# 1937–38 Stoke City F.C. season

The 1937–38 season was Stoke City's 38th season in the Football League and the 24th in the First Division.

It was a very up and down season for Stoke as they began well beating Derby County 8–1 in September to take them to the top of the table. However the season was dominated by a contract dispute between the board of directors and that of Stanley Matthews. Stoke's form dropped and they ended up being in a relegation fight which was won thanks to a 2–0 victory over Liverpool on the final day of the season.

## Season review

### League

The family atmosphere within the club was still thriving, with the directors encouraging players to pay a 'thrift scheme' which would help the club financially but they received a major jolt when Stanley Matthews disputed the level of benefit to which he was entitled at the end of the season. Matthews did in fact refuse to re-sign for the new campaign stating that a player of his standing should receive the full £650 benefit rather than the normal £500. As a result Stoke held him to his previous contract and Matthews was 21 days over the deadline before signing.

There were no major close season transfers, either in or out of the club but like previous seasons this proved to be no bad thing as the 1937–38 season got under way and, after a fine 8–1 victory over Derby County in mid September Stoke climbed to the top of the league. Sadly though as in the past injuries again interrupted the managers team and formation plans as both Freddie Steele and Charlie Scrimshaw suffered long term injuries. In November 1937 Stoke accepted a £6,000 offer from West Bromwich Albion for Joe Johnson and in his place Bob McGrory selected Frank Baker. In October 1937 Stoke played Scottish champions Rangers in a benefit match for the victims of the Holditch Colliery disaster, raising £2,000 for the relief fund. A good sized crowd saw an entertaining 0–0 draw.

However in the league Stoke's form fell away and Stoke slipped down the table and their performances were of 'poor quality' according to the local paper. In February and March with relegation a distinct possibility McGrory went out and signed Clement Smith from Chester, brought back Tommy Sale from Blackburn Rovers and swapped veteran Harry Davies for Port Vale's Tommy Ward. Stoke's injury jinx continued and with one game left at home to Liverpool Stoke required victory to keep their place in the First Division. To add to the drama star striker Freddie Steele arranged to get married on the morning of the match, he made it to the ground on time and scored a vital goal as Stoke won 2–0 to remain in the top division.

However the season was dominated by the continuing frictions between Matthews and the club board and in February 1938 Matthews handed in a transfer request after a fall out with manager Bob McGrory. Around 4,000 Stoke fans met with the directors at the King's Hall to see the board of directors come to the conclusion that Matthews must not leave. Matthews refused and reiterated his request to leave. Stoke rejected his request and Matthews wrote to the local paper thanking the fans for there support and he forged an uneasy truce with the management and board. Matthews pledged to do his best for his home town club and he did so until 1947 when he joined Blackpool.

### FA Cup

Stoke exited at the fourth round this season losing at home 2–1 to Bradford Park Avenue in a replay.

# *** (novel)

***\****** (pronounced Three Asterisks) is the fifth novel by Michael Brodsky published by Four Walls Eight Windows. The book centers on Stu Potts, working for Dov Grey, captain of industry, creating \***s out of raws. No underlying meanings for "\***", nor for "raw", both of which occur frequently in the text, are directly suggested.

## Plot summary

The novel opens with a 13-page section consisting almost entirely of paragraphs that begin "It all began with ...". These include some simple one-liners (including "bathroom smells, bathroom noises", "hunger, and thirst of course", "the loss of his credit cards") any one of which could start a typically written novel, but here do not. They also include longer paragraphs that refer all over the map, including some that look like they might have something to do with \***. For example, one paragraph starts by mentioning that Stu was very much liked by his fellow tenants (Mr. Bresson, Mr. Dostoevsky, Mr. Balzac, Mr. Xman). But being captioned *very much liked* was so terrible that Stu needed "a manly atmosphere, heady with \*** work, to cure him of this pathos." Another says that the beginning was when Stu felt he was one in an assembly line of listeners, each bound to repeat the story to the next listener.

The story properly begins with Stu Potts attending a party hosted by Bette Kaye, noted for when "Dov Grey became Dov Grey." Prominent among the attendees are Dov Grey and his wife Gwenda, employee Jomm Dawrson and his wife Tullshie (also called Miss Tullshie Dawrson née Dreadnought). Dov and Jomm share their hostility to the popular Hinkle-Winkle, who is "the eternal embodiment of goodish news," and a "freeloading ... world-class houseguest." In contrast, their wives are sympathetic to Hinkle-Winkle and his associates, "a band of brotherly strugglers all, unhierarchizable sodality of free souls." We learn later that Gwenda's sister Trendy is "wife and, depending on the time of day, concubine" to Hinkle-Winkle.

Stu is hired by Dov, engaged in housecleaning. After six months, Stu hates his job, and long philosophical conversations with Jomm do not help. Along the way, Stu takes a break walking outside, where he is confronted by the receptionist, Ms. Redmount. He ignores her, and interprets street activity as incomplete transformation of raw into \***.

The next day, Dov dictates to Redmount, now his private secretary, while they make love, witnessed by Stu and Jomm over a glass partition. Soon after, Stu listens in on Jomm and Dov discussing Gwenda, raws, and \***s. Gwenda then has Stu in for his six-month review.

title: Emmson

abstract: Emmson was an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was one of the best staying two-year-olds in Britain in 1987 when he won four of his five races including the Washington Singer Stakes and the William Hill Futurity. He failed to win as a three-year-old but did finish third in the Prix du Jockey Club and ran prominently in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He remained in training for two more seasons, recording his only subsequent win in the 1989 Prix Gontaut-Biron. After his retirement from racing he had some success as a sire of winners in Brazil.

# Emmson

**Emmson** (11 February 1985  after 1996) was an Irish-bred British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was one of the best staying two-year-olds in Britain in 1987 when he won four of his five races including the Washington Singer Stakes and the William Hill Futurity. He failed to win as a three-year-old but did finish third in the Prix du Jockey Club and ran prominently in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. He remained in training for two more seasons, recording his only subsequent win in the 1989 Prix Gontaut-Biron. After his retirement from racing he had some success as a sire of winners in Brazil.

## Background

Emmson was a bay horse with no white markings bred in Ireland by the Ballymacoll Stud. He was sired by Ela-Mana-Mou an outstanding middle distance performer whose wins included the Eclipse Stakes and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes in 1980. His other progeny included Double Trigger, Snurge and Almaarad. Emmson's dam Happy Kin won three races from thirty-three starts in North America between 1977 and 1980. She was descended from Great Niece, a full-sister to Great Nephew and the female-line ancestor of many major winners including Swain.

Emmson raced in the colours of Ballymacoll's owners Michael Sobell and Arnold Weinstock. He was trained by Dick Hern at West Ilsley in Berkshire.

## Racing career

### 1987: two-year-old season

On what was scheduled to be his racecourse debut, Emmson was withdrawn at the start of a race at Salisbury after his jockey reported him to be "wrong behind". Five days later he appeared to be completely sound when winning a maiden race over seven furlongs at Newbury Racecourse. In July, over the same course and distance, he won the Donnington Castle Stakes, beating the John Dunlop-trained favourite Alwuhush by three quarters of a length. The Washington Singer Stakes in August, again over seven furlongs at Newbury, saw the colt moving up in class and winning by three quarters of a length from Zelphi. He was then stepped up in class and distance for the Group Two Royal Lodge Stakes over one mile at Ascot Racecourse in September and started the 13/2 fourth choice in the betting. Ridden as usual by Willie Carson he was slightly hampered in the straight before staying on to finish fourth behind Sanquirico, Undercut and Alwuhush.

On 24 October Emmson was one of six colts to contest the Group One William Hill Futurity. He was made the 7/1 third favourite behind the undefeated Salse (winner of the Somerville Tattersall Stakes) and Alwuhush, with the best fancied of the other three runners being Sheriff's Star. After racing in third place behind the outsiders Top Class and Ilishpour he moved to the front two furlongs out and held off the late challenge of Sheriff's Star, with Salse two lengths back in third.

### 1988: three-year-old season

Emmson began his second season in the Dante Stakes (a major trial race for The Derby) over ten and a half furlongs at York Racecourse in May. He led for most of the way but was overtaken in the last quarter mile and finished fourth of the seven runners behind Red Glow. He bypassed the Derby in favour of the Prix du Jockey Club at Chantilly Racecourse and finished third beaten a short head and three quarters of a length by Hours After and Ghost Buster's. After a lengthy break he returned to France in October for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Longchamp Racecourse. Ridden by Tony Ives he took the lead approaching the straight and maintained his advantage until 200 metres from the finish, but then faded quickly and finished eighth of the twenty-four runners behind Tony Bin. On his fourth and final appearance of the year he was dropped in class and started odds-on favourite for the Group Three St Simon Stakes at Newbury but ran poorly and finished seventh, more than twenty lengths behind the winner Upend.

### 1989: four-year-old season

Emmson made his first appearance in the Gordon Richards Stakes at Sandown Park Racecourse on 29 April and finished a remote sixth behind Indian Skimmer. In the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot in June he led until the final quarter mile before finishing third behind Assatis and Top Class. He was then dropped to Listed class for the Fred Archer Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse on 1 July and finished second to the four-year-old Apache. On 12 August the colt made his third appearance in France when he contested the Group Three Prix Gontaut-Biron over 2000 metres at Deauville Racecourse. With Carson in the saddle, he tracked the leader Hello Calder before taking the lead in the last 200 metres and stayed on well to win by three quarters of a length from Sweet Chesne. Carson received a four-day ban (later overturned) for causing interference but the result was allowed to stand.

### 1990: five-year-old season

Emmson remained in training as a five-year-old and was ridden in all three of his races by Alain Lequeux. He failed to recover his best form, finishing fifth in the Prix d'Harcourt, last of ten in the Prix Ganay and eighth in La Coupe in his final race on 23 June.

## Assessment

In the official International Classification of two-year-olds for 1987, Emmson was given a rating of 118, seven pounds behind the top-rated pair Ravinella and Warning, making him the fifth best British juvenile colt. The independent Timeform organisation rated him on 123, four pounds inferior to Warning, who was their best two-year-old of the season. In their annual *Racehorses of 1987* Timeform described him as a "very genuine" stayer who was likely to develop into a St Leger contender.

## Stud record

At the end of his racing career, Emmson was exported to become a breeding stallion in Brazil. His last foals were born in 1997. His best runners included the filly Verruma and the colt Mr Pleasentfar, both of whom won Grade One races in Brazil before transferring to the United States: Verruma won the Athenia Stakes whilst Mr Pleasentfar won the Red Smith Handicap.

# 2007 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election

The **2007 Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council election** took place on 3 May 2007 to elect members of Redcar and Cleveland Unitary Council in England. The whole council was up for election and the council stayed under no overall control.

## Background

At the last election in 2003 Labour lost their majority on the council, after winning 23 seats, compared to 15 for the Liberal Democrats, 13 Conservatives and 8 independents. A coalition between the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and independents then took control of the council.

In 2004 a Labour councillor for Guisborough, and former deputy leader of the party, Keith Pudney, became an independent, before becoming a Liberal Democrat in 2005. However, also in 2005, Labour gained a seat in Westworth from an independent at a by-election. A final change came in February 2007 when David Tomlin resigned from the Labour party after being convicted for falsely claiming benefits. This meant that before the 2007 election Labour had 22 seats, the Liberal Democrats 16, Conservatives 13, East Cleveland Independents 2, the Independent Group 5 and 1 independent, with the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and the 2 East Cleveland Independents forming the administration, while Labour and the other independents were in opposition.

In total 160 candidates stood for the 59 seats that were being contested at the election. The council already had the best female representation of any council in North East England with 30 women councillors and 75 of the candidates were female. The candidates comprised 50 from Labour, 42 Liberal Democrats, 37 Conservatives, 4 British National Party and 27 various independents. Meanwhile, 7 sitting councillors stood down at the election, Christopher Beadle, Keith Blott, Bill Goodwill, Barbara Harpham, Keith Pudney, Alma Thrower and David Tomlin.

## Election result

Labour made a net gain of 6 seats, to go to 28 seats on the council, 2 short of a majority. The gains came at the expense of the Liberal Democrats who dropped 3 to 13 seats and the Conservatives who were down 2 to 11 seats. 7 independents were also elected, 4 in the Independent Group, 1 Loftus Ward Independent, 1 East Cleveland and Guisborough Independent and 1 East Cleveland Independent.

Following the election the Labour group leader, George Dunning, became the new leader of the council, after Labour got the support of 2 independents, Mike Findley and Mary Lanigan.

title: 2008 Football League play-offs

abstract: The Football League play-offs for the 2007–08 season were held in May 2008, with the finals taking place at Wembley Stadium in London. The play-off semi-finals were played over two legs and were contested by the teams who finished in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th place in the Football League Championship and League One tables, and the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th placed teams in League Two. The semi-final winners progressed to the finals, with the winner of each match earning promotion for the following season. Hull City won promotion to the Premier League after defeating Bristol City in the Championship final, 1–0 with a goal from their leading scorer Dean Windass. This marked the Tigers' first entry to the top division of English football in their existence. In the League One final, another 1–0 victory saw Doncaster Rovers promoted ahead of Leeds United. Stockport County defeated Rochdale 3–2 in the League Two final. This meant all three clubs who had finished immediately below the automatic promotion places in their divisions were promoted.

## Background

The Football League play-offs have been held every year since 1987. They take place for each of the three Football League divisions following the conclusion of the regular season and are contested by the four clubs finishing immediately below the automatic promotion places.

In the Championship, Hull City finished four points behind second-placed Stoke City, who were promoted with champions West Bromwich Albion. Bristol City \- who were aiming to return to the top flight for the first time since 1980 - finished in fourth place in their first season at Championship level for nine years. The other entrants, Crystal Palace and Watford, had both played in the Premier League before, with Palace's last spell in the top division ending in a final day relegation in 2005, a year after having won the play-offs. Watford had been relegated from the top flight in the previous season, having finished bottom, and were looking to return at the first attempt.

# Australian Superkart Championship

The **Australian Superkart Championship** is a motor racing series run in Australia under the auspices of CAMS under their Superkart regulations. The karts race on full-size Australian circuits and in 2013 the series was raced at Sydney Motorsport Park and Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit. As of 2007 the series has raced as part of the Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships. The series is one of nine that enjoy full CAMS Australian Championship status.

National titles have also been run by other sanctioning organisations over the years as one-off events.

## Classes

Presently three different classes of Superkart compete in the Australian championship: 250 International (for two cylinder 250cc engines), 250 National (for single cylinder 250cc engines), 125 Gearbox (for 125cc engines). Rotax max family of classes no longer compete for Australian championship status but have a single event non-gearbox Nationals with three classes: Rotax Light and Rotax Heavy, both weight based categories and Rotax Junior for drivers of the ages 12–16, and they run their Rotax 125cc engines without a power valve, reducing the power output of the class relative to Rotax Light and Rotax Heavy. While all classes compete for a national title, because of regulations in 2008 only the winners of the 250 International class has consistently been able to claim Australian Champion. Prior to the widespread popularity of Rotax Max the non-gearbox classes were 100cc engine capacity. Previously there was also a fourth gearbox class for 80cc engines Superkarts but numbers have dwindled in recent times to the point that 80cc class has been folded into 125cc class at national level and today only survives in limited numbers at state level.

## Champions

The following is a compilation of Australian Superkart championship and national series winners. Since 1980 superkart motor racing series have been run under AKA & CAMS regulation. Prior to 1989 titles existed run under AKA authority. Run originally as single event championship it blossomed into a multi-event series in the early 2000s.

One of the most successful driver in Superkart racing is Warren McIlveen who has won 7 titles, six of them in the top class, 250 International. The most successful & cross-class driver has been Brian Stockman who has won eight titles across four classes. 2 x 80cc, 1 x 125cc, 2 x 250cc single & 3 x 250cc international. Jason McIntyre, Luke May and Jeff Reed are the only drivers to have won both Gearbox and non-Gearbox titles. Both the non-gearbox classes 100cc and Rotax Max have both used Light, Heavy and Junior classes to further sub-divide their numbers on occasion. They are indicate **L:** Light, **H:** Heavy and **J:** Junior.

Due partially to falling numbers not all have been recognised as Australian Champions, some only as national series winners. For example, in 2009 only the 250 International class was recognised with the status of Australian champion. Numbers have since rebounded.

Attempts to run a Rotax Max title since 2009 had collapsed on multiple occasions but a replacement event no longer considered an Australian Championship was run in 2011.

title: Avraham Bromberg

abstract: Rabbi Avraham Dov Halevi Bromberg, formerly the Rosh Yeshiva of Beth Hatalmud Rabbinical College, is currently Rosh Yeshiva of Sha'ar Hatalmud in Lakewood Township, New Jersey. In 2022, the Yeshiva relocated to Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He is a Talmudic scholar and Posek in the U.S. Yeshiva community. In 2002, Bromberg authored a Rabbinical responsa to permit an agunah, whose husband perished in the September 11 attacks, to remarry. One of the Halakhic justifications was based on Boruch Ber Leibowitz's Birkhas Shmuel. Bromberg has also published numerous essays on assorted Talmudic topics in various scholarly journals, including Yeshurun, Chitzei Gibborim, and Am HaTorah. In 2010, Bromberg was one of the signatories of a letter urging members of the Haredi community to marry people who are close in age to themselves. This was meant to help end the Shidduch Crisis. To further combat this issue, Bromberg also signed a letter allowing boys to start dating at a younger age than most Haredim are accustomed to. In 2021, following the legalization of Cannabis in New Jersey, an open letter was written by many rabbis and Rosh Yeshivas in the Lakewood area, banning the use and sale of Cannabis by people in the Haredi community. Bromberg penned a postscript to the letter harshly decrying all those who use and sell cannabis, and calling for their ouster from the community. He signed as "He who writes and signs for the sake of the survival of the human race and Judaism".
