VERY WORST GAME
EVER PLAYED HERE
Boston So Rotten Managers
Called Halt on Farce in
Seventh Inning.
ALTlzER LOST THE FIRST
His Inability to Cover Ground Allowed
Visitors to Get Away With
Undeserved Victory.

There have been many freak games
Of baseball, and many in which the
score was more disproportionate than
that which Washington won from Bos-
ton yesterday. but IT probably holds
the record as the only one in a major
league in recent years which was so
very rotten that the manager Of the los
ing team volunteered to have the pro-
ceedings stopped at the end Of the
seventh rourd and thus practically
coneede it TO his opponent.
Yet this is exactly what Chick Stahl
did in the sixth inning. In that round
the score stood Il TO I, and Chick

Aitizer Lost Game.
Washington lost the first game by 4

Young at the psychological moment. Fnd
because Altizer couldn't cover more tran
about ten square feet Of ground at
short. II a ball went a few inches 10

another hit that should have been an
out was recorded.
Now for the record breaker. In il Bos-
ton showed the form OF twenty-time
loser and the mystery OF its slide TO the
bottom was exposed. The entire team
played like sandlotters. But no! This
Is too much of a reflection on the sand
lotters and We take II an back II did
not display single symptom Of base
ball. and the only value OF the game
was To fatLeu the Washington team and
individual avera ges. Finally. that be-
came tlresOme and the curtain was rung
down on the farce out OF pity for the
swelteriug athletes and spectators.

II was very kind Of the managers to
allow the game TO go long enough to
give Lave Cross his triple in the sixth.

MISCARRIAGE OF PLOT

To hold the men of organized labor
from adding even temporary strength
to the Independence League and it's
candidates has become the first purpose
of the governing committee of the
Union Labor party and today procla-
nation will be sent out from the head
quarters on Golden Gate avenue, near
Fillmore street. warning union men
against signing the petition of any
party desiring a place on the ballot
other than the petition of the Union
Labor organization. This is a direct
blow at the Doodle Dees, who are cir
culating petitions to have the name of
Langdon and his colleagues in the
scramble for office placed on the ballot
or voting machine
A. o. Tveitmoe, chairman of the gov
erning committee of the Union Labor
party. has another plan which he will
launch today. A request is to be sent
to Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, that he
come to California and assist in the
campaign for Bell against James N.
Gillett.
The labor leaders fear development
of the Langdon schism and are fighting
that most particularly. The movement
threatened to get away from the Com
pers party in Alameda, when a mid
night resolution almost committed the
union men OF that county to the Doodle
Dee fetish. It is said by Tveitmoe that
the Independence League is in one OF
its phases a form of conspiracy to
draw votes from the Union Labor party
ticket.
1t is the intention of the Union Labor
party to put full ticket in the field
from Governor to Justice of the Peace
and a vigorous campaign is to be con-

Later developments. as the result of
an investigation made by Rauch, dis
closed the knowledge that Taylor and
Campbell had borrowed money exten-

Frank Walker Refuses to
Pay Extra Nickel for Oys-
ters and Goes to Hospital

hAfter arguing over the price of a
meal last night in front of a Greek
restaurant at Third and Bryant streets,
Frank Walker. a teamster, was shot
in the head by one of the proprietors
of the place. d. Saris and n. Hedge
were arrested shortly after the shoot
ing by Patrolmen Kruger and Dunn
Another man connected with the estab-
lishment is still at large.
According to Walker, he entered the
restaurant and after consuming a
plate of oysters and a glass of milk
walked out of the place. He says that
Helge followed him out and demanded
cents more. Walker refused to pay
this, whereupon. he alleges, the three
men attacked him, and, after throwing
him to the ground. began to kick him.
Walker, who is something of q hight
err managed to free himself AS soon as
he regained his feet one of his assail-
ants rushed into the restaurant, re-
turned with a revolver and shot at
him. The bullet entered behind Walk
ers right ear. 1t was not located by

at the Central Emergency Hospital. The

CAP TURE FUGITIVE
Al THE SAVOY.

James A. Taylor. a Chicago promoter,
was arrested at the Hotel Savoy yes
terday by Detectives Bert Wren and
Tim Riordan on a telegram from P. d.
O'Brien, captain of the Chicago detect
i've bureau, who asserts that Taylor is
wanted on a charge of embezzIement.
Taylor left Chicago on September 16,
in company with David Arenberg, who
was associated with him in the enter
prise out of which the complaint comes.
The police have been on the alert for
Taylor for several days. a close watch
has been kept on all the hotels, but it
was not until late last night that he ar
rived When the detectives demanded
his surrender he was not surprised, but
willingly accompanied them to police
headquarters, where he readily ad-
mitted his identity during an interview
with Acting Captain of Detectives Ed.
Wren. He denied. however, that he mad
been guilty of criminal offense.
AS the manager of the Taylor Ranch
Company, Incorporated, Taylor is
charged with running away with S2050
of the company's money. The company
was one of the short-lived concerns
that are organized in all big cities
where there is a chance to secure an
investment of idle capital The names
of Taylor's partners ale not given in
the brief telegram, but 1t is un,lcrstoo
that they have been anxious to get
their hands on the fugitive.
The telegram describes Taylor as an

Somebody has. referred to the San
Francisco relief work as soup kitchen
relief under automobile administration.
The officials and employees of the sew
eral relief administrations have exer-
cised the greatest care in seeing that
relief should not be made too pleasant
or easy for the refugees. while max
ing their own surroundings as COM
Portable and convenient as possible.
POLICY OF DIR. DEvINE.
our policy said Dr. Devine, lean
ing back k~luxuriously in his comfortab Bile
easy chair in the library of the mansion
which he occupied while in San Fran
cisco, "is not to make the soup kitch-
ems attractive places. If they are made
undesirable the refugees who can get
away from them will do so.'
The soup kitchens. even by the
widest stretch of the imagination, could
not be called attractive. But there was
nothing unattractive about the little
dinners at which Soup Kitchen Pro-
prietor Desmond entertained SO many
of those charged with captaining the
relief work.
CONTRAST IN BUILDINGS.
The building activities of the Relief
Corporation shows in a marked degree
the contrast between what is good
enough for the refugees and what those
charged with caring for the refugees
deem essential to their own comfort.
On Union Square, for example, is the Of
fee of the land and building depart
ment Of the corporation. 1t is neat
cottage, 20x30, boarded and shingled
on the sides. There are attractive
doors and windows and the interior is
well finished. This excellent little
building would make an ideal house for
a mechanic or small merchant. 1t cost
the corporation about 5000
On the other hand. in the several
parks OF the city are going up the
shacks which are to be occupied by
the refugees this winter. These shacks
are not shingled on the sides. The
sides, in fact, are merely upright
boards. which may and may not turn
the water this winter. The cost of
these buildings is about 800 for the
two-room shacks and $3.50 for those
containing three rooms.
1t cannot be said that the interior of
these buildings is ideal For the most
part, those occupying them are cooking
out doors, but will later be furnished
with gas stoves. The walls of some
of the houses have been decorated with
pictures cut from newspapers. Some
have tables, some have a few chairs,
and others, whose occupants have
neither tables nor chairs, are furnished
with boxes.

Chief of Police Dinan has received
a communication from the Merchants
Association commencing the police for
their efforts in regulating the traffic
on Third street. 1t is pointed out that
this thoroughfare has become one of
the main arteries of the city and for
that reason it is important TO keep it
clear. The letter reads in part:
Much of the congestion on the street
is undoubtedly caused by the drivers
of teams not making an intelligent eff
fort to keep out of the way of passing
cars when the roadway is sufficiently
clear for them to do SO. This can large
-ly be overcome by officers on the street
with authority and special instructions
directing the travel. Continued action
by your department. for that purpose
undoubtedly will have the support of
