  MissScarlett: < The Falkirk Herald of 31 December 1913, p4, listing the participants, said:-

'Four of the players are from Glasgow', which included J. "Black", who was described as a former champion. The likely Candidate is James Borthwick. It is doubtful that J. Crum or JD Chambers would use an alias, and James Marshall was still in Japan.>
