Having divided four goals in the semi-final of the London Challenge Cup, West Ham and Brentford met again yesterday on the same ground at Stamford Bridge, and this time the Upton Park brigade, without playing a masterful game, contrived to win by 3-2. This gave West Ham the right to meet Arsenal next Monday on Clapton Orient's ground where the competition enters upon its last stage. As in the case of the first match, the West Ham attack belied the position held by the club in the First League, and I fear little of merit can he associated with their victory. The best incident of their play that one can afford to remember was concerned with the winning goal, less than two minutes from the end. This honour fell to Ruffell, who scored with a very delightful long shot that would have beaten many a better goalkeeper than Thomson. Although taking the lead six minutes' after the start, when Yews, unmarked and isolated, dribbled up the right wing to score with a fast grounder. West Ham were one down at the interval.  Brentford, who made one change from the side that won at Newport—Beecham for Walton in the half line - played a very uneven although brisk game in attack, but Lane again showed himself to be a forward of class. if falling away during the second half, and his side were unlucky to lose. On the extreme right Lane was supported by Hendren, and although the Middlesex cricketer wants plenty of room nowadays in which to play his football, he made no mistake yesterday when placing the ball. Thanks to Patsy's accuracy in that direction, he assisted Lane to score upon two occasions, the second coming off his head. 
West Ham equalised about 20 minutes after the resumption from a penalty, Moore had been brought down by Rae, and Ruffell, taking the kick. scored in a manner that suggested a careful study of the art. Thomson blinked—and that is all he could do. Hufton had more employment than Thomson, and just before Ruffell got the winning goal, to which I have already I alluded. the West Ham goalkeeper saved a great shot from Whitton. Apart from that effort, however, the Brentford centre forward, Whitton had an off day. The same remark will apply to Finlayson and Douglas, who got no change out of the industrious Carter and the subtle Hodgson. Bishop does not appear to have a consuming passion for Monday matches, and the character of his football at Stamford Bridge, although beautifully calm in the November sunshine, was hardly convincing. Perhaps It Is reasonable to that the West Ham forwards will show us their real quality in the final against a team who have already triumphed this season in the First League tourney upon two occasions. The receipts yesterday were £292.
