cAl,EoRNlA SUMMER LEAGUE

The directors of the California sum-
mer league held an important meeting
at the Hoegee store yesterday and at
tended to several matters pertaining to
the league. Plans were talked over re-
garding the formation of a winter
league, and from the information
cleaned after the meeting 1t was as
sured that the Edisons, Hoegees
Chutes, Santa Barbara, Home Councils
and another club would make up the
new league, which will retain its name
as the California Winter league.
Harry Lelande will be reelected as
president, and in all probability local
scribe will be appointed recording sec
retary. 1t has been planned to start
the schedule the first Sunday in Octo-
ber and play until April l.
Secretary George NJ. Ward stated
after the meeting that action would be
taken in the courts to restrain other
leagues from inserting the word Cali
fornia" In connection with the name
"winter league" "The reason for this
movement" said Ward, is because the
Summer league Is former seasons al
ways has been known as the Callrornia
Winter league, and we will endeavor
to uphold the name of the California
Winter league"
The next meeting of the Summer
league will be held Friday afternoon
at the w. H. Hoegee sporting goods
store, when all representatives OF the
different clubs will be present and the
small matters threahed out There
seems to be no hitch in Santa Barbara
joining the league, as citizens OF the
Channel city have sent word that they
would support q team in the California
Winter ranks. The Home Council club,
IL it enters, will be known as the
Maiers, and new suits will be purchased
to cost in the neighborhood of $10O.
The Woodmen of America manager
wants first class first and third base
man, as well as two outfielders. The
team will not play In the City league
next Sunday, as it goes to San Diego
to take part In the annual picnic and
drill of the Woodmen of America Of
the southern city. Assistant Manager
Leo O'Connor desires to meet players
in regard to playing on the Woodmen
club Saturday night at Hoegee's be-
tween 1880 and Q o'clock.
The Title Insurance and Trust conf
pany team has been reorganized and
would like to hear from the Echo Parks
in regard to a game Saturday. Call

I1 HE TrlendS tl Hltcner RoDerI Lyon
of the Chutes team will give him a
n benefit game next Saturday at
Chutes park, when a picked team of the
California league will tackle the Chutes
team. Lyon, in a recent game, fractured
his arm, and as he was compelled to
lay off the past four weeks 1t was de-
cided to raise money to pay his doctor
bills. Lyon is only 20 years old and is
an orphan and needs the funds that
will be presented to him after the game.
Lyon has two brothers who depend
upon him. A large crowd is expected
to be on hand to help the good cause
along. Tickets will be sold at 20 cents
and will be on sale at McCormick's pool
room on South Spring street, as well
as at the boxoffice of the Chutes ball
park.
The game will start shortly after 2
o'clock.
Following is the lineup of both teams:
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-02

no newspaper will be singled out and
made the "offieial' organ of the league,
and no discrimination will be made In
giving out the news official or other
wise.
President Mccormick last night de-
MED positively that the afternoon pa
per in question had been selected as
the official organ of the league, as 1t
had claimed, and the lengthy inter-
view printed by the paper purporting
to quote Mccormick as authority Tor
the story, as we'll as making him say
q lot of gushy things about the paper
in question also Is denied by McCor-
mick. He expressed the hope that the
''incident" would cause no trouble, ana
said that it will be the policy OF tne
league officials to give out the news
of the league doings to all newspapers
and that no one paper Will De singled
out and made the exclusive organ OF
the league.
The league has employed a press
agent, he says, and this official VIII
be charged with the duty or giving
widest publicity to announcements Oh
games, schedules, news and other items
of interest to the baseball cranks.
Therefore the fans who read only The
Herald need have no fear that they
will be forced to buy the afternoon
sheet in order to get the news OF doings
In the California Winter league ranks.
The Herald Is not the official organ OF
any league, but it prints all the anna
teur baseball news of the day and Will
continue to do so. The fans should not
be misled by such false reports.

of poll taxes, campaign contribu-
tiOns, personal favors, etc., they are
always johnny on the spot"
Il h is was kind act
on the part of the saloon man. AS a
class they are generous, and liberal
with their money, and know how to
place it where it will do the most
good. So, il seems that in Richmond
they worked the rabbit foot on
certain Anti-Saloon sympathizers in
the recent primary.
The liquor dealers, as a rule, are
wise and shrewd, and IL is "a wonder
that they cannot see that every time
they attempt to influence legislation,
and control the politics Of thei.
communities they injure ther2s-.ses
and render their business the more
unpopular. The nti-Saloon League
would perhaps. ,nSI be in existence
to day but fCI the defiance and reck-
lessness OF the liquor dealers, and the

their-placeS of business. Certainly
true 1t is that the fight against the
saloons has been intensified and more
determined on this account. The de-
fiance and OF the bad, unwise and
ignorant negro has brought upon the
race Acknowledgement and Jim
crow" laws, and political abrogation
by all parties, and SO, whether il be
a people or n traffic destiny is deter
mined by deeds, but the liquor
dealers seem TO be determined TO
bring about his own annihiliation by
his own imprudence and the ignoring
of the law of the survival of the
fittest.
The Clinch Valley News has urged
and proclaimed for years that the I'M
doing OF the merge and the source Of
all his woes are traceable directly or
indirectly to party politics, and like
wise mot comparing the one TO the
other the liquor business. Get out
and stay out OF politics, should be
their motto and determination.

publicans and certainly against the
spirit, IL not the letter of the United
States constitution, disfranchised
them throughout the South, and their
votes In Virginia since the promulga-
ton of the present constitution do
not amount to anything. In this con-
dition OF affairs when they are help
less, and when their votes are too
few to be of any assistance TO the Re
publicanS, il comes with bad grace
for Republicans TO turn upon them
and deprive them of even the poor
privilege of being heard in a conven-
ton of the party for which they have
always even under the most trying
circumstances, maintained an alleg-
lance which is unsurpassed i'm the
annals of party history.
But we will return To the subject
of the treatment according To the
colored delegates in the Lynchburg
convention, and viewing il from the
lowest point-the point of party ex-
pediency-we think the majority of
its members, who deprived delegates
of the right of being heard simply
because OF tSeir color, made a great
mistake and one which is likely to
prove disastrous TO the Republican
party, especially mt this time, when
the negroes of the whole country are
smarting under the wrong which
they are firmly convinced was done
in the Brownsville affair, which they
think was not only wrong done to
the troops who were discharged with
out honor, but was an insult to their
whole race.
The Lynchburg convention was a
Taft convention, and the feeling
against him among the negroes of
whole country on account OF the
Brownsville affair was a ready quite
bitter, and OF course this action by
n convention held in his interests Is
likely TO intensity this hostile feel
ing. Coming ut time when Presi-
dent Roosevelt was doing all that is
within his power TO reconcile the
negor voter in the Northern and in
the border States to Judge Taft's cam
didacy, we imagine that he felt
great disgust with the action of the
convention. That action was not
only wrong, but we think it was
PECULIARLY inappropriate at the time
IL was taken.

THE SALOON IN POLITICS

According to the Richmond news
papers the saloons of Richmond
figured conspicuOusly in the recent
primary held in that city. In a GER
tain ward three saloons and three
churches" were pitted against each
other, with the result that the
saloons won in their fight against the
nomination of man inimical to
their interests. 1t also appears that,
In so far as the. liquor men of the
city generally figured in the primary
their influence was against Mayor
Mccarthy and favored JudgeRichard-
son, the successful candidate. The
saloon, as an organization, discIaims
any action or part in the contest,
however, the fact remains, that the
saloons were against Mayor Nc
Carthy because of certain acts of his
during his term Of office.
1t is "a way the saloons have,
OF quietly, stealthily, and generally
fraudulently, trying TO influence
politics, and in certain cities, con-
troll the political situations in their
communities, and then aim
make it appear that they are keeping
hands off. They appear or aim To
