Ross' transfer not straightforward

Since the Liverpool club signed him on from Preston, Jimmy has exhibited a reluctance to carry out his bargain with his new club. A note appeared in the papers the other day that Jimmy was determined not to play for Liverpool on any account, chiefly because his brother, the late famous Nick Ross, had on his deathbed expressed a desire that Jimmy should not desert the North End, for whom they had both been playing for the last ten years. This being the case, the relations of Jimmy Ross towards the Liverpool club are at the time of writing somewhat strained and awkward, but as he has duly "signed on", and as the Liverpool club have paid some £75 down for his transfer, the probability is that if the Anfield people wish to press their claim (and a prominent official told me the other night that they see no reason why they should not do so) Jimmy will be found duly in his place on the fine Anfield sward when Aston Villa opens the season for the Liverpudlians in two weeks‘ time.
