The seasonable November fogs must have matched London footballers' gloom on Saturday night as they glanced at the achievements of their twelve teams in the three divisions of the League. Only two victories were recorded—by Millwall (going strong for promotion from the third division) and Crystal Palace in entertaining Bristol Rovers and Torquay respectively. Five other London sides playing at home could not prevent their visitors from taking away a point apiece. Arsenal, Brentford, Fulham, West Ham and Watford. Carlton Athletic in visiting Wolverhampton had to be content with a draw, but four other visiting Londoners—Chelsea, Tot-denham Hotspuz, Queen's Park Rangers, Clapton Orient—returned empty-handed. Chelsea's defeat by four goals to one at Everton represented the biggest London upset of the day, although Brentford should have been able as leaders to have done better on their own ground than share six goals with Middlesbrough. So out of a possible 24 points London only added ten to its totals as the result of the day's football. Incidentally Millwall were the only leading side to win. In the First Division the highest winners from last week's table were Bolton Wanderers in the seventh place, and in the Second Division Sheffield United in the fifth place. In the Third Division (Northern) Oldham Athletic in the second place helped Millwall to vindicate the form of leaders.
