From the BCM 1925, page 445:
We regret to have to record the sudden death on September 19th, of G.F. Small, of the Glasgow Chess Club. He was a player of great promise and last season he carried off the Longwill and Macfarlane cups, in addition to winning the handicap competition. He also played successfully for his club in the first division of the Glasgow Chess league.
