4 CINCH IN
 BALL PARKS Central and Recreation
 Controlled. NEW PARK TO BE BUILT A WEALTHY PRoPERTY-oWNER
 INTERESTED. Trouble Still Continues to Be a Feature of All League Meetings, Notwithstanding Other
 Reports.
A WEALTHY PRoPERTY-OWNE
 INTERESTED.
BY JOE cORBETT.

Despite the fact that appearances would indicate the relations existing be- tween the proprietors of Recreation Park and the managers of the various teams as being of a very pleasant nature, dis sension and dissatisfaction have sprung up between them very recently which bid fair to terminate in the formation of new and independent league.
 The trouble originated at meeting of the league representatives, held some few weeks ago, and since that time has gained such gigantic proportions that an open rebellion of the managers against President Bert, MT. McNeil, who controls Central Park and the Sixteenth and Fol som street grounds, and MT. Rauer, who controls Recreation Park may be expect ed at any moment. It appears that an agreement had been made when the two leagues consolidated to the effect that should Recreation Park, after a fair trial, prove to be frost, the games were to be transferred to Central Park. It was decided among the managers that a change was expedient, and so at a meet ing of the board it was proposed that Central Park be given a chance.
 that MT. McNeil had no time for base pail, which when translated means that the proprietors of the only desirable base ball parks in the city had combined and
 
 Park or not play at all.
 Such is the difficulty confronting the poor, trapped managers. yet they are not idle. Among them are a few who propose seeing this thing to the bitter end, and if necessary will withdraw from the league.
 l learned at a meeting of the league of hcials last night that a new and beauti- full ball park Is to be constructed. front ing on one of the principal street car lines. The gentleman who owns the prop erty has signifed his willingness to ex- pend hundreds of dollars in making the grounds the best in America, and if an agreement is not reached very soon be- tween the league magnates baseball will again pass into oblivion, only however until the new grounds are completed.
 It certainly is to be regretted that after so much wrangling before the consolida- ton new trouble maker should step in, just when things were about on substan- tial footing. The combining of forces will, I am afraid, prove a death blow to baseball on the coast. People are sick and tired of all this wranging, and it would be well for that "combine" to heed the cry.
 Then again 1t would be we'll for them to realize the danger of great opposition, for a new and grand park is soon going up, where players and managers will have an equal chance and the avaricious none.

AGAINST CHINESE LABOR.
Efforts 10 Have Soldiers Uniforms
 Made by Free White People.

Shortly after 1t became known that Chinese were employed in the making of uniforms for the soldiers who have been called to the front. Labor Commissioner B. l.. Fitzgerald at the request of the working men and women of this city sent letters to several of the Pacific Coast representatives at Washington asking them to do all in their power to induce the War Department to give the work to white people. Yesterday he received the following answers:
 Dear Sir: Judge Mcguire has just sent me your note of the 18th ult. regarding the en- ployment of Chinese labor, etc, in the manu- lecture of clothing for our troops I fully agree with you, although if are to annex the Philippines. etc, 1t is hardly necessary to make any serious kick for might well get ready for the future. However holding the views that do upon all these subjects, I have been able to vigorously protest against the en- ployment of such labor. There be but one justification for it, viz.: the necessity of pre- pairing the troops for the field. and think you have shown that there Is nothing in that claim, and your plain way of putting it ought to help our people materially. Yours very truly, STEPHEN M. WHITE.

Theodore Park Haynes, the aged slayer of Police Lieutenant Burke, was sen- tenced to imprisonment for life at Fol- som by Judge Wallace yesterday J. N. k. Wilson, who represented the convict, made a motion for new trial on statu- tory grounds. The court denied the mo- tfon, and then Judge Wallace, turning to the prisoner, asked him if he had any tence. Haynes arose and with tremulous voice denounced his counsel, whom he charged with having neglected his case.
 They did not summon the witnesses wanted, he said. "All they did was to obtain money by false pretenses.' The argument had little effect on the court, as some. such outbreak had been expected
