AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
One of the most important de-i velopments in London football, the moving of Queen's Park Rangers from their present ground at Loftus Road, Shepherd's Bush, to the White City Stadium, is now being completed.
Queen's Park Rangers played their first home match in the Foot ball League this season against Bournemouth at the White City, and all home matches of both re: serve and League teams will be played there.
The Rangers thus take over for football one of the best grounds in A. Pts. the country, a ground with covered accommodation for over 80,000. The Amateur Athletic Association are also considering, terms for holding their racelings there.
