Forecast For Saturday's Games

(BY LEFT OUT)

All clubs are engaged again this Saturday in the League. Sunderland is receiving Liverpool at home and is anticipated to send the visitors away pointless. The Arsenal travelling to Derby County where they will have to be on their very best be- haviour to come out on topman open game. Manchester City may leave two points behind with the Wolves while Stoke may have to be content sharing the spoils with Huddersfield.

There should be no change in the leadership over the week- end.

:

In the Second Division, Bolton, playing at home, should re- tain the lead by beating Blackpool, but their rivals Brentford, will be visiting Sheffield United who will, in all probability prove their undoing, and so allow West Ham.. by winning at Oldham, to come on level terms.

The two leaders of the Third Division, South clash at Charl- ton, who have the advantage and chalk up two points at Read- ing's expense. The next two on the League Table, Laton and Coventry County cross swords un the former's ground and Coventry are expected to garner the spoils.

Tranmere may meet their Waterloo at Chester, and Halifax at Doncaster, but as the leaders are so far ahead, these re- verses will not affect their positions over the week-end.

Rangers, Hearts and St. Johnstone are all at home and are

expected to send their visitors away "empty handed.

The programme is as follows, with probable winners, riven

in bold type together with distances between clubs:-.

BOLTON'S SPEED -

and"

After their week at Cleveleys, on the Lancs coast, Fulham played well enough against Bolton to beat most sides, but they found the leaders in smashing form frished decisively beaten by 4-0.

The Wanderers, who played Chambers, formerly of Halifax, in place of the injured Milsom, had none the better of the argument in the Arst half-hour, when both teams played delightful football in the open but encountered strong defences which conceded few real shooting openings.

Fulham had the physique and precision and Bolton the greater speed, and it was speed and deter- nination that gradually unsettled the Londoners' defence,

The sad fact is, however, that Oldham were beaten because, on the day, they were .not good enough. There was nothing like a settled plan of campaign. Instead, we had eleven individual players. earnest enough-but that was about all.

After seventeen minutes Fletcher scored the second goal--rather a curious one. A free kick was awarded just outside the penalty area from which Fletcher seemed to do no more than lob the bail just under the bar, Swift appear ed taken by surprise, it

Another ten minutes and Scott" put the finishing touch on a capi- tai forward movement. The game was as good as over.

Barnsley had a fair share of the game up till half-time, but could not pass Walker and Barrett, whose defensive football was excellent.'

With the racing season for 1934 now over, interest will be diverted to the forthcoming Annual Race Meeting. Below is the Grst mention of some of the new ponies in training. The times are all on the slow side, and to readers, probably most of the names are unfamiliar. To assist them, the letters" “A," "G"% of "S" have been affixed behind each name, indicating respectively "Australian,” “Grifhu” and “Sub-Griffin.""" By next week, I hope to give readers some indication of some of the more prominent ones to watch in each class.
