22 July

St Kilda's players delayed their entrance for Melbourne's visit to the Junction Oval on 22 July 1911, having not dressed to play in protest at non-players being barred from the rooms.

Only a committeeman's warning that the game would be called off and the league would deal with them got them out.

Clubs

The Sporting Globe, a Melbourne sports paper printed on pink paper, published its first issue as a Saturday evening edition.

On Saturdays it reached the streets one to two hours after the afternoon's VFL games finished, with results and match reports.
