TBERG PITCHES NINE INNINGS
OF GOOD BALL.
San Francisco 6, Oakland o.

The suburban Dudes tore up the Recre-
alton Park diamond yesterday in vain
endeavor to score. Six times the gong
sounded for the local team: the Dudes
returned home without the memory of a
ring.
Good ball marked the entire game yes
terday There We're few errors on either
side and close, fast work was in order
from beginning to end. Iberg pitched eX-
cellent ball. only five scattered hits being
secured off his delivery. Moskiman was
not so good. Nine hits were registered
against him, and they were productive,
with the assistance of an occasional er-
ror, of a half-dozen runs. But for an ex-
ceptional error the local sttck-wielders
fielding work would have been perfect.
Fine base-throwing and quick, snappy
play satisfied the enthusiasts in the
bleachers, and the local following cxer-
cised lungs and throats on every ocCa-
sion.
Neither side was able to score in the
first three innings. In the beginning of
the fourth a Moskiman shell found a tar
get in the small of Muller'S back, which
sent the latter capering nimbly to the
initial bag. Krug, the smasher, raped
out q double and Muller coursed the bags
for the first run of the day krug made
third by a jugglery of his long fly. When
Sullivan drove a long, high sky-stabber
to left field, which was the death OF him,
hrug beat the ball in from third, thereby
adding another line in the score column.
In the fifth Fitzpatrick went to first
a-walking, found second on passed ball

through China and Russia aaa to s St ao Peters
Two thousand five hundred miles of this
was through Mongolia, and the Chinese
officials planned my journey. They pro-
vided sixty horses, and at each changing
point they had sixty horses, making in all
5000 for my personal use. At the end of
each portion of the route elaborate prep
arations were made for my entertain
ment. The roads of Mongolia are excel
lent, and we made remarkably, quick time
to the Russian frontier. My hardest ex
perience was in crossing the River Obi, one
of the greatest rivers of Siberia. The
thermometer marked 90 degrees below
zero. and the river was full of floating ice.

Speaker Reed has known the members Of
the firm for many years and has had FREE
quant business dealings with them. Though
he had received offers to go to the head OF
several perhaps better kncwn firms, he
early expressed his preference for the one
with which he is to be associated.
The Speaker Is said to have been as
sured of an income of at least $50, 900 a
year, an emolument equal to that of the
President of the United States. from insur-
ance companies alone. He will continue
to act as referee for the several insurance
corporations for.which he has been recently
acting, and friends say that his income
may yet amount to 800, 900 annually.
Mr.. Reeds motives for getting out OF
Congress and entering the bar in this city
are variously regarded by lawyers and poll
i%ticians. The consensus of opinion, how
ever, is that he is merely taking the step
for financial reasons. He Is a comparative
ly poor man and now that not many years
OF activity remain it is time they say, that
he consider such matters.
With his great personal reputation and
influence he will become at once a power
In the New York bar. 1t is not thought
that he will take any part at all in local
politics. His step was taken only after
long elaboration. He has been consider
ing the step for two years at least.
Mr.. Reed is a native of the State he has
represented in Congress, having been born
In Portland, Me-. on October Is, 1889, so that
he is in his sixtieth year. He was gradu-
ated at Bowdoin College In 1860, and studied
law, but was appointed Acting Assistant
Paymaster in the Navy In April, 1861, and
served until his honorable discharge in No
vember. 1865, when he was admitted to the
bar and began to practice law in Portland.
He became = member of the lower branch
OF the Maine Legislature, then a membe
of the State Senate, and later Attorney
General for the State. In 1876 he was elect
ed to Congress, and has represented the
State of Maine continuously in the House
since then. On December 2, 1899, and on
December Q, 1895, he was elected to he
Speakership, and his discharge of the
duties OF that office have made him a figure
of National prominence.

Saloons Not a Social Necessity:

The argument that liquor saloons are a
social necessity" to the poor man, or, in
deed, to any one, Is too specious to hold
water. At any rate, in this country there
is but little Of the "poor mans club" per-
tanning to them. At its best the liuuor sa-
loon is but a sorry makeshift when recrea-
ton Is the object, and the instruction a
workingman is likely to gain init is scarce
ly calculated to elevate or improve his
mind. So long as he has money n will
spend 1t with ~alacritY his company Is well
come, but when his pockets are empty his
society is no longer regarded with favor by
the proprietor! The saloon keeper Is not a
man Of sentiment, but invariably keeps his
eye on the main chance. This being so, the
question must be faced as it really is and
not judged from an optimistic and magma.
tive point of view. The truth is that the
liquor saloon in America Is not a "poor
mans club a place in which he can give
his ''recreative instincts" fair play, but
simply and solely a house for the sale of
strong drinks at a large profit to the pro-
prietor.
1.-THE liquor saloon does'satisfy the work
ingman's "recreative instinct" all we can
say is that II he does not possess the bibu-
lous instinct we are sorry for the intelli-
gence Of the workingman. The great ma
jority of medical men nowadays are quite
agreed that alcohol does no good to a
healthy man, and, taking into consideration
the incalculable amount of harm that has
been wrought by its agency, 1t is best that
the matter should be judged on its merits,
and that the ignorant and careless should
be warned OF their danger. 1t is right and
Just that the w~orkingman should be af-
forded the opportunities of mixing in con-
genial society which the rich man enjoys,
but he must not look for in the liquor sa-
loon.
From n consideration OF the social side OF
the saloon question to that of the abuse OF
drink is but a step. Where, then, is the
remedy to be sought In order to abolish or
eounteract an evil which is acknowledged
on all sides to be widespread and extreme
ly pernicious? The view that habitual
drunkenness is q disease and should be
treated as such is the one most generally
held In these days. DR.. Norman Kerr, the
best known British authority on the mat
ter, says: "Deal with the inebriate as you
have successfully dealt with the maniac.
Frown not on him as a hardened criminal.
Remember he has fallen by the power Of a
physical agency which has crushed to earth
some of the noblest and most gifted. Treat
him as a patient laborlng under a battling
and inveterate disease and amid many dis
couragements. Such a measure of success
will follow your true curative treatment as
will gladden. your hearts as men, while it
will attest your skill as physicians"

BOYS,

Now, II any one has an ea"y time
In this world Of push and pull,
1t is not the boy OF the family,
For his hands are always full.
Id like to ask, who fills the stove?
Where is the girl that could?
Who brings in water, who lights the fire,
And splits the kindling wood?
And who is it that cleans the walks
After hour Of showing?
In summer, who keeps down the weeds
BY diligently hoeing?
And who must harness the faithful horse
When the girls would ride about?
And who must clean the carriage off?
The boy, youll own, no doubt.
And who does the many other things
Too numerous TO mention?
The boy is the general utility man.
And really deserves "a pension
Friends just praise the boy sometimes,
When he does his very best;
And don't always want the easy chair
When he's taking a little rest.
Don't let him always be the last
To see tie new magazine;
And sometimes let the boy be heard,
As well as to be seen.
That boys are far from perfect
Is understood by all;
But they have hearts. remember.
For men are boys grown tall
And when the boy has been working
His level best for days,
1t does MIN good. | tell you.
To have some hearty prajsei
He is not merely a combination
OF muddy boots and noise.
And he likes to be looked upon
AS one Of the family lows.
