reserves:

The named reserves were The Wednesday FC's Tom Brittleton and Swindon Town FC's Harold Fleming, Evelyn Lintott, who had already featured in this tour, would also have been a reserve.

team notes:

There were numerous changes from the original named line-up, Fleming replaced Everton FC's Bert Freeman and Bridgett replaced Manchester United FC's George Wall. Neither of which travelled. Richards replaced Bradford City FC's Evelyn Lintott.
Vivian Woodward came straight from captaining the England Amateur side against Switzerland and France. First player since Spiksley in 1893 to score hattricks in two consecutive matches.
Bob Crompton extends his tally as England's record appearance holder, in this, the most experienced team and oldest team that England have fielded thus far.
This victory expands on the new record of nine away victories in a row - and the first time England have played on a Tuesday.

    Match Report

IN OTHER NEWS...

It was on 1 June 1909 that an ocean-to-ocean automobile race began from New York, ending in Seattle, where the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition was being staged. The cars could only be driven during daylight hours, they had to negotiate a snow-covered mountain pass in Washington State, they had to cross a lake by ferry, and the roads outside of towns and cities were often mere mud tracks. 23 days later, a Ford Model T was the first to arrive in Seattle, only to be disqualified some five months later when it was discovered that the engine had been changed during the race.
