YOKER CUP FINAL – PARTICK THISTLE v SIR JOHN MAXWELL. At Yoker, and resulted in a win for the Partick Thistle by two goals to one disallowed to none. In the first half the game was pretty even but neither team scored. In the second half the Thistle completely hemmed in the Sir John, but owing to the gusty wind, only scored thrice – one being disallowed. The Sir John only crossed the centre of the field once in this half. The Thistle now having won this cup three years in succession, it becomes their property.
