Echo 24th. May 1913 sporting gossip |
The Hanover Skittle Club familiarly known as the |
Oxo' team concluded season 1912-13 by |
sitting down to supper at Headquarters, where |
they were joined by a few friends in a gathering |
nearly forty strong, presided over by the Hon. |
Secretary of the League (Mr W.T.Leonard). After |
an excellent display of knife and fork drill and the |
toasting of the Royal Family. "The Hanover Club" |
was proposed in a humorous vein by Bill Seward |
Vice-President.) and supported by the Chairman. |
Response came from the club captain (Mr F. |
Bridgeman), asst. secretary of the League and |
Host Mr. C. Baker ( hon. treasurer and of the founder |
of the League), who obtained second place in the |
seasons averages. During the evening harmony . |
was contributed by Messer's F. Kear, Cliff Davis, |
L. Fry, E. Welch, W. Seward, C. Baker, |

Cheltenham & District Skittle League |
PRESENTATION OF CUP AND MEDALS |
The remarkable growth in popularity of the |
Cheltenham & District Skittle League was plainly |
shown in amount of playing members |
of the various clubs comprised therein who |
attended the function of presenting the cup and |
medals at the Royal Hotel, High Street on |
Tuesday evening. A couple of hours in a hot room |
on such an evening as Tuesday would not appeal |
to the majority of people, skittlers are nothing if |
not enthusiastic ,and a company of upwards of |
120 put up with the discomfort the heat was |
responsible for, and attended to do honour to |
those who had achieved sufficient to gain the |
prizes. Mr Luther Short, the popular president, was |
regrettably prevented from attending, but Mr W. |
Seward ( vice-president) made an excellent |
deputy. He made a very important announcement |
in the course of the evening, one which was hailed |
with considerable satisfaction by skittlers, who |
have said some unkind things about the 'pot' |
which has so far been completed for as the |
challenge trophy. He informed the meeting that Mr |
.Charles Dickins the local well-known tradesman |
had offered to present to the league the silver cup |
which once belonged to the old Air Gun League, |
and promised, if his offer was accepted, to have |
the same re-engraved. Doubtless, as the Chairman |
remarked ,the committee will have no hesitation |
in accepting. The cup in question is a very handsome |
piece of workmanship, and originally cost 25 guineas |
After this interesting announcement the prizes |
were distributed, and appended is a complete list |
of the recipients :- |
