CHELSEA'S ACHIEVEMENT,

Chelsea's brilliant victory by three goals to nil over Everton at Stamford Bridge overshadowed everything else In the league programme.

The Pensioners, who have some. what fallen from grace after their remarkable series of successes during Christmas, completely re- ! habilitated themselves against the Toffeetowners, and gave a master- ly display of football;

Arsenal achieved an equally decisive victory at the expense, of Stoke City, who figure fourth in the league table, and as a result the Gunners head the table with lend of two clear points over Sunderland, thelr nearest rivals.
