By BOB SHAND

The feat of the Vampires last Sunday
in trimming the Burns strongest team,
with only 10 men. is still being talked
about in soccer circles and the word is
being passed to keep an eye on the
Alameda team when honors are being
passed around. Vernon Showen is con-
hdent he has the best IL in the league
and IL viii be a big surprise to the en-
ergetic manager If the Vamps fail to
capture the championship.
The victory of the Alameda boys over
the Burns was the more notable be-
cause several OF the regular players
were not included in the team last Sun
day. Middleton, the clever fullback:
Alick Mckenzie, the hard working
half, and Forward Davidson were un-
able to turn out and it was only at the
last moment that three substitutes were
secured. lie Coulter, who played with
the Vemps four years ago, again
donned the blue jersey and played the
game of his life. Bernard and Hunter
were also at the top of their form,
Bernsrd's work in the front division
being mainly responsible for the five
goals gained by the Alamedans. The
one back game was played successfully
in the second half Hunter throwing the
Burns forwards offside whenever they
appeared TO have chance of doing any
damage. The Scots played good
game of ball and will win more games
than they lose, but any team on the
coast would have fallen before the
Vampires last Sunday
The official referee failed to put in an
appearance at Freeman's park and the
league game between the Thistles and
san Franciscos was called of and
friendly contest substituted. The
ThIstles were willing to accept practiG
caIly any one for referee, but the San
Franciscos, not having strong team
present, refused to go on with the
game The Thistles won the friendly
contest by a score of to Q. Larry
Patterson. the locals goal keeper, gave
one grand exhibition between the
sticks and prevented the Scots from
rolling up a larger score.

in the front rank.

media today, and there should be
number of interesting happenings be-
fore the festivities are over. The teams
are very evenly matched and 1t Is hard
TO pick a winner. Manager Wood of
the Thistles expected his two fullbacks,
Smith and Gore TO return to town in
time for this game, but they have not
put in en- appearance. Waeber and
Shanks will look after the last line of
defense and Muir McRitchie Will defend

For the sixth time in his six
years experience as a physician in
Spokane, DR.. II. 4. Callahan was

hardest and most determined fights
for recognition as an efficient doc

ance with letter he received from
the state board of medical exam

LOCATED

The relocation Of the Monroe
street bridge at Cannon street, Net.
tleton street, Elm street and even
so far west as Boone avenue, was
asked for at the council meeting
last night by residents north Of the
river. City Engineer Ralston was
instructed to prepare estimates ON
the cost of relocating the bridge at
Cannon and Nettleton streets, al
both the high and low levels, also
to render an opinion on the feasi-
bility of relocating the bridge at
Boone avenue, connecting the
Fourth ward with Fort Wright and
the surrounding farming country.
Councilmen Schiller and Lambert
spoke in favor OF the bridge at
Cannon street, Lambert favoring
the high level construction. It Ia
roughly estimated that the low.
level cost of construction win be
in the neighborhood of $25, 900.
while the high level bridge will cost
between $4,000 and 100000.
A number of Third and Fourth
ward residents talked on the sub
ject. the various locations having

Cruel Arm of Diaz Reaches
for de Lora.
DEFENDED IN
LOS ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 90
Friends of l.. Gutierrez de Lara,
Mexican socialist organizer arrest
ed here Monday as an alien anarch-
list, today launched a campaign to
raise $4,000 necessary to secure his
release on bail.
De Lara is practically without
funds, and his attorneys betrayed
the cost of legal proceedings. A
mass meeting will be held to raise
bail money. According to Immigra-
ton Inspector Ridgway, If De Lara
can establish an American resi-
dence of more than three years
time, and also can refute the an
archistic charge, he cannot be de-
ported.
Sonora De Lara declares the Mex
lean government seeks her hus-
bands life. The local Carpenters
union, comparing De Lara with Pro-
fessor Ferrer of Spain, recently ex-
ecuted, last night passed resolu-
tons protesting against the Rus
sian methods used by the enemies
of De Lara" and offering the SER
vices of the union in opposition to
methods that would shame a car
and disgrace any civilized COM
munity"
