SCOTLAND WINS INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
ENGLAND BEATEN IN LAST MINUTE.
THE LEAGUE STRUGGLE.
England's hopes of winning the International Championship "were shattered on Saturday when they were defeated by Scotland in the last minute after a fierce struggle. During the greater portion of the game. Scotland played only ten men owing to their right winger being injured. The gato exceeded that of the last Scottish Cup final, and almost approached that of the previous Inter- national game between Scotland and England on the same ground, the estimates for which, however, were stated to have been cou siderably exaggerated. This reverse deprives England of the hon- our. They have failed to gain it since the war, although they have onco shared the Championship with Scotland, who have been Cham- pions five times during the period.
Sheffield Wednesday, leaders in Division I. of the English League, strengthened their position as Champions by a 8-0 victory aver West Ham, their rivals, Leicester, faiting again by a division of the points with Arsenal Cardiff, probably together with Bury, appear to be doomed for rèlagation.
In the Second Division the race for promotion between Middlesbrough and Grinisby is very keen. The former, although failing to get full points, still hold the lead on goal average, but Grimsby have a match in hand and will probably finish as Champions of this Division.
An outstanding performance in the Third Division matches was Luton's victory over Gillingham hy eight goals. This gives the winners second place in the League table and enhances their proa- pects of promotion.
As in the case of the Second Division, two of the Northern Section teams, Stockport and Bradford City, are also having a close run to decide which of then: should gain promotion.
Results of the league matches with Reuter's cabled description of the International fixture and revised League tables are appended.
