough ground. The result showed that general anticipations were correct. The teams were :- Middlesbrough; Goal, Barber; backs Crone and Bell; half-backs, Bach, Stevenson, and Waller; forwards, Wilson, Petrie, Johnston, Allen, and Dennis. Scarborough; Goal, Morley; backs Carlile and Mainer; half-backs, Williamson, Cook, and Beal; forwards, Richardson, J.Richardson, Kidd, Milmer, and Betts. At the start Middlesbrough rushed the ball down, and in a few moments Johnston scored first blood out of a scrimmage. In a few minutes Wilson repeated the dose very smartly for a corner, and five minutes later Allen added a third point the game having been entirely in the visitor’s quarters. Then Scarborough men had a  short break away on the left wing and Crone missing his kick they got through, Betts shooting in a beauty, which, however, Barbour negotiated finely. The venue of play was at once transferred to the visitor’s quarters, where after some hot fighting round the Scarborough goal, the fourth point was notched by Johnston. Three goals came in quick succession to Middlesbrough, Barber, Crone and Bell having sinecures. Petrie scored the fifth point, Wilson the sixth, and Dennis the seventh. Score at half time:-- Middlesbrough 7, Scarborough, 0. On resuming the ball was kept in midfield for a time, and was then worked to the Scarborough fortress, where in saving from Petrie a corner was conceded, which proved barren. Though play held round this end continuously it was fully ten minutes before the score was increased, when Stevenson shot a lofty one through, which Morley, though he fisted, failed to stop. Then Scarborough broke away, and a piece of smart play round the home goal culminated in a good shot by Kidd. Barbour, however, was on the spot, and he rejected cleverly. The game then went back to the other end, and Morley distinguished himself several times by good defensive play. The Middlesbrough shooting became somewhat erratic, and several good chances to score were missed from this cause. The backs and half-backs seemed to be amusing themselves by shooting at goal, instead of feeding the forwards, with the result that the leather was continually flying over the bar. At length, from a well-centred corner by Dennis, the ball was rushed by the home team in a body. Dennis centred another shot, and rushing into the ensuing scrimmage got the ball through the tenth time, and the eleventh goal was scored immediately afterwards by Petrie. Final score:--

MIDDLESBROUGH v. DARLINGTON.

[ENGLISH CUP.]

This was the third meeting between these old rivals for the season. There was a large crowd present when the players faced each other. Middlesbrough :- Barbour, goal; McManus and Crone, back; Bach, Waller and Stevenson, half backs; Wilson, Lendess, Bell, Allan, and Dennis, forwards. Darlington :- Auld, goal; Theakstone, McKenna, backs; McCrimmond Hunter, Hutchinson, Cleghorn, and Daley, forwards. Referee, Mr Sanderson, (Scarborough). The visitors started the play. Hands were soon conceded Middlesbrough. During the play which followed. Then Middlesbrough passed, and Theakstone conceded a corner, but nothing came of the concession the visitors' defence being very good. Following this Wilson and Lendess put in some pretty play, and the latter shot in, Auld rejecting, and Dennis putting back over the goal line. At last the visitors' got up, and Crone was conspicuous by a fine save, Middlesbrough soon forcing the play back into the Skernesiders' quarters. After some even play Darlington got up, and from a scrimmage in close proximity to the home goal, the ball was shot through. The point was not allowed owing to the ball having been handled. From this point Middlesbrough had decidedly the best of the play. From a centre by Wilson, Bell put across to the left and Allan, being well up, received and shot through just inside the post. An appeal for offside was disallowed. Half time was called on the ball being kicked in with the score :- Middlesbrough 1, Darlington 0. On resuming Darlington were quickly attacking, Barbour fisting out a grand shot by McCrimmond. The home forwards got up, and Bell shot in, Auld clearing at the expense of a corner. Then came some smart play, which ended by Theakstone putting through his own goal. On restarting from the centre the Skernesiders got down, and Crone had to clear a dangerous rush. Lendess then obtained possession, and running up in fine style eluded Theakstone, but his shot failed to score, the ball going over. a free kick to Darlington let them in, but Stevenson, ever on the alert, cleared smartly. Barbour had to use his hands shortly after, and at this point of the game Stevenson went forward in place of Bell. Lendess missed a grand chance of scoring when close in, and the Daley had a run down and shot, his kick landing the ball just outside the goal mouth. Cleghorn was given a fine opening, but fiddled about with the ball too long, and he was dispossessed, the danger thus being averted. The Skernesiders made a determined onslaught on the home citadel towards the conclusion of the game, but found the home defence impregnable, and when the whistle blew time the home forwards were swarming round the Darlington goal, Auld saving Finely three successive shots. Dennis was badly winded just before the close by being knocked up against the rails which surround the ground of play. Result:--

MIDDLESBROUGH v. NEWCASTLE EAST END.

[NORTHERN LEAGUE.]

These teams met for their second Northern League fixture this season this afternoon at Middlesbrough. In the first match at Newcastle, the East Enders won by 4 goals to 1, and the home team hoped to revenge themselves for this reverse now they faced the foe upon their own ground. East End, flushed with their second signal victory over West End, came inspired with high hopes of victory and the records of both clubs this season promised a rattling good game. Middlesbrough’s record was, if anything, a trifle the better of the two, the old club having got to the top of the Northern League for the time being, and having a better goal record than East End. To-day the field, despite the rain that had fallen almost up to the time of the game was in somewhat better condition than yesterday, but it was still bad, the water standing about in puddles. There was a gate of about 1,000. Each club had its strongest representation, the sides being:-- Middlesbrough : Goal, Mackay; backs, Crone and McManus; half-backs, Waller, Stevenson, and Bach; forwards, D.Wilson, W.Allan, J.Bell, Lendess, and J.Watson. East End : Goal M.Scott; backs W.Wilson and J.Miller; half-backs, McCurdie, McLaughlin, and McKain; forwards, Creilly, Collins, W.Thompson, McIvey, and McInnes. Referee, Mr Howcroft. East End unfortunately did not catch the train by which they should have arrived at Middlesbrough, and it was about a quarter to three o’clock when they got upon the field. This, however, is quite the usual experience with Newcastle teams at Middlesbrough. On the kick-off “Smiler” at once dispossessed the visitors, who lost the toss, and the home team pressed at once, Wilson shooting into bye behind, and narrowly missing the goal. Immediately after the goal kick the home left ran up again and Watson also shot into bye. The next goal kick was taken over the half line, but here Bach got it and sent in a huge kick which dropped the ball right into goal, Scott saving by a well timed fister. The home lads still had the upperhand, and time after time beat the visitors’ halves and backs, getting the ball up to their goal line, but Allan and Lendess both sent into bye, and Bell was badly grassed as he got right into the goal mouth with the ball. An appeal for a foul was not allowed. Then the visitors broke away, and their left wing got the ball up McInnes taking a long shot, which went behind. Middlesbrough soon resumed the offensive, however, and forced two corners, but each proved barren. Watson’s shots at goal going behind, though his last attempt was a good one, and he had hard luck not to score. Bach was playing a grand game at half, and time after time he drove back the Tynesiders, his last pass in giving Lendess a chance, but he shot just over the bar. Then the East Enders pressed and got round the home goal, Mulvey getting a chance, but shooting into bye. Another attack followed, but Bach upset Mulvey in the nick of time, and again the ball went bye. Still the visitors attacked, but Waller repulsed them, and passing to Allan, the latter and Wilson ran up and Allan shot in a stinger, which Scott kicked out finely. After a little midfield play the home team ran the ball up again, and forced another corner. Watson centred well, but the visitors’ backs were playing a fine game, and the ball was got away. It was soon brought up again, but Watson was slow, and he was dispossessed. Bell got another chance soon, from a fine centre by Allan, but he was slow also, and lost the ball just as he was shooting. Then the Heatonians broke away, and secured two throws in near the home goal line, but could gain no advantage therefrom. Bach getting the ball away. Then “Stivvy,” who had been a bit off, put in some pretty play, and getting the ball on to the home right, Allan and Wilson ran up, and Wilson had to kick out to save. Waller threw in well and Bell, getting possession right in front of goal, slipped the leather smartly through, scoring first blood for Middlesbrough, amid a roar of applause. Middlesbrough again attacked on the restart, but a prolonged pressure ended in Allan shooting behind. However, they were not to be checked, and “Smiler” put in a shot which Miller only partly got away, and Bell being smartly on the spot sent the ball through again, the ball glancing off Scott’s leg as he unavailingly tried to kick it away. Immediately after the home team returned to the attack. Waller dispossessed the visitors’ forwards, and dropping in a shot from the centre line Scott had all his work cut out to stop it. He just prevented the ball getting through but Watson was upon him like an arrow, and banged the leather onto the cross bar and through before it could reach the ground, amid a perfectly deafening uproar. With hands to Middlesbrough after some further pressure, McManus dropped the ball into the goal mouth, and a corner was forced. Waller headed in a good centre, but Scott fisted out and then the ball was shot into bye. Middlesbrough continued to have the best of the deal, and some minutes’ steady pressure resulted in another corner. Wilson centred rather wide, but Waller got the ball and put in a beautiful long shot, and got it through again in the corner. The whistle went for half-time with the home boys still round the visitors’ goal, and the score—

Middlesbrough  . . . . . . . . . . . .  4

East End. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0

 

On resuming McManus let the visitors through with a miskick, but Crone rushed in and saved well. Still the East Enders returned to the attack, and Mulvey, sprinted the half length of the field with the ball at his toe, but only finished up in a bye. The goal kick was taken by Lendess, and he and Watson ran up, but only secured a bye. Middlesbrough returned to the charge, and after some warm work in Wilson’s corner the ball was passed to Allan who shot a long, high shot, but had hard lines, the ball dropping on the cross-bar and bounding over. After a bye on the left wing Allan got another chance, but this time shot a great deal too high. The goal-kick brought no relief, the home lads were soon swarming round the visitors’ citadel again, and Allan forced a corner. This came to nothing, but the ball going to the right wing, Bach shot in a long beauty. Scott rejected, but Watson was on the alert as usual; rushing in, he took a lightning low shot, and sent the sphere through again. The game continued monotonously in favour of Middlesbrough, the home backs never being passed, and Mackay having an absolute sinecure. One attack culminated in a splendid shot by Watson, which Scott negotiated cleverly, and a corner came to nothing. Once the visitors broke away, but still Mackay was idle, Crone and McManus clearing after a sharp toggle in the corner. They passed to Allan and he Watson ran up smartly, forcing a corner. This resulted immediately in another, but Bell headed the second centre over the bar. Lendess was the next shootist, but he sent wide. Then the Tynesiders had a look in, and Mackay took a kick for the first time in the game, sending out a slow shot from McInnes. Middlesbrough then got away, and the left wing attacked, but a prolonged attack ended only in a bye, Watty narrowly missing a score. It was now growing rapidly dark. Watson got another through, but he was given off-side. The game continued round the visitors’ goal, but only a succession of byes resulted. At length, however, a corner was gained, and Lendess getting possession, shot in a beauty, and scored their sixth goal. Then East End attacked, but only got another bye, and Middlesbrough getting up again, another corner was secured, which Wilson centred beautifully. Watson shot, but just missed. Then the East Enders got away, and McManus stumbling, gave a corner, their only one in the game. Middlesbrough immediately pressed again, and Scott had to save two or three times, but the score was not increased. Middlesbrough pressed to the end, when the score was :--

MIDDLESBROUGH . . . . . . . . . . . 6

EAST END . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0

This makes 24 goals to 0 for Middlesbrough this week.

MIDDLESBROUGH V. STOCKTON

[CLEVELAND PROFESSIONAL CUP.]

The match of the district in point of public interest was the struggle between these keen and long-standing rivals for entry into the second round of the Cleveland Professional Cup. Since the Cleveland Cup was started in the season 1881-82, Middlesbrough has held the cup six times, and though the Professional Cup is in reality a new trophy, the old one going to the amateur teams of the district, the new cup has in every sense taken the place of the old one in public interest. Last year the final contest lay between Middlesbrough and Stockton. Middlesbrough, who had begun the season badly, had had the worst of the deal with Stockton up to that time, and had scarcely been expected to beat the Saints in the semi-final. However, getting into the final by the narrow majority of one goal, they had their usual luck in winning the draw for the choice of ground, and just upset the favourites, after a tremendous struggle, by

ONE GOAL TO NONE,

and reasserted their old supremacy. This season the two competing clubs have already met twice. The first match was merely a friendly fixture at Middlesbrough. The latter club, with two exceptions in the forward rank and Waller at half back, had the same team which beat Stockton in the final for this Cup. The visitors showed on that occasion that they had improved their team since last season, for they had the best of the game throughout, and to the chagrin of Middlesbrough’s supporters, ran out fairly easy winners by

THREE GOALS TO NONE.

However the executive of the old club, stung again by a defeat from Darlington on their own ground, determined that the team should not then lose its place in the front rank of Northern football clubs and strenuous efforts were made to import new talent. They were somewhat slow in finding good men, but they were so far successful that when the team went to Stockton to meet their hereditary rivals in the first of their Northern League fixtures, they treated them to a struggle, and returned to the Cleveland capital to receive the congratulations of their supporters on having achieved a fine victory by

FIVE GOALS TO TWO.

The subsequent play of the Middlesbrough team showed that this win was no fluke. Precisely the same team sent the Sunderland Albion eleven home with a stiff defeat – their first in the district – to digest and ruminate upon, while their achievements in recent matches are too much matters of recent history to need setting forth. They are, for the time being, at the top of the Northern League record, and their goal record works out the besting the district, thanks to their holiday matches. Their position in the local records – taking the percentage of wins in the matches played – is also as good as any in the district.

STOCKTON HAVE ALSO DONE GREAT THINGS

This season. The position in the Northern League is such that one win will place them on an equal footing wit Middlesbrough. After being for a time apparently irresistible, they lost to Sunderland Albion, Middlesbrough, and Ironopolis. But men crippled and out of breath accounted for this break in their tide of success, and the way in which they disposed of Darlington last Saturday indicates that they are again – to say the least of it – fully up to their form of the earlier part of the season.

MIDDLESBROUGH COULD NOT PLAY THEIR STRONGEST TEAM,

since their disqualification by Darlington’s protest in the English Cup Competition showed them that they must not play Bell, their centre forward; and Mackay, their clever goalkeeper, had also to be left out of the team. Copeland once more went centre forward, but his displays in the holiday matches did not give much hope of strength in this most important part of the team. Barbour once more took the post between the sticks from which Mackay deposed him, and altogether the home team’s supporters felt it was no odds on their pets, while Stockton had strong hopes of victory, and the balance of opinion was on their side. Still it was as near an even thing on form as possible, and a grand struggle was looked for. The ground was hard and covered with frozen snow, so as to be slippery, and against good form, but the gate  was a big one, the crowd numbering 7,000. Teams :-- Middlesbrough: Goal, Barbour; backs, Crone and J. McManus; half-backs, G. Waller, R. Stephenson, and T. Bach; forwards, D.Wilson, W. Allen, J. Copeland, D. Lendess, and J.Watson. Stockton: Goal, A.McLachlan; backs, R.Shaw and J.W. Welford; half-backs, J. Baillie, R.Chatt, and J. Rothwell; forwards, J. Wood, J. Gray, G. Roberts, W. Evans, and Jones. The umpires were (Middlesbrough), Mr J. Howcroft, and (Stockton) Mr J. Kelleher. Referee, Mr George Hay (Staveley).

THE GAME.

    Stockton won the toss and Middlesbrough kicked off with the sun in their faces. After some desultory work in mid-field between the home left wing and the opposite wing. Lendess got the ball away, and passing to the centre, Shaw had to clear. Wilson then got possession, and

SHOT OVER THE STOCKTON CROSS BAR.

Middlesbrough got possession from the goal kick, and Allan running up well again, took a fine high shot, which, however, McLachlan fisted out cleverly. The Stockton men then broke away, and beating the home defence, they got near the home goal line, where

EVANS TOOK A SHOT

Which went wide into bye. Then Stockton forwards got possession from the goal-kick, and running sharply up the centre Roberts shot in.

BARBOUR FUMBLED,

And nearly let an easy ball through. However he just got it away with at the expense of a corner, but Wood nearly lowered the home colours with a shot which went close behind. Then the home lads took up the attack, and a fine run up the home left was ended by a clinking shot by Watson, which beat McLachlan and scored

FIRST BLOOD FOR MIDDLESBROUGH.

This roused the Stocktonians, who now played up with tremendous energy, and forced the play to the other end, where Roberts shot in. Barbour caught the ball, but Wood charged him before he could clear. He threw away, but Stockton appealed, and the referee held that Barbour was through the goal before he got the ball away, and then

STOCKTON EQUALISED,

The cheers with which this decision was received attesting the fact that there was a large Stockton contingent among the spectators. From the resumption Stockton quickly got possession again, and were soon all swarming around the home goal. Chatt fed them finely, and the result of a most sultry scrimmage was that a sharp shot from Jones got past Barbour, and enabled

STOCKTON TO GET THE LEAD.

There was another great outburst of cheering when this hopeful aspect was put on the slate of the Stockton prospects. The visitors pressed for a time, and then Waller relieved, and the home right got away. Wilson was fouled in the Stockton corner. The free kick led to no material result, and the game travelled to the other end, along the same wing. However, this time the home defence was equal to the occasion, and the visitors were driven back without scoring. Copeland was fouled on the Stockton side of the centre line, and the free kick was landed well in the goal mouth by McManus. After a hot struggle here the ball was headed well out, but McManus was waiting for it, and he shot back, but the ball went bye. The ball was held in the Stockton end for a minute or two, and then the visitors broke away, but their attack was spoiled by

EVANS HOLDING COPELAND

for which the referee gave a foul against the visitors, and the free kick enabled Middlesbrough to get away. Shaw, however, who was playing a magnificent game, repulsed them and they got back to the home end where a miss-head by Crone and a subsequent miss-kick almost resulted in a score. However, Stevenson came in the nick of time and saved. Then Middlesbrough got away on the left wing and after an obstinate struggle with two men

WATSON FORCED A CORNER.

This was not well centred and the ball was got away. Bach, however, again took possession of the sphere, and passing to his wing, they ran up prettily, and Watson took a shot which nearly equalised, but just went bye. However, the home lads would not yet take no for an answer, and they worked up again, and McLachlan had a very hot time of it. Stivvy shooting in a beauty from a ball which McLachlan had rejected. However Mac was on the spot still, and he saved his charge. Then Stockton got away, and then some very rough play was shown. Stivvy got the ball away from them, when he got what looked like a very savage kick from behind, and had to stop for a bit. Then Jones was heavily charged by Crone and lamed for a time, and directly after McManus was so badly hurt he had to leave the field, and Crone had to attend to the back line unaided for a few minutes. Stockton were then whistled back for a trip by Gray, and thus ended

AN EPISODE OF UNPLEASANT PLAY

for the time. McManus now came back, and found the visitors pressing, aided by a free kick for hands. Then Middlesbrough got away, but could not get past the visitors’ backs, and the first half ended with the ball in the centre of the field, and Stockton still in front, with the score—

Stockton. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2

Middlesbrough. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1

Resuming Evans again signalled himself by steady play, Middlesbrough being awarded a free kick for his hugging Bach. This enabled the home team to press dangerously until Bach ended the attack by shooting rather weakly into bye. Middlesbrough returned to the attack from the goal kick, but a foul by Allan gave a free kick, which relieved the pressure. Then the Stocktonians took up the running again, and pressed very hard,

McMANUS SAVING

from a most dangerous rush by Gray, just in the nick of time. They continued to press hard for some minutes, but the home halves and backs kept them at bay for some time until a miskick by Bach gave them a corner. This was well centred by Wood, but Lendess got the ball away, and passing to Allan, the latter and Wilson ran up. The visitors’ back kicked away but Stevenson got the ball, and shot into bye. Stockton got possession from the goal kick and running up smartly Gray nearly got another in, the home backs both being lame, and consequently weak. Bach, however, rushed up, and just turned the shot aside, giving a corner. This came to nothing. Stockton still pressed, however, but McManus began to get his legs better, and he put in some strong defence, and Middlesbrough got away two or three times, only to be repelled by the visitors backs. Crone now went centre forward, Bach going to his place, and “Dack” Copeland taking the latter’s wing at half-back. Stockton were then repelled, and Middlesbrough pressed for some minutes without, however, being able to call upon McLachlan to act. Stockton broke away again soon, and after two shots sent into bye over the home goal line, Gray lost a fine chance he had cleverly made for himself in front of goal by shooting over. Middlesbrough got away after the goal kick, and Crone showed well in his new post, getting through finely, and putting in a low, hard shot which

TAXED McLACHLAN SEVERLEY.

He dropped the ball at first, but picked up and threw out before Crone could charge him. Waller returned well, but the visitor’s defence was again equal to the occasion, and after a hot struggle the ball was once more run to the other end, the ball going into bye from a very dangerous attack, off Roberts’ head. Middlesbrough got away with the goal kick, but their attack was ended by Wilson shooting into bye. Stockton broke away from the goal kick, and ran up to the other end, but McManus repelled them, and Stivvy getting the sphere ran up and passed to the left wing, who got up well, and

WATSON SHOT IN A STINGER

which, however, McLachlan finely rejected. Lendess got the ball, and shot again but only sent into bye. Stockton again ran up, but Crone got the ball and broke through them, but was fouled as he got through, and tripped over. The free kick landed, the ball went in the Stockton territory, but after a hard fight it was again got away. Still the Stocktonians could not get far into the home ground, and Crone was again instrumental in breaking away, and the ball being rushed up the right wing Allan headed in but just missed the goal, the goal going bye although Watson and Lendess charged McLachlan over. Middlesbrough continued to press with great vigour, but the visitor’s backs and custodian were equal to the occasion, and Middlesbrough could not equalise. Stockton got away and McManus, who was still lame, was passed,

GIVING ROBERTS A GOOD CHANCE,

but he shot over the bar. Bach charging him as he shot. Middlesbrough now took up the running again with tremendous energy, and the visitors’ backs being upset and beaten a goal looked a certainty from a combined rush of the home forwards. However, it was not to be, McLachlan rushing out in the nick of time to effect the

MOST MARVELLOUS SAVE

of the afternoon. Still Middlesbrough were not to be disposed of, and looked like scoring until Watson handled, and after the free kick, right in the mouth of goal, play was transferred to the other end. Here Barbour saved well from a very dangerous rush. However, Stockton still pressed, and a foul by McManus gave them a free kick close to goal. This, however, Welford weakly shot into bye. Directly after the whistle was blown with the score still—
