The San Francisco call., 1908-07-13

Oakland will be off the baseball map
entirely.
Both games were about the limit for
ragged, rough shod baseball,f and they
perpetuated the bushy work of the
week.
The Oakland nine gave a grand ex-
hibition of tossing off a game that is
of six runs in the fourth inning and
then running second. But that's the
way the Oakland lads ran yesterday
afternoon. The grand jury should get
busy with few true bills. The mem
bers of the inquisitorial body can col
lect plenty of evidence from among the
fans.
ANGELS START IN FIFTH
Oakland opened up by giving the
twisters of southpaw Dolly Gray fine
pounding. Everybody was meeting the
ball, and if it did not go safe the
Angel fielders booted it, so it was all
the same for Oakland. This sort of
stuff kept on till Gray was rousted
and Koestner took up the burden. Then
the Commuters quit for the balance of
the afternoon.
With the score to for him, the
courageous Mr.. Hopkins started off the
fifth inning by passing Delmas and
Hogan and allowing Koestner to pick
out single, filing the bases. Even
then little Johnny could not recover
his lost control and Bernard got a
walk, forcing Delmas over the plate and
giving the southerners the chance that
they were looking for.
Oaks could do no better than produce
an easy grounder to short, but while
the play was being made Hogan trotted
in. Then Cook booted Wheeler's
grounder and another one arrived. Just
to make a good job out of it Kitty
Brashear swung in with a nice hit to
center and the remaining two base run
ners completed their journey and the
score was to 5.
OAKS TOSS GAME AWAY
During the height of the tumult Hop
kins was banished and Deacon Bill
Wright came in with instructions to
switch the tide of victory in favor of
Oakland. But Bill did not have his
mystifying shoots with him, nor did he
have any luck or support. All these
forces seemed to combine against him
in the eight inning, when the Oaks
blew the game for fair.
Brashear was the first to land on
Altman's error. He was followed by
Smith. who lined out a hit Then Ellis
landed while Truck Eagan was fight
ing the sphere around the lot. and it
was a full house. DeImas hit into a
double, but While the play was in
progress Brash shot in. Bernard fin
ished it up with a single through the
infield, scoring Ellis and. 10. it was
curtains with Oakland after that fine
lead of six runs.
Gray never pitched such a miserable
game as ne did while he remained in
the box. He had absolutely nothing to
hand out, not even control. When
Dillon observed this he replaced him
with Koestner and the other big fell
low was there for the rest of the day,
holding Oakland to lonesome hit
The Oaks started their rally In the
first inning by hitting the ball down to
George Wheeler at first. After boot
ing one, George lost his nerve and
everything that rolled his way was
good for a base or more. The Oaks
discovered this weak spot and profited
while Wheeler was to the bad but.
once he recovered, the winning COM
bination was exploded and the Oaks
quit. The score:

CHINESE BALL PLAYERS WIN

Mandarin buttons and kimonos mixed
1t again in the Sixteenth street, Oak
land, baseball lot yesterday and the
Chinese athletic association of this city
had a revenge on the Asahi athletic
club, the Japanese muscular organiza-
tion of Alameda. The score at the end
of the ninth stood 10 to in favor of
the lads from Chinatown.
The victory of the dragon followers
was considered all the more worthy
because in a recent game the mikado
cohorts of Alameda won by17 to 9.

There was not even a spoonful of joy

ball nine that bears the name of the
fair city beyond the bay allowed the
hostile tribe of Angels to trample it
in the dust of the diamond and then
walk over 1t and kick it all over the
lot. In both the morning and the after

ALL THE WORLD IN DELAWARE.

Eleven New York blocks have a
density of 1900 per acre, which means
that If the whole of little Delaware
were similarly crowded. it could con-
tain the entire population of the
world, white, black, yellow and red.
OF course such congestion induces
bestial crowding in single rooms. The
results of a special investigation Of
the family crowding In the Italian
quarters were shown by statistics
photographs and diagrams.
OF the families examined, IS per
cent occupied one room, 34.4 per cent
occupied only two rooms showing a
condition much worse than the aver
age on the east side, where a family
consists of seven persons living in
three rooms, three members being at
home, two at school and two at work.
Among these Italians less than
three out of every 100 families had
five rooms, and yet, as IL one and two
rooms for a family were overabund-
ant, about one-third of the families
had one lodger Al per cen, two lodg-
ers, 16.5 per cent three dodgers and
81 per cent four rodgers. Thus.
counting two children under 12 as
equivalent to one adult, one-sixth of
the rooms in these Italian quarters
were found to be housing as many as
four adults each.-Charities and
Commons.

WHAT JOAQUIN MILLER LIKED.

Joaquin Miller, the. poet of the
Sierras, is something Of a recluse and
rarely comes into San Francisco. but
when he does he is made a good deal
OF lion. On his last visit he was
one Of the guests at a rather formal
dinner at friends house, where he
stayed over night. His hostess had
known the poet since her childhood
so she felt privileged next morning to
discourse to him of the beauties Of
the Partisan gown she had worn the
night before-beautles which seemed
to have escaped his observation.
Mr.. Miller listened to all that she
had to say and remained silent.
But didn't you really like the
dress?" pleaded the lady.
We'll" replied the poet, II did like
part Of 1T we'll enough"
The lady frightened.
"Indeed?" she said. what part p"
"The part you had on" answered
the poet, and that ended the discus-
sion.-Lippincott's.

TAFT AND BRYAN.

The Sunday Oregonian publishes
the following comprehensive editorial
on the presidential situation as that
paper sees it:
That Taft and Bryan will be the
candidates of their respective parties
is now as certain as any forecast ever
can be. Next best representative Of
the tendencies and purposes of the
Roosevelt administration-nex best
to Roosevelt himself-is Taft; though
1t is not doubted that Hughes would
be a strong man devoted in the main
to the same purposes, and perhaps
ir many localities more acceptable
than Taft. We believe Hughes would
be surer to win in Ohio and Illinois
than Taft, and quite as sure to win
in New York.
But Taft, manifestly, is gathering
up the strength for the convention.
In the Pacific states he will be ex-
ceptionally strong, because of his
comprehensive knowledge Of our COM
mercial and naval needs in the Pa
ciflc.
This particular subject Is to be the
controlling and compelling one in
those national and international af-
fairs that have relation to American
interests centering in and upon the
Pacific ocean.
Hence 1t is that Oregon probably
will deem It best to send to the re-
publican convention delegates earnest
In support OF Mr.. Taft. That Mr.:
Bryan will have the democratic dele

ard mailed in Umatilla county, rather
than by some foreign concern in Port
land or San Francisco.
The lists OF names Of anxious in
quirers" sent out weekly by the Port
land Compercial club could be used
for the distribution of the printed
matter and in this way the advertis-
ing could be placed directly in the
hands of the people who have inquir-
ed about oregon and who will come
here upon proper presentation Of
the facts.
This paid booster or secretary could
SPEND his time in collecting attrac-
tive statistics, writing letters and an
swering inquiries and in mailing out
printed matter He could reach the
actual homeseekers and by personal
solicitation and direct arguments
could succeed in bringing many ex-
cellent citizens to the county.
This would be a much better plan
than to pay some magazine all the
advertising fund for an advertise
ment and write up which would reach
but a limited number of people, many
OF whom would not be interested in
the advertisement.
With unlimited resources to draw
upon for descriptive and statistical
matter and with this list of anxious
inquirers in the east to send the
printed matter to, there is no reason
why a first-class active secretary,
giving all his time to the work,
should not fill up the vacant places
in this county with enterprising peo-
pie in a couple of years.
Advertising is a business and must
be conducted on business principles,

THE FLOWER MOST PREFERRED

First on the list 1 would name the
peony, says Eben E. Rexford in Out
ing. This flower is simply magnifi-
cent in color and form; 1t blooms early
and with wonderful profusion when
we'll cared for and has the unusual
merit Of improving with age.
The older a plant gets the larger

set out so years ago. Some of them
are six feet across. On one of them l
counted more than 200 expanded
flowers last season.. and buds in all
stages of development gave promise
of flowers for a month to come.
Every garden ought to include a
collection of the best varieties of this
grand plant. Its colors range from
pure white to palest rose, carmine,
dark crimson and dull. rich reds. To
grow 1t we'll give it a rather heavy
soil. made very rich-with old, well
rotted COW manure IL posible-set the
tubers at least four inches below the
surface and after that disturb them
as little as possible.
No plant of which 1 have any
knowledge is so impatient over inter-
ference with its roots. Disturb them
slightly this season and you will not
be likely to get any flowers next sea-
son. The peony is entirely hardy any,
where in the north.

UNFAIR TO CAKE.

The Oregon Daily Journal, which
boasts of being fair and high-c class
journal, is beginning a crusade of
misrepresentation against H. NJ. Cake,
republican candidate for the United
States senate.
The Journal prints something
every day about the alleged disrup-
ton of Mr.. Cakes forces, the revolt
of the Fulton people from the Cake
camp, the alleged weakening of Mr..
Cake on statement No. /, and other
absolutely unfounded matters in Mr..
Cakes campaign.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Cake
has made a clean, fair and honest
campaign standing upon principle
entirely and leaving mud singing and
partisan prejudice and bitterness out
OF the game, the action of the Jour-
nal is surprising.
Mr.. Cake deserves fair treatment at
the hands of the Journal, although
he may be a republican. He has won
creditable fight before the people
of Oregon and the Journal is not
making any votes for Governor
Chamberlain by printing false state
ments concerning Mr.. Cake.
There is no sign anywhere in Ore
gon that the Fulton people are going
to assist in the election of Governor
Chamberlain who went out of his
way to engage with Heney in the fight
on Senator Fulton.
Mr.. Cake has not wavered in his
advocacy Of statement No. l. and he
will not waver. He made the fight
on that principle and won one of the
most noteworthy victories in the po-
litical history Of the state, defeating
one of the very strongest men in his
party in the senatorial race.
Mr.. Cake is a strong, forcible, hon
est, clean candidate, a first-class
public-spirited, active, alert
and high-minded, and will be an hon
or to Oregon in the United States
senate. And being a republican, will
be in position to take an active part
II the affairs of government, instead |
Of being an obstructionlst and an OBJ
jector to every move made for the ex-
scution of the Roosevelt policies.

KEEP MONEY AT HOME.

Do you have any idea how much
Pendleton money has been invested
outside OF this city and county, in
Alberta, Texas, Portland, Spokane,
Seattle, St, Johns and other points,
in the past three years?
Stop and count on your fingers the
bank accounts which have been re-
duced in these outside investments,
and you will be surprised that
Pendleton has done as we'll as she has
under the circumstances.
If all this money had been invest
ed in new enterprises which would
employ labor in this city, Pendleton
would now be twice as large and rich
as she is. But people who have made
fortunes here have invested else
where, thus sapping the strength Of
the city and building up other places
at Pendleton's expense.
Talk about Hartman milking"
Oregon TO get funds for investment
in eastern roads. Pendleton has been
MIXED" to a great extent and is still
the best town in the state outside of
Portland. If she had all the money
she has made for capitalists she would
be a city Of 5000 population en-
ploying several thousand laborers
with enormous payrols.
