California Men Cannot Nth-
 stand Their Shifty Facts
REDSKINS ARE POPULAR
Spectators Are So Excited That They Carry Captain About on ShouI- ders While Their Eleven
 Is Defeated.

San Francisco. December 25.-Superior team work and an abundance of trick plays, coupled with more thorough train ing, gave the Carlisle Indian football team a decisive victory over the all-California eleven this afternoon In one of the most spectacular games ever played on the coast The score was 2S to 0. Ideal wealth CT conditions prevailed, and the field was in splendid condition for snappy playing.
 The attendance was about 1000. The par tisanship was equally divided at the out set. but at the conclusion of the game. the admiration for the redskins grew so intense that Captain Johnson was carried around on the shoulders of the crowd, af- ter several women had become so enthusi- astic as to embrace him.
 During the first few minutes of the play the all-Californians swept the Indians before them, and for few moments 1t looked as though the home team would have a walkover. But the ball soon moved to the Californians' territory, as soon as the Indians resorted to trick plays after having found that they could not successfully buck the line of a team that weighed 20 pounds heavier to the man.
 Captain Johnson made the first touch- down about the middle of the first half, but failed to kick goal The shiftlness of the Indians puzzled the California men greatly, and they were utterly unable to figure the generalship of the redskins captain Between Johnson and Williams. the Carlisle full back, the local men were kept guessing.
 During the scond half the Indians re- sumed their shifty tactics, and made hun dreds of yards on clever football. John son took the ball for most of the trick plays and kicked a goal in the last half. The California men rallied near the close of the game and spent their force In fierce bucks against the Indian line. This line of action soon tired the Californians and they were unable to score although with in 15 yards of the Indian goal posts.

DEFICIT FOUND.
Comfortable Present of Cardinal Gottl
 Is Now Explained.

Rome, December 25.-According to the Messagero, the story that Cardinal Gotti, prefect of the propaganda, re- Ncently handed to the pope $9,00O,O00, said to have been confided to the cardi- nal by the late Pope Leo XIII, origi- mated in the fact that in the financial investigation following Pope Leo's death a deficit of over $100,O00 was found.
 After diligent search and although no positive proof was obtainable it ap- peared evident that the only person who could have known where the money had gone was a certain mon signor living in the vatican. He at first asserted that he knew nothing of the matter, but, being more closely ques- toned and the evidence against him gathering, he one day said to the pope: Be patient God will provide for the needs of the holy see"
 Soon afterward the monsignor ap- peared with friend and said that Pope Leo had confided tho money with him, requesting him to return it to his sue cessor four months after his death.
