"a dispassionate review of the poll

critical period in our municipal life,

There has not been a time since the
Southern Pacific became interested in
politics that it did not largely con-
troll the legislation and administration
of our city through the agency of one
party or the other. Allied with other
public utility corporations, and with
unscrupulous leaders, it has domin-

dictated nominations.

are easy between us. The history of
San Francisco is the same. With its
unspeakable corruption engendered
and financed by the Southern Pacific
it has brought contempt upon republi-

men have been driven out of politics.

The winning run was scored when,
with two outs, Earl Haight made wild

make second, from which base he pur-
loined third. Ballinger fumbled the
ball, allowing Tiechman to cross the
plate. The attendance is beginning to

that record breaking crowds will be in
attendance from now on. Results:

which will accrue to you.
Never have prospects for a peaceful
and harmonious year in cast baseball
appeared more roseate than do those
for the season of 1910 loom up at the
present time. Though the details have
not been agreed upon, there seems
every likelihood that when next sea-
sons play begins there will be no out
law league in California. new, Virile,
ambitious class B organized league is
under way in the central part of the
state. San Francisco, Oakland, Sacra-
mento, Stockton, Fresno and San Jose
are lined up as the probable m mbers
of the league. There is a splendid field
for a minor organization in California.
The central state fans are eager for
good baseball and are ready to back
such a league heartily. With the Coast
league as a parent, this baby" body
would be strongly entrenched, and its
success would be assured from the
state. The fans, statewide, will hail
with satisfaction the end of a baseball
war that has been a disadvantage to
all parties, has been a hindrance to the
game and has resulted in manifold en-
barrassmentsc to the players who have
jumped 70 the outlaws.
Fight followers who journey to Maud
Junction tomorrow night will be pray
ing that one of the two heavyweights
who are carded for the ten-round event
will show sufficient class to be entitled
to match with the "higher-up' in the
game. The heavyweight division is
lonesomely confined to two or three
fighters of acknowledged class. Never
has the premier class been so devoid
of fighters of ability. There are a few
middleWeights who, for lack of better
material, are being showed on up to
meet the big men. But any man who
cannot make over 165 or 40 pounds
cannot hope to compete with men of
Jack Johnson's power and size. A new
heavy of proved strength, skill and
physical proportions would be the big
gest boon the fight fans could receive. IF
With Kaufman dead one, Barry on
the fence, Langford and Ketchel so far
outweighed that they do not figure, a
husky 190-pounder like Jack Burns or
Sieberg has golden opportunities await
ing him with the champion.
Bubbles" Robinson, the clever Los
Angeles boxer, sends the tale of his
most recent victory. Bubbles fought
George Stucke of Chicago at Glenn
Falls, New York, last week and won an
easy six-round decision after going
down for the count of nine from a
lucky right hook to the jaw in the first
round. The battle was so clever and
furious that it completely outclassed
the Joe Thomas-Bartley Connolly
main event, and in popular opinion re-
placed that go as the chief attraction.
Bubbles writes that he is winning his
eastern fights regularly, but he. is anx-
ious to get back to the Angel City.
He has groomed himself into good con-
l..

er reaches this point he reither is ready
to leave the ring or is getting ambi-
