SCOTCH TEAM WINS
INTERNATIONAL
SOCCER GAME
Representatives of England Play
Good Football, bur Lose by
Score OF TO 0
By Bob Shand

Encouraged By the strains OF . full
blooced piper who paraded round the
feld playing Scotch airs. the "Hoot
Mons" put the crusher q 10 > on the
lads who drop their h's in the inteTna-
uonal soccer game between representa-
uves Of England and Scotland at Free
mans park yesterday As an exhibit
ton OF association football as il ought
70 be played. the game was the real
Mccoy
Two changes from the teams origi-
.-1t14 selected were noticed when the
teahs lripped upon the field Hailes
taking Tommy Fay's place on the Eng
lish side and Billy Robertson flling for
DnncaRson on the Scotch side
No sooner had the opening whistle
sounded than The lads from Caledonia
maqe a concerted rush down the field,
anc mckenzie tried the first shot al
IfoWley- II was an easy save and the
Eng Ilsnmen got busy a the other end.
scott and smith were in splendid form
al full back. and what passed them was
SslelN taken care OF by McRitchie. u =
ilOt was conspicuous by his deadly
shooting, and OF several occasions came
within an inch OF scoring. The Scotch
men returned TO the attack soon, and
throughout this period had the best Of
lie play. Perkins played magnificent
game for the Englishmen and time and
again took the ball from three oppo-
nents single handed. Billy Robert
son was safely bottled up by the San
Francisco halfback and never had a
chance TO do any damage.
The Scotch forwards, contrary to ez-
pectations. were much faster than the
English lads. and frequently outfooted
the opposing halfbacks.
Dowding. another member OF the San
Francisco team, was in great form al
back, and on one occasion in particular
saved his goal when a score seemed
imminent
The only score Of the game was made
shortly before half time. Mckenzie
passed out TO Scott. and that player
centered. Crowley saved and the ball
i.rebOunded of Grant TO the foot OF the
4 ever ready Scott. and the Thistle man
tailed with an unsavable shot

Jockey Butler Pilots Eight
Winners During Week

The jockey honors of the last week
at Emeryville fell to Jimmy Butler
who has begun TO show the good form
that earned for him a large following
on the metropolitan tracks last summer.
Butler booted in eight winners which
was better than any other boy was able
10 do. Miller and Keogh, with four
winners each, were his closest COM
petitors. With the improved class of
mounts that his superior showing will
bring 10 him Butler probably will
climb close to the top OF the jockey
list for the meeting during the coming
week. His standing improved mate
rally the last few days, and Miller.
Walsh. Powers and keogh only lead
him at the present time, in the order
named Jockey Notter. who as well
as Butler. is under contract to Charlie
Ellison. failed TO set the world afire
during the three days that he has been
in the saddle. Aside from the leaders s
showing the honors of the week were
well distributed, as the following rec

FOREIGNERS AND BRITISH TITLES

An interesting parallel in the peer
age Of Scotland to the barony OF Fair
fax. the claim to which has just been
decided is the Newburgh earldon, the
holders OF which have for more than a
century been Italian mobiles. In 1857
Cecilia, granddaughter of Charlotte
Maria. countess of Newburgh, became
the wife of Benedict, Prince Giusti-
miami, and in 1873 her son Vincent be-
came de jure the sixth earl, although
he did not claim the title. Since that
time the Scottish peerage. which was
confirmed by the house of lords to
Vincent's daughter. has been distinctly
foreign and quite dissociated from
this country. On the death Of the third
baron Gardner the claimant to the title
was one Alan Hyde Gardner. the son
OF a Mohammedan princess and the
husband OF an Indian wife.-Westmin-

RIVER AND HARBOR
MEASURE IN DOUBT
Committees of Congress Find
Treasury Deficit Likely to
Prevent Legislation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The ques-
tion whether there will be a rivers and
harbors bill during this congress is
members of both houses.
In accordance with the usual custom
of passing such bill only once every
two years no effort was made to get
one through last session. but it was
then generally understood that no OBJ
stacles would be placed in its way at
the second session. Now the commit
tees having charge of the. question are
confronted by a constantly growing
deficit in the treasury. with the result
that they are unable to give any salts
factory assurances to colleagues, who,
like themselves, want legislation.
knowledge of the situation is, how
ever, having but little if any influence
to reduce the pressure and the impor-
tunate ones are urging the prospect of
improved business conditions Senator
Frye. chairman of the senate commit
tee, and Representative Burton, who
holds like position at the head of the
house committee. are giving due ere
dence TO these representatives. but so
far they are not prepared to say what
will be done.
There is a clamor for enterprises
which tentatively have been promised.
New and old projects would call for the
immediate appropriation OF about $685.
00o, 900.
If bill is undertaken there will be
a strenuous effort to include therein
authority for the beginning of the
much advocated deep waterway from
Chicago to the gulf. This is regarded
as an essential part OF the plan for
the Improvement of the inland water
courses, and If 1t should be undertaken
in earnest the advocates of the new de-
parture would find in 1t reason for
much encoura cement for general ad-
vance.

MANY FLUCTUATIONS
IN STOCK MARKET
Change of Views on Colorado
and Southern Transfers Illus
trates Speculative Unrest

NEW YORK, Dec. 27--The closing OF
the stock exchange last week on Thurs
day evening to remain closed until Mon
day morning made the week a short
one in financial affairs. the banking
business on Saturday proving largely
nominal
\ fuctuating state OF sentiment was
fairly illustrated in the change OF
views of the significance OF the Colo
rado and Southern purchase BY the Chi
eago. Burlington and Quincy. In the
semidemora1ized break IN prices on
Monday this incident was made TO hg
ure as one of the impelling causes.
and in the later rebound It was as
signed equally as the ground for en-
thusiastic speculative buying
The first point OF view was due 10
profsssed apprehension that this new
departure on her part OF the Hill rail-
ways might forestall a struggle similar
to that precipitated by the first control
of the Burlington in the Joint interest
of the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific which had such disastrous conse-
auences 10 the speculative position in
1901.
A revised estimate OF the Colorado
and Southern transaction saw in il a
prelude 10 other combinations along
the same lines which would bring all
the available Southwestern and Gulf
outlet railroad systems into combination
with the different Northwestern rail-
road powers
The money market gave evidence
by its rather easier and renewal
OF confidence that the end year
period OF extra requirements would
be safely bridged. Encroachments OF
the cash holdings of the banks con-
tinued large. but the early liquidation
in the stock market and supplies at
tracted from outside sources. relieved
the requirements.

PASTOR TAKES Up
ANTI-SALOON WORK
Rev. A. c. Bane Delivers His
Farewell Sermon at Howard
Methodist Church
Preacher Emphasizes the Need
of Attempt to Attract All
Classes to Religious Life

Rev. A. C Bane retired yesterday
from the position OF minister OF the
Howard Methodist church in order TO
enter his new field of work as district
superintendent of the California anti
saloon league. He will still make his
home in San Francisco. but his new
work viii send him through the coun-
ties of San Mateo. Marin. Mendocino
and Lake. He will travel TO the differ
ent sections and every Sunday will
speak at two or three churches on the
new order of work which he has under
taken. His appointment was made at
the request of the San Francisco feder-
alton, composed of clergymen and rep
resentative laymen OF the Protestant
churches in this city.
DR.. Bane has been the pastor OF the
Howard Methodist church for seven
years. His farewell sermon yesterday
morning was listened TO by a large con-
gregation. He said in part:
Many are n0tN in the church today.
Large classes are not Influenced by the
church. 1t is not the Lords fault; the
people are about the same In all ages.
1t must be that the church is not ade-
quately fulfilling her mission.
Many OF our best educated and most
cultured people are not in the church.
Many of our businessmen and men of
large financial affairs are not in the
church. The great mass OF laboring men
and OF the extremely poor are not in
the church, and these compose a major
| ity Of our people.
Why are these people not in the
church? You answer, the commercial
spirit and the world. Y spirit of the age
keep them out. This is largely true
But perhaps the church. as conducted,
does not appeal to these people. Per-
haps we have not learned how TO win
them. Perhaps We do not possess the
power TO command their attention
why is the church composed largely
OF women? Have we appealed more to
the emotions than TO the mind? Have
we failed to preach the manliness OF
Jesus? Have we failed TO apply the
gospel 10 mans worid2
1--WE are not acquainted with these
classes that neglect the church, as we
should be. We should come in touch
with them socially, so as to know their
temptations and trials. then they will
feel that we sympathize with them.
I'VE must see TO 1t that we do not
become a church of a class, but rather
| of all classes. All these classes have
| spiritual natures that we should reach
