SPURS MAKE SURE OF THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP

London, Apr. 28.

Tottenham Hotspur, with a single goal victory over Sheffield Wed- nesday, made sure today of winning the Football League Championship. Thus they have equalled the achievements of Everton (1931 and 1932), and Liverpool (1905 and 1906) by carrying off the Second Division title and the League Championship in successive seasons.

This match was the biggest draw of the day, outside the Cup Final, and a crowd of 46,648 saw Spurs triumph.
