cal store and the nine of the Great

and scored all their runs. 1t was
then agreed that the game should
go seven innings. says Manager Au-
gustine. OF the Scheuer team. But,
in the seventh, when the Scheuer
clerks sent the winning u across,
there came an argument, for the tea
company employees wanted the game
to go nine innings. The umpire was
appealed to, but Scheuer's team was
declared the victor.
Joseph Augustine twirled finely.
He secured fifteen strike-outs in the
seven innings.

Second Game.
The second contest was a hummer
In every detail. 1t was a contest in
which both sides fought with every
effort to win, for they we're tied for
second place. The position is now
being held by the D. s. A. G. nine.
The Danes opened with a run in the
first and the Puritans tied the score
in the fifth. They followed with
two more in the sixth, securing a
slight lead over their opponents. An
error on the part Of Egan, combined
with two doubles and a peculiar sim
gle, Melted the Danes three runs in
the seventh. The hit Of Louis Pc
tersen in that inning was obtained
unaware and the Puritans question
ed Umpire Kelly's decision, that it
was a safe hit. Petersen was tip
ping the plate with the bat across
his right shoulder. A pitched ball
touched it and dropped q few feet
from the plate. Petersen paused
and then ran to reach first base safe
ly.
There came wild excitement in the
beginning Of the ninth, when the
Puritans secured a run, tieing the
tasty. The D. s. A. c. team came
along in their half of the final ses-
sion and duplicated the feat on three
singles. The detail score:

the hesitancy Of the court In deter

In 1858 a street was built from Clay
street to Jackson street, adjoining and
outside of the water front line as es-
tablished by the act of 1851. 1t was
built by different wharf companies
under contract made with the city, by
which contract said street was to be
free for the public use in part consid-
Grafton for the franchise received from
the street. This was the beginning of
the water front boundary generally
known as East street. The legislature
of 1853 provided for the creation of a
board of three commissioners, one of
whom should be elected by the qualified
electors of the state, one by the senate
and assembly in joint convention and
one by the qualified electors of the city
and county of San Francisco.
This act embodied the comprehensive
scheme for the improvement and man
agement of the water front and made
the first provision for a seawall-

When the legislature of the state in
1851 authorized the city Of san Fran
cisco TO construct wharves at the end
Of all streets terminating at the bay,
that portion Of the city north Of the
intersection Of East, Sacramento and
Market streets and east Of Drumm
street was an open portion of the bay
Of san Francisco, and no Improvement
whatever had been made thereon. The
act authorized the city of San Fran
cisco to create wharves by extending

goo yards beyond the, existing outline
Of the beach and water lots, and the
,ity was authorized to prescribe the
rates OF wharfage to be collected on
said wharves. The act also provided
chat the space between the wharyes as
extended should be free from obstruc--

accommodation and benefit Of the gen.

Improvements That Haze Been Made, and
Where the Money Came From

improvements existing at that time
consisted of a wharf at Third and King
streets and another just east Of King
street. These were all the improve
ments south of Bryant street. From
Bryant street north at irregular in
tervals wharves and slips were pro-
vided TO Montgomery. and Lombard
streets, beyond which point there were
no improvements existing except
Meiggs wharf, which was built from a
base resting on private property in
Bay street
At this time the state took control
of the water front by an arrangement
made between the legislature and the
city government, all of the special priv
ileges and franchises being terminated
under equitable agreements
All Of the improvements up to this
time were on wood piling, and no sea-
wall had been built In 1856 further
accommodations of temporary char
acter had been provided at Mission
street, Market street Commercial
street, Clay street, Washington street,
Jackson street, Broadway and Vallejo
street.
The legislature of 1878 confirmed the
change in alignment of the water front
line from the east line of Taylor
street to the southern boundary of the
city and county, entirely changing the
bulkhead line and creating a thorough
fare parallel with the same.
SEAWALL CONSTRUCTION
In August, 1873, plans were COM
pleted and advertised for the construc-
tion~ of the first section of the existing
seawall running 1000 feet westerly
from the easterly line of Kearny street,
The construction of this section was
Immediately followed in the same year
by contract for additional 900 feet
running southeasterly. This construc-
tion may be considered as marking the
commencement of the permanent harbor
of San Francisco.
Other sections followed as necessi-
ties and funds allowed, resulting at the
present time in total length of H.
1905 feet constructed at cost OF over
S2.000000 There is also in addition to
the above length of seawall construct
ed approximately SOC feet of seawall
breakwater at Fishermans wharf,
which was built at a cost of SIS, ,665. 54.
In addition to the seawall already
constructed contracts have been award
ed for two sections to be known as sec
tions and 800 and 1000 feet in
length respectively.
Section of this new seawalI is
already in the course of construction
between the ferry building and the
south line of Mission street and is to-
day about 40 per cent complete. This
is a type Of seaWall construction en-
tirely different from any heretofore
constructed in THIS harbor. First a
trench is dredged and partially filled

more rock is filled in the trench until
rock wall is formed, the top of which
is 80 feet below city base. On top of
this rock embankment concrete and

zero or city base. Rock is then filled
in on each side of the concrete wall to
