PICKERING Agent, Anah STARS OF THE BUSHER BUNCH MEN WHO STARTED BASEBALL CAREERS HERE Walter Johnson Leads as the Coming Pitcher—Easterly Catches on at Cleveland — Mott With Happy Hogan — Sighs of a Fan By the Filligree Fan. "Play Ball" has sounded throughout the land. The umpire has donned his mask and breast protector and once more he is "king." The leather lunged fan is given the opportunity to give vent to his pent-up emotions, while, we poor fans who are not so fortunate must satisfy ourselves by scanning the pages of the latest baseball news. Naturally, our minds revert to the good old days when the Anaheim Oil Well team was at its best and we were given an opportunity to see real baseball on our local diamond, played, as the last few years has developed, by real ball players. The greatest ball player developed on the local diamond is, of course, Walter Johnson. Manager Cantillon of the Washington team, speaking of Walter a few days ago, remarked, "If Walter shows as much improvement this year as he has in former ones, he will be the greatest pitcher in the business this season, and by next season the greatest pitcher the world has ever had." Next in line is Theodore (Ted) Easterly. Ted is third catcher for the Cleveland team. Assistant Manager McGuire is much impressed with Easterly's hitting and throwing, and Manager Lajoie says, "Although my find (Easterly) is a small man he Next in line is Theodore (Ted) Easterly. Ted is third catcher for the Cleveland team. Assistant Manager McGuire is much impressed with Easterly's hitting and throwing, and Manager Lajole says, "Although my find (Easterly) is a small man he catches Addie Joss and Cy Young with perfect ease." Our other catcher, Deacon LeBrand, is catching for Omaha. A few days ago the Washington and the Omahas lined up for a game. Johnson pitched for Washington and LeBrand caught for Omaha. LeBrand was Walter's first catcher. One of the features of this game was the batting of LeBrand—two two-baggers and a single. I can't help but wonder if Walter didn't let up a little "just for old-time's sake." Guy Meats is in the Seattle lineup, but will not play this season. Guy caught Johnson during the winter season, both playing on the Santa Ana team. Guy has developed into quite a backstop, his pegging to second is faultless and his hitting is good. Jack Burnett has signed up with Spokane, Washington, as shortstop. These teams were not reported in their workouts, so I have no line on Jack's work this season. His last year's work was quite satisfactory. His hitting and base running being the features of many games played in the northwest last season. A. C. Mott is playing this season with Happy Hogan's Vernon team. Clare Head and Billie Elwell are playing in Idaho with the Boise City team.

FRANK HUMPHREYS DEAD Frank Humphreys, formerly of Santa Ana, died on Sunday at 12 o'clock at his home at 318 West Seventeenth street, Los Angeles, after an illness of a week of pneumonia. He was well known in Orange county, having lived at Santa Ana from 1875 to 1888. He was the son of Judge Charles Humphreys, a pioneer justice of the peace of Santa Ana, and of Cordelia P. Humphreys. In 1888 he went to Los Angeles and became a traveling salesman for M. A. Newmark & Co., where he remained until 1900, when, with Dodo Wiebers, E. J. Levy and Joseph Jonas he organized the Standard Woodenware Co., of which company Mr. Humphreys was president. As a traveling man he covered Southern California and parts of Arizona, and everywhere he was popular as a business man and friend. He leaves a widow and one son, George H. Humphreys, and a sister Miss Jane Humphreys in Los Angeles, a niece Miss Orabel Chilton of Santa Ana, and a nephew Dr. Chilton of Fullerton.

RAILROAD'S ARBITRARY CHARGE Making Examples of Imposing all the Traffic Will Bear A writer in Collier's gives some talking instances of the manner in which the railroads in this country use their power to tax consumers by the proposition of arbitrary and unreasonable charges, and practice the grossest discrimination against localities not in position to help themselves through competition. The article has particu-lation to the Pacific Coast, and early outlines the origin and rise of Harriman monopoly and control in California. Be it understood that this means the rule of the Standard Oil cup of capitalists, of which Harriman is visible representative. Attention is called to the fact that the government has never enforced the final provisions of the Interstate Commerce and Sherman acts, forbidding subdivisions to fix railroad tariffs, and that the railroads have frequently added rates so as enormously to increase their net profits. To do this successfully control of harbors was helpful, and it was accomplished in California by the Southern Pacific's technical control of the harbor boards, though which it obtains waterfront taxes for itself and subsidiary corporations. It is a fact that this railroad control is almost absolute on the whole California coast. At San Pedro, the port of Los Angeles, the govern-ment has spent great sums of money, the Southern Pacific rules the harbor so as to establish a complete mod-ify of the waterfront and charge tarionate rates. The control of California harbors is led by the Southern Pacific to dis-rage water competition, whether way of Panama or The Horn. It enabled the railroad to advance island freight rates repeatedly, un-onsome instances they are more TIA JUANA MONTE CARLO Racecourse and Clubhouse to Be Built Across the Line President Diaz has signed the concession, and all arrangements have been completed for the building of the much-talked-of racetrack at Tia Juana, across the Mexican border from San Diego, where plungers and others, slipping away from California can "bet their heads off." The Tia Juana resort will be more than a racetrack. It will be a sort of Monte Carlo, with unlimited faro, roulette and other games, and also a place at which there will be prize fights and all the other things from A to Z which will go to build up a new Mexican sporting industry. Harry Brolaski, who is in the City of Mexico, has wized that President Diaz has signed the exclusive concession of racetrack privileges in Lower California granted the syndicate composed of W. C. Creveling, Harry Brolaski, Earl Low and Isador Cohn, all of Los Angeles. Messrs. Salmons and Reynolds are agents of the syndicate at San Diego. Plans for the new Tia Juana race track have been completed and work will begin within two weeks. The syndicate has secured 289 acres of land just over the line, north of the Tia Juana river, and the agents announce that $250,000 will be spent upon the project. Of this tract, 185 acres will be used in building the race track and the remainder will be laid out as a townsite. The new town, which will be supported by the racetrack and other sporting industries, will probably be called Tijuana to prevent confusion and unnecessary trips across the river to Tia Juana. APOLLO CLUB ANNIVERSARY Friends Entertained at Musicale on Friday Afternoon The Apollo club celebrated the third anniversary of its organization at Odd Fellows' hall on Friday afternoon by a musical entertainment at which more than a hundred guests were present. At the annual meeting last month Miss Sophie Rimpau was elected president and Mrs. Crone secretary. This popular musical organization now numbers 21 members of whom all are finished musicians. At the monthly meetings excellent programs are rendered by the members, but at their annual anniversary meeting it is the custom to engage musicians from abroad. The program presented by Miss Clark, Miss Werner and Miss Murry of Los Angeles was excellent and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. Miss Clark possesses a very sweet and clear voice which shows excellent training, and the whistling of Miss Murry, particularly her imitation of the songs of birds, was very good. Miss Werner's recitations with piano accompaniment were received. The Spokane merchant wanted to ship carloads of linoleum from Chicago to Spokane. The railroad rate to Spokane was the terminal rate from Chicago to Seattle, plus the local rate to Spokane. The linoleum had been through Spokane to get to Seattle. The rate being exorbitant, the merchant purchased his linolium Liverpool, to which point it had finally been shipped from the manuring plant near Chicago. He used it from Liverpool through the canal to Seattle, paying the imputy and the local freight rate Seattle to Spokane, and beat the load rate from Chicago to Spokane considerable discount. The proprietor of a San Francisco works shipped on the same day carloads of machinery of the same and bulk. One went to Goldfield,ance of about 300 miles from Sanisco, and the other went to Josburg, South Africa. Both carwent over the same road to Reno,la. The Goldfield shipment goeth and the other keeping on its New York, whence it was led by water to an English port,errred to another vessel bound for Colony, South Africa, and from Colony was shipped 300 miles by Johannesburg. The freight on nounce that $250,000 will be spent upon the project. Of this tract, 185 acres will be used in building the race track and the remainder will be laid out as a townsite. The new town, which will be supported by the racetrack and other sporting industries, will probably be called Tijuana to prevent confusion and unnecessary trips across the river to Tia Juana. A $50,000 club house is to be built where faro, roulette and other games will be played. A grand stand which will accommodate 10,000 people will be erected. The track will cost $75,-000. Three hundred and fifty stalls will be built to accommodate horses and more will be added when needed. Racing is to commence in the fall and will last five months. A prize fight arena will be built in such a way that it can be used for bull fighting if at any time it is desired to vary the program with an old-time Spanish spectacle. and bulk. One went to Goldfield, ance of about 300 miles from San isco, and the other went to Joesburg, South Africa. Both carwent over the same road to Reno, ia. The Goldfield shipment gouth and the other keeping on its to New York, whence it was ed by water to an English port, ferred to another vessel bound for Colony, South Africa, and from Colony was shipped 300 miles by Johannesburg. The freight on carload from San Francisco to Josburg was 25 percent less than weight rate on the carload from francisco to Goldfield." Is any wonder that Nevada progains such treatment from the orn Pacific, or that Spokane made termined fight for relief? Concluding his remarkable article Allier's writer declares the Pannal will be useless to California, she can open up her harbors to competition, which best may be through the construction of mudocks, as Los Angeles aims to San Pedro. And there is painful in this observation: may be argued that the state has legal right to condemn harbor site by eminent domain, but the lands have the same right, and the orn Pacific is as powerful politicism in the Pacific Coast as it is complyly. It is the real government corrnia." oad rule, however, is not going are forever in California.
