BIRMINGHAM DAIRY F.C.
Birmingham Dairy F.C. concluded their fixtures in brilliant style, beating a strong London and North-Western Railway Company team by four goals to one. For the winners, Kendall, in goal, gave a capital display, while Rushton, Chandler and Phillips were in meritorious form. The proceeds of the match are to be divided among local charities.
The Dairy would like to play the Birmingham Colts or an Albion team in a match for blind soldiers. Mr. G. Franks, secretary, c/o Dairy Company, Dalton-street, Birmingham, would like to hear that his challenge is accepted.
