BARB SOCCER MEN
DEFEAT ALAMEDAS
Encinal Players Not Easy for the s
Clubmen; Other Games in
Scottish Code
BOB SHAND
The Barbarian soccer team gathered )
in a 3 to 1 victory over the Alamedans
at Freeman's park yesterday; but the
lads from the Encinal city gave a sur- j
pris?ingly good exhibition of the soccer j
code, considering the inexperience of
the players, and bid fair to win a lot
of games in the league competition. The
Alameda team played with 10 men
throughout, one of the regulars fail
ing to appear. The Barbarians started
with the full quota of 11, but lost Jack
McKenzie early in the first half, the big
Scotchman being sent to the clubhouse
following an argument with Referee
Chown.
The Alamedas sprung a surprise by
breaking into the tally column five min
utes after the kickoff. Hearn received
the ball in a good position- and placed
it where it did the most good. Ten
minutes later Archie Scott tied up the
score after getting a nice pass from
Hudson, and the latter player put the
Barbs In the lead shortly before the
interval with a nice shot from the wing,
following an Individual run.
The Alamedas showed a lot of speed
in the second half, and but for the
sterling work of Dyke, the Barbs' right
back, would have scored. Dyke played
a sterling game and looks about the
best man in his position in the league.
The Barbs added their last goal about
the middle of the half. Best scoring
with a clever overhead kick. The
teams:
Barbs —Mcßltchie, Dyke, McCaskie,
Hinds, Tirnmins, Lees, Hudson, Best,
McKenzie, Gloor and ScotL
Alamedas —Gough. Plumtree, Smith,
Boatock, Barrel las, Steadman, Appleby,
Haagcr. Hearn and Curtln.
The Thistles were handed a surprise
package at Lincoln park when the Ala
meda Rangers held the Scots, to a score
less tie. The work of the baby team
of the league was a revelation and they
will not prove the easy marks the
older teams anticipated. The young
Alamedans proved nervous at the start,
but in the second half they were right
on top of their opponents and fairly
earned a draw.
The Burns scored a lucky victory
over the San Franciscos at the Ocean
Shore grounds. The Highlanders were
on the defensive most of the time, but
on two occasions when they broke
away they registered. Robertson
tallied in the first period and Ewen
added the other goal shortly before the
final whistle.
The game between the Pastimes and
Vampires at the St. Ignatius ground?
was a farce, the Pastimes winning b>
a score of 12 to 1. The Vamps started
the game wlUi only 10 Inen, and in the
middle of the first half Vernon Showell.
manager of the club, donned a uniform
and jumped into the fray. Showell
landed for the only goal earned by his
club, ♦he Pastimes scored at will.
At the Dow street grounds, Alameda,
the Corinthians defeated the Argonauts
4 to 0 in a game under the auspices of
the Bay Counties Soccer league.
Aeolian Yacht Club Has

ALAMEDA. Oct. 13.—The Aeolian

winner. Harry Shed was awarded first
prize and Ben Jost second. George
Postel was the third choice of the
judges.
Tbe duck chase was captured by
Harry Emmal. In the single oar raca
for women the winner was Mrs. Larry
Knight, who took first and second prize.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CAII* MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1912,
Thousands See Athletic Contests on
Golden Gate Park Stadium
WILLIAM UNMACK
Under the auspices of the "committee
of fifty" the B'nai B'rith lodges of San
Francisco yesterday held the annual
exercises and track and field compe
titions at the stadium in Golden Gate
park. The sloping banks round the
stadium track wore crowded with thou
sands of spectators, and the exercises
and track events were carried through
to a successful issue.
Brother Jacob Nieto, prosident of the
district grand lodge No. 4, made the
opening remarks of the day appro
priate to the occasion. The opening
prayer was given by Brother B. M. Kap
lan, and addresses were made by
Brother Julius Kahn and Lucius L. Sol
omons, first %-ice president of the con
stitution grand lodge. The closing
prayer was given by Brother Martin A.
Meyer.
At the conclusion of the exercises the
long list of track and field athletics was
started and the big crowd followed the
events with keen interest. There were
two meets, the first one being for the
junior boys, while the second one was
for senior athletes. The juniors of the
Jewish Sabbath Schools Athletic league
and the juniors of the B'nai B'rith
gymnasium met in the first, the Sab
bath school boys outclassing the B'nai
B'rith team and winning by a score of
114 points to 84,
SABBATH SCHOOL LEADS
In every event the Sabbath school
boys showed to advantage, Ralph Allen
being the hero of the meet. He scored
a total of 22 points, while the next best
score was made by Frank Fest of the
B'nai B'rith team, with 16 points. This
lad was run a close race by Harry Of
fenbach, who tallied 14 points.
Included In the Sabbath School Ath
letic league team were many members
of the Pacific Hebrew orphan asylum
team, and these lads acquitted them
selves admirably. The little fellows
from the orphanage were" in many in
stances in classes far heavier than they
should have been. A notable example
of this was little Schlocker in the 60
yard dash of the 80 pound division. The
diminutive Schlocker does not weigh
much more than 60 pounds, yet he com
peted against lads 20 pounds heavier,
and at that, managed to place third in
this event —a fine performance for the
little fellow.
B, B. SENIORS STRONGER
In the senior mete the competing
the teams were from the B'nai B'rith
gymnasium and the Young Men's
Hebrew "association. In this meet the j
B'nai B'rith nten somewhat made up
for the lack of class shown by their ;
junior team mates and swept the
Y. M. H. A. before It, winning the meet
by 53 points to 19-
Henry Wise of the B'nai B'rith team
showed himself to be a fine all around j
athlete. Besides winning his heat in
the 100 yard dash he was placed second
in the final. He was placed third In
the 50 yard daah. won the 220 yard
dash, and the high jump and broad
jump as well, scoring a total of 19
points—the highest individual score
in the senior meet. Harry Lapkin, also
of the B'nai B'rith team, showed up
well and scored 13 points.
The 50 yard dash and the one mile
run were about the best races on the
program, the latter causing consider
able excitement when Behrend caught
Diamond, whe had previously held a
lead of more than 50 yards. Diamond,
however, was equal to the occasion and
sprinted away to the tape, winning by
about 20 yards. ,
In the sprint race all the men got
away to a start that beat the gun.
Lapkin. Cohn and Wise showed con
aiderable speed and pulled awsfy from
the rest of the field when less than 25
yards had been traversed. Coming
down for the tape the same three men
fought out every inch of ground, the
judges catching Lapkin over the line
first with Conn, a few Inches away,
second, and Wise, a foot or more in the
rear, for third place.
In the mile run Diamond of the
Y. M. H. A. jumped right into the lead.
He set a steady pace and on the start
of the second lap had a lead of 50
yards over Dastelle. The latter was
more than 20 yards ahead of the rest
of the field and kept |hls position until
the start of the last lap. Here Behrend
passed , jastellc and went after Dia
mond, and on reaching the back turn
in the back stretch oaug*ht and passed
him. Diamond, however, was fresh and
set out at a sprinting pace, eventually
winning by more than 20 yards from
Behrend.

St, Mary's Grooming for
Game With Nevada
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
OAKLAND, Oct. 13.—Not content with
their 46-0 victory tjver the Mount Tara
alpais academy team yesterday after
noon, the St. Mary's college squad was
called out for practice again this morn
ing by Coach Rlttler in preparation for
their contest with the University of
Nevada next Saturday at Reno. Team
work was again in evidence in the con
test against the academy team, the back
field men scoring the majority of the
tries in the second half.
Several changes were made in the
lineup, which proved the wisdom of the
coach's choice. Magee replaced Saver
at half, after the latter was disabled,
and hi* work was of star order. His
showing may result in shifting Saver
to five-eighths or center three-quarter.
Riordan at center three-quarters and
Roth on the wing pulled off some clever
passing rushes, and between them
scored six of the twelve tries.
A practice game will be played this
week as a final preparation, and sev
eral of the doubtful places on the lineup
will be decided in this game.

Bushers Give the Lie to
The Calendar; October Is
Half Gone; Still They Play
Weekly Alfalfa Crop Just as Voluminous as It
Was in Midsummer or When the
Season Opened
Here it is almost the middle of October, with no sign of a letup in the
activities of the bushers. It even seems as though the battle waging on the
other rim of the continent were acting as a stimulus among California s
semipro tossers. At any rate, they played the great national game yesterday
as though the season were barely open—played with an appetite and a relish
that gave the lie to the calendar. But why not? Was not California's incom-
parable climate brought into being for j
the express purpose of building up a j
sturdy race of men? And is not base- j
ball one of the means made possible J
by the long season of sunshine?
"What would the sports page of a |
