Second League Match . SOUTH SHIELDS ENTERTAIN STOKE . ( By " WANDERER " ) . Fine weather favoured the visit of Stoke to Horsley Hill , South Shields , this afternoon Bcth tears are favourably placed in the League , and when they met at Stoke , last week , they played a goulless draw . Prior to this afternoon's game , South Shields had never defeated the " Potters . " There was one change in the South Shields team from that previously announced , Richardson being called upon to deputise for Walker , who was in disposed . The only alteration on the visit . ing side was the inclusion of Kelly at inside . right . to he efclusion of H. Davies . The teams were : South : Shields . - Richardson : Crewn . Rob son ; Wilson . Hard , Hutchison : Matthew son , Snuitn . Hetherington , ( xberry , Brown . HAD IT EN WEMBLEY ! A HALTERUNG Thev'd have got something for their money , eh , Mac ?
