HOME FOOTBALL RESULTS.

EVERTON AND, CHELSEA BEATEN.

-FOURTH-ROUND OF THE SCOTTISH CUP.

The fourth round of the Scottish Cup was played on Saturday and the sixteen matches arranged all took place, the only change in the progranny was that Hearts played Ferres Mechanics at home instead of away. Two games were drawn and decisions in the remainder were divided between home teams and visitors.

Nine first division Scottish League teams were engaged with outside teams and all won their matches, In manches in which League teams played each other, Motherwell and Raith Rovers drew at two goals cuch, Rangers defeated Cowdenbeath by four goals to two, and the Airdrieonians got the better of Hamilton by the add goal in three. Dundee and Dundee United played to a draw of three goals each, Hearts secured the largest number of goals, 7-0, against their visitors. Celtic (last season's winners! won &1 against Keith.

All divisions in the English League had a full programme of matches. Everton, leaders in Division I met a reverse in their match with Huddersfeld, and the latter are now dangerous rivals, for the premier position. Chelsea's stay at the top of the table in Division II was short-lived as they went down to West Bromwich and had to drop to second place on goal average. Manchester City drew with Notta Forest and went to the top on goal average. Leaders in Division III. still retain their places. Home teams again secured most of the victories and scored more goals than usual.

Results of matches in the Scottish Cup and the English League, as cabird by Bruter, are given below, and the tables show the position to date."
