FULHAM IN FORM.

All things ui this world are comparative, and although Fulham really looked a brilliant team yesterday against Chesterfield it must be remembered they wers opposed to terribly weak opposition. Anyhow, they ran out easy winners, to the delight of 18,000 spectators, who had long fasted on the bitter fruits of unsatisfied anticipations. All through the game was both fast and interesting, and both sides contested the issue right out to the end. Fulham improve with success. They showed themselves yesterday a new team.

Fulham have certainly Improved their tram to a wonderful extent by the innovation of Millington. This centre from A-iton Villa was yesterday a revelation to the Fulham crowd. Seemingly light, but built on a compact, if small scale, he showed wonderful dash and energy almost from start. Without being selfish he seized every opportunity, and throughout the first half kept Uapklnson always busy. He has a regular action, as regular as a steain piston, and his shots seem to rise with a terridc force.

He held his line well together, seemed to lend them spirit and confldence and fed both wimre with a Judgment and consistency remarkably In contrast to some displays that hava lately been seen on London football grounds. The second goal was a gem brightly polished.
