LEADERS OF SECOND DIVISION DEFEATED
London, Mar. 29.
Charlton regained the leadership of the first division English Football League to-day when they defeated Chelsea by a lone goal. Arsenal conceded a point to Stoke, while Manchester City increased their challenge by taking full toll of Liverpool, to the tune of 5-1.
There were surprises in the second division. Black- pool, Leicester and Bury; who head the division, all suffered defeats and materially helped Aston Villa in their promotion quest. The Villa did not play, and have matches in hand of the leaders.
In the other divisions results went according to expectations. With the exception of the Irish League, which results are sent by our own correspondent, the following results were cabled by Reuter.
