{Source: The Times, 26 April 1938. The Times, 25 April 1938, reported that
this game had been postponed until "today" (by which it meant Sunday 24 April,
as that would have been the day the report was filed - some details of the
game were mentioned elsewhere in the report. Other round 4 games were played
on 23 April, with 24 April being the rest day.) The reason for the
postponement was Milner-Barry's toothache which necessitated him returning to
Cambridge for treatment. (Manchester Guardian)} 1-0

castled queen’s side against Milner-Barry’s king’s side castling, and,
playing better than he has done recently, obtained considerably the superior
game. Then he made a blunder; and matters came eventually to an endgame, rook
and pawn versus rook, Milner-Barry having the pawn and a technical win, which
he seemed temporarily to have forgotten how to bring about. At last he found
the way, and Thomas resigned. Milner-Barry said he was embarrassed at having
so many endgame experts watching him." (Manchester Guardian, 28 April)} 1-0
