The board order suggests Miss Jacoba Rosema (later Mrs Ives) was substituting for a player who had not turned up.

* sic, probably Charles Leslie Wheway (b. 31/01/1908, d. 11/02/1970)

First 4 Wakefield match results are based on undated cuttings in Wakefield CC minute book, probably from Yorkshire Evening News or Wakefield Express, seemingly related to season 1947-48.

The Wakefield-Rotherham based on the same source looks to use the Wakefield Express’s font.
