Last Stages of the League

A point was required by the Rangers to ensure them the championship of the~ Sodttish League. But they are still in need of that point. They were decisively beaten by the Hibernians at Edinburgh. They have yet to meet the Heart of Midlothian and Kilmarnock. A draw from either of these games would being them success. One club, the Airdrieonians, can tic with the Rangers, and to do so -they would have to win their two outstanding games and the Rangers would have to lose both of theirs. The Airdrieonians beat Third Lanark at Glasgow. At the foot of the table the Hamilton Academicals took a point from Aberdeen. and Alloa drew with Ayr United. The Albion Rovers lost at Falkirk. Two of these three must go tu the Second Division, and one of the three is Alloa. Their fate was settled.

The competition in the Second Division continues close and keen. Queen's Park, Clydebank and St. Johnstone were all winners. Two of these three will go to the First Division. AAnd Queen's Park am-atours seem certain of promotion.
