EVERTON TAKING NO RISKS IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
MAY ATTACK GOAL RECORD
(From Our Own Correspondent.)
London, Yesterday.
The injury to Alex James has thrown the whole Arsenal machine out of gear, and to-day they were fortunate to pick up a point at Villa Park against Aston Villa.
Everton, who are making a grand bid for the championship, were not engaged, but they are training hard for Saturday's home encounter against Bolton Wanderers. They cannot afford another lapse such as they experienced on Satur- day when they left Middlesborough losers by the only goal scored.
