to bustling methods rather than to any superiority in actual skill Bradford missed a good chance MoMillan after scoring from one penalty kick failing at a seoond a little while later Had advantage been taken of this it is hardly likely that Bristol would have got on terms but they stuck to their work well and after equalising just before the interval they scored the winning goal a few moments from the finish Manchester United beat Blackpool and so nyfTW ite Kven as befel the teams that had gamed their sixth victory in succession but they were met our visitors It is to their credit terribly hard-pressed and a draw would have more foclose half an hour they held their fittingly reprerented the result of own preventing any score Their forwards played tjcaUy the whole of the seoond half Blackpool penned I Klin yam their opponents in and experienced extremely hard luck in not scoring Twice the cross-bar was struck a hard bustling game and Braitwaitber at half was particularly active For the first time the New Zealand were fairly held in check and Challacombe but his 101b penalty placed him at an JjJ obvious disadvantage with horaeaof his own afe and to the ultimate winner he was conceding 26tb so ia finishing thud he showed hmaelf to be a good if not a high-class oolt such as one expects a St Leger hero to be From the moment that the betting settled down Glenamoy and Cape

superior condition and systematic packing told The New Zealand forward steadily obtained the upper hand their backs came into full play and in a quarter of an hour the game was all over Leicester made an even fight of it for some little time in the second half but only as long as their front rank were able to rather more than hold their own Directly the balance of power forward rested with the New Zealanders the superiority of their backs was very manifest Against their great pace and rapid movements the Leicester halves and three-quarters were quite helpless and though A Jones gave a creditable display at full-back the home defence broke down before a scries of attacks brilliantly executed In meeting the Leicester fifteen in something' like fair practice the Colonials were subjected to a more satisfactory trial than in their previous engagements and their fine win leaves no doubt as to the exceptional all-round strength of the side In gaining their fifth success off the reel the New Zealanders brought their score up to 29 goals and 18 tries or 197 points as against a dropped goal They are opposed by Middlesex on Wednesday but though severar prominent players are included in the county fifteen the latter are not likely to check our series of wins and on another occasion Montgomery in clearing sent the ball against the upright whence it rolled outside During all this time Bonthron played a great game at full-back and it waa a pity that after the match was over he should have been struck by a Blackpool player Fortunately the incident was observed by several people so that do difficulty will be experienced in bringing home the guilt to the proper person Both London clubs had formidable tasks but while Chelsea proved victorous at Leicester Clapton Orient went down before Burslem Port Vale Chelsea made an alteration in their forward line Robertson the old Small Heath player taking the place of Copeland at inside risrht The result of this was most happy for Robertson not only scored the only goal of the match but proved himself to be the best forward on the field After change of ends Chelsea were subjected to a good deal of pressure but Mackie and McEwan played splendidly and Foulke gave another clever exhibition of goalkeeping Chelsea have so far done better than their most sanguine supporters could have hoped for and with a record of four wins a draw and a defeat they stand third in the competition Manchester United and Bristol City being first and second respectively So moderately had Burslem Port Vale played there seemed just a chance that Clapton Orient might win but they found the stubborn defence of the Staffordshire club too strong for them Burslem are always difficult to beat on their own ground and after getting a lead of two goals they only allowed their opponents to score once In this match there were two penalty kicks both of which were successful Another new club Leeds City accomplished a capital performance by going to Lincoln and beating the local team Curiously enough each side scored from a penalty kick in the first seven minutes DIVISION Favoured aa they were without exception by delightful autumnal weather the ten in the championship competition on Saturday attracted crowds amounting in the aggregate to about 185000 The gates varied according to the importance of the contest from the 50000 at Goodiaon Park where the great local rival Everton and Liverpool met to the 7000 at Nottingham where the Forest had Preston North End as visitori After the roughness that marred the pleasure of so many matches a week before it is satisfactory to note that the afternoon ed off without any players suffering aerious injury As regard result home team came out very wei six winning outright and two avoiding defeat while Sunderland and Bury had to admit themselves beaten on their own grounds Taken all round the play went according to form but Stoke suffered their firsi reverse and Notts County gained their initial success these being the chief events in an afternoon that brought a most interesting football to a close That Stoke would actually lose at Ewood Park seemed scarcely probable seeing that among thIr five victories was numbered a substantial success over Blackburn Rovers As it happened however the tables were completely turned for instead of losing by three goals the Lancashire team put up that score against the side that hitherto had overcome all opposition Nothing occurred in the first half to suggest such a decisive issue but after change of ends the Rovers carried all before them and scored as many goals as the Staffordshire team had given away all their previous games put together Roose having for a novel experience A beautiful run ended in Davies getting the first goal and the others were obtained by Bowman and Birchall cf whom the last-named appeared instead of Bradshaw The Roven played fine football Crompton the international and Cowell the youngster from Nelson showing to great advantage at full-back and for this reason Stoke never settled down to the sound game that had marked their doings in five matches Derby County and Sheffield Wednesday the other two unbeaten aide fared better than Stoke and go to the front the Wednesday champions two seasons ago holding first place In scoring equally with Newcastle United they played their third draw and only the fact that tFey have fulfilled two more fixtures gives them pnde of place over Derby County whose record is similar to that attained by Stoke a week ago Newcastle United gave a capital display in the first half McClarence the centre-forward soon scoring but they were somewhat lucky after change of ends Stewart failing to equalise from a penalty and again missing a good opening after Crawshaw had put his side on terms sensibly be argued that so loaf as owners are content to run for their own money there no specific reason why any alteration should be made in the rioting state of things At ail events it is con-oeirable that powerful inducement is held out to of the patrician owner to keep their beat in training after their second or ere a third instead of feverishly rushing them off to the the esse a few yean ago So far as concerned tlx rarely pnrtici-s the spoils and the records point uninterrupted run of successes scored of wealth as

Baroness and Dorothy walked by Mr Starbuck and Mr Ward first and second in the class for bitches Dr Duke took the prize for the beet couple with Bangle and Banish The judges were Gillard and Medcalf There was simply a screaming scent in the Great-ham Woods when the Cottesmore Hounds paid their first visit to the district at the close of the week There were too cubs in abundance and the result naturally was a first-rate morning's sport The only drawback was the den-e nature of the woodlands through which at times bounds had positively to fight their way They eommenoed the business at a quarter-past six and at twelve o'clock were running just as ardently as when they had started Their wonderful condition however is a matter of common knowledge In the end they forced a tired cub away towards Pickworth swung round up to Woolfox and there rent him in tatters It was a glorious morning when the Biomter met at Astrop on Saturday In Bower honnda were soon busy with a strong litter of

the United Services a successful place-kick determining the issue In a contest that was not marked by any particular excellence of play the Richmond men were a triflo the better and in addition to winning they had the satisfaction of having a hard game the Services playing in a vigorous manner Overweighted and beaten forward the Old Leysiaas made a poor fight sigainst Blackheath despite the fact that the latter played no better than against Rosslyn Park on the previous Saturday Though without Hartley and Partridge the Blackheath scrummagers practically won the match by scoring three tries between them in the first half Behind the scrummage apart from the versatile Coopper the Kent club were only moderate The Old Merchant Taylors had no difficulty in beating ths Harlequ is who early showed signs of want of condition and readily gave way before their lighter but more energetic opponents Gloucester ran up a good score against their great local rivals Bristol but they did not gain the upper hand until the latter had lost Oates their full back As a sign of the times it is to be noted that Devonport Albion and Cheltenham in their game's on Saturday adopted the New Zealand method of playing seven forwards and eight backs and in each case the experiment was attended with remarkable results The Devcnport men beat Rosslyn Park who on the previous Saturday had played Blackheath an even game by 6 goals and 3 tries to nothing and Cheltenham after failing to score in the first half overcame Handsworth by 4 goals and 4 tries to nothing These results provide a little

at Park Royal and Brentford failing at Upton Park In meeting a side with a similar reoord Park Ranger seemed to have a good prospect but only by desperate attempts near the end did they reduce their majority to one goal Barno Warner and Pickering in turn put the hall past Kingsley in the first half but when Sugden scored just after resuming the spectators looked for a close finish but the necessity of Be van and Hitch changing places owing to the lameness prejudiced the chances and it was nearly time when Ryder obtained the last point in a hard match Re-arranging their forwards by putting Hiledon in the centre with Blackburn and Bridgeman next him West Ham United showed to much greater advantage than in any match this aeaaon Clever work by the three inside men produced a goal by Bridgrmall and in the second half Hiladon made his aide sure of victory Southampton won at Elm Park but owed their auuoee largely to the faulty Reading defence Tomlinson and Harrison scoring the

worked with an easy awing and complete understanding that waa quite foreign to the feeble attempt of tbe Arenas! and in defence Freebairn at centre half and Strut her and Baweratock at back were

few momenta at tbe start the whole line waa disorganised They might hare farad a lot better If Templeton had been looked after properly At a rough guesa he probably did not recelre the bail more than six times in the first half and on at least four occasions It waa rent so clumsily to him that it went Into tonch Once in the second half he get possession and raced away ending up with a beautifully placed centre A goal seemed certain bnt Crowe in trying to get at the ball to bead it hampered Fitchte who waa In the better poertkm and before the amateur could recover Strnthera had dashed In and

only two occasions when Woolwich Arsenal seriously threatened danger Not only did tbe half-backs feed toeir men badly but they were quite incapable of checking tbe movements of tbe Bolton forwards Apart from one or two good stops Sands waa weak and one cannot help thinking that be waa guilty of bad Judgment in lying so far back and no allowing the opposing side time to develop tbeir attacks in the middle of tbe field Tbe result was that when the ball came back from a wing man any of tbe inside forwards was able to take a clean shot at goal absolutely unhampered It redounds greatly to tbe tted it of Asbcroft that be never onoe faltered Not only did Im field tbe bail well but be invariably gut it away out of danger and on at least three occasions in tbe seoond half he had to clear when
