(By Frank Coles)

London, April 1

HE individual goal-scoring record in the Eng- lish League, set up last Boxing Day by R. Bell, of Tranmere Rovers, was beaten yesterday by a young player named Joseph Payne, of Luton Town. Playing in a Third Division (South) match against Bristol Rovers at Luton, he scored ten of his side's twelve goals. Bell's record was nine.

Over 600,000 people were present at yesterday's League matches, bringing the total for the three days of holiday football to nearly 2,000,000. The biggest gate of the day was 47,450, at Charlton, where the Athletic, fighting hard for promotion. defcated the Spurs by 2-1.

The attendance was a record for the ground. The crowd was so great that a number of wooden barriers collapsed and there were many casualties. One spectator had his arm broken, and many children were passed over the heads of the crowd to safety around the touchline. Charlton's victory in this vital game gives them, a splendid chance of going up into the First Division.
