THE NEW CAPTAIN. West Bromwich Albion have had a disastrous start to their new and their supporters are getting impatient. The visit of Grimstly Town to the Hawthorns to-morrow is vested with unusual importance, for three successive defeats have given the Midlanders a nasty setback. Interest in the match will be quickened by the changes which have been made, and also by the fact that the captaincy now devolves upon Harry Chambers. Shaw, who followed Reed.

having been desirous of being labeled of the responsibility. Chambers is easily the most experienced player in the side, and occasionally captained Liverpool, so that he is not new to the task. It is worthy of remark that three other players in the team have captained Albion at one time or another, these being Shaw, Magee and Carter. The changes involve the dropping of Cookson, wboAas scored but one goal in four games, and the restoration to his 'old berth of James. Howarth's absence is due to an injury which he sustained spinet Notts County, and it is a curious circumstance that Rix.

who would probably have been called upon, is injured. as is Temperley, the club's other, left-half. Darnell, who played in the forward line at a few First Division matches two seasons back, is brought into the vacancy. Albion's team will be: Ashmore; Finch, Shaw; Magee. Evans, Darnell; Glidden.

One might eay that O'Neill loot the championshin through his Irish temperament.

Though on the outward half did not play with quite the consistency of Weston, he. too, 'was out in 35. thanks to a brilliant two at the 240 yard eighth, where he drove the green and holed his putt. He encountered serious trouble first at the 11th. where he pnt his second in the rough to the right of the green, and.

hacking the ball omit, went over the green into more rough at the other side. He regietered here a six instead of the expected four. WHEILDON IN TROUBLE. At the next hole. too.

Wlieildon met trouble. He hooked hi. drive into the brook and had to pick out and it was by a good long approach putt (it must have been at leapt 20 yards) that he only one stroke here. iilieildon drooped another stroke at the 15th. where he again hooked his put hie next into a bunker guarding the green, and took three putts.

Yet another stroke was dropped at the 17th, where he cverren the green with his approach. At the short 18th Wheildon needed a two to tie. He was nicely placed on the green with his tee shot. hut. going out for the putt and missing it, lie ran some distance past the hole, and took two more putts to got down.
