Search Abandoned.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.--All hope
OF adding more names to the list of sur.
vivors OF the Columbia disaster has
been abandoned by the officials OF the
San Francisco 4 Portllnd Steamship
Company. 1t is believed that those
now missing will never be found alive,
the contention being that they must
have gone down with the ill.fated yes
sci.
Officials OF the steamship company
are convinced that only those picked up
by the steamer George w. Elder and
those who came ashore on the life raft
at Shelter Cove at midnight Monday
escaped death IN the sea.
Patrolled Scene.
Although the scene of the disaster
has been thoroughly patrolled ever since
the Columbia went down, no more bodies
have been picked up, and the natural
inference is that the missing bodies are
washing about in the staterooms and
other closed compartments OF the sunk
en- steamer
An inquiry into the cause of the dis.
aster was commenced this afternoon by |
the government officials here. State !
ments OF the San Pedro's officers have
been received by the investigating board
and will be offered in evidence at the
inquiry.
Sensational Story Of Suicide.
The most sensational story told by
any of the Columbia wreck survivors
is that related by W. s. Williams, a
colored man OF Oakland. Williams was
one of the steerage passengers and was
rescued by Quartermaster Hinner in
boat No. and reached this city yes
terdav with the other members of Hin
ner's party. According to Williams
story, one of the passengers, when he
found that the boats had all left the
shipland it was sinking, committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the
mead with his revolver.

RUMOR OF McGRAW'S
REMOVAL WON'T DOWN

NEW YORK, November l3.-The air OF
diplomatic mystery or mysterious diplo-
macy that is lounging about the Giants
headquarters since the McGraw affair saw
daylight must give the old st. James
building the impression that it is the
court of St. James
President John T. Brush has by this
time been asked point blank dozen times
whether McGraw is to go. and in no case
has he availed himself of ,he simple de-
nial. 1t is automatic that two negatives
form a positive and, since the boss of
the Giants refuses to deny that the man
ager is slated. the base oal public is justi-
fed in assuming that he admits it.
There are just two possible explanations
Of the attitude that President Brush has
taken The club may be sezng this op
portunity to get little off season adVeT-
tising, but this can be thrown out Cnde
MED statements that a manager as We'll
known as McGraw is to be hurled out OF
his Job so he can have more time TO de
vote to the races is not exactly a healthy
kind of advertising for any club, and
particularly one that has so much to re
gain in lost prestige.
The only other explanation is that Nc
Graw is to be let out, and that the time
for the official announcement is not yet
Impartially reviewing McGraw's record is
d manager in the last two years there
will not be great deal of surprise when
the announcement comes.
The shopworn references to the glory of
the worlds champions and the injustice
Of fans who want pennants all the time
have lost their punch Fans don't want
pennants all the time, but they want good,
sincere base ball and team that is ''up
there" There would have been no criti-
cism Of the Giants or their manager if
they had run only game. If bad, second
to the Cubs. Finishing back of Pittsburg
might have been forgiven. though it hurt.

to valuable players. But finishing fourth

BASE BALL NOTES.

President Dovey of the Bostons has fig
ured out a circular score card to represent
a base bail with the team around the
border doing the sewing. He is probably
trying to show them what their work re-
minds him of.
Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates says
that he is after good outfielders. Which
only adds to the wonder that he ever let
go of Beaumont, Ganley and Clymer.
Miller Higgins of the Reds holds the
seasons record for steady work. The
schedule is l54 games and he played in lo6

If Jake Stahl can he persuaded to ne
have and play base ball here it IS quite
possible that he may be called upon to fill
a big hole in the Yankee infe!d left by a
better man. 1t begins to look like a GER
tainty that Hal Chase will play outlaw
base ball on the Pacific coast this winter
and should he do so he will precipitate one
OF the lovelest rows that base bali has
been heir to in some time.
The national commission has issued a
stern manifesto warning all players in the
agreement that they can play with the
California league only at the cost OF being
barred from organized base ball for life.
If Chase calls the bluff there certainly
will be fun Griffith will not let go of him
without battle, and the national COM
mission can hardly reinstate him without
making itself laughing stock for the
base ball world and paving the way for
the abrogation of the document that gives
