1923 Whitechapel and St George's by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Labour MP, Charles James Mathew on 8 January 1923. Mathew died, aged 50, after an operation, seven weeks after his election, becoming one of the shortest-serving MPs in history.


1923 Whitechapel and St George's by-election, Election history
The constituency was created for the 1918 general election. The area had been a Liberal stronghold and despite the Conservative candidate being endorsed by the Coalition government, the Liberals won a four-cornered contest. At the following general election, Labour narrowly gained the seat. The result was;


1923 Whitechapel and St George's by-election, Campaign
Polling day was set for 8 February 1923, exactly one month after the death of Mathew. Nominations closed on 31 January 1923; it transpired that there would be a three-cornered contest between Labour's Gosling, the Liberal Kiley and the Prohibitionist Holden.


1923 Whitechapel and St George's by-election, Campaign
Leading Liberal Sir John Simon, who had gained a seat from Labour at the 1922 general election, came to speak in support of Kiley.


1923 Whitechapel and St George's by-election, Campaign

1923 Wightman Cup
The 1923 Wightman Cup, named after the founder Hazel Hotchkiss Wightman, was the first edition of the Wightman Cup, the annual women's team tennis competition between the United States and Great Britain. It was held at the West Side Tennis Club in Forest Hills, Queens in New York City in New York in the United States.


1923 Wightman Cup

As there was no play on Sunday the event was concluded on Monday, 13 August. The inaugural competition was played as the opening match of the newly constructed tennis stadium at the West Side Tennis Club. The United States team won the inaugural cup by winning all seven matches.


1923 Willesden East by-election
The  Willesden East by-election, 1923 was a parliamentary by-election for the British House of Commons constituency of Willesden East held on 3 March 1923. The constituency was a large one extending from Kilburn in the south to the Welsh Harp and on to Neasden.


1923 Willesden East by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the resignation of the sitting Unionist MP, Sir Harry Mallaby-Deeley. Mallaby-Deeley had been MP for Willesden East since the 1918 general election. Despite the protestations of ill-health which Mallaby-Deeley cited to justify his standing down from Parliament, he lived for another 14 years during which he carried on a substantial business career. The strong likelihood is that Mallaby-Deeley was asked to stand aside and cause a by-election as a route back into Parliament for the Hon. G.F.Stanley ,


1923 Willesden East by-election, Electoral history
At the previous General Election, the constituency had become a Unionist/Liberal marginal;


1923 Willesden East by-election, Campaign
Controversially in a constituency where over six thousand electors were thought to be Jewish, polling day was fixed for a Saturday. Housing was featuring strongly as an issue of importance at this time. In the by-election at Mitcham being held on the same day as Willesden East, the Unionist candidate was Sir Arthur Griffith-Boscawen. Griffth-Boscawen had lost his seat at Taunton at the general election of November 1922 but accepted Bonar Law’s offer to remain in the government as Minister of Health while he tried to find a seat to get back into Parliament.


1923 Willesden East by-election, Campaign
His main task as minister was to produce a Bill on local government rating but this proved highly controversial and the issue was a magnet for a whole range of problems associated with housing, including the failure of the government to increase the number of houses being built, to be raised at Mitcham and elsewhere, including to Johnstone’s advantage at Willesden. It was reported that the loss of the by-election would represent a blow for the Unionist government, although it was too early after the general election to see the results as a definitive verdict on Bonar Law’s administration.


1923 Willesden East by-election, Result
The result was a gain for the Liberal Party from the Unionists with Johnstone gaining 60% of the poll and a majority of 5,176 over Stanley.


1923 Willesden East by-election, Result
The Liberal victory was described by Austen Chamberlain as a “smash” and a bad omen for the by-election at Mitcham being held on the same day, which the Unionists also lost, this time to Labour. Clearly the absence of a Labour candidate at Willesden meant the Liberals were able to present Johnstone as the only progressive and anti-Tory candidate. This tactical advantage was underscored by an unproved allegation against Stanley that he or his supporters had tried to bribe a Labour man into standing as a candidate for the purpose of splitting the Liberal vote.


1923 Willesden East by-election, Result
The loss of Willesden by such a large majority was unexpected


1923 Willesden East by-election, Aftermath
It was hard to discern Willesden as part of any pattern of political success for the Liberal Party. Cook and Ramsden in their survey of British by-elections comment that none of the by-elections in the 1922-1923 Parliament pointed to the outcome of Stanley Baldwin’s Tariff reform general election of 6 December 1923. At that election, Johnstone narrowly held the seat despite the intervention of a Labour party candidate.

1923 World Series
In the 1923 World Series, the New York Yankees beat the New York Giants in six games. This would be the first of the Yankees' 27 World Series championships (as of 2020). The series was not played in a 2–3–2 format: as with the previous two Series (where both clubs had shared the Polo Grounds) the home field alternated each game, though this time it involved switching ballparks, as the first Yankee Stadium had opened this season.


1923 World Series, Background
The Yankees opened their new stadium in April on a home run by Babe Ruth, setting the tone for the season and this Series, in which Ruth hit three home runs along with drawing eight walks. In Game 2, second baseman, Aaron Ward hit a home run. The Giants' one bright spot was "Old Casey" Stengel, who hit game-winning homers in each of the two Giants' victories. In typically eccentric Stengel fashion, one of them was inside-the-park at the cavernous Yankee Stadium, and his shoe came loose during his run around the bases.


1923 World Series, Background
Stengel was traded after the season, leading him to quip later in life, "It's a good thing I didn't hit three homers in three games, or McGraw would have traded me to the Three-I League!". A quarter century later, Stengel would take on the role of Yankees manager, and would guide the Bronx Bombers through one of their most successful eras.


1923 World Series, Background
In Game 6, The Yankees overcame the 4–1 deficit by staging a five-run rally in the eighth inning to clinch the series.


1923 World Series, Background
The three consecutive matchups between the Yankees and Giants (1921–1923) marked the only time (as of 2020, that three straight World Series featured the same two clubs.


1923 World Series, Background
Thanks to the large seating capacity of the new Yankee Stadium, coupled with expansion of the Polo Grounds the same year, the 1923 Series was the first to eclipse 300,000 in total attendance (301,430), averaging over 50,000 per game (50,238), with gate receipts over $1 million ($1,063,815.00).


1923 World Series, Background
This was the third time that a team had inaugurated a new stadium with a World Series win, and would be the last until the St. Louis Cardinals victory in their new ballpark in 2006, and the New York Yankees again won the World Series in 2009 in their new Yankee Stadium.


1923 World Series, Background
Babe Ruth had a great series, his first great one as a Yankee, batting .368 and hitting three home runs in the series.


1923 World Series, Background
Neither Lou Gehrig, Bill Terry nor Hack Wilson played in the Series. These future Hall of Famers were each in their first season and had played no more than thirteen games in the regular season. Gehrig had been called up from Hartford to play for the Yankees that year. In that time, however, a team had to have the permission of both the commissioner and the opposing team's manager to make a roster change so late in the season eligible for postseason play.


1923 World Series, Background
The Yankees gained the permission of Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis who then told them to get John McGraw's permission. McGraw and the Yankees had a long history of disdain after both teams had shared a stadium and the Giants had won both the 1921 and 1922 World Series from New York. Therefore, he declined permission and Gehrig would not be allowed to participate in the series which otherwise would have been his first World Series. As noted baseball historian John Thorn said, "As if the Yankees needed any more reason to hate John McGraw."


1923 World Series, Summary
AL New York Yankees (4) vs. NL New York Giants (2)


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 1
A ninth-inning inside-the-park homer by Casey Stengel beat the Yankees on their home field. Babe Ruth scored in the first inning on a Bob Meusel double. Yankee center fielder Whitey Witt's two-run single in the next inning made it 3-0. The Giants fought back with a four-run third, knocking out Yankee starter Waite Hoyt from the game. It was tied at 4-4 in the ninth inning until Casey came to bat, legging out a long drive to the left-center gap.


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 2
After trading home runs by Aaron Ward and Irish Meusel, a pair of Babe Ruth blasts in the fourth and fifth innings turned out to be the difference.


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 3
A scoreless pitching duel lasted until the seventh inning, when Casey Stengel struck again, this time with a homer that left the park. It gave Art Nehf the win over Sad Sam Jones, despite the Giants getting just four hits.


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 4
A six-run second inning chased Giant starter Jack Scott, the first four Yankee batters of that inning reaching safely. Bob Meusel added a two-run triple. A ninth-inning leadoff inside-the-park homer by Ross Youngs gave the home team a flicker of hope, but Herb Pennock mopped up in relief.


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 5
It was over in a hurry. Bob Meusel's two-run triple and a Wally Pipp sacrifice fly made it 3-0. Then the Yankees got four more in the second, Joe Dugan's three-run inside-the-park homer the big blow. Bullet Joe Bush surrendered just three hits to the Giants, who now faced elimination.


1923 World Series, Matchups, Game 6
Right off the bat, the Yankees struck with a Babe Ruth two-out homer in the first. But then the Giants and their Polo Grounds crowd came to life. Three singles in the first tied the score. Center fielder Bill Cunningham knocked in a go-ahead run in the fourth, followed by catcher Frank Snyder's homer in the fifth.inning Down 4-1, the Yankees took advantage of two singles followed by 3 consecutive walks. Ruth struck out with the score 4-3, and Bob Meusel hit a clutch two-out single scoring two runs, and a third scoring on an error, making it 6-4 Yankees. Sad Sam Jones would get the 6 out save to win the Yankees their first championship.

1923 Yeovil by-election, Vacancy
The by-election was caused by the death of the sitting Unionist MP, Lt-Col. Hon. Aubrey Herbert on 26 September 1923. He had been MP here since winning the 1911 South Somerset by-election.


1923 Yeovil by-election, Election history
Before Herbert won South Somerset in 1911, the seat had been Liberal since it was created in 1885. At the 1918 general election, he easily won Yeovil in a three cornered contest, thanks to the Coalition coupon. At that election, the Labour candidate, William Kelly finished second, well ahead of the Liberal. The Liberals did not run a candidate at the following General Election, at which Herbert easily defeated Kelly. The result at the last General election was

Polling Day was set for 30 October 1923, thirty four days after the death of Herbert.


1923 Yeovil by-election, Result
On a turnout well up on the last General Election, Davies comfortably held the seat for the Unionists. The strong Liberal poll was the feature of the result. The Liberal intervention had marginally damaged the Unionists more than Labour.


1923 Yeovil by-election, Aftermath
Davies held the seat at the following General Election, and went on to hold the seat until retirement in 1945. Kelly had one last attempt at Yeovil but finished a poor third. He then sought election elsewhere and was returned at Rochdale in 1924. The Liberal improvement at the by-election continued as they established themselves as the main challenger to the Unionists locally. Cohen fought the seat a further two occasions without success, before contesting Portsmouth Central in 1929. The result at the following General election;


1923 Yugoslav Football Championship
The 1923 National Championship (Serbo-Croato-Slovenian: Državno prvenstvo 1923. / Државно првенство 1923.) held in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was the first nationwide domestic football competition. At this point there was no league championship in the modern sense as the competition was held in a single-legged cup format, with participating clubs qualifying via regional playoffs organised by the existing 6 regional football subfederations.


1923 college football season
The 1923 college football season saw several teams finish their seasons unbeaten and untied. As such, numerous schools claim a national championship for the 1923 season.

1923 in Afghanistan
The following lists events that happened during 1923 in Afghanistan.


1923 in Afghanistan
The course of Afghan history though not eventful is far from smooth. Friction between the amir Amanullah and a large part of his subjects is one of the outstanding features of the year, and the other is the straining of Afghan-British relations which takes place towards its close. The chief causes of disaffection against the amir have been his attempts to purify the administration and to impose conscription on the people.


1923 in Afghanistan
The levying of taxes has also, as was to be expected, proved a most difficult matter, and want of money has not allowed the amir to proceed very far on his path of reform. Nevertheless, in some lines substantial progress has been made. Most notable is the spread of education among the people. There are now thousands of Afghan boys receiving schooling, and 200 are being educated abroad; and these are expected in course of time to provide an efficient civil service and judiciary.


1923 in Afghanistan, First half of 1923
In interfering with the local hakims, who though notoriously corrupt have maintained some semblance of law and order in their respective districts, the amir tries to introduce more civilized methods for which the population is not yet ripe, and consequently lawlessness and unrest increase considerably, culminating in the revolt of the formidable Alizai tribe.


1923 in Afghanistan, January 1923
The amir sends a message to King George V on the Lausanne conference, and the king's reply, expressing his earnest desire for an equitable solution of the Turkish problem, creates a favourable impression in Afghanistan.


1923 in Afghanistan, March 1923
Telegraphic communication between Afghanistan and Britain started. An exchange of messages still more friendly than in January takes place on the occasion. The amir thanks the king for the services rendered by British officials in the progress of the work, and expresses a hope for the continuance of good relations between the two nations, at the same time appealing to Britain for fair dealing with the Muslim world. The king reciprocates the amir's good wishes, and emphasizes the desire of Britain to live in peaceful and neighbourly cooperation with the Muslim world.


1923 in Afghanistan, March 1923
Despite this great step forward towards removing the isolation of Afghanistan, in the all-important matter of internal communications little advance is made during the year. No railways are commenced, and small progress is made with the new roads planned for motor traffic, while the existing roads from Kabul to Peshawar and Kandahar have if anything deteriorated. In the absence of good communications there can be little chance of developing the natural resources of the country.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
The amir's passion for justice is shown by his passing a sentence of imprisonment on the stepfather of his own mother, Shah Ghazi Mohammad Sarwar Khan, for misappropriation of public funds.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
Two murders of British subjects are perpetrated by tribesmen on the North-West Indian frontier at Kohat and Landi Kotal, and the murderers flee to Afghanistan. On June 4 the Afghan government informs the British minister at Kabul that orders have been issued for their immediate arrest, but several weeks pass before the arrest is effected. The British suspect that the amir is acting under Bolshevik influence and purposely flouting England.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
When the murderers actually are arrested, they manage to escape from prison before trial, and though there is no proof of connivance on the part of the authorities, the incident makes a bad impression. In order to remove this the Afghan government for a time adopts more energetic measures against the outlaws on the border, and in October a joint Afghan and British commission meets at Karachi on the frontier to investigate a number of incidents that have occurred. From this point, however, matters instead of improving seem to grow rapidly worse.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
The Afghans become suspicious that England is once more harbouring imperialistic designs and seeking to regain her exclusive domination over their country. These feelings are strongly expressed by the Afghan minister in Paris, Sardar Tarzi Khan, in an interview which he gives to the Nation on December 16.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
He charges the British in particular with having three months earlier held up at Bombay a quantity of arms for the Afghan police, in breach of the treaty between Afghanistan and Britain made in 1921, and of the trade convention of June 5 of the current year which among other things confirmed the obligation then accepted by the British government to allow the transit of arms to Afghanistan through India.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
The British defense is that according to the treaty the importation is to be permitted only so long as the intentions of the Afghan government are friendly, and no immediate danger to India is involved. By the end of the year the situation as between the two countries is generally regarded as serious.


1923 in Afghanistan, April 1923
The Afghan suspicions of Britain's intentions are believed to be fostered by other countries, notably Russia and France, as shown by a striking article in L'Ere Nouvelle of December 26, which suggests that it is the independent policy of Afghanistan rather than the activity of brigands which disquiets Britain. Britain's last act during the year is to demand the removal of the Bolshevik representative from Kabul, a step which is characterized in Russian quarters as an "ultimatum."


1923 in Afghanistan, May 1923
The amir having given to France exclusive rights of archaeological research in Afghanistan, excavations near Kabul are commenced by Alfred Foucher, a professor at the Sorbonne, and a leading authority on Buddhism. On representations being made by the British government Foucher declares his intention of inviting the distinguished British authority Sir Aurel Stein to take a share in the investigations in Afghanistan.


1923 in Afghanistan, May 1923
For one reason or other, however, the invitation is not extended, and in December Foucher, instead of commencing excavations near Jalalabad, as was his original intention, leaves, under instructions from Paris, for Balkh, 350 miles north of Kabul in the neighbourhood of the Hindu Kush, which has been regarded as the special archaeological province of Sir Aurel Stein.

Palermo, which had been relegated from the Asociación Amateur, joined Asociación Argentina remaining at Primera División.

1923 in association football, Events
April 28 – The first FA Cup Final to be held at Wembley Stadium,  between Bolton Wanderers F.C. and West Ham United F.C.. Known as the White Horse Final due to the memorable image of a policeman on a white horse marshalling the crowds. With an official maximum capacity of 127,000, the attendance was quoted as 126,947 but up to 240,000 people are thought to have squeezed in through the 104 turnstiles by the time the gates were closed, leaving tens of thousands still queuing outside. The White Horse Final has the highest ever unofficial "non-racing" sports attendance in the world, which is very unlikely to be broken in the near future. This claim, however, is disputed, as the Maracana held 199,854 fans during the 1950 World Cup final between Brazil and Uruguay.

Third Division South club Brentford decided not to conduct an overhaul of its squad during the 1923 off-season. Goalkeeper and half backs William Young, Cyril Hunter, Bill Inglis and James Kerr were retained, as was outside forward Patsy Hendren. Up front, Bobby Hughes, Henry Parkinson and Harry Williams were signed to boost the team's strikeforce. Forwards Freddy Capper, Billy Clayson and Sidney Mulford were all retained, despite scoring just 11 goals between them during the 1922–23 season.


1923–24 Brentford F.C. season, Season summary
Aside from a six-match unbeaten run in November and December 1923, Brentford spent much of the 1923–24 season in the bottom four of the Third Division South. Three wins in the final four matches lifted the club to a 17th-place finish. Youngster Reginald Parker proved to be a revelation up front and became the first Brentford player to hit 20 goals in a season since the club entered the Football League in 1920. Billy Clayson also scored 10 goals, which meant Parker and Clayson accounted for 30 of the 45 goals the Bees scored during the season. Brentford failed to draw an away league match during the campaign, a joint-club record.


1923–24 British Home Championship
The 1923–24 British Home Championship was an international football tournament played during the 1923–24 season between the British Home Nations. It was won by the excellent Welsh team of the early 1920s who achieved a whitewash of the other three home nations over the tournament, scoring five goals for just one in return.


1923–24 British Home Championship
Wales and Ireland began the competition the strongest, both beating their opponents. Ireland won 2–1 over England in Belfast, whilst Wales took Scotland 2–0 at Ninian Park. Scotland recovered in their second game with a strong display against Ireland at home whilst England slumped 2–0 against Wales in Blackburn. With Ireland needing a win at home to end level on points with the Welsh, a furious game in Belfast was eventually decided by a Moses Russell penalty in favour of the Welsh, who claimed the trophy. Playing for pride, England and Scotland struggled to a 1–1 draw in the final match which handed second place to the Scots.


1923–24 Brooklyn Wanderers F.C. season
The 1923-24 Brooklyn Wanderers F.C. season was the second season for the club in the American Soccer League. The club finished the season in 5th place but won the Southern New York Football Association Cup.

1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season
The 1923–24 season was the 23rd season of competitive football played by Cardiff City F.C. and the team's third consecutive season in the First Division of the Football League. Cardiff had been promoted to the First Division in the 1920–21 season after finishing as runners-up in the Second Division.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season
Cardiff played a much improved campaign from the previous season and led the First Division for the majority of the season. A poor run of form in March resulted in the team dropping to fourth position but they recovered to again lead the division prior to the final game of the season. Needing a win to claim the First Division title, Cardiff could only achieve a draw against Birmingham allowing Huddersfield Town to move into first place and win the championship on goal average.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season
The margin of victory, 0.024 of a goal, remains the narrowest title win in the history of the top tier in English football and was the first time the championship had ever been decided by the method. In cup competitions, the side were eliminated in the fourth round of both the FA Cup and Welsh Cup by Manchester City and Newport County respectively. In the Welsh Cup, Cardiff and Newport required four matches to decide a winner of the tie.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season
Jimmy Nelson made 53 appearances in all competitions, the most of any Cardiff player. He missed a single senior match during the season, a Welsh Cup tie against Newport County. Cardiff used 24 players during the campaign. Len Davies finished the campaign as the club's top goalscorer for the fourth consecutive season, netting 24 goals in all competitions.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
Cardiff City had entered the Football League in 1920, winning promotion from the Second Division in its first attempt after finishing as runners-up. The team had adapted well to the top tier of English football finishing in fourth place during the 1921–22 season and expectations ahead of the 1922–23 season had been high with The Times describing the team as being considered "as good a team as any in the First Division of the League". However, despite being the highest scoring team in the First Division, Cardiff endured a disappointing campaign and eventually finished in ninth position.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
Manager Fred Stewart remained in charge for his ninth season of competitive football. Confidence in the existing squad from Stewart and the club's board meant there was little transfer activity ahead of the new season. In a board meeting prior to the campaign a director of Cardiff was quoted as declaring the club were "envied by nearly all the other League clubs" in regards to the players contracted to the club. The decision to rely on the existing squad was described as "thoroughly justified" during the early stages of the campaign.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
The club's squad was regarded as largely youthful with only four players over the age of 30. Stewart continued his tradition of sourcing players from the North of England by signing forward Alfie Hagan and winghalf Harry Wake from Newcastle United's reserve side and goalkeeper William Robb from Wallsend Boys Club. The only significant departure saw club captain Charlie Brittain leave after deciding to retire from football having lost his place in the side to Jimmy Nelson. Jimmy Blair was appointed as the new club captain with Fred Keenor as vice-captain.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Background and preseason
The club's board were forced to postpone plans for the redevelopment of Ninian Park prior to the season due to the rising costs of installing dressing rooms and offices in one stand. They instead chose to focus on improving the playing conditions of the pitch which had begun to deteriorate.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Cardiff began their season with a home tie against FA Cup holders Bolton Wanderers. A brace from Jimmy Gill and one from Joe Clennell helped the side to an opening day victory with the match finishing 3–2 with Bolton's David Jack scoring twice. A 2–1 victory over Sunderland in the following match left Cardiff as one of only five unbeaten teams in the First Division after two matches. Cardiff met Bolton in the reverse fixture on 1 September in the team's first away match of the season.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Bolton took a 2–0 lead before Len Davies scored his first goal of the season with ten minutes remaining. Cardiff were awarded a penalty soon after but Herbie Evans' effort was saved by Bolton goalkeeper Dick Pym. Cardiff eventually equalised when Billy Hardy converted from a corner to end the match with a 2–2 draw.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
A 3–0 victory over Sunderland placed Cardiff top of the table after four matches and the team's performance garnered praise from manager Fred Stewart who declared the match "the greatest game I have ever witnessed and I have never seen our lads play such wonderful football." The side went on to lose the top position on goal average following a goalless draw with West Ham United.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the reverse fixture against West Ham, Cardiff returned to the top of the table with a 1–0 win. The side met Newcastle United, a side who had also enjoyed a strong start to the season, on 22 September. Newcastle took a first half lead but were reduced to ten men due to injury soon after. Despite the extra man advantage, Cardiff could only manage an equalising goal through Len Davies in the second half. Davies scored for the third consecutive match to give his team a 1–0 win over Newcastle at Ninian Park a week later.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Notts County's defeat against local rivals Nottingham Forest left Cardiff as the only undefeated team remaining in the First Division after eight matches, with The Times describing the team as playing "bright, thrustful football that brings goals". The side continued their unbeaten run for three further matches, recording a win and a draw over Chelsea and a 1–1 draw with Preston North End before losing their first match of the season in a 3–1 defeat to Preston on 27 October.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Preston, who were yet to win a match before the fixture, took an early three goal lead with all of the side's goals being scored in the space of 13 minutes. Cardiff scored a consolation goal in the second half through Len Davies, his sixth goal in seven matches. Cardiff were the last team in all three divisions of the Football League to lose a match.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Having surrendered first place to Huddersfield Town, Cardiff retook the position by defeating West Bromwich Albion with a brace from Gill and one from Herbie Evans. In the reverse fixture against West Brom a week later, Len Davies became the first Cardiff player to score four goals in a Football League match when he scored all of his side's goals in a 4–2 victory. Back-to-back fixtures against Manchester City yielded consecutive 1–1 draws. In the first tie, Cardiff were deemed lucky to have gained a point with The Times stating, "the balance of play was all against them".


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Billy Grimshaw had given Cardiff the lead with a "speculative" long shot with Manchester City equalising in the final 15 minutes. In the second tie, Scottish forward Denis Lawson made his debut having signed from St Mirren although he was described as not playing "a very distinguished game". The arrival of Lawson ultimately led to the departure of Grimshaw after the club received an offer of £4,000 from fellow First Division side Sunderland. Grimshaw had made over 45 appearances in the previous two seasons and had been ever present prior to Lawson's signing but the chance to recoup a significant transfer fee proved too tempting for the club's board.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Consecutive victories over Nottingham Forest in early December, 1–0 at Ninian Park and 4–1 away from home, enhanced Cardiff's lead in the table. However, the form of rivals Aston Villa, Huddersfield Town and Everton meant that Cardiff were unable to extend their lead by more than two points. An eagerly anticipated fixture against reigning First Division champions Liverpool followed and was regarded as a major test of the Cardiff team although they were expected to at least "hold their own". Cardiff eventually claimed a comfortable 2–0 victory following goals from Clennell and Gill.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The Football Echo was glowing in its praise of the side, writing Liverpool had lost through no error of their own but simply "met a team that was better balanced, more capable in combination and more expert in ball control". Seven days later, the scoreline was repeated in the reverse fixture at Ninian Park with Len Davies scoring both goals. Cardiff and Sheffield United met in back-to-back fixtures on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. After drawing 1–1 in the first tie, Cardiff recorded a 3–1 victory in the second, leaving them with a four-point lead over Bolton.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the final match of the calendar year, the team suffered their first defeat for more than two months when they lost 2–1 to Aston Villa in front of a crowd of more than 50,000. After falling behind, Len Davies equalised for Cardiff before captain Blair scored an own goal to hand the opposition victory.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
A goal from Clennell was enough to beat Middlesbrough on New Year's Day but the return fixture against Aston Villa again ended in defeat for Cardiff as they were beaten 2–0. On 19 January, Cardiff met Arsenal in a match that was severely affected by strong winds and rain. Against the run of play, Cardiff took the lead through Len Davies but Arsenal were able to equalise soon after. A late attack saw Clennell score the winning goal although later reports suggest that he had been in an offside position.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the reverse fixtures a week later, Cardiff dominated the match and a hat-trick for Gill and a single goal for Len Davies resulted in a 4–0 victory. Cardiff's participation in the FA Cup and Welsh Cup restricted the amount of league fixtures played in February, with the side playing only two matches during the month. After defeating Blackburn Rovers 2–0 at Ninian Park following goals from Gill and Hardy, the side drew 1–1 with Tottenham Hotspur on 16 February.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The start of March saw a severe dip in the side's form as injuries to key players Len Davies and Herbie Evans weakened the squad. A defeat to title rivals Huddersfield Town on 1 March reduced Cardiff's lead to a single point. International call-ups further affected the squad in the following match as five first team players were absent for a 2–0 defeat to Notts County, goalkeeper Tom Farquharson along with Keenor, Herbie Evans and Len Davies with Clennell injured. The side's poor run of form continued as they suffered further defeats to Blackburn and Notts County to record four consecutive losses and dropped to fourth position in the table.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Results briefly improved at the end of March with two consecutive goalless draws against Everton that left Cardiff four points behind leaders Sunderland with two games in hand. The side recorded their first victory since mid-February on 7 April, defeating Tottenham 2–1. The win prompted a much improved run of form with Cardiff winning four of the following five matches, recording victories over Burnley (twice), Middlesbrough and Birmingham and a draw with title rivals Huddersfield to accumulate 12 of a possible 14 points in April.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
The match against Huddersfield was a nervy encounter with The Guardian stating, "the importance of the occasion overcame the forwards when they got within shooting range". The Western Mail described the match as "probably the most momentous league match every to be played at Ninian Park". The results returned Cardiff to first position with one game to play, leading Huddersfield by a single point, with their rivals retaining two games in hand which they were unable to win.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
In the final match of the season, Cardiff faced Birmingham in the reverse fixture at St Andrew's while Huddersfield hosted Nottingham Forest. A win for Cardiff would guarantee the club its first title regardless of Huddersfield's result while a draw would leave Huddersfield needing to win by three goals to win the title on goal average. Cardiff's match remained goalless for 70 minutes when the side were awarded a penalty after a goal-bound header from Gill was blocked on the line by the hand of Birmingham defender Eli Ashurst.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Regular penalty taker Jack Evans had suffered misses in previous months and Gill was reluctant to take responsibility. Top scorer Len Davies instead stepped up to take the penalty, the first senior attempt in his career, but he sent a tame effort at the opposition goalkeeper who saved comfortably. Despite the miss, Cardiff were still on course to win the league title as Huddersfield led Forest by a single goal.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
However, in the final 20 minutes, Huddersfield scored a further two goals to win the match 3–0 and overtake Cardiff to win the title on goal average by 0.024 of a goal. The result remains the narrowest margin of victory ever recorded in the top tier of English football. It was also the first time the championship had ever been decided by the method of goal average.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
Fred Keenor later remarked on Davies' missed penalty, commenting "There is no doubt that the excitement and the knowledge that so much depended on the shot unnerved Len a little. Under ordinary circumstances it would have been a gift goal, but Len Davies muffed the kick and the ball rolled gently to the goalkeeper, who calmly gathered and made an easy clearance." In the dressing room at the end of the match, the Cardiff players signed a congratulatory telegram that was sent to Huddersfield.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff began their FA Cup campaign in the first round against Gillingham at Ninian Park. With Cardiff leading the First Division and Gillingham struggling in the Third Division, having won 5 of 22 matches at the time, the match was expected to result in a comfortable victory for the home side. However, Gillingham caused a surprise by holding its higher ranked opponents to a goalless draw. In the replay at Priestfield Stadium, Cardiff led 2–0 at halftime through goals by Gill and Len Davies but were reduced to ten men after Blair went off injured.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Despite being down to ten players, Cardiff maintained its advantage to the end of the game. Cardiff defeated fellow First Division side Arsenal 1–0 in the second round before dispatching Severnside rivals Bristol City in the third. Cardiff took the lead against Bristol through a brace from Gill before Clennell added a third to complete the scoring.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Manchester City were Cardiff's opponents in the fourth round with the tie at Maine Road attracting a crowd of 76,166, the biggest crowd a Cardiff side had ever played in front of at the time. Despite enjoying the better of the play, Cardiff were unable to score and the match ended 0–0. In the replay, Cardiff were again unable to score past the Manchester City defence as another goalless draw resulted in the match going to extra-time. Tommy Browell scored 12 minutes into the additional period for Manchester City and won the tie for his side.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
Entering the competition in the third round, Cardiff were drawn against Shrewsbury Town. After a goalless draw, Cardiff defeated Shrewsbury 3–0 in a replay at Ninian Park following a brace from Clennell and one from Hardy. The team met Newport County in the fourth round and after a 1–1 draw and two consecutive 0–0 draws, the tie required a fourth reply to decide a winner. Newport won the fourth tie 3–0.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details
Defender Jimmy Nelson made more appearances for the club than any other player during the season. He was ever present in the league, featuring in all 42 matches, and made a further 11 appearances in cup competitions. He missed only one senior match throughout the season, a fourth round Welsh Cup fixture against Newport County on 17 March 1924. Two other players, goalkeeper Tom Farquharson and half back Billy Hardy, also made at least 50 appearances during the season with a further six players making at least 40 appearances. Two players made a single appearance, forward Jack Nock and defender Albert Barnett played his first senior match in two years having suffered a badly broken leg in 1921. During the course of the campaign, 24 players featured for the first team.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details

1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Despite losing the title after having led the league for the majority of the season, the Cardiff team were greeted by large crowds of supporters on their return to Cardiff Central railway station from Birmingham. Immediately after the season, Cardiff embarked on the first overseas tour in the club's history, playing in Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany. The team, joined by new signing Harry Beadles, travelled for three days to reach their first destination in Prague where they were due to play AC Sparta Prague.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
The match turned sour as Prague players were accused of overly physical play with Keenor angrily declaring at half time "If I get any more kicks on the shin I shall be chopping someone off at the knees". Matters worsened in the second half as Cardiff players found themselves being physically assaulted by members of the crowd. Players who went to the side of the pitch to take throw-ins and corner-kicks found themselves receiving kicks and punches from spectators. Cardiff went on to lose the match 3–2 but won a second game by the same scoreline. The side continued their tour in Austria, where they recorded a 2–0 victory over First Vienna, before continuing on to Germany where they defeated Borussia Dortmund 2–0 and drew 2–2 with Hamburger SV.


1923–24 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Cardiff's second-placed finish remains the highest position ever recorded by the side in the Football League. The following season, the side would go on to become the first Welsh side to reach the final of the FA Cup where they suffered a 1–0 defeat to Sheffield United.

1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season
The 1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season was the 18th season of play for the program. The teams was coached by Nick Bawlf in his 4th season.


1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
After a terrible season, Cornell's chance to improve itself was delayed due to a lack of ice and the team didn't play its first practice until January 7. The late start caused the team to compress its schedule to play 5 or 6 games, but that was reduced when the first game against Buffalo was cancelled. Even though the team could practice on Beebe Lake, soft ice and rain made playing the game impossible. This was the first game that the team had to cancel since returning after World War I. The weather got so bad that the second schedule match, a week later, also had to be cancelled.


1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
While the start to their season couldn't have been worse, Cornell knew that weather wouldn't cancel their third game as they were to travel to Princeton. Predictably, the delayed start caused the team to come out flat against the Tigers and the Big Red lost their opening game 0–5. Stainton played well in net, however, stopping 36 shots and kept Cornell in the match until the 3rd period. By the time of their next scheduled game, Beebe Lake had frozen enough to be usable and the Big Red were finally able to play a home game.


1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Coach Bawlf changed up his offense by swapping in Tilton at center with Burnett and started Kidd at left wing. The changes seemed to work as Cornell dominated a good Penn team to earn their first win in almost 2 years. The Big Red scored as many goals in the game as they had the entire previous year.


1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
The veritable offensive deluge continued in the next match when Cornell throttled Renssealer 13–1. The team tied the program record for goals in a game and gave hope that, despite facing Yale, the Big Red may be able to finish the season with a winning record. To that point, Yale had gone 11–0 against fellow varsity clubs and hadn't allowed a goal over their previous four games. Despite playing at the Bulldogs's home arena, Cornell gave the Elis a tough test.


1923–24 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
Yale jumped out to a 2–0 lead after the first period but Tilton cut their advantage in half at the start of the second. From then on the team traded goals with the Big Red coming with a goal of tying the score on three separate occasions, but they could never find the equalizer and Yale escaped with a victory.

1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in two stages in Egypt in 1923 and 1924, the first since nominal independence from the United Kingdom in 1922. The result was a victory for the Wafd Party, which won 188 of the 215 seats.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Background
The British government unilaterally recognized Egypt's independence on 28 February 1922. The Kingdom of Egypt was established two weeks later. On 21 April 1923, a new liberal constitution was promulgated. A royal decree was published on 6 September of the same year, which ordered the holding of the first election under the new constitution. Nationalist leader Saad Zaghloul, who had been exiled to Aden, Seychelles and Gibraltar, returned to Egypt on 17 September to take part in the electoral campaign. Zaghloul and his partisans ran a campaign that exposed the problems of the newly established constitutional order. Zaghloul was especially critical of the electoral laws, which he viewed as incompatible with democracy since they made eligibility of candidacy to general elections conditional on income. The Students Executive Committee of Zaghloul's Wafd Party played a crucial role in the campaign.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, System
The election was held over two stages. In the first stage on 27 September 1923, 38,000 electoral representatives were elected by the general population. These were announced on 3 October. In the second stage, 12 January 1924, the representatives elected members of the new Parliament.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Results
Zaghloul's Wafd Party, which had run for all Chamber of Deputies seats, won a landslide victory, winning 188 of the 215 seats. However, it fared less well in the Senate because it was harder to find qualified candidates to run for its constituencies. It won 66 Senate seats. Wafdist voters included the medium and small landowners, urban professionals, merchants and industrialists, shopkeepers, workers and peasants.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Results
Members of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority received 10% of the seats. This was higher than the Copts' share of Egypt's population, which stood at six percent according to the 1917 census. The social origin of the Copts who had been elected was very similar to that of the Muslims: mostly wealthy landowners, but also a small number of middle-class professionals, mostly lawyers as well as a few doctors. Two-thirds of the districts that elected Copts were in Upper Egypt, and one-third in Lower Egypt.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Results
The Wafd was the only party that managed to get Coptic candidates elected in the Nile Delta region of Lower Egypt, where Copts were not very numerous. It felt vindicated by these results, which were a clear sign of the party's strength and a testament to its commitment to secularism and national unity.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Aftermath
The Wafd Party's resounding victory meant that King Fuad I had no choice but to ask Zaghloul to form a new government. He did so on 27 January, and Zaghloul was named Prime Minister of Egypt. The Wafd felt it had a mandate to conclude a treaty with the United Kingdom that would assure Egypt complete independence. As prime minister, Zaghloul carefully selected a cross-section of Egyptian society for his cabinet, which he called the "People's Ministry". On 15 March 1924, King Fuad opened the first Egyptian constitutional parliament amid national rejoicing. The Wafdist government did not last long, however.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Aftermath
On 19 November 1924, Sir Lee Stack, the British governor general of Sudan and commander of the Egyptian Army, was assassinated in Cairo. The assassination was one of a series of killings of British officials that had begun in 1920. Viscount Allenby, the British High Commissioner to Egypt, considered Stack an old and trusted friend. He was thus determined to avenge the crime and in the process humiliate the Wafd and destroy its credibility in Egypt.


1923–24 Egyptian parliamentary election, Aftermath
Allenby demanded that Egypt apologize, prosecute the assailants, pay a £500,000 indemnity, withdraw all troops from Sudan, consent to an unlimited increase of irrigation in Sudan and end all opposition to the capitulations (Britain's demand of the right to protect foreign interests in the country). Zaghloul wanted to resign rather than accept the ultimatum, but Allenby presented it to him before Zaghloul could offer his resignation to the king. Zaghloul and his cabinet decided to accept the first four terms but to reject the last two. On 24 November, after ordering the Ministry of Finance to pay the indemnity, Zaghloul resigned. He died three years later.


1923–24 FA Cup
The 1923–24 FA Cup was the 49th season of the world's oldest football cup competition, the Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup. Newcastle United won the competition for the second time, beating Aston Villa 2–0 in the final at Wembley.
