LAWYERS WORKING
ON TIDELAND CASE
ATTORNEY GENERAL WEBB TO
COOPERATE
Expert Insists That Municipal Control
of San Pedro Bay Should Be
Vested in One Munlcl.
pallty

Since receipt Of the letter from At
torney General u. S. Webb giving his
permission to Los Angeles to bring suit
through him in the name of the state
to settle the tideland claims in Will
mington bay, the work of getting ready
for the litigation is progressing faster
With the announcement sof the ap-
pointment of James A. Anderson as
special counsel in the case on behalf
of the Los Angeles harbor COMMISSION
work on the papers was Immediately
begun through George H. Stewart. F.
w. Braun and Thomas e. Glib
bon of the commission have been at
work for months on the details of the
litigation.
Secretary Alexander Fleming of the
commission, who is also an attorney
will be associated with Mr.. Anderson
in the case.
The suit will be brought on behalf
of the people of Los Angeles and Is
therefore Invested of any private inter-
est.
Webb Is Willing
In his letter Gen Webb writes, re-
plying to the resolution of the Los
Angeles city council authorizing the
suit:
IF the title to the lands surround
ing San Pedro harbor heretofore grant
ed private parties has not been legally
granted these lands should be reverted
TO the state, and to this end the proper
actions should be commenced and
prosecuted.
with this end in view I shall be
pleased to grant the necessary author
ity to commence and prosecute such
actions and do all that lies within my
power to present the true facts to the
courts, that patents to such lands as
shall prove to have been illegally
granted may be cancelled"
AS Joseph II. Call, the rail and water
rate legal expert, has often declared
that the municipal control of San
Pedro bay should be vested in single
municipality, this en- be done by con-
solidating the towns unon the bay with
the city of Los Angeles, thus laying
the foundations for a great CONNER
cial and manufacturing city which can
secure raw materials and carry on
commerce as cheaply as any city in
the world.
Three Alternatives
If this cannot be done there remain
three alternatives:
First-For the city of Los Angeles
to extend the west government ship
channel from inner San Pedro bay
into city limits and construct city
docks connecting with macadamized
roads to the business districts, which
will enable freight (probably by auto
trucks to be hauled at nominal prices
direct to the stores and warehouses in
Los Angeles without transshipment or
reloadng.
Second-For the state of California
to construct a public dock in San
Pedro where the largest ships may tie
and load or unload.
Third-For the United States govern

A BALI PLANTERS, uNIoN.

Ball players of the future may form a part of the American Feder- ation of Labor, according to a story sent from St Louis. It appears an- nually. President Samuel Gompers approves it, seeing no reason why, like other labor, 1t should not organ ize and tote union cards and work on union schedule. q can see no reason why they should not organ ize," he said. Baseball playing has become skilled profession, and the thousands who assembled to see the game in which the Browns won the victory prove it has become util- .ity. As skill is required to play the game, see no objection to those of the craft joining for mutual advan- tage.' The the ball players decide to form a union the fans may be fur, nished the spectacle of a strike dif- ferent from those common in base ball parks.

TY COBB roo GRATEFUL.

Concerning the report emanating from Boston that Ty Cobb, of De- troit. would be barred from the Bos- ton grounds for one year as a result of his difficulties there, as was Del ahanty of Washington for improper language on the Cleveland diamond, President Ban Johnson of the Amer ican league stated that no formal complaint had been made against Cobb by the Boston club and unless such complaint was made no official action would be taken. However. as a result of several informal com plaints of verbal fireworks between Cobb and spectators in various cities, President Johnson recently sent letter warning the Detroit manage, ment that Cobb's, tongue should be curbed or that young player would draw punishnrent.-Chicago Trt- bune.

PONIES HANG ON TIGHT
Hartford Hustles. But the Lead is
 Still Secure.

That. double victory over Water bury by Hartford yesterday brought Tom" Dowd's club still closer to Springfield in the fight for the Con- necticut league spennant, and the day before the closing of the season finds the clubs: but three points apart Springfield is playing a douhle-header at Holyoke this after noon. while Hartford is playing one game at New Haven. While two game in one afternoon with Holyoke mean deep bother, there Is consid- erable confidence among Springfield fans that there will be two victories though the dropping of one of the games would not put the club out of the running. If such condition should arise, the club would still have its chances of the pennant in the game with Hartford. An even break at Holyoke with Hartford beating New Haven would put Hart ford in first place with three points margin, and the worst that can hap pen at Holyoke is but one defeat. Hartford is tearing along at whirl- wind pace. but there is a big ques- tion if 1t can get away with New Haven. If 1t loses, Springfield can afford to suffer one loss at Holyoke.

PASSING. OF PLAYERS
How Eight Years Have Seen Holes
 Made in the Ranks.

The announcement that Al Orth had been released by the New York Americans to the Lynchburg, Va, club, marked the passing of another star who was with the Phillies when the war between the National and American leagues broke out. Near lye all of the great bunch of players who jumped the Phillies, for Ameri- can league clubs have now passed out of the major league swim. Ed Delehanty was the first to go, in 1903, after a struggle on bridge at midnight near Buffalo, and his body was found below the Niagara Falls. Frank Donahue, the heady, nervy twirler, who while with the Quakers shut out Boston without a hit, quit the game at the end of 1905 because he wasn't made mana ger of the Washington club. Dona- hue is now hotelkeeper. Monte Cross Is manager of the Kansas City club. Pitcher Bill Duggleby, who jumped the Phillies and then jump ed back again, Is now with the Ro- chester Eastern league team. Bill Bernhard is trying to capture pen- nant in the south as manager of a club. Elmer Flick has been i'll all season with stomach trouble and his return to the diamond is question. The men who are still ih the major league ranks are Lajoie, manager of Cleveland, and as good a player as he was when he was with the Quak- CTS; Chick Frazer. with the Chi cago Nationals. taking life easy as usual, and Harry White, with the Chicago Americans. All were star player sin 1900 and now only three of them are with big teams. Surely the life of big league player, even when he is better than the average, is short at best. = Philadelphia Times.

THE BEST MAN <.
 HAS A CHANGE
Cross and Fitzgerald Will Meet . and the Winner Will Tackle
 Nelsou.

Leach Cross, champion of the east side, will meet Willie Fitzger> aid in six-round contest at the Na- tional Athletic club, East Twenty fourth street, New York, tonight. It will be near championship bat tie, and of national importance, as the winner will be matched with Packy Mcfarland, and the winner of that battle will meet Battling Nell son for the worlds lightweight title.
 The contest promises to provide more action and interest than any battle the New York fans have had chance to see in long while, and great crowd is expected at the ringside. The east side will march to the scene of the fray to root for It's champion ,and all the old-time fans, who once backed Fitzgerald when he fought Joe Cans for the title, will be on hand to help the Fighting Harp win back his laurels. Fitzgerald will enter the ring with nearly months hard training be- hind him. He has worked strenu- ously for the present match, and de- clares he is as good as when he met Cans. In Cross, however, he will meet the shiftiest man he has ever encountered-one who is hard to pin down. Cross has had meteoric ca, reer, and has managed to stand off the best boys in the east
 YOUNG OTTO PUTS OUT BEDELL.
 Young Otto showed that his punch has not suffered any from his trip out west when he knocked out Joe Bedell in the second round of their fight at the Roman A. C., New York, last night. Otto outclassed his op- ponent ,and in the first round ha staggered Bedell with right to the body. Joe landed only one good punch. That was in the first round when he staggered Otto with a right swing to the jaw. In the second Ot- to put Bedell down for the count with right to the jaw, and when Bedell arose Otto dropped him again with a left to the chin. In the other bouts Billy West knocked out Dick Broad in two rounds and George Hoey stopped Young Clark in one round.
