Soccer Standings

LONDON (AP) - Chelsea held Portsmouth in I scoreless tie Sat- urday and so strengthened its hopes of celebrating 50 years in soccer by winning the English League championship for the first time. -

The Chelsea club, formed 50 years ago in I London pub. have yet to win I major honor. This time it loo 5 certain to mark its golden anniversary by winning the title.

Chelsea. with two games to play. leads Wolverhampton by four points. Chelsea have 50 points from 40 games and Wolves 46 points from 39 matches. Ports- mouth. Manchester City and Sunf- derland are bracketed on the 44- point mark. The league program calls for 42 games and ends May 4.

Wolverhampton. seeking its sec- ond straight championship. kept on Chlelseals heels with a 3-1 victory over a much-improved Arsenal club. It was Arsenal's first de- feat in eight games.

HANCOCKS SCORES 3 GOALS

Arsenal. third from the bottom of the First Division in mid-Feb- riiary, now is seventh from the top. Saturday the Londoners found Wolverhampton in top form before a crowd of 40,000. '

Sharp - shooting winger .lohnny Hancocks put the Wolves ahead in the first minute. Arsenal inside forward Doug Lishman made it 11. Then Hancock: came along with two more goals to give Wolves I good margin. '

Cup finalists Manchester City forced I 1-1 tie against Charlton Athletic. Manchester's scorer was inside forward Bobbie-Johnstone. That goal kept Manchester among the leaders with 44 points from Ill) games -- and still an outside chance of completing the cup and league championship double. No team has done that this century.

Newcastle United. which meets Manchester in the cup final at Wembley Stadium May 7. won 2-0 at Huddersfield.

Centre forward Ted Purdon scored both Sunderland's goals in a 2-1 victory over Preston North E
