LIVE BASEBALL SEASON. President B. F. Bert of the Pacific States League Makes Some
 Promises.

President Eugene F. Bert of the new Pacific States League denies that the Mission street journal is interested in the latest baseball venture. In speaking about the matter Yesterday Mr. Bert said
 Nothing could induce MT. Lawrence to support another baseball tournament af- ter the experience he went through last season. The constant squabbles and dis putes which occurred during the ending of the tournament sickened him of any further interest. The Examiner will be as much interested in this seasons games be, and that they will do all possible to arouse an interest in the popular national pastime.
 We have completed arrangements to tournament. Sacramento will have it's crack team; the Gilt Edges, to uphold it, while. Stockton will be represented by a clever aggregation. Santa Cruz will have the same team that made such an excellent showing during last season, and it Is understood that Unhappy Joe Mo Gucken will get together team com posed of graduates from the Santa Clara College.
 ''The left field fence will be moved fur ther back, and live ball will be used in each game. Central Park will receive a thorough cleaning, and the new league promises the cranks a season of baseball similar to that seen in the halcyOn days.
 Jack Bennett, the present license col lector and popular athlete, has been elected treasurer of the league. He will lay aside 2 per cent of the proceeds of each game. and the three teams win ming the greatest number of games will receive 50. 30 and 25 per cent of the will be offered as trophy by Governor Budd. to become the property of the team winning the greatest number of games.

 The Judge, in dismissing the case. told young Smith that if he did not look out he was liable to find himself a subject for the Coroner.

J. L. Rudd Becomes Involved in an Argument and Gets the
 Worst of It.

J. L. Rudd, returned Klondiker, be- came involved in an argument with the proprietor of the Royal House at l26 Ellis street Friday night and was thrown downstairs, breaking his leg in two places. Rudd was removed to the Re ceiving Hospital, where he stated that the trouble arose over the proprietor being angry at his not standing in with him.
 He said: T took some people around town to buy provisions for the Klon- dike, and did not go to the places the proprietor suggested. Had l done so he would undoubtedly have recelVed a commission. Having been disappoint- ed he called me to his office in the even ing and told me to leave the house: I refused to do so, and told him nad paid my rent. He offered to return the money, but I objected to his mode of treatment. and he became 1ncensed and threw me downstairs. l snail nave him arrested for doing so, ana l VIII also sue him.

 Upon the advice of Rubinstein, Miss Bear removed from Dresden to Berlin in order to place herself with the renowned Jedlicizka, pupil of the Rubinsteins and Tschaikowsky under whose instruction she applied herself so diligently that Jedlicizka in a written testimonial to her ability and zeal recommends her in the highest terms as a pianist and conscien- tious pedagogue Among the friends made by Miss Bear abroad are Louis Diemar of Paris Therese Carreno, Ed ward Risler, Joseph Siwinsld, Marie Panthes and Fitz Spindler.

Secretary of the Marine Firemen's Union the
 Target.
J. Sullivan, Rejected Member, Tries to Put Two Bullets
 Into Him.
The Assailant Arrested and Booked on the Charge of Assault
 to Murder.

Bernard Ward, secretary of the Ma rine Firemen's Union. had a narrow es- cape of being a subject for the Coroner yesterday afternoon, two shots having been fired at him at close range, both of which fortunately missed him.
 Ward bought a parrot Friday from fireman on the steamer Newport that arrived from Panama. It was stipu- lated that if he was not satisfied with it he was to go to the saloon of Marco Mertivich, POT Grammar street, and make a selection from five others that would be left there. Ward went to the saloon about o'clock yesterday after noon and asked about the parrots. There were several men standing at the bar, one of them being J. Sullivan, marine fireman.
 Sullivan went up to Ward and ac- cused him of preventing him from be- coming a member of the union. He was abusive and Ward told him not to bother him as he had business with the proprietor of the saloon. Sullivan left him, but returned almost immedi- ately with bottle in his hand He again began to abuse Ward and the latter pushed him away and took the bottle from him.
 Ward and Mertivich then left the saloon and went upstairs to the lodg- ing-house to have look at the par rots. Sullivan lived in the lodging house, and just as Ward bent down to examine the parrots, which were in a barrel, Sullivan came out of his room with a revolver in his hand, and walk ing up to Ward said: Now I have got you just where I want you," and fired a shot at him. The bullet whizzed past Wards head and went through a window. Ward quietly picked out a parrot and was walking away when Sullivan fired another sffot at him, the bullet again missing him and burying itself in the wall.
 When Ward got outside he met Po- liceman P. Sullivan and notified him of the shooting. Sullivan went to the lodging-hou and placed his name sake under arrest. He took him to the City Prison, where a charge of assault to commit murder was booked against him.
 Ward says he has a faint recollection of Sullivan wanting to join the union, but as he could not put up the neces- sary admission fee, offering security instead, Ward told him his application could not be entertained.
