HOME FOOTBALL RESULTS.

FEW SURPRISES IN THE B.A. CUP.

CARDIFF MAKING STRONG BID TO HOLD_TROPHY.

CHELSEA REGAIN. LEADERSHIP OF DIVISION II.

Owing to the fourth round of the Football Amociation Cup taking place on Saturday, there were no matches in Division 1. of the English League, while in Division II there were only four games, and fower matches than usual in the Southern and Northern" sections of Division III.

All the sixteen F.A. Cup matches arranged for the day were played and decisions were gained in all but three of the tips. There were playing-19 Division I. tests (s at home), 7 Division 11. teams (3 at home), 2 teams in the Southern section and 4 teams in the Northern section of Division III., all at home.

There were six victories for Division I. at home, three being against teams in the same division., Ashton Villa had an easy victory over Crewe (Northern), Tottenham proved superior to -Oldham (Division 11.) by an odd goal, and Sheffield United were

too good for the Wolves (Division II.),'

Four of the Division 1. teams won away from 'home' against. lower Division opponents. Wednesday; beat" Swindon (Southern). 21; Middlesbro' beat Bouthport (Northern) 3-0; Birmingham beat rexham (Northern) 3-1 and Leicester beat Reading (Division 1.) 10.

One Division I. team (Sunderland). had their colours lowered by Manchester City who are in the Second Division.

Two Division II, teams (Fort Valo and Stoke City) playing at· home both won, the former accounting: for a Northern section opponent (New Brighton) and the latter disposing of Bolton Wanderers who are in the 1st Division.

Cardiff (winners of Cup last season) won by an odd goal against Liverpool and are making a good effort to retain the trophy. Arsenal (runners-up last season) are also going strong and got the better of Everton, the League loaders, by the odd goal in seven. Arsenal and Tottenham are the only London teams left in the competition.

League leadership was affected in Division II. where Chelsea regained the premier place after a stiff struggle with Clapton Orient. Manchester City are now one point behind Chelsea with an even goal average in the sam: number of matches. Barnsley's eight goals to Fulbam's four was the highest score of the day. In Division III (Southern), Millwall, league leaders, received a surprising check when they visited Bournemouth.

The Scottish League (Division 1.) also had a surprise in the defeat of Motherwell by Queen's Park by two clear goals. Kilmar- nock did well by playing Celtic to a draw.

Interest, outside the English League fixtures this week ad will largely rest in the Scottish Cup matches, where there are some Interesting ties,

The fifth round of the F.A. Cup will be played on February 18th. With the replay between the 1st Division teams Manchester and Bury, elever teams from this Division are certain to take part. and possibly thirteen if Blackburn and Derby win their replays. Three Second Division teams will be playing.

Results of the matches and revised League tables are appended:
