Pace, {no humiliating a player who dare imagine | both in the attendance and the article of ball being played is a fact. In conjunc- | tion with this much-sought improvement, | comes the reality that the game is slowly, vet surely, catching on with a vengeance; and it would not surprise many if the | grand old days, when the Haight Street | Park flourished, would soon be repeated | at Recreation grounds. Many things indicate such a possibility, | and among them is the very material | | point that, while the crowds improve, the enthusiam becomes intense. ~When a | collection of baseball patrons stand up | and howl for this thing and that thing; | when they become so interested as to | hoot, hiss and humiliate a player, simply | because he drops his bat when an umpire calls a poor strike; these little occurrences carry much mors weight than the stmple | assurance of some bombastic promoter. I am of the opinfon that the games at Recreation Park are attracting the atten- | tion of many, among them those who sald, when the contests were transferred from Central Park to their present loca- tion, that they would never go £o far to see @ game. Still, I have seen a large number of those who so rashly committed themselves perched in nd-stand seats, | and I never heard such rooting and en- thusfasm fince the Baltimores lost the pennant asi1 did on Saturday and Sunday at Recreation Park. ‘When spectators at a ball game for- get that they are human and howl them- | selves into a frenzy, it is high time to ao- quaint one’s self with the news that base- ball is itself once again on the coast. This, surely, is a fact. As I mentioned, it is not impossible to discover an empty seat during the time set aside for games, but they are scarce when compared with the nakedness of some portions of the stands and bleachers as seen without the assistance of opera glasses but a month a £0. At this same period I have sat through a game, and owing to the lack of inter- est and- enthusfasm- on the part of glayem and fanatics my task seemed, in- eed, a tedlous one. | There is no enjoyment to be derived | from a game of baseball when those who | patronize it, together with those who par- | ticipate in’ the contest, entertaln that wearied feeling of ‘‘don’t care a snap who wins.” It was this style a month or so B'fo' There was no howling for a team to win; himself havin, There was, in game itself that aseball. Go to Reereation Park on a Saturday or Sunday now, however. Why, they simply stand up and shriek! - Sitting down when a play 18 close is out of the question en- tirely, Even the players have done away with that indifferent spirit. You can see them now out on the coaching line telliny their troubles to any one foolish enougi to listen; and if the opposition turns a deaf ear to this compliment it is not un- usual or even out of place for them to go through antics in most cases not becom- mih ut interesting. other thing that convinces me of the hold our great national game is securing on the populace of this city is the manner in which Mr. Donovan was treated last Sunday In the game between the Athletics and Oaklands. Mr. Donovan, it seems, went to bat, and before he unbosome himself of the pleasing reveries he was in- dulging in, and which, I have no doubt, pertained o the base hit he .8 accustomed to getting, two -strikes were called on him by Umpire Smith. After hearing the second strike called the chances of secur- ing a base hit and thereby receiving the applause attending such a feat became rather slim, and in consequence Mr, Dono- van dropped his bat, his visage bearing that disgusted look so common with an earnest player, and for his pains Umpire Smith reprimanded him." A second later the spectators expressed their displeasure at his action, and they did so in a manner not to be forgotten. Hisses, hoots and groans such as are hurled at the villain uring a melodrama &t Morosco's per- meated the atmosphere, and Donovan was but thirty feet away. This outburst real- ly startled me, and It was this display on the part of those patrons present that suggested the idea that the game was being appreciated at last. : And so it is. The games are full of life and are being played acceptably. The contests on Saturday and Sunday, while not perfect, contained the right spirit. This in itself pleases the publie, for I have sald on a former occasion that baseball Eatronn delight in seeing a game where oth sides manifest an interest in the re- sult. This seems to have been the pro- gramme of late, if the games of Saturday and Sunday are any criterion, and I have reason to believe that they are. I have been told by many who a month ago were dissatisfled that the games of the past month have been perior in every par- any right in the fleld. nothing outside of the ad the appearance of ticular to those of days past. The poor showi of the Athletics on Saturday and Sunday in a measure dis- credits these reports of a great change, but, as I said before, while these two games were not _perfect there were, nev- ertheless, dash and lively action visible during the contests. This alone is an {mprovement quite worthy of commenda- tion. When the players get out on the lines and coach the people themselves will fol- low with their harangues in the stands, and in consequence a general interest in the outcome of the game is engendered. Let that dashing, out-to-win spirit pre- vail during all the games from now to the end. ithout it a contest is dead— devoid of‘life and excitement—and neces- sarily displeasing to all who patronize the games with the intention of spending a few happy moments.

THREATENED EXCITING TIMES IN THE PO- LICE COMMISSION. ‘Was Told That if He Took the Stand Against His Companion He Would Be Killed. . A sensation was created at the meet- ing of the Police Commissioners last night when Officer Kennedy . took the stand and testified that Patrolman Wil- kinson had threatened to kill him it he gave evidence against the men who deserted Lieutenant Burke when he was shot and killed by Theodore Park Haynes. Kennedy is one of the policemen who is accused of cowardice in allowing Burke to be shot down in cold blood. He testified that he and Wilkinson were in- formed that there was trouble at Haynes’ cabin. They went to the place and were met by the murderous tinker. He was armed with two revolvers, one of waich he held in his right hand. As Kennedy approached him Haynes pointed a re- vofiler and ordered him away un- der penalty of being made a subject for the Coroner. Xenn drew his revolver, but not wanting to shoot Haynes he re- treated several paces. “Could you have shot him?” inquired Chief Lees, evidently for the purpose of testing the marksmanship of the officer. “I could have riddled him with bullets,” replied the witness, “but I was not anx- jous to have his blood on my hands. I retreated along with the other officers. Burke then ap%eared on the scene and was shot down by the infuriated tinker.” Seeing his superior officer fall Kenne- dy emptied his revolver at Haynes, and went for more ammunition. Meeting a man named Waters, who had a revolver in his hand, Kennedy recognized it as be- longing to Wilkinson, and taking it from him continued firing at Haynes. At this juncture Wilkinson, who was pale and trembling, begged the witness to empty it, as he feared that somebody might examine it. “For 's sake, fire it off!” he ex- claimed. “Captain Gillen might come along and finding a loaded cartridge in the gun might accuse me of cowardice.” “During the examination in the Police Court,” continued the witness, ‘“Wilkin- son ac¢costed me while I was standing In the ridor of the City Hall, and in a threatening manner sald he would kill anybody who testified against him. “The following day Wwe met in the stables where we keep our horses, and, taking out his revolver, proceeded to wipe the dust off it with a handkerchief. “+] am determined to kill the man who testifies against me,” he remarked, tak ing a firm hold on his revolver and bran- dishing it in the air, Kennedy assured him that he would tell the truth before the Commissioners, no matter what it cost. “Then look out for yourself,” threaten- ingly remarked Wilkinson. “The man who takes the bread and butter out of the mouths of my wife and children must ) T pald mo attention to his threats” conttnued the witness, “‘until several of my friends told me that he would shoot me if I told the truth before the Com- missioners. At the Ocean View station some time ago he told a fellow-officer that if I took the stand against him he would kill me. Evidently for the purpose of creating trouble between myself and Captain Glllen, Wilkinson a short time ago informed him that I had referred to him as a I did not use the language attributed to me, and so con- vinced Captain Gillen. I was told that Wilkinson, Marlowe and Merchant were holding secret meetings for the purpose of agreelng on the testimony they wers to give, and incidentally to give me the worst of it. “They vainly endeavored to have me attend their meetings, but as I was deter- mined to tell the truth, no matter what it cost, they frequently referred to me as a coward and a cur. I admit that I ran away after my ammunition was ex- hausted. BSo did the others. Wilkinson, after the first shot was fired, excitedly exclaiméd: “‘Oh, my God; we will all be killed.” " Kennedy further said that he had vis- ited the éeventeenth street station with the intention of resigning a short time after the shooting, as he believed that the other officers were bent on combining ggainst him in the hope of forcing him out of the department in order that he might not testify against them. ennedy told his story in a straightfor- ward manner, and it was listened to with rapt attention by the Commissioners.

CHINESE STILL SEARIG I Another Letter Seized by Inspectors. COOLIE SMUGGLERS AT WORK OFFICIALS AROUSED BY THE CALL EXPOSURES. Heretofore the Bureau System Had Been Lax to the Point of Absolute Crim- inality. Chinese Bureau Inspector Latham selzed last Tuesday a .letter in Chinese characters, which, ‘like the letter found recently by Inspector Lynch, reveals the meéthods by which the coolie brokers and thelr hired tools work to insure the land- ing of Chinese laborers in defiance of the laws of the United States. Up to the time of The Call's recent ex- posure of the lax system under which the bureau was conducted access to Chinese on board the steamers at the Malil dock was easy. In fact, there was practically no hindrance. Agents of the Highbind- ers’ Bureau in Chinatown visited the im- migrants without difficulty and coached them as to the stories which they were to tell when they should come before the Federal Bureau. After The Call published the letter of Chan Tal Tsung, in which he advised an immigrant that the transcript of testi- mony given by him to the inspectors would is handed to his brokers by some white man, the Federal officlals aroused from their lethargy and Customs Sur- veyor Spear issued an order that no per- son should be allowed to visit the immi- ants without an order countersigned by im. The following letter was wHttQfil by a Chinese on one of the steamers, the Low Kow mentioned being an immigrant on the same steamer: Dear Brother: Sit Yow: The things you sent for Low Kow to Low Kow and myself were all claimed and obtained by the passen- gers on_the boat that came in just before: our own. Upon being told about this by certain other passengers we made dilfgent inquiries to ascertain who the gullty parties were, but all in vain. We did not care about the provisions.

A Restoration to the Old Tariff on Bags Will Soon Be Made. For some time past a freight-rate. war on bags has been engaging the attention of the freight traffic officials of the vari- ous railroads. A compromise and settle- ment have been effected and the reductfons which have been made will be swept aside. The present rate of 52.2 cents from San Francisco to Denver and Colorado points will be advanced to 6 cents. From New Orleans the rate will be 6) cents. The new rates will be of great benefit to San Fran- cisco shippers, as the difference in rates from New Orleans to Denver and from this city to that point will be 5 cents upon the restoration to the former tariff, whils it 13 now 30 cents in favor of the New Or- leans shipper. —————————— Continental Republican League.

Little things frequently have great power, as is seen in a few small doses of the famous Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, however, has an en- tirely different effect from the needle in this notice. The Bitters make nervous, weak and sickly persons strong and well again. They are also good for dyspepsia and constipation. Open stake—M. Nealon’s Van Clole vs. John Terlin's Forget-Me-Not: * O.
