Brandt Is High Man in San Francisco Schuetzen Verein. One of the largest and busiest crowds of marksmen out in months occupied the range yesterday at Shell Mound. Many of the assoclations appeared for their first medal shoot of the year and the mem- bers wished to start well by placing a good score to their credit. The gray light that prevailed and the absence of strong wind gave the marksmen a chance to make good scores, and all seemed bent on taking advantage of the favorable con- ditions. The bullseye shoot of Schuetzen Club resulted score: self by placing a bullet within .167 of an inch from a dead center. He was closely Germania some fine the in ;fDl]uwed by David Salfield, who came | within .247 from the center.

V As was expected, the Vampire Assoc | tion football eleven defeated the Albion | Lodge team vesterday afternoon on th | ground at Twelfth and Madison streets Oakland. The Vampires secured 6 goals | ana Albion Lodge 1. The play was not | so uneven as may appear from the score. The Albion team Includes plenty of good material, but nearly all the men are new to the game and lack that combination work in which the Vampires surpass all the elevens. In the first half of the match yesterday the Vampires secured four goals, of which three were kicked by Showell and one by Buckley. In the second half the Vampires added two more goals to their score, one of which was put between the posts by a member of. the opposing team. The players and their positions were as follows: Albfon.

The victory was due to the goodeombination work of the San Francisco eleven and to the weak team play of the Independents forwards. The backs of the Independent team were outmatched by the San Fran- cisco forwards. Antrobus, the San Fran- clsco ‘captain, played the neatest and cleanest game he has played this season. The half-backs—Miller, Murphy and T. Smith—rendered good service. Pollock dis- played the cleverest work among the for- wards, co-operating well with his partner. For the losers Owens and Smith did effec- tive work on the right wing, and Affleck saved several goals. The line-up of the teams was as follows: Independent. Positions. San Francisco.
