any defeated Sunderland on the latter's ground by four goals to two. Wednesday have now played 41 games, winning 25, drawing eight and losing eight. So far this season they have acquired 58 points. It is interesting to note that when they won the championship last year they secured 52 points from 42 matches. They won 21 of their games, fost eleven and drew! the other ten.
Sunderland are about the middle of the table, and therefore the match to-day had no bearing on the relegation problem which will not be settled until the teams play their final matches of the season on Saturday.
Of two games played in the Southern Section of the Third Division one has a bearing on the position at the bottom of the table. Bristol Rovers paid a visit to Walsall and came away with, a point, no-goals being scored.
The position at the bottom of the Southern Section is now as follows:

He adds that the Govern ment has sufficiently demonstrated its strength and expresses the hope that considerations of prestige will prevent neither the Government nor Gandhi retracing their steps and establishing peace and freedom.
