RESULTS.

LEADING TEAMS CARRY THE DAY.

CHELSEA STILL DOING WELL.

RANGERS LOSE THEIR FIRST POINT.

Matches on Saturday in the English League ended as expected, there, being hardly anything in the nature of a surprise, Burn- ley, leaders in the First Division, still retain their place although they were obliged to drop ons point. West Ham were badly defeated by Leeds United and second position goes to Derby, who beat Portsmouth by the only goal in the match. Manchester United scored five gans against Newcastle.

Chelsea stii continue to win and their opponents were their closest rivals, Notts County. The latter lose second position to Hull City, who gained a narrow victory over Grimsby. Millwall scored an easy win over the lowly placed Reading.

Leading position was not altered in the Third Division (Southern) where Luton is on top, but Brentford had to give way to Queen's Park Rangers for second place. South Shields in the Northern section won comfortably when they met Chester- feld, and Stockport did even better in meeting Accrington by also scoring six goals and giving only one away.

In the Scottish League, the Rangers lost one point for the first time in a goalless draw with Motherwell. Third Lanark, Queen's playing at home instead of away, beat Falkirk 8-2. Park also changed their venue and were beaten away or St. Johnstone. Hearts went down unexpectedly to Dundee.
