100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Football protest put down by Somerville skipper Compiled by Cameron McCullough After Somerville so narrowly missed victory on Saturday last, there were some of Somerville’s enthusiasts who thought that Somerville ought to lodge a protest against Frankston playing its one-time skipper, Bill Cain. Somerville alleged that it was an injustice to include one who had not played three qualifying games, as they allege that Cain played only two games – one against Dromana on May 21st and one against Somerville on August 14th. Despite the majority desiring to protest, the Somerville skipper, Hutchison, was strongly against it. “No. I’ll not sign any protests.” he remarked, when questioned by the writer. To the writer’s viewpoint, Hutchison’s sporting spirit was too strong to permit his signing the protest, and yet Somerville would be acting rightly if the charge against Cain was proved to be correct. Frankston denies the charge. Somerville sports remarked that if Cain was eligible on the two games, as they allege, Somerville would have been justified in playing Percy Thornell, who had only played two senior games. Be that as it may, Somerville goes out—creditably. Whilst discussing the subject, it may not be out of place to chronicle the fact that one Somerville supporter assured me that be had a note from Cain, in black and white, admitting ineligibility. It has been remarked here that no
IN THE
such letter exists. If these notes come under the optics of that sport, will he post it to me, if he has it, to print in these notes? Another discomfiture to some Frankston sports was the including of George Patterson at the last moment when he had not been selected, in Major Condor’s place, in preference to Eric McComb, who had been selected as first of the emergencies. There may be something in it. But we recorded the fact some weeks previously that most likely Patterson would be available for the semi-final and final matches. After Somerville’s defeat, the Frankston skipper, McCulloch, congratulated Somerville’s skipper, Hutchison, on the remarkable game Somerville played. Pleased as he was, McCulloch was sufficiently imbued with the sporting spirit to acknowledge the gallant fight the Somerville stalwarts had fought. “You played all over us in the last term,” he admitted to Hutchison, who returned compliments by a hearty hand shake. *** THERE are 15,456 electors on the roll for Mornington electorate as against 14,722 in 1917. *** MESSRS J.

proposes to interest himself in land. In Essendon. Mr Macmaster was an active member of the Horticultural and Literary Societies, but was best known as President of the North Essendon Progress Association. The association originated in the fight for the Keilor Road School, Victory crowned their efforts, and the fine building erected by the Education Department has just been opened. During the years of Mr Macmaster’s presidency the Association had the satisfaction of seeing two fine parks presented to the council, of erecting a shelter shed, of making countless minor improvements, and of seeing the district advance by leaps and bounds. Mr Macmaster has been interested in land and journalism for very many years, and in exceptionally wide connection with the press in four of the six States gives him an almost unique opportunity to call attention to the needs and attractions of the district in which he resides. Mr Macmaster’s removal to Frankston is primarily due to family reasons. Mrs Macmaster organised a branch of the Red Cross in her own home, and Miss Dorothea Macmaster is a well known pianiste whose recitals have been very successful.” We welcome Mr Macmaster to our district. A business announcement from Mr Macmaster appears elsewhere. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 27 August 1920
