On Wednesday, Liverpool and Chester will meet in their Liverpool senior cup tie at Anfield. On Thursday, Liverpool and Bootle, play the testimonial, for the benefit of D Kirkwood, the ex Evertonian and late captain of Liverpool Caledonians, at Anfield. Kirkwood, it will be remembered, had his leg broken in November last, while playing for Blackpool, and is still on crutches, being for the present at the Convalescent Home, Walton.
