The headlines included the Kaiser criticizing an Assyrologist who wanted to replace the Old Testament with the Nibelung, a Grimsby fisherman being sentenced to death for murder, two schoolgirls killed in a tram crash in New Jersey, the Billiards World Championship match being arranged between the champion H. W. Stevenson and the challenger Dawson, and a man being charged with the theft of the dog of Olga Nethersole.
Meanwhile, up at Peel Croft, home of Burton United, Bob McRoberts scored the only goal of the game with 10 minutes to go, to put Small Heath clear in second place in the Second Division.
And that was the last time, before today, that we had beaten a Burton side in the League.
