GREAT GUNS Will
GUARD THE COAST
Point San Pedro, the Key to San
Francisco, Is TO Be
Fortified

Point San Pedro, Is miles down the
coast. the key to San Francisco, as 203
Meter hill was regarded as the key to
Port Arthur, is to be made invulner-
able. Huge IA inch guns are to be
planted in the high hills that look out
to sea- These weapons will be the
largest on the Pacific coast and their
strength will be as great as the most
powerful used by any foreign power.
The board of officers, composed of
Colonel Lundeen, Colonel Bellinger and
Colonel Biddle, detailed to report on the
most advantageous position for these
cannon, have recommended Point San
Pedro. The reports of these officers
have been uniformly adopted by the
government, and it is expected that
work on the fortifcations will be begun
in few weeks.
Point San Pedro juts oceanward in a
manner to command a sweep of the
coast line from the Farallones far be-
low Halfmoon bay. Any fleet attack
ing San Francisco from the southwark
would encounter the relentless fire of
these guns. The fortifications will be
so arranged as to protect the city from
attack by land as well as by sea
The Importance of this movement may
be determined when it is known that
the largest cannon at the Preside, Fort
Miley and Fort Baker are IL inch guns.
While those proposed for Point San Pc
dro are OF IA inch caliber

II Rollie Zeider had pegged the ball

Of Mickey La LOnge. in the eighth in
ming yesterday afternoon Oakland and
san Francisco might still be playing
the game without doing any good. But
Zeider heaved the sphere away with
two down and Truck Eagan numbered
in from second base and slid for the
rubber. Williams whipped the ball in
and il looked as though the runner
had been nailed bat Umpire Stulz
yelled safe and that settled the issue.
Before and after that time nobody
figured TO make run. Both teams
were playing the real hair line base
ball and the pitchers were working as
two pitchers never worked before. It
was unfortunate that the game should
have been broken up in such a way,
especially after Zeider had perfOrme ed
like three time champion all the
afternoon.
Heitmuller started off the inning for
Oakland with a safe drive TO the left
garden. but Eagan forced him at sec
Ond on bunt Slattery laced what
looked like q live hit through the in

ones down the line TO Zeider. The

and Nick failed TO hold il. Seeing his
chance. Truck kept right on his way
and hit the ground for the plate. Viii
liams returned the ball and the umpire
said something that gave no joy to
the Seals.
After his miserable start Tuesday
afternoon SOuthpaw Hardy came back
and twisted a magnificent game He
never was in a hole and he had per-
feet command Of the ball at all times,
not a Seal working him for a pass. All
who saw the game were willing TO go
on record as saying that it was the
hest that the Oakland southwin ger
has pitched since Joining the team.
Berger unfortunately lOst his second
game since signing up with the Seals.
1t was hard luck for the youngster,
for his efforts deserved a far better
reward. On several occasions he
pitched himself out of mean holes and
al all times he gave a splendid exhibit
ton Of the slabster's art. having speed
ana control Of the sphere
The Oakland aggre cation played like
another ball team and anybody who
watched its bush like tactics across the
bay on Tuesday would have been in
favor Of ruling IL out of the league on
general principles. None of the Oaks
erred, though hard chances were com

BIG POLITICAL MEETING
Large Crowd Turns out to Hear
Major Reed Monday Night

Major Reed addressed the biggest
political meeting of the year, at the
opera house, Monday night. 1t almost
equaled in attendance the total attend
ance of all the political meetings of both
parties here in Shoshone
Those who look on Major Reed as a
mere fun-maker, word painter or a
seller of land, do not quite know the
real man who spoke Monday night. He
is neither these, nor narrow partisan,
to recite factory made speech eulo-
CYSTIC of some one or ones seeking Of
fee. He did not excuse his own party
for its shol tcoming little formalde-
hyde wouldn't hurt either of them
but he showed up the big things done
through the carrying out of the repub-
lican party principles, and the harm
that would inevitably come through the
destruction of these business principles.
Major Reed made two other speeches
last week, at Gooding and Hagerman.
which packed both houses and did not a
little to swelt the republican majorities
in those precincts.
