Trivia
- George Boardman in 10, Davie Ness in 44, and Johnny Ballantyne in 67 minutes are the scorers for the Partick Thistle F.C. team as Celtic stumble.
- There were no fireworks from Celtic as the Jags beat them for the third time this season.
- It was curious that in the First Division of the Scottish League on Saturday three clubs should have won with scores of 6-1. Heart of Midlothian, Motherwell, and Cowdenbeath did so, and the Rangers were winners by a 5-0 margin. Amongst the day's losers were Aberdeen, Hamilton Academicals, and the Celtic, and the competition is all the poorer today because of their backsliding.Rangers top the table.
- Playing better football than the Wanderers all through the game before a crowd of 40,000 at Wolverhampton, the Arsenal gained a fine win by seven goals to one. Although strengthened by the inclusion of Ted Ivill, transferred from Oldham, the Wanderers' defence experienced a most unhappy time against the clever Arsenal front line, whose skill in combined play proved a constant menace. David Jack scored a hat-trick.
- The rivals for the American Presidency, Mr Herbert Hoover and Mr Franklyn Roosevelt reached the height of their electoral campaign on Saturday—Mr Hoover at St Paul (Minnesota) and Mr Roosevelt at a Democratic party rally, in New York, where he was accorded a great welcome. The general opinion of the foremost political analysts is that Mr Roosevelt's election is a foregone conclusion.

CELTIC BEATEN AGAIN
There were thrills in plenty at Firhill Park, Glasgow, where Partick Thistle continued their winning way by giving the Celtic another defeat by three goals to nothing.
The Celtic must be feeling that the Thistle are their bogey, for this was the third time this season the Firhill team have triumphed over them.
There was nothing of the lucky nature in the home side's victory which would have been greater if Boardman in the closing Stages had not missed some easy chances.
On the run of the play, there was not much between the sides, but the Thistle held a decided advantage when it came to finishing. Their inside men, McMillan and Ballantyne, kept the play open, and their varying tactics bad an upsetting effect on the Celtic defence, in which Cook, McStay, and Geatons were best.
Napier was the best of the Celtic forwards, but he got little scope from Gamming, the Thistle left back, who was the best defender on view.
From the start, play was of a fast description, with the Thistle forcing the pace, and in nine minutes good work by McLeod and Torbet let Boardman through to beat Kennaway with a great drive.
After that it was a great fight, with neither defence giving way until two minutes from the interval 'when Kennaway in punching away a shot from McMillan fell in contact with Boardman. Before the goalkeeper could get up Ness, who had secured possession showed fine judgment by lobbing the ball over the heads of the players into the net.
The second half play was not so interesting. There was too much going for the man and leaving the ball and the referee's whistle was continually going for free kicks. It was from one of these awards that the Thistle secured their third goal near the end, Ness sending the ball into goal for Ballantyne to head into the net.
The attendance was about 24,000.
