KOTEWALL CUP SOCCER MATCH

SOUTH CHINA WIN BY ODD GOAL IN THREE

The Army's younger players, who were given their first taste of representative football in Hong- kong, acquitted themselves with credit yesterday in the second match of the Kotewall Charity Cup, though they could not prevent the South China A.A, from winning the encounter by the odd goal in three.

London, Apr. 10.

Everton made almost certain of the championship in the First Division of the English Football League to-day by defeating Sunderland by six goals to two. Though the Wolves, their nearest rivals, also won, Everton now need only three more points from their remaining four matches to be absolutely sure of clinching the champion- ship.

Derby County's downward silde continued to-day when they were defeated at home by Portsmouth, the F. A. Cup finalists.

In the Second Division, Blackburn Rovers also consolidated their posi- tion at the tops with a home victory over Fulham by the odd goal in three, and, like Everton, are now almost certain of winning the championship. The following were the results of matches played:.
