BASEBALL, COURSING, RAGING, GOLF, PITCHER SCHMIDT * AGAIN MYSTIFIES THE PONY STABLE Local Nine Shut Out With Three Lonely Swats by the Smiling Stab Artist Old “Tacks” Parrott Turns Twirler Once Again and Makes Good Impression HOSE six straight defeats which the leaders were forced to take last week are rapidly turning into victories this week. Unless the Ponies change their brand they will be buffaloed before Sunday. Even the amiable Tacks Parrott could not stop the stampede of the sub- urbans, and they finished handily—3 to 0. The game was rather a disappointment after the whirlwind of Thursday. The boys seemed to have exhausted their sup- ply of base hits. Walters managed to land twice, and he was about the only man who was there at all. Schmidt went on the slab for the lead- ers, and the wise contingent at once deeded the fray to Oakland before thf trouble even commenced. *‘Schmiddy was just about as good as he always is, and the Ponies could still be swinging at that ball and still there would be no runs. 0ld Tacks Parrott brought out some of Nis old-time curves and shoots and es- sayed to show Oakland a few. Tacks twirled a fairly good game, allowing but four hits. These four, however, all came when a couple of Peter's following were quartered on the sacks, and they came home. The leaders waited until the second spasm before they commenced to do busl- ness with Tacks' offerings. Lohman walked, stole second, and a passed ball, aided also by Walters' single, gave Oak- land her first run. Two more followed during the succeeding rounds on a couple of hits and Shugart’'s bad error of Hurl- burt's grounder. Jimmy Byrnes, an amateur of some note, took McHale's place behind the bat the fifth and caught a creditable game. €“has been signed by Harris and looks like & good man. The score: SAN FRANCISCO. AB.

OLYMPIG CLUB WILL ENTERTHI Athletic Exhibition to Be Given To-Night at Pawilion. To-night will end the wonderful {llumin- ations prepared in honor of the visiting Knights of Pythias. The arrangement of the display of lights and the splendid re- suit obtained have created the greatest of interest and won for the city of San Francisco the name of being the most beautifully lighted place in the world dur- ing the celebration. The executive committee spared no ex- pense that this result might be obtained, and as a consequence there yet remains a large sum of money to be raised. Many of the merchants have come forward with liberal donations during the past few days, but more money is required to meet outstanding obligations. The Olympic Club, in which, all San Francisco takes pride, will give an athletic exhibition at Mechanics’ Pavilion to-night, the entire proceeds of which will go to the Pythian celebration fund. The fact that the Olym- pic Club is to have charge of the enter- tainment is a guarantee that it will be a SUfhe most attractive of the events on the lengthy programme will be furnished by James J.

E. Quaries Confildent Spooner Will Be Re-elected. .Three United States Senators are at present visiting the city. They are Jo- seph E. Quarles of Milwaukee, Wis., P. J. McCumber of North Dakota and W. J. Deboe of Marion, Ky. They are all touring the coast for pleasure and are highly delighted with what they have seen of California thus far. Senator W. J. Deboe is at the Occiden- tal and will spend several days in the city, He is a Republican and his term expires on March 4, 1%3. His successor bas already \been elected. He is J. B. McCreary, and a Democrat. Senator De- boe says that the Cuban reciprocity bili fostered by President Roosevelt will be ratified by Congress. He declares that Kentucky 1s a close State in politics at the present time and that the Republican and Democratic parties are about even- ly divided. He thinks that the Goebel law is a hindrance to the Republican party control in his State and says that the refusal of the executive head of In- diana to sign the extradition papers of Governor Taylor of Kentucky, who was charged with having been an accomplice in the assassination of Goebel, was a Justifiable act. ‘The Senator explained that in his opin- fon Taylor would not have recelved a fair trial if the case had been tried at Frankfort, the capital of the State. He says that Goebel was disliked as much by Democrats as by Republicans and the assassination of the man could not be lald at the door of the latter party. Goe- bel had killed Geperal Sanford, an ex- Confederate officer, in a duel and the feeling was also very bitter against him or_that account. Senator Quarles is at the Palace. He was elected Senator for Wisconsin in 1889. He is a Republican and succeeded John L. Mitchell, a Democrat. He says that the Republican party in his State is split into two factions—the followers of Gover- ror La Follette, who wish to elect him Senator, and others who wish to see Sen- ator Spooner re-elected. He thinks that the latter will again be re-elected. In discussing the political situation further Senator Quarles says that the Democrats are as badly split up in Wisconsin as the Republicans. wu,szmsuaa Colo., Aug. 22.—The forest fires on the Green Horn range, which had de- stroyed much valuable timber, have been ex- tinguished by rain.

It is a republic with which our own great republic must ever be closely knit by the ties of common interests and com- mon_aspirations. Cuba must always be peculiarly related to us in international politics. She must in international af- fairs be to a_degree a part of our politi- cal system. In return she must have pe- culiar relations with us economically. She must be, in a sense, part of our economic system. We expect her to accept a polit- ical attitude toward us which we think wisest both for her and us. In return we must be prepared to put her in an eco- nomic position as regards our tariff sys- tem, which will give her some measure of the prosperity which we enjoy. We cannot, in my judgment, avold taking this attitude if we are to persevere in the course which we have outlined for our- selves as a nation during the past four years; and therefore I believe that it is only a matter of time—and I trust only a matter of a very short time—before we Entgr into reciprocal trade relations with ‘uba.

WORK IN PHILIPPINES. So much for what has been done in the Oc- cident. In the Orient the labor was more dif- ficult. It is rare indeed that a great work, a work supremely worth doing, can be done save at the cost not only of labor and toll, but of much puzzling worry during the time of the performance. Normally the nation that achieves greatness, like the individual who achieves greatness, can do so only at the cost of anxiety and bewilderment and heart-wearing _effort. Timid people, people scant of faith and hope, and good people who are not accustomed to the roughness of the life of effort—are almost sure to be disheartened and dismayed by the work and the worry, and overmuch cast down by the shortcomings, actual or seeming, which in real life always accompany the first stages even of ‘what eventually turn out to be the mogt bril- liant victories. All this is true of what has happened during the last four years in the Philippine Islands. The Spanish war itself was an easy task, but it left us certaln other tasks which were much more difficult. One 9 these tasks was that of dealing with the Philippines. The easy thin, to do—the thing which appealed not only lazy and selfish men, but to very many good men whose thought did not drive them down to the root of things—was to leave the islands. Had we done this, a period of wild chaos would have supervened and then some stronger power would have stepped In and seized the islands and have taken up the task which we in such a case would have flinched from performing. A less easy but infinitely more absurd course would have been to leave the islands ourselves, and at the same time to assert that we would not permit any one else to interfere with them. This particular course would have combined all the possible disadvantages of _every other course which was advocated. It would have placed us in a humiliating position because when the actual test came it would have been quite out of the question for us, after some striking deed of savagery had occurred in the islands, to stand by and prevent the re-entry of civilization into them; while the mere fact of our having threatened thus to guarantee the lo- cal tryants and wrongdoers against outside in- terference by ourselves or others, would have put & premium upon every speclgs of tyranny and anarchy within the isiands. HARD TASK OF ARMY. Finally there was the course which we adopted—not an easy course, but one fraught with danger and difficulty, as is generally the case in this world when some great feat is to be accomplished as an incideht to working out natlonal destiny. We made up our minds to stay in the islands, to put down violence, to establish peace and order, and then to Intro- duce a just and wise civil rule, accompanied by a measure cf self-government which should increase as ravldly as the islanders showed themselves fit for it. Well, it was certainly a formidable task, but think of the marvel- ously successful way In which it has been accomplished. The first and vitally important feat was the establishment of the supremacy of the Ameri- can flag, and this had to be done by the ef- forts of those gallant fellow Americans of ours to whom 50 great a debt {8 due—the of- ficers and enlisted men of the United States army, regulars and volunteers alike. In a succession of campalgns, carried on in un- known tropic jungles, against an elusive and treacherous foe vastly outnumbering them, un- der the most adverse conditions of climate, weather and country, our troops completely broke the power of the insurgents, smashed their armies and harried the broken robber bands into submission. In its latter stages the war against our rule sank into mere brig- apdage, and what our troops had to do was to hunt down the parties of ladrones. It was not a task which Jt was humanely possible to ac- complish in a month or a year, but month by month, year by year, with unwearied and pa- tlent resolution, our’ army in the Philippines did the task which it found ready to hand until the last vestige of organized insurrection was stamped out. I do not refer to the Morcs, with whom we have exercised the utmost for- bearance, but who may force us to ise them if they persist in- attacking our troops. Among the Filipinos proper, however, peace has come. Doubtless here and there sporadic outbreaks of brigandage will occur from time to time, but organized warfare against the American flag _has ceased and there is no reason to apprehend its recurrence. Our army in the islands has been reduced until it s nct a fourth of what it was at the time the out- break was at lts helght. SUCCESS IS WO Step by step as our army conquered, the rule of the military was supplanted by the rule of the civil authorities—the soldier” was succeeded by the civilian magistrates. The utmost care has been exercised in choosing the best type of Americans for the high civil posi- tions and the actual work of administration has been done so0 far as possible by native Filipino_officials serving under these Ameri- cans. The success of the effort has been won- derful. Never has this country had a more upright or an abler body of public representa- tives than Governor Taft, Vice Governor Wright and their associates and subordinates in the Philippines. It is a very dffficult matter prac- tically to apply the principles of an orderly free government to an Oriental people strug- gling upward out of barbarism and subjection. It is a task requiring infinite firmness, tlence, broad-mindedness, PRESIDENT RODSEVELT REVIEWS THE PROGRESS OF NATION I 3 qualities and the courftless other necessaries have been found in the civil and military of- flclals Who have been sent over to administer the islands. It was, of course, inevitable that there should be occasional failures, but it is astonishing how few these have been. Here and there the civil government which had been established in a ‘given district had to be tem- porarily withdrawn, because of some outbreak, but at last, on the Fourth of July that has just passed—on the 126th anniversary of our independence—it was possible at the same time for me to declare amnesty throughout the islands and definitely to establish civil rule over all of them, excepting the country of the Mohammedan Moros, where the conditions were wholly different. Each inhabitant of the Phil- ippines is now guaranteed his civil and re- ligious rights, his rights to life, personal lib- erty and the pursuit of happiness, subject only to not infringing on the rights of others. It is worth noting that already the Philippine peo- ple have received a greater share of self-gov- ernment, that they have more to say as to how they shall be governed, than is the case with any people in the Orient which is under European rule. Nor is this all. Congress has, with far-seeing wisdom, heartily supported all that has been done by the executive. Wise laws for the government of the Philippines have been placed upon the statute books, and under those laws provision is made for the introduction into the Philippines of representa. tive government with only the delay necessary to allow for the establishment of definite peace for the taking of a census and the settling down of the country. In short we are gov. erning the Filipinos primarily in their interest and for their very great benefit. And we have acted In practical fashion—not' trying to lay down rules as to what should be done in the remote and uncertain future, but turning our attention to the instant need of thousands ang me;tlng that need in the fullest and amplest way. MEANS MUCH TO ALL. It would be hard to say whether we owe most to our military or our civil representatives In the Philippines. “The soldiers have shown splen- did gallantry in the fleld and they have done no less admirable work in preparing the prov inces for civil government. The civil authori- tles have shown the utmost wisdom in doing & very difficult and very important work of vast extent. It would be hard to find in modern t:mes a better example of successful construc- tive statesmanship. Finally, in the Philippines, as in Cuba, the instances of wrongdoing among either our civil or military representatives have bees astonishingly few and punishment hag been meted out With even-handed justice to all offenders. Nor should it be forgotten that while we have thus acted in the interest of the island- ers themselves, We have also helped our own people. Our interests'are as great in the Pa- cific as in the Atlantic. The welfare of Call- fornia, Oregon and Washington is as vital to the nation as the welfare of New England, New York and the South Atlantic States. The awakening of the Orient means very much to all the nations of Christendom, com- mercially no less than politically—and it would be short-sighted statesmanship on our part to refuse to take the necessary steps for secur- ing a proper share to our people of this com- mercial future. The possession of the Philip- pines has helped us, as the securing of the open door in Ching has helped us. Already the Government has en the necessary steps to provide for the-laying of a Pacific cable under conditions which safe absolutely the in- terests of the American public.

Frank Slaker, the great Chicago-Stan- ford fullback, was chosen for: assistant coach during the early part of the sum- mer, and Stuart Cotton, Jules Franken- heimer, Charley Fickert and “Tub” Wil- son have been considered possible candi- dates for the position of head coach. None of these men, however, has been able to make the necessary arrangements for spending a football season at‘the uni- versity, so the matter still remains in statu quo. The big game will in all probability be played in San Francisco, as usual, this year. The- Sixteenth and Folsom streets §rounds are not avallable, but Managers ecoto of California and Edwards of Stanford are considering a proposition made them by ODave Brown, Stanford '97, to play -the game at Sixteenth and Brannan streets. Brown wants the man- agers to sign a lease of the grounds for six years. The onlg objection to this plan” seems to be the necessity of ob- taining the consent of the Supervisors to the closing of a street near the proposed site. The cost of the erection of bleach- ers on' those grounds will be about $6000. The game will be played during the first week of November. In regard to football material for the coming season it is almost too early to make any definite predictions. Captain- elect Billy Traeger, Raitt, Cooper and Hill will not return to_the university, so a provisional line-up of the team may be made something as follows: Center, Cap- tain Lee; guards, Hauverman and Barn- hisel; tackles, McFadden and Roosevelt; ends, Preston and Clark; quarterback, Bansbach; fullback, McGilvray. The po- sitions of halfbacks are sure to be closely contested, as there are a lot of fasi, heady men in the fleld. Paul Tarpey, Dole, Bartell and a freshman from San- ta Clara College named McGee are per- haps the most promising candidates. FOOTBALL AT BERKELEY. BERKELEY, Aug.~ 22.—When head coach James Whipple calls the first meet- ing of football men on Monday next the football season at the University of Cali- fornia will be formally opened.” On Sep- tember 1 the aspirants for gridiron hon- ors will first appear on the fleld and from that time on, durlng the two scant months which remain before the big game, the process of crystallizing the ma- terial into a team will be carried out. Of last year’s ‘“pony team’” which wrested a hard victory from the wear- ers of the cardinal there remains a suffi. ciently large nucleus of seasoned veterans to insure Berkeley having a strong team this' season. The fact that of all the po- sitions on the team four only remain open at the beginning of this season is encouraging to coach and trainer. The most severe loss to the Berkeley eleven is that of Womble, captain of last year’'s team, who, though not yet grad- uated from college, is disqualified from playing owing to the fact that he has glayed out the limit of four seasons set Y the intercollegiate agreement. He has been engaged -as assistant coach and is expected to do much toward developing men to flll vacancies at end. Besides the former captain, Hansen at right tackle, Duden at fullback and Starr at left end have not returned to play the game this year. Johnny More, who is a strong punter and an excellent man to advance the ball in a scattered fleld, and who alternated at quarter with Hud- son in last year'’s game, may be moved back to fill the vacancy at fullback. His light weight is against him, however, in tnis position. For the position of right half, left va- cant by Womble, ‘“Locomotive” Smith, the tried veteran of three seasons, loom: up as a strong possibility. After a year’s absence from the university, Smith has returned to graduate and has not defi- nitely announced whether or not he will don the moleskin this year on account of th‘?vfi&‘mfings of htls studies. a ludson at quarter to fill the place which More held last yegr, the line would be left with three vacancies, both ends and the right tackle. For the latter po- sition there are two substitute guards who showed up well last season—Stroud, who got in Overall's place in the big game, and Hendricks. e ends are prac- tically open. The material which enters with the freshman class can only be determined after the grflling process which is under- gone in the formation of the freshman eleven. D. F. Barry of the Boston School of Technology comes with a good record made on his class team in that institu- tion. Charles Volz and Framk Solinsky of Berkeley High School had repuuélons for gritty playi; on their team. Tom Belmont school there comes Caude Gil- lis. Lindsey and Willlams are two heavy men who come from San Diego, Besides the coaching of Whipple and Womble, the varsity will receive instruc- tion at the hands of many old graduate players. Dr. Simpson, coach of last year ?tem Percy Hall, captain in ’'9; Fred Athearn, and “Pete” Kaarsburg, on the same team, have all promised to come back during the training season.
