ALBION ROVERS PUT
OUT OF COMPETITION
Oakland Hornets End Cup
Aspirations of Their
Socker Rivals

OAKLAND. March 1.-THE Oakland
Hornets succeeded IN shattering the
Albion Rovers' cup aspirations in the
second round of the socker cup COM
petition today. and the score was
to 1 In favor of the Insects when
the final whistle blew. Much interest
centered in the contest, as In four pre-
vious meetings nothing definite had
been decided. In preliminary practice
game the result was a draw. one goal
apiece, and both league games ended
with similar scores. In the cup con-
test last week the finish came with
both teams owning couple Of goals
Mckenzie. center forward OF the
Hornets. had been rendered hors du
combat because Of the attention shown
him last week. Gande was brought IN
to I'LL the vacancy in the forward line
and this necessitated a Encouragement
of the attacking force. Elliott. who
formerly played outside right, took up
the pivot position and Gande went out
TO the line. Otherwise the teams were
the same as in last weeks game.
1t was apparent that the Hornets
realized what defeat meant, and for a
more, the sailor lad. was the first 70
begin the scoring Securing the ball
within the twelve-yard line. he made
no mistake. Elliott then succeeded in
penetrating the defense with a shot
which gave the custodian no chance,
and the Hornets were two goals UP.
The second period found the Rovers
in better form, but a lack Of combina-
ton work in front of goal was their
rfn ha faI1
McRitchie's charge was placed in dan
ger. and just as Elliott was on the
point of putting the ball into the net
he was deliberately tripped- For this
offense a penalty kick was awarded
and the Hornet captain sent the sphere
past Maria in way that gave the
custodian no chance to save.
Thereafter the Rovers had a spell OF
aggressiveness, but McRitchie was
found at the top Of his form. After
the Royers had tried all methods OF
beating the defense. Anderson was in
trusted with the ball twenty yards
from goal. Instead OF shooting, the
Rover center took sae ball to within
couple OF yards OF the big hole and
then let drive. Needless to remark. the
sphere found It's intended resting place
In an effort to obtain a second point
Anderson committed an indiscretiOn
which resulted in his being ordered off
the field by the referee. McRitchie had
just made a splendid save and had the
ball in his possession. Anderson tried
by foul means to obtain possession OF
the sphere, but was detected.
Hard knocks were in order from this
point until the hnisa. but no further
scoring resulted. The Hornets will
meet the Independents in the seminal
round a week from, Sunday

all the measuring stations of the club
and landed in a tree across the broad
path which circles the lake.
There is to be a national champion

August. in which the San Francisco
club will be represented by its clever
est casters. They have taken up the
practice of all the events on the cham
pionship programme in order to be on
an equality with the Eastern casters.
Their success yesterday surprised both
the casters and the spectators. The
performances give promise of greater
work to come. Kenniff used a six
ounce rod In sending out the 200 feet
of line. The lure weighed half an
ounce and was shaped like a cigar

Horses of the ordinary sort will per-
form at Emeryville today. The first
race, four-furlong dash for two-year-

Memorize and Rustler. Either may
win. San Gil was heavily played his
last out, but was virtually left at the
post Arthur Hyman showed speed in
his only race.
Blanche c will not have an appren-
tice UP and ii may be her day to win.
She is fast when ready and should beat
her field easily. Silver Lines last race
showed Improvement and she probably
will be the contender.
Modicum looks best of the poor lot
in the third. George P. McNear and
Veterano are the likeliest contenders.
Mandator is a rare mudder and may
be able to beat Dorado in the fourth.
Earl Rogers second to Collector Jessup
on Saturday demands consideration for
him.
Cadichon looks to be IN where he
ought to win in the fifth. Elevation

others are not much.

In the first round Jacksons entry de-
feated the stake favorite, Cheyenne, a
to shot. The son of Cavalier
went out in the lead and the result was
never in doubt. In the next round
Clyde. which had won his last two
stakes, was figured as a good thing
against Spurt. The latter was a to 2
shot and never allowed his competitor
a point. Argyle's Best, the entry of
]. Ryan. the Fresno leashman, went
down to defeat in the next round.
Louis Lagarmisino's The Crowd met

and a half furlongs and among the
ninety-one eligibles are some high
class performers. Firestone and Racon-
teur are entered and so is Smiley Cor

Humero, Brook Leaf, Martha Jane,
Bunker Hill. Import and Braggart. The

eleven firsts out of twenty-seven
mounts. Scoville was a distant Sec
