contest should be a real good one.
The team which will represent Gait
fornia in the north this spring IS still
an unknown quantity. but the selection
committee will shortly get busy and
tab the best players. Some of the anna
teur selectors have already picked the
team which will make the trip, and
one fan, who forgets to sign his name
has suggested the following eleven:
McRitchie (Thistles), Smith (This-
tles), SellIirk (AlbiOn Roversl, Ander-
son independently, Gore CThistles),
McKiernon (Albion Rovers), Fay (Inde-
pendents), Mckenzie (Vampires), FL

and Scott (Thistles).
This is a likely looking bunch OF

Will be a number of changes when the

IN SOUTH
Fans Expect Brifisher to Have
Tough Time i'm Ring With
Hard Hitter
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

Los ANGELES, Jan. 30.-Pugilistic
interest hereabouts centers in the 10
round match next Tuesday night be-
tween Freddy Welsh and George Mem
sic, or Jimmy Burns, as he prefers
to be known Is Welsh's acknowledged
strength and hard hitting ability? is
the question that bothers the local
fight fans. Both boys are virtually
at weight and while both will put on
big shows at their respective training
quarters today. their hard training is
completed.
Burns is admitted to have q knock
out wallop in either hand, and if he
fights in his old time form he is due
to give the Britisher one of the hard
est battles of local ring history. Burns
has sought to develop this punch dur
ing his training, and those who have
seen him sail into his sparring part
ners and floor them repeatedly are in
clined to give him a good lookin with,
Welsh.
Burns stock has taken boom in
the last few days and his own conf
dence has affected those who have
been watching his performances.
Welsh isn't talking much, but he is
training hard He has faced many
good lightweights in Los Angeles, has
disposed of all except Mcfarland
with whom he fought a draw, and
considers Burns merely an incident in
his path. Betting Ms to /, with
Welsh favorite, but this may change.
as the plungers are likely to string
with Burns.

By Bob Shand

For the first time in two years the
soccer footballers were stalled by the
rain last Sunday. The players ap-
peared at the grounds and in some
cases were more than willing to go on
with the contests, but the referees de-
clared the grounds unplayable in every
instance.
The card arranged fer today is an
unusually attractive ono and the cham
pionship will in all probability be de-
cided at Alameda. The Independents
and Vampires will meet on the Vamps'
home lot, back of Johnny CrolIs hotel,
and if the Vamps garner both points at
stake they will probably annex the
bunting without much difficulty. The
Independents are still in the running,
but the Greens" have less chance of
capturing the honors than the Thistles
or Vamps.
If the Vampires lose today and the
Thistles dispose of the San Franciscos,
the Scotchmen will land at the top of
the table with a total of II points
against the vamps' 20. If the Vampires
win and the Thistles lose then the
Alameda boys will have clear sailing to
the championship, as they will be 3
points ahead of their nearest rivals and
only TWO more games to play. On
recent form the Indies will give the
leaders a hard run for their money
and there is no saying which will win
the game. The Indies style of play is
calculated to beat such a combination
as the Bats, and If Fay & Co. play their
usual game there will not be much be-
tween the teams at the finish.
1t is absolutely impossible to predict
the winner of the San Mateo game as
the San Franciscos can not be relied

season. When in form the San Fran
cfscos can give any team in the bust
ness an argument but if the lads do
not feel in the humor they are just as
well satisfied with beating With
the knowledge of what is at stake the
Thistles can be depended upon to be
on their mettle today, and with their
loyal supporters, several hundred
strong, to root for them. it is likely
that Tom Woods team will garner the
spoils. 1t does not do to forget about

1900 At GLASS
PARK

A crowd estimated at 1900 people
attended the special band concert
given in Glass park, in the upper
end of Lidgerwood, last night by
Professor Reemer's band, under the
auspices of the park board. The
park was gaily decorated with Chi
nese lanterns and seats from the
Kenwood Christian church were
used for the accommodation of the
public.
Professor Reemer's band of IS
pieces gave program of two and a
half hours duration, in which sac
red, patriotic, classic and the late
catchy airs were nicely combined.
The ladies of the Kenwood Chris
tian and the Lidgerwood Presbyter-
ian churches were at the park side
with refreshment booths and did a
flourishing business.
The concert tonight at Liberty
park will close the 10 week contract
of Professor Reemer with the park
board. He has arranged, however,
with the Spokane Traction Co. to
continue the Sunday concerts at
Mantle park.

that the Cowles interests hoped
that the Pan Tan publication would

his immediate dismissal from

doomed to disappointment. Dono-
