Stockholm, Aug. 16.-Before an en-
thusiastic crowd of more than 10000
the American soccer football team,
which is touring neutral Europe, played
a tie game against an sll-StGkholm
eleven in the first international match
at the Stadium. The score was one
goal to each side.
The American pilgrims outplayed the
locals throughout the first half Of the
contest. and were cheated of victory
only because of the phenomenal play
of Almquist, the giant goal tender OF
Stockholm. In the last half the visi-
tors began to tire, though they sue
ceeded in scoring first. 1t was after
thirty minutes of the second half had
been played that Ford, Of the Jersey

LEONARD FAVORITE
OVER JOE AZEVEDO

Saratoga, n. Y, Aug. 16.-Kid Nc,
Partland will referee the ten-round
bout between Benny Leonard and Joe
Azevedo at Convention Hall here on
Friday night. At one time the match
threatened to fall through because
Dick Curley, manager of Azevedo, in
sisted that Charley White, of New
York, must be the third man in the
ring But Billy Gibson's contention on
behalf of MacPartland was so logical
that Curley finally gave way, and now
everything has been smoothed out.
During the last two days there has
been much speculation among the bet
ting men at the big hotels regarding
the winner of the match. While
Leonard is a slight favorite because of
the general belief that he might pos
sibly score on points, the Western
horsemen, who are here in large num-
bers, are strong in favor of the Cali
fornia lad. One bet was made OF
$500 against 5000 that Azevedo would
score a knockdown at some period Of
the battle before the end of ten rounds.
Numerous small bets were made at this
ratio by the Western and California
turfmen.
