Schwerin did not have long to walt for an opportunity to vent his petty spite on The Call. When the steamer Belgic arrived bringing news from the Hawailan Islands and the departed troop ships the representatives of all { the papers other than The Call were al- lowed to go on the wharf and meet the passengers. A Call representative passed the gate with the others and was at once stopped and fi eject- ed by one of the gatekeepers, who said that he was only “obeying orders.” It is in such small and despicable ways that Schwerin proves his great- ness to the displeased and disgruntied corporations.

It is explicitly set forth in the section above quoted that the assignment of water front rights shall be made “upon such terms and conditions as they (the Commissioners) may determine.” It is confidently expected that before the month expires the Commission- ers will by resolution add “terms and conditions” that will prove to the Pa- cific Mail Steamship Company beyond the shadow of a doubt that they only rent and do not own the valuable prop- erty now occupied by them. The terms and conditions will be that every one, including the forbidden representatives of The Call, shall be entitled to free access to the Mail dock. The Harbor Commissioners fully appreciate the ridiculous and untenable stand taken by the self-important Schwerin and will let him and the corporations he represents know just where they stand on the water front management of af- fairs. If Schwerin and his superiors had ever given attention to the decision rendered by Judge Hebbard in Novem- ber, 1895, in the suit of Morton Brothers against the Pacific Coast Steamship | Company they would not, unless they | believe themselves above the law, at- tempt to deprive any one of the right of | entering the Malil dock.

' If the Democratic State Central Com- mittee had been present at Was! Square Hall last evening they lh:\\'a heard some statements of facts that would have caused them some un-| easiness. There was no band to play “A| Hot Time,” etc., but there was a goodly | crowd of earnest Democrats representing the North Beach district, who were in| a decidedly hot frame of mind, and they | took occasion to express their feelings | emphatically. { The meeting was held for the purpose | of protesting_ against the gction of the Democratic State Central Sommittee in arbitrarily appointing & inanagerial Committee of One Hundred to control the affairs of the party in this city, W out giving the northern section of San Francisco fair representation. Waiter Pilkington called the meeting to order, stating its object, and J. Al Spinetti offered resolutions in accordance therewith, as follows: The State Central Committee of atic ty of this State has seen »mpt to take from the only and recognized eneral Committee of the fatic party of the city and county of of which committee Major Har- | an, the power which is vested in | manage the local affairs of the | and to provide the manner tate, There- [ cr r | and mode of electing delegates to the municipal and legislative conventions. fore be it Resolved, That we, the bona-fide Democrats North Beach, here assembled at square Hall, corner of Union and | s, most earnestly protest and | part of the State Committee of the Democratic arty in making any attempt to deprive the sters of the city and county of San Francisco of_their rights to participate in the primary affairs of the party., Be it further | _Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions | be forthwith forwarded ta the State Central Committee, with a request that we be heard | in the premises and given a voice in this mat- ter of vital importance. And said State Cen- | tral Commilttee is hereby most respectfully re- Guested not to carry into execution a plan | which will prevent every bona-fide and honest Democrat from participating In the selection of members to represent them In a_general nty committee or to 84y nominating con- | vention, be it State, municipal or legislative. | Mr. Spinetti, in presenting the resolu- | tions, said that as a Democrat born on North Beach he protested against any power depriving him of his constitutional | rights to take part in the selection of | men to represent him. He declared the action of the State Central Committee | to be un-Democratic and un-American. | | The most cosmopolitan district in the | city, the Forty-fourth, in a committee of | 100 'was given but one representative, | | while in strong Republican districts | | there were as many as nineteen on the committee. “We: have the right,” sald he, “to say who shall represent us, not only in conventions, but in office, and these resolutions cover our grievance.” The resolutions were adopted unani- mously. Charles Reynolds, in the course of his remarks, sald that under the new re- gime it made no difference what dis- | trict a Democrat lived in, he had no rep- resentative except the “high joint” Com- | mittee of One Hundred, who Were elected | for life with power to appoint their suc- | cessors. These men, McNab, Alford and | | Gould, “from the cow counties” had come | to the city and robbed honest Democrats of their birthright. “I think,"” said he,| “the Democrats of this part of the city will say to Mayor Phelan and his fellows, ‘You can put these men before us, you can't make us vote for them.' The | right to participate in the affairs of the party was all that was asked for. If the action of the State Central Commit- tee was proper and in the interests of the party, then the committee could as well go to Stockton, Sacramento or San Jose and take the same action to force their candidates on the party. “This is despotism,” said Mr. Reynolds. “Let us quit or stand together and defeat them at the polls if they will not be | just.”” This sentiment was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. B. J. Hill, speakin sald the battle for the right of repre- | sentation began with the Boston tea party, and that that theory had been the cardinal principle of the Democratic | party to this day. “It is our privilege as American citizens to say who shall gov- ern us,” said the speaker, “and we can- not permit anybody to deprive us of it, not even Governor Budd, Mayor Phelan o any one else in the party. If they have come to the point where they cannot | trust the men who have horny hands, then we must say to them ‘We cannot trust our destiny as Democrats in the hands of a kid-glove gentry.’ " The meeting adjourned with cheers for the sentiments expressed.

WILL FIGHT WO0OD & CO. STRUGGLE FOR THE TRADE OF THE HARBOR COMMISSION. An Attempt to Torce a Firm to Give Up a Big Contract Taken on a Low Rate. There is another disturbance in lumber circles which threatens to lead to some sensational developments. For some time past there has been a mutual understanding Dbetween both wholesale and retail dealers not to sell Jumber to the Board of Harbor Commis- sioners for less than $14 per 1000 feet. In order to be in line with the policy of those doing business with the board it has been the rule to charge the board more than any one else for materials. During the t month there has, been an unusual tightness in the market, and every effort has been made by firms to dispose of material on hand. The E. K. Wood Lumber Company, although a party to the agreement that has in the past be rried out to the letter, cre- ated a tremendous Tow by jumping over the traces and putting in a bid some days ago to furnish lumber to the Commission- ers during the next six months for $11 50 per 1000 feet, thus breaking the compact and causing the companies in the deal to, metaphorically speaking, foam at the mouth. The contract has not as yet been let out by the Harbor Commissioners, but the disgruntled dealers, knowing that the E. K. Wood Lumber Company will accept the contract as it can make a snug profit by the venture, have set about to punish it_for its rashne With this end view they have planned a scheme by which the deserting com- pany will suffer two-fold. At a meeting which was held the following day a new agreement wa igned by the ‘*‘combine’ to this eff ot to sell to the succs ful bidde vas done in anticipating the Wood Lumber Company’s success, knowing that although the successful bidder a large supply of lumber on hand, it is not enough to supply the Har- bor Commission continually during such demands first-class lum- The State ber, but it well-known fact that when ASS in outside all the Harbor Commissioners get is second-class material. It is presumed that the Wood Lumber Company cannot keep up its cont under such a state of things, and the “combine” figures that it will force the Wood Company to throw up its contract or come into the combina: tion under the old programme. But, if it dare go ahead under the bid of $11'50, it Will be simply impossible to buy lumber at less than $14 per thousand feet, which would mean a grave 10ss. The fight is now on, and those familiar with the situation are on the qui vive as to its outcome. Those of a sgnnlng turn e company will abdicate, while others who are ac- quainted with the firm are willing to bet that it will fight to. the bitter en | THE CASE IS NOW UNDER ADVISEMENT SUIT ON AUGUST WIDBER'S BONDS SUBMITTED.

TEAMS MUST WAKE UP. THE NECESSITY OF PRACTICE IS URGED. Here Is a Chance for the Managers of the League to Prove.That in Truth They Are Magnates. BY JOE CORBETT. The Gilt Edges, from all accounts, will simply walk away with the pennant. At any rate, such is the opinion entertained by the “fans” in Sacramento. From the game these boys have been putting up ever since the consolidation the claim made by their supporters is by no means groundless. Out of all the games played they have met with but one setback, and that at the hands of a team which, since leaving Fresno, has been tearing down the toboggan at a terrific gait. In eleven games they have made but twenty-one errors, an average of a little less than two a game. nomenal, is nevertheless great work and a billion per cent higher than any team that I have seen play at Recreation Park. There is no getting away from the fact that if the rest of the clubs do not wake up and play ball in a very few weeks the Gilt Edges will be beyond recall. Such is the state of affairs at the present mo- ment, and when one is capable of realiz- ing what an important factor daily prac- tice cuts in a league race it \s easily un- derstood why this team will clear out everything before it. *“Practice makes perfect.”” ~ No collection of players, be the great national game unless they re- sort to unremitting practice. ine a team supposed to be of the best making from game they play. This has been a very common occurrence at Recreation Park, and it is gradually becoming tiresome. Last Sunday the San Franciscos defeated the Fresnos. It was a good game, vet each side made four errors. The fact that they did hot make ten each was such a surprise to those present that many im- mediately advanced the opinion that in be full to overflowing. It is very evident that the patrons of the game have been educated to expect this sort of thing, and it is really sur- pristng, - Brrors, of course, belong to aseball. Without them the game would be robbed of a great slice of its glorious uncertainty, and we all know it Is this It does not, however, necessarily follow that from four to ten errors should be a part of every game of ball. of play does not glisten with uncertaint; because it happens in all games, save, Elegant Steel Steamship LIEBES BUILDING, This record, while not phe- they “stars” or not, can expect to play | Just imag- | our to nine errors every | the next game the error column would | uncertainty’ which makes it so popular. | possibly, in one or two instances, such as that of last Sunday, and a number of such mistakes in a single game of ball is outrageous. The fault is very évident— iack of practice.” How can these teams expect to glay ball if they do pot devote some of thelr leisure moments to prac- ticing? The for yellow players cannot be blamed laying. W practice anff wo/k hy should they overtime when the ergy? It is the duty of a manager to see that they do practice. He should make them get out every day and set the ex- an“ale by appearing at the grounds him- self. should resign in favor of some one who will look out for the welfare of the club. Why do the Gilt Edges play such steady ball? Because they practice, not before a game, but every day. When they ap- pear on a diamond and compete for su- premacy it is not a case of chance with them. They do not go after a ball with the fear of missing it, which comes only from lack of practice. They play with a dash that is veautiful to gaze upon, for it is real baseball—National League base- | ball in a good many respects. They bunt, and do so-properly. In a game last week five safe bunts were made in succession. Such playing at the bat will win nine times out of ten. It is the only way to play. How is it that they accomplished such a difficult feat as making five safe bunts In succession? The same old story—practice, practice, practice. They do not waste their time making fahcy one-handed stops and catches, like a good many players I have seen. It is team work with them. What we want to see at Recreation Park for a change is a game of ball, ?Inyed by teams which are not completely demoralized through lack of “‘aj g’eum" for practice. This can only be had by the managers in- sisting on their players practicing every day, and by appearing on the scene to see that their orders are strictly obeyed. In this manner, and no other, can League ind that {s expected. Let these other teams follow in the wake of that great Gilt Edge aggregation. Individually, I cannot say that they are the best batch of players on the coast, | but as a team they certainly are in a class by themselves. have seen them play but three times (rather brief acquaint- ance), yet in those games I have wit- nessed more real base ball than all of the other games combined. It was only re- cently that I learned this team practiced every day and consequently it does not take long to figure out the secret of their success. They are at the top of the lad- der, and will remain there so long as they continue to_adhere, to the methods now emY‘oied I can see no possible way of their being headed in the championship race, unless the other teams daily. In this way, and no other, can the race be made interesting. For the benefit of the game, and those interested in see- ing it again placed upon a solid footing, it would be well for the managers to ‘‘get in the game” and demonstrate their right to be termed magnates. The success of the game rests in their hands. They can easily make both ends meet by giving the “fans” good baseball, and the quicker they realize the importance of daily prac- tice the better for all concerned. The Baltimores practice for two hours every morning whether they have a game in the afternoon or not. They won the cham- ionship for three consecutive vears by ollowing out these three most important rules: Practice; Practice; Practice. 5 Failure to Provide. The case of Percy L.
