SAN FRANCISCO AND
SCOTIAS OUT OF
CUP CONTEST
Albion Rovers and ThisfIes Are
Victorious in the Soccer
Games
By Bob Shand

The results of yesterdays soccer
games relieves the San Franciseos and
Scotias of further worry in connec-
tion with the cup competition. The
Albion ROvers took the Scotias into
camp at the Alameda grounds by a
score of too, and the Thistles trounced
the San Franciscos at the Presidio
grounds. . to l.
1t was walkover for the Rovers,
and the Scotias gave up the futile
struggle before the game was half
over. One of the Scotias backs put
the ball through his own goal soon
after the start and Milne kicked
through a nice cross from Walters
shortly afterward, making it to O.
Before the conclusion of the first halt
the wing, and Pike made the necessary
connections. 1t was to at halt
time.
Milne made it when Walters sent
the ball across the goal mouth and
before the finish McKiernon tried a shot
a bad attempt to clear and the ball
went through his legs into the net.
The Rovers Stacked up then and had
little fun at the expense of their
weaker opponents.
The game at the Presidio grounds be-
tween the San Franciscos and Thistles
was keenly contested. and it was all
Scots could do to get away with
the long end of the score. Both teams
were at full strength and the game
was replete with fast and snappy plays
Thistles appeared TO be in the bet
ter condition, and TO this fact can be
attributed the success Of the team.

MAN WHO BOOSTED
JOHNSON ALONG
IS HERE
JEFF Must Be Right or He'll
Have No Chance" Says
Fitzpatrick

Sam Fitzpatrick, the man who
brought Jack Johnson to the front and
was discarded by the black champion
after the fight with Burns, arrived from
Vancouver yesterday and registered at
the Hotel Stewart. Fitzpatrick, who is
one of the few remaining members of
the old school of managers, takes a
philosophical view of the matter and
has no tears to shed.
We have broken up. and that's all
there is to it," says Fitzpatrick. Il
worked for two years to bring John
son to the front and finally succeeded,
with his assistance, of,course. But it's
the same old story. He thinks he can
manage himself and share all the
profits. In the meantime, l guess 1 will
have to dig up another champion for
myself
Il honestly believe that Jeffries is
the only Hghuer In the world who would
stand cnance with Johnson, and he
must get into the best possible shape if
ne ever expects to make a showing
with the big smoke. The whole thing
hinges on this. With Jeff in shape, the
fight would prove one of the greatest
ever pulled off in any ring.
1T looks as though JEFF will be forced
70 declare himself one way or the other
within the next week or so. Johnson

jeff must either say yes or no. He
can't expect to keep on at his present
clip, for l don't think that the public
Will stand for it.
l have nothing to say against John
son, only l don't like the way he has
been knocking the moving pictures of
the fight. He claims they were doc
tored, but this is not So They are as
f1ne set OF films as were ever taken.
and they should make a great hit in
this country. They proved big sue
cess In Australia. Johnson says that
the fifth round is being shown twice,
but as there was kpockdown in his
put there is no truth in this assertion.
Il believe that the Johnson Burns
fight drew about S125,0OO and perhaps
little more. Something like 10000
people turned out to see it and some of
them waited in line for their tickets
from midnight the night before
johnson. to my way of thinking is
just as great a fighter as Peter Jack
son ever was. In fact, l think that this
pair is about a standoff. Johnson has
the nerve and the courage now, and is
100 per cent a better man than he ever
was. l don't think that he fears Jeff
RES or any man alive. He believes that
he can beat them all.

of money had he remained in Australia
