NOT 11 PLAYERS LEFT.
H. S. VS PEACOCK
Both Tteams Working Aa rd for the
Game that Will Decide Champion-
ship of Initrscbolsstic League.
After a hard uphill fight all sea-
son the team of ihe San Antonio
academy has now disbanded. Start-
ing practice late because of the lack
of a coach and having but a small
squad to select from this team of
gritty boys led by Captain Jesse New-
ton has fought bravely and creditably
their hard season against heavy odds.
With the lightest team In the league
and with but a very small reserve
to draw from the Blue and White
I eleven has been a credit to Its school
| in spite of reverses.
This disbandment has even now
come only because the squad has not
1 eleven men to fill the positions on
the team. One by one the best players
had been forced to leave the game
for one cause or other until the en-
tire squad did not number eleven
men.
They failed to win the pennant
but they did win a place in the es-
teem of all local football enthusiasts
by their never falling grit against
heavy odds; and though they have
no visible trophies to show for their
worK. they have conclusively demon-
strated that they possess that quality
that gets there in the end.
High school and Peacock are both
working for the game that will be
the climax of the league season. Ev-
ery afternoon the squads trot out on
the field and work to keep them-
selves In trim for the big contest. I
Whether the game will be played
this Saturday or next is still an open
question. The Peacock management
desires the more distant date because
they are developing both a quarter
and a right half and thia takes time.
On the other hand the High school
now in perfect trim desires to gather
the loose threads of the season into
one and try conclusions as soon as
possible in the deciding mill. What
the outcome of this difference of onln-
lon will be Is hard to decide but a .
satisfactory conclusion will have to
be reached at once in order to ger
in suitable advertising.
An effort Is being made by West
Texas to get a game with the winners
of the league series. This powerful
team Is anflous to try conclusions
with the leader of the league team and
should such a game be played it would
take place on Saturday December 22.
The lateness of that date which la
the only one now possible may inter-
fere with this game however and
it as though it Is not likely tn
come) off. it has been proposed to
gather from all the league elevens a
team composed of players who do
not object to playing that late in the
season but there is small chance of
such n game.
The Fort Sam Houston team is also
game to play any eleven that desires
to step on the other end of the grid-
iron. They have not had much prac-
tice of late but the'- can get Into
shape with a few days’ notice.
Punting the Pigskin.
Whenever the deciding game t*
played there will be interest then as
never before during the entire sea
son.

FRED M'LEOO CHICAGO EXPERT
AT SAN ANTONIO GOLF AND
COUNTRY CLUB.
MIDWINTER PLAY
Me McLeod Says Climate of San An-
tonio is Ideal for ths Sport at
This Tims.
Fred McLeod the Chicago golf ex-
pert is in this city for the winter.
Mr McLeod will coach the members
of the san Antonio Golf and Country
club this season. Speaking of the golf
outlook. Mr. McLeod today said:
"While the season is now very
quiet the prospects are good for a
tine season this coming spring. All
over the country the game seems to be
growing especially in the west. Tom
Bendelow wbo lays out the golf cours-
es all over the country for Spaulding
Bros. has this year laid out 20 golf
courses. This shows that the gstn e is
on the steady increase.
"The jgame is very quiet now but
there h every prospect for a record
season Ahen it opens up."
Mr. McLeod while an amateur
won the Hope challenge medal In
Scotland in 1901. He took this trophy 1
from the best amateurs in Scotland.
Last year he was fifth in the west-
ern open championship at Cincinnati.
Ohio; second at the Homewood tour-
nament. W. P. G. A.; first at the
Riverside 111. tournament where he 1
won the gold medal for St. Paul.
Minn. in the same year. He then
went to Boston and got the nineteenth .
In a contest of 85 of the best in Amer- I
ica. He then won the championship •
of Western professional Golfers’ asso- I
elation at the Chicago Golt club In i
November 1905.
This year Mr. McLeod tied for third |
with Anderson in the western open I
championship at Homewood. 111. He i
was runner up last October In the •
second championship meet of the
Western Professional Golfers’ asso-
ciation. AH this was match play
something new in professional golf.
Last spring Mr. McLeod spent two
months In San Antonio. He won
third in the tournament held here at
that lime. Mr. McLeod thinks that
San Antonio is hard to beat for cli-
mate and for many other things. He
thinks that this etty Is one admirably
adapted to mid-winter golf and that
It would be a fine place for meets at
that time of year.

OPIUM SMUGGLING.
Special to The Light.
Capetown. Dec. 8. —Henry Cum-
mings an Englishman is being tried
today on charges of smuggling large
quantities of opium into the mining
districts of the Rand. Recently the
Portugese government was informed
that the demand for opium among the
Chinese coolies of the Rand led to ex-
tensive smuggling of opium between
Lorenco Marques and Johanesburg.
They started Inquiries and the result
of their Investigations showed that
enormous quantities of the drug were
passing through the government s
ports to the Rand. Cummings was ar-
rested on the charge of a Chinese
smuggler at Larenzo Marques with
whom he broke faith.
The Meat-Cutters' organization held
a meeting last night and made ar-
rangements to hold a grand masque-
rade ball at the Mission Garden on

ST. JOSEPH’S
I BOWLERS MEET
CELEBRATION HELD LAST NIGHT
OF CLOSE OF LEAGUE—NEW
ONE FORMING.
ON OTHER ALLEYS
—
Turners to Give Mexican Supper To- I
night—Saps Meet K Club In
the City League.
Last night that in St. Joseph's hall 1
was one of the most congenial ana ;
joyous crowds ever brought together.
I The occasion was the celebration of
I 'he successful finish of the St. Joseph
I Bowling League season and the vic- i
' tory of J. Jehls Mustangs. There were I
fifty present out of the sixty members I
ot the league.
The program consisted of a practice
1 game which was continued until about ;
10 o'clock after which lunch and '
liquid refreshments were served on a
long table in the bail alongside of the i
alleys.
When all had been seated at the ;
table President Joe Courand made a I
I few remarks regarding the success :
; of the league and the social features !
i attached to it. At the conclusion of ■
his remarks one of the members pro- 1
posed three times ’’Hoch" in honor
of President Joe Courand which was .
given with a will. There were present j
quite a number of singers of the Lie- .
। derkranz. W. V. Dfelman took the i
i director's place and led the different i
songs that the boys sang. At the con ।
I elusion it was proposed that Mr. Will
I Dlelman lead the double quartette In |
I rendering a winging toast to the presl- ;
i dent which was done. Afterward !
■a me singing toasts for Captain J. '
I Jehl. as the victorious captain and .
' then for his team the Mustangs as |
I the champions. Words of praise were '
spoken and sung In appreciation of '
I service rendered to the league through |
the untiring efforts of Chas. W. Meyer !
the secretary and treasurer.
Next Mr. W. V. Dlelmann had hfs
Songsters render several very catchy
and musical numbers. All the pro-
i reedings and singing were in German.
After the business of the old league
‘ had been finally discussed President
Courand announced that be was ready
to hear from those present their views
on opening a new league right away.
Almost all spoke for the organization
of a new league as soon as possible
nnd that Mr. Joe Courand and Chas.
Meyer be re-elected to their former
positions of president and secretary.
IThis was unanimouslv carried.
Then two new captains were asked
for by Chas. Meyer. His reason for
wanting two new captains was that
from inquiries already made the list
woul 1 contain enough names to make
nn eight-club league. The six captains
of the old league had been asked to
continue in the sbme capacity in the
new league.
On passing the litfi for signatures
all signed making a list of 40 new
members for some had left during the
progress of the lunch as it was grow-
ing late.
As the meeting was drawing to a
close Chas Meyer proposed that three
cteers and singing toast be given by
all present in honor of Mr. S Deuer-
ling for his kindness to the league in
treating it to a keg of liquid refresh-
ments.
Just as the crowd was dispersing
W. V. Dlelmann had a happy thought.
He mounted a chair and called atten-
tion to the fact that the press as yet
had not been given a word of appre-
ciation and as Mr. Aolph Dugosh was
present It was only right that all
present should join him in jiving
three cheen and singing a toast song
This was <’one with a will

WORLD'S HIGHEST BRIDGE.
Special to The Light.
Denver Col. Dec. The bridge
across the Rolay gorge which will
be completed in few days Is the high-
est in the world. Though only 230
feet long it will be 2627 feet high or
half a mile from the water of the
gorge to the lower parts of the bridge.
The nearest approach to this struc-
ture in height Is the Zambesi bridge
on the Cane to Cairo railway in Af-
rica. which is only 45b feet in height.
The material used In Colorado's en-
