Skelton Lov bowled five for 31 off six overs in a local cricket match.
Kogarah Congregational faced a severe shock at Kogarah Park and failed to reach a three-figure score as Bond and Willis exploited the high wind. Rockdale, Arncliffe, and Gloucester performances dominated, with notable scores from Osborne, Barringham, and Murray as Mortdale and Sans Souci fixtures swirl in a congested B Grade/Lower grades round.
A Rockdale meeting drew many rugby figures to form a St George District League F C for 1911. Delegates including W Munn E A Martin C Negus and W Logan backed establishing parish boundaries and securing compensation for players. Notices invite supporters to join, with junior medals on display and a busy skiff race and open events schedule announced through March.
Strong southerly seas and gusts up to gale force hampered the St George Club 14 ft handicap race last Saturday. Of eleven entrants eight started. Jessie and Our Own led before Jessie capsized and dumped its crew. George Witchard aboard Our Own kept afloat to finish solo amidst heavy surf and a broken launch engine forced Sans Souci from the course.
W J Battye of Kogarah objects to editorials about the town clerk’s pay and services. He argues the extra pound a week reduces road work funds and questions the value of Truman versus Sydney’s Nesbit. He calls for transparent valuation and notes ratepayers won’t tolerate higher costs.
A letter to The Call criticizes the rush at Kogarah booking office and the tram bridge scramble. The writer cites crowded stairs and stampede risks, urging trains to run earlier or later to prevent a likely accident and calling for drastic safety measures.
