Six clubs form the Pfahl League

Vellmar, 1 April 1871

Our correspondent at Vellmar telegraphs as follows. Six clubs form the Pfahl League. The first season is played that autumn on planked pitches over water. Play was held up at dusk for a fallen stake. We shall return to the matter.

The town officers met at dusk the following day and resolved to enter the matter in the minute book. The school was open as usual.

Those concerned: The Pfahl League (subject).

The Grand Chancellor, Piet Wendl, was informed at a quarter past 6 and had nothing to add.

Elsewhere in this issue: Sudholt Brewery is declared bankrupt. 885 jobs are lost at Sudholt. · A new wing opens at the Lindenmar hospital, with 80 beds.

The affair is much discussed in the town, and not only there.
