LEAGUE.
Rangers Defeat the Amateurs.
POINTS FOR COWDENBEATH.
Two matches were played in the First Division of the Scottish League yesterday.
Rangers were at home to their amateur neighbours, Queen's Park, and
won by a couple of goals margin. This gives them a point less than Motherwell, but they have a game in hand.
There was nothing at stake in the meeting of Cowdenbeath and Hamilton Academicals, the Fifers
gaining full points by a couple of goals margin.
Result as cabled by Reuter:- Rangers 2 Queen's Park Cowdenbeath 3 Hamilton A.
