ception. In the fourth inning he was
called traitor when he connected
with one of Hunts slow balls for
neat double, sending two Sox across
the plate.
In the fifth he speared a fast drive
half way between second and third
that looked like sure single and
threw Jimmy Shinn out at first. He
got hand but an urchin cried
Traitor" and others shouted That s

bases full, Gandil drove the ball into
right and two more Sox scored

TO SOCCER LEAGUE
Vote to Stand by Executive
Committee i'm Withdrawing
From Cup Series
Bv BOB SHAND

At a meeting of the Albion Rovers
soccer team Monday evening II was
resolved to abide by the decision OF
the executive committee in voting TO
withdraw the eleven from the cup
games. The Rovers were scheduled TO
meet the Burns last Sunday. but. after
appearing on the grounds. the men
were ordered not to play by the eXecu-
tive committee of the club
The Rovers notified the association
several days ago that they would not
play the entire cup series in San Fran
cisco. They declared that the Alameda
county public had supported the game
Loyalty and it would be an injustice 10
the latter to play the entire cup series
in San Francisco.
Secretary Goodman received this
notification with bland smile and
game last sunday They did report
but they refused to play.
1t was unanimously resolved at a
meeting of the RoveFs that the club
should cooperate with. some of the
leading clubs which took part in the
league competition and conduct an m
dependent competition in Alameda
county
For starter benefit game for J.
Evans of the San Francisco club has
been arranged for next Sunday. and
the fact that the game is being played
for charity probably will dispel the
reports that the insurgents withdrew
from the cup competition on account Of
financial difficulties.
If the association desires TO continue
the cup series it will be severely han
dicapped by the absence of the leading
clubs. for several of the best teams in
the league have already gone on record
as being in favor of the stand taken by
the ROvers.
The disruption of the association ap-
pears to be inevitable unless an under
standing is arrived at with the protest
ing clubs The association will hold a
special meeting Friday evening. at
which the matter viii be discussed.

While the wasted condition of the

LOVE LETTERS Of
DUCHESS ARE READ
Sensational Epistles introduced
as Evidence in French
SwindIe Suit

TOURS, France. Dec. GA tempes-
tuous day in the court where Count
d'Aulby de Gatigny and his American
wife are on trial on the charge of
swindling, reached a climax today in
the introduction of love letters, alleged
to have been written to D'Aulby by
the duchess of ChoiseuI-Prafslin. the
plaintiff in the case, while she was the
wife of Charles Hamilton Paine.
During the reading of these letters,
which the duchess refused to acknowl-
edge as hers. the duchess and the
Countess" D'Aulby sat side by side,
exchanging furious glances, while the
courtroom. jammed to sufocation with
fashionable women, was filed with
sighs. murmurs and exclamations. as all
strained to catch the words.
q love you so hard" read NJ Ber-
nard, counsel for D'Aulby, that it
makes me i'll. You have given your
self to me. All I ask is that you love
me always. That is Gods best gift.
The day passes. fire dies. but my love
goes on forever. 1t is an incandescent,
consuming flame that dulls me, sitting
at your knees, Graded in your heart
LUCY"
The duchess underwent a pitiless
cross examination as to her relations
with d'Aulby. but she refused to an
swer many questions and begged the
court to intervene to spare her.
She charged that d'Aulby demanded
100000 for the return of letters which
she had written him, and that his en-
sire conduct was that of a blackmailer
after the discovery that the paintings
were worthless. She denied that she
presented jewelry to d'Aulby. including
a golden paddock, bearing the inscrip-
ton: You have the key !.
NJ Labigur, business agent of the
duchess, whom NJ Bernard attacked
yesterday, sent a challenge tonight to
Bernard to a duel. but the seconds de-
cided that NJ Bernard had, not exceeded
his rights and that duel was not jus

His Departure

The Unexpected departure of Bud

also of Glenn H~Curtiss, through whom
Mars was signed for the local meet.
In justification of his action. Mars
said that tour of the world meant
100000. to him, as against the $4,000
offered him here. His agent had made
the arran gements necessitating his
early departure, although he had sought
unsuccessfully to have theSdate of his
sailing deferred, so that he might graf
ify his wish to fly in this city
Curtiss asserts that Mars has, cast
discredit upon the Curtiss camp by fail
ing to keep his agreement and 5. to
show that all aviators do not regard
their word so lightly, he says he will
make great many concessions and
give numerous extra features in the

whatever in stating the facts beneficial

in a stream by the sanatorium which
he wanted to blow away and talked
with me about it, I put a cap on a
