Visiting Celtic Player Acts as Missionary 1931

It was laughable the preparation which the said Charlie made on the Friday night for Saturday's game. It wold be about midnight. In strolls the bold Charles and quite unconcernedly he remarks to Tom Maley- "See what I have won." It was a wrist watch. "For dancing!" volunteered Napier. "Sand dancing?" suggested Tom. "No, waltzing." You will read all about that watch in the Old Country papers when they reach terra firma, Scotia.

The Tale of a Shirt.

Scarff had to borrow a shirt in which to play. The trainer told all the players, whether or not chosen to play, to take their strip along with them and there was one short, one shirt short, no matter whether it was one short shirt.

A spectator was dragooned. He was a very presentable specimen of the male species when he parted with his half-dollar [admission fee], but the same could not be said of him after he obliged with a loan of his "Sunday Best." After the fact was known that Scarff scored five goals, it is a safe bet that the shirt will never be washed.
