SATURDAY, MARCH 28TH.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE: MILLWALL v EXETER CITY.

The City team left St. David's at ten-fifteen this morning, andarrived-at Paddington at one-thirty. From there they proceeded to New Cross Station, followed by a walk of nearly a mile to the Den, the name by which the Millwall ground is known. Millwall commenced the present season in very poor shape, but since adding Hall, the old Aston Villa winger, and Williams, centre-forward, from Crystal Palace, things have improved. This morning they were three points behind Exeter in the League placings, with one game fewer. Harding played for the City in place of Strettle, and the teams were:

Millwall:- Orme; Kirkwood, Warren; Voisey, Wilson, Liddell; Garratt, Williams, Davis, Moody, Peake.

City:- Pym; Fort, Harding; Rigby, Lagan, Smith; Holt, Whittaker, Brooksbank, McCann, Marshall.

Referee:- Mr F.Heath, of Birmingham.

Upon arrival in London it was learned that Cambridge had won the boat Race, and in fact they had led all the way. Fine weather and spring sunshine prevailed at Millwall. The turf was soft on the surface, and sand had been sprinkled freely about the pitch.

There were 7,000 present when Rigby led the Grecians out, and among the crowd could be seen, and heard, a large company of Exeter followers wearing enormous red and white streamers. Millwall won the toss, and Brooksbank started the game. The ball was whipped out to Marshall but his intended centre went behind. The "Lions" quickly responded and the City's defence was severely taxed until Lagan got hold of a centre from Peake and changed the venue. Harding twice stopped Davis, but Millwall were not to be denied, and with the game 25 minutes old they took the lead.

Moody, from the touch-line, swung the leather across to the left, and from there pushed forward by Williams to Davis. Davis steadied himself and flashed in a drive which struck the under part of the crossbar and fell over the line. Five minutes before the interval McCann equalised, but Davis restored Millwall's lead after Harding had slipped and fallen over in attempting to tackle.

Millwall thoroughly deserved their half-time lead, although the second goal would never have been scored but for Harding's slip.

Another easy goal fell to the Lions in the second half, for the City defence got themselves into a hopeless mix-up, and three men were out of position when Pym, realising the danger, rushed out. As he did so Davis lifted the ball over him, and Moody, unmarked, ran forward and helped it into the net.

Final: Millwall Athletic 3 Exeter City 1.

PLYMOUTH LEAGUE:
RESERVES v MIDDLESEX REGIMENT.

The Reserves kept their hopes of the Championship alive at St. James's lark, where they defeated the 4th Middlesex by three goals to one. Rose gave them an excellent start by getting a goal in the first minute, the lead being held until shortly before half - time when a centre from Scoppie hit Pratt and bounced into the net. Rose, who was always in evidence, scored the second goal soon after the change of ends, and Goodwin the third.

Reserves:- Loram; Walker, Strettle; Cox, Pratt, Evans; Goodwin, Lewis, Rose, Lovett, and Orr.

Middlesex:- Morris; Fuller, Murphy; Vivian, Clark, Palmer; Perry, Smith, Churchill, Barnes, and Scoppie.
