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, |
| B. Crowther, G. Prewer, etc., the proceedings |
| terminating with the usual thanks to the ladies |
| who had assisted and the chairman. |
| Mr S.Tibbles officiated at the piano. |

| 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 :- |
