On a sloppy field and before a large
crowd of spectators the Independents
yesterday beat the San Franciscos to
0 al Freemans park. Oakland The
first half was nip and tuck for about
10 minutes, when the San Franciscos
took the game in hand and harassed
the Independent goal. There was no
scoring in the first half
The first 20 minutes of the second
half found the teams pressing in rota-
tion, and there was nothing TO choose
between them. Then the Indies woke
up and gave the opposing defense
something to think about Anderson
from the half back line droped a long
shot in front of goal, and Lewis care
ing it over the bar or throwing il out.
While he was trying to kick it away
the Independent forwards bore down
on him and rushed the ball through.
Five minutes later Dowding missed the
ball 20 yards from goal, and Donohue
lying handy, made connections and
walked through alone. This made it
2 to 0, and the San Franciscos Were
beaten.

.LANGFORD MAKES A
HIT WITH HIS
BOXING
C0IOred Wonder From Boston
Works Out Before Local
Fans for First Time
By w. J. SIaffery

Sam Langford, the man whom all the
local fight fans have been longing 10
cast their glances upon. worked out
for their edification at Milletts yes
terday afternoon for the first time in
California. The fine weather brought
big crowd to the Colma resort. ana
when Sam stepped into his gymnasium.
ready for the days stunts. full house
greeted him and it was necessary to bar
the doors in order to give the dusky
one from Boston a chance to train In
peace and comfort.
If he can fight as cleverly and as
deftly as he trains. Sam will surprise
the multitude. Old timers who watched
him at his work yesterday say that he
is a second Dan Creedon in the gym.
He showed them his cleverest work.
and he did it in such businessIke and
artistic manner that they were all
ready to vote him a great boxer.
AS soon as he stripped for action.
the husky black al once showed that
he was in good condition, even though
he had done no training for two months.
He looked to weigh about $50 pounds,
and the muscles stuck out prominently
on his massive shoulders and brawny
arms and legs. I'm fact. he shaped up
like a gladiator ready for the fray.
Sam demonstrated to the crowd that
he was hard puncher as we'll as a
foxy boxer and If he can stand up in
the ring and fight against man who
is rushing him he will make good.
However, we have seen SO. many fine
y
10 do any good in the ring that we will
have to wait for Sam to show us when
he faces Flynn on the night of Decem-
ber 81.
Langford went six rounds in all, two
with little Jimmy CARROLL two with
Chicago Jack Gardner, a formidable
looking middle weight, and two with
Sam Mills. a husky black heavy. who
looks strong and aggressive enough to
pick Langford up and toss him through
the tranSorn.
s r e.
died around and did a lot of footwork.
Walsh is lightning fast and amused
the crowd with his clever jabs and
rushes at dusky Sam. When Gardner
came on Langford opened up a bit and
showed those present a, few things that
he has It his command and every one
of them savored of the classy fighter.
Langford met his man fairly every
time and beat him to nearly every
thing. He used both hands to effect.
and punched both in close and at long
overlooked an opportunity of putting
one over. His tryout with Gardner at
once reminded the old boys of Dan
Creeden in his palmy days,
Big Mills hustled and hustled Lang
ford around the ring in a lively man
ner, but when 1t came to landing the
punches and blocking him the man
from Boston demonstrated his worth
at every turn and clearly showed that
he has had a lot of experience in hght-
ing men who have the advantage OF
height. reach and weight.
Judging from his present form Lang
ford surely should be able to fit him
self for hard fight with a week $
work. He is now on the lookout for
live sparring partners. and any middle
weights who feel inclined to take a
chance. in the Colma gymnasium will
be gladly accommodated.

Record Breaking Scores Are
Made by Gun Experts

Record breaking scores made yes
terday by the gun experts of the Call
fornia Schuetzen club and A. o. Bremen,
one Of the best marksman in the city
won the valuable trophy which was
hung up for the best score. Bremers
score was PA wings which is the high
est tally ever made by a member of
the California Schuetzen club. F. H
Bremen. a son of the winner of the
trophy made his father handle his
gun with expert eyactness. The for
mer's score was only two wings less
than of O. A. Bremen.
Up 10 the shoot of yesterday two
men were tied for the medal r. l.
Fraser and o. a. Bremen had each
made 22S wings for a 10 shot score
The trophy donated by Philo Jacoby
was to be presented TO the marksman
making the highest score for the sea
son A Strecker made a score of 224
wings yesterday. and his two sons also
made remarkably good scores.
The shoot was the last of the sea-
son so far as the California Schuetzen
club is concerned. In all probability
better scores would have been made
oy all the contestants but for the dull
ness of the day.

West virginia is the latest of the
states to take or forestry work. A
school to teach forestry has been o..
.ned as a branch oG the State Univer-
sity at Morgantown. coincident with
this. a State association has been
formed TO study and promote tree
planting and woodland protection. The
membership consists. for the most
part, of men connected with oranges
and agricultural societies in all parts
Of the state. In addition to this. the
State Board of Trade has appointed
committee to draft forest law

before the legislature for action next

feet, and broadleat species cover the
lower slopes. One Of the finest hard

lies in that State.
The wooded mountains feed the trib-
