Rivals in the California Football

Footing

Games scheduled for today

San Francisco VS.. Hornets, at Free

Building Trades VS.. Burns, at Preside
athletic grounds; referee, L. Patterson.
Thistles VS.. Scotias, at San Mateo;
referee. j. Tassefl.
Vampires VS.. Albion Rovers, at Ala
media; referee, Fred Fewster
Never since the institution of the
California Football league has the COM
petition given such promise of pro-
xidlng great contest for the bunting.
The ThistleS, Independents, Vampires
and Albion Rovers are about on an
equal footing. and the rejuvenated San
Franc1ScoS will have to be reckoned
with. The San Francisco players made
one of their very best efforts last sun
day and licked the Scotias by eight
clear goals. The score could have been
20 to had the winners tried to pile
ponents Down easily when the second
half was in progress. Hailes put up a
splendid exhibition at inside right and
scored six of thesgoals by himself. The
other members of the team played like
champions and really made picnic of
the game. Meantime the dilapidated
Scotia outfit kept trying to get goal,
but there was nothing stirring.
The ThiStles sprung the surprise OF
the season in trimming the champions
by four goals. The RoVers have been
going along for the last two years
gathering in games with great regu-
larity. In fact, this was their first
league defeat in two seasons, and nat
urally it did not taste good. However,
the Thistles had the best of the game
and displayed just a little more dash
than their opponents, and this lost the
game for Moore's team. The Rovers
took their defeat In good spirit. and
the management is confident of turning 8
the tables when the teams next clash.
Archie Scott played magnificent game
for the winners and was responsible
for the quartet of goals. Two of the
points resulted from brilliant individual
dashes by Scott, and the other two came
after combination work in the open,
Scott being in time to notch the goals
at the first moment. The Rovers had
one of their bad days, and in the first
half did nothing right The Oakland
bunch woke up in the final period and
gave the Thistles a run for their money,
but with a lead of four goals the
Scotchmen were content to prevent
their opponents from scoring.
The Robert Burns team Is very
much improved combination, and by
defeating the Independents last Sun
day at the stadium the Scotch lads will
have to be considered a championship
possibility.

The American record for the distance is
