FROM ALTAR TO SCRUM
League Footballer’s Goals Leaving Patricroft Parish Church, Lancashire, where he was married recently, the Swinton Rugby League club’s hooker, Sum Lee, took his place in the home team in their opening match against Batley. His bride, Miss Hilda Alaiden, of Peel Green, who watched the game, wore the club colours. She was attired in a blue dress and carried a white bouquet. Swinton won handsomely, and Sain Lee kicked five of their goals by way of a wedding celebration. But that was not his only “distinction.” He was the only home player to suffer injury in the game. In colliding with an opponent he sus-. tained a lacerated forehead, and went on his honey moon with a bandage covering three stitches, which a doctor had found it necessary to insert.
