Bob
Crompton extends his tally as England's

Match Report |
At Wrexham yesterday England
added to a long list of victories over Wales at Association football,
gaining a victory by two goals to none. Generally disappointing, the
game, though ending in a decisive win, did not prove satisfactory from
an English point of view, much of the football being indifferent, and
the lead gained in the first half, which decided the result, scarcely
gave a fair indication of the play. Wales during this period were often
dangerous, the English defence being very moderate at times...
...Evans got away and centred.
Wedlock took the ball from Peake, passed to Jefferis, who sent Simpson
off on the right. The Welsh defence all crowded across, and the
Blackburn Rover centring, Holley was left a clear opening, of which he
made full use...
England largely controlled the
play, and from a pass by Jefferis Freeman dribbled robustly through the
centre and beat Evans...

IN OTHER NEWS...
It was on 11 March
1912 that the cross-examination of Frederick Seddon and his wife,
Margaret continued. The pair were accused of murdering their 47-year-old
lodger, Eliza Barrow by poisoning her with arsenic in order to inherit
her money, having persuaded her to change her will, only the day before
she died. Three days later, his wife was found not guilty, but Frederick
was convicted, and hanged, the following month.
