rtSTERD.A.Y'S FOOTBALL. POINTS FOR CHELSEA AND ARSENAL 'BI'L'R6 DEFEAT. Previous to yesterday. when Scotland met Ireland at Celtic Park. Glasgow, no international soccer" match ef the present season bad been (thee than a draw.

Ireland having finished level with England and Wales, and Wales having also drawn with licutland. The Irishmen hold the international championship at present by virtue of their in 1914. but despite a large infusion of players from English and Scottish sides the Irishmen were badly overplayed yesterday. The Scottish forwards seemed to have dropped into their traditional game, which at times is invincible. Otherwise.

League games were the order of the day in the Association world, and West Bromwich ruthlessly removed the pretensions of Burnley to challenge them in the championship race. But interest in rst UfklgUO gi is still centred in the struggle to escape the dreaded last two places. The Arsenal. Derby, and Blackburn collected very welcome points. The form ta the Rovers in their last few matches suggests that they will remain in upper circles; they picked up tour points last week in great style after going without a for over two months.

Wednesday seem iloonied to the Second Division. but the other unfortunate may remain undiscovered for a few weeks. Will Birmingham or Huddersfield be promoted with the 'Spurs? The answer to that question is still in the lap of the gods, but it is something in Birraingham's favour that they have no Cup pre-occupations, and have lately -added Hampton (Villa) and. Lane (Blackpool) to their attacking strength. Their last two games also have given them 15 goals at a cost of none to thenoielves.

Nearly half an hour before the kick-off In the West Ham and 'Spurs' match at I ptou Park the gates of the ground were closed and between the touch lines and the barricades them was a crowd of a thousand while even on the top of the graml stand people were perched in dozens. Outside the ground thousands of people thronged. and a large force of police was necessary to keep hundreds of intending spectators from getting into the ground by a neighbouring allotment.

True, the light Irish forwards only held their own in loose play, but in this phase of the game they were veritable demons, and bited all the traditional abrindaa of their mot.
