Famous Rival Pitchers.

The National pennant race has again
demonstrated that pitchers and bat
terry are the chief factors in the sue
cess of team, pitchers taking pre-
eminence. Men like Brown, Reulbach
and Overall of Chicago. Mathewson
and Wiltse of New York and Maddox,
Willis and Lever of Pittsburg. practi-
cally the cream OF the National league
twirling talent, draw thousands of
spectators merely through the magic
of their names and fill the youth of the
land with fiery ambition to some day
wax likewise heroic. Christy Mathew
son, an ex-college student, and Morde-
cal Brown. once a coal miner, have
long been rivals for the pitching su-
premacy. Mathewson on his work Of
this year must be ranked above Brown
and as the greatest pitcher Of the day.
"NIatty" gets about $4,000 a year
largely because of his famous "drop."
This drop curve, or down shoot. of his
is one of the most disconcerting curves
ever faced by batsmen and may well
be termed Mathewson's ''breadwin-
ner." The ball breaks its course sharp
" directly in front of the plate and
drops from twelve to twenty-five inch
es almost perpendicularly
Browns most effective curve is his
inshoot. His curves apparently do not
suffer from the serious handicap aris-
ing from his mangled pitching hand,

Of mammals, and some skins lately sent

the city hospitals by Morris Brothers.
according to reports received by the

having been arranged with the wireless

that the board of supervisors spend
$3.50 for operating instruments for the
city and county hospital.
A communication was received from
the anti-Japanese league that certain
Japanese laundries in the city were in
sanitary. The matter was referred 10

MISSION PROMOTERS
CENSURE CHIEF BIGGY
Charge Him With Failing to En-
force the Law in Many
WaVS and Places

Members of the Mission promotion
association last night censured Chief
OF Police Biggy for what they regarded
as a lack Of diligence in enforcing the
city's laws. The unfortunate accident
that resulted in the death of the late
P. y. Lilienthal was cited as an in
stance where police protection and law
enforcement were lacking 4 new or
dinance preventing the driving of wild
horses on the streets was proposed, but
p. J. W. Mcguire declared that law en-
forcement, and not new ordinances, was
needed
He also declared that Buggy affords
better police protection in the tender
loin district than existed in the Mission
district. Censure was also directed at
Biggy for the nonenforcement of the
Ia " relating TO the operation of cars at
night without headlights. a committee
was instructed to take up the matter
OF law enforcement.
Patrick Calhoun and the United Rail-
roads came in for a share of the repri-
mands when member of the associa-
tion said that the streetcar service is
gradually becoming worse and that the
number of cars operated in the Mission
district is becoming less.
Committees were directed to urge the
refusal Of blasting permits to the GRAY

CALIFORNIA WILL GIVE
LECTURES AT EXPOSITION
Stereopticon Views Will Be
Shown at Alaska Yukon
Fair

San Francisco will have no exhibit
at the Alaska Yukon exposition in Sc
attic. Instead the executive committee
of the California exhibit has decided
upon a series of stereopticon views and
distribution of an illustrated pamphlet.
which will set forth the city's advan
tages.
This method OF advertising has been
decided upon in the belief that it will
be more effective than exhibiting pro-
ducts handled by and brought forth in
this market. To pursue it the com
mittee will need to employ a number
of lecturers who will give talks to ac-
company the views. r'unds to defray
the expenses of this will be asked from
businessmen by the committee The
pamphlets will contain many views and
much information concerning San Fran
cisco and the other cities about the
bay. There will also be a relief man
of the bay cities. The pamphlets will
be distributed daily and the lectures
will be given every day and evenfng 2
during the four months of the EXPOSE
tion. The chairman of the executive
committee has been directed to prepare
a circular letter which will be sent to
many. citizens who are interested in
the promotion of the welfare of San
francisco and the territory contiguous.
