Saturday, October 21 – 1899
Chapman, the esteemed Liverpool trainer, is about to sever his connection with the team. He parts on quite friendly terms with his old masters, and goes with their best wishes to his old club, the Heart of Midlothian. He has been a good servant to the Liverpool club, and it will be no easy matter to satisfactorily replace him.
