SAN FRANCISCO. April 5. (Special.)
The fieala maintained their winning
gait today and gave the Beavers a
double trimming on the Oakland
grounds and In this city. Though Port,
irnd played good baseball on both oc
casions, hard luck counted against the
team.
More than 10.000 people saw the af
ternoon struggle. Groom allowed the
Pala only three hit... while Henley was
slammed for 11. The blow-off came In
the eighth Inning. Etola waa passed
and La. L,onge sacrificed. Henley beat
nut an Infield lilt) sending Esoli to
third. Groom executed a wild pitch
and the run was scored, tying up the
result. Henley took third on HHde
biand's out. and Piper walked. He
cleverly drew the throw to fcond and
stalled. Casey made a bad return peg
to the plate, and Henley registered the
winning run.
The Beavers should have scored half
a dozen runs, but bad work on the
bases held them down to a lone tally.
Casey rapped out three doubles and
Raftery two.
ftloonifleld started In to pitch the
morning game, but after walking one
man, hitting one and making a wild
pitch, he was chased and Lakaft suc
ceeded him. The southpaw wa easy
for the Peals, with men on bases, while
Willis, who opposed him, pitched, a
grand game. The scores:

NEW YORK. April 5. A reactionary

the future from the year's yield. The
condition in which the planted wheat haa
come through the Winter is considered
hopeful.
pinion on the financial situation was
shaped by the long drawn out struggle to
adjust the difficulties confronting the Erie
Railroad. The discount interest price of
the maturing Erie notes shows the excels
of the difficulties of the company in
providing for floating indebtedness. Pros
pects for the absorption of new issues of
securities are poor from the indication
furnished by this showing. The same
conditions are reported in foreign financial
centers. Foreign exchange In New York
has moved in a way to suggest a coming
outgo of gold. The course of the United
States Government revenue makes it
evident also that large further with
drawals of Government deposits from the
hanks are imminent. The motiey market
itself is quite undisturbed by these pros
pective requirements but the tranquil
money market fails to afford any stimu
lation for the investment demand either
for existing Issues or for proposed new
capital issues. ,
FROM
GIANTS
East Portland Leaguers Take
Sunday Game.
FINAL SCORE IS 5 TO 2
Play Is Krratlc at Times, bnt Some
Brilliant 'Work Is Shown.
Luck Keeps Winners
From Bigger Score.
Hal Pomeroy's Eaat Portland team of
Trl-Clty League players won a rather
erratic, but at times brilliantly played
game of baseball yesterday afternoon
from Eddie Davey's Athenian Giants,
which latter team comprised talent of
past, present and future prominence.
The contest was waged on the Vaughn
street grounds, and the players stole a
march on old Jupe Pluviua by getting
in nine innings in spite of the threat
ening clouiibanks hovering over the
ball park. The final score of the game
was 5 to 2, and luck alone seemed to
be against the East Side team piling
up a greater score, for the opposing
team made nine errors.
Joe Stutt, who had been heralded as
the captain-manager of the Athenian
outfit, became Rfflicted with coldness
of the pedal extremities, and evidently
fearing that Ills complexion would suf
fer if exposed to the elements, re
mained away from the scene of a-ction.
The absence of the good-looking one
necessitated the impressing of Eddie
Davey Into action as manager pro tern.,
and he hastily organised a team, some
of the players of which were minus
uniforms. But under his guidance, they
gave the leaguers a rattling good run
for their, money.
Gardner Puizles Leaguers.
Pitcher "Bugs" Gardner, . of 1 the
Athenian outfit, had all kinds of mysti
flers up his sleeves, and with the ex
ception of the sixth inning, was a Chi
nese puszle to the "Triple T" outfit.
For five Innings. Pomeroy's men failed
to connect for a aft hit, an., the faith
ful fans assembled were about to add
two more t'a to the East Plders' motto
by making their slogan rend "Take to
the Tall Timbers." when "Bugs" had a
Trade or Travel," when "Bugs" had a
little bad luck in being touched for
several long swats, which, coupled with
an error or two, netted four runs. He
held the East Siders to five hit and
walked only three men, while Harry
Gardner, who pitched the first six in
nings for the "Triple T" club, allowed
four hits, fanned 10 men. but issued
six free tickets.
The inflelding feature of the game
was the work of "Bobby" Burns at sec
ond for the Athenians. He accepted
13 chances without a skip, and partici
pated in two double plays, both of
which pulled the Davey outfit out of
tight holes. Cal Giles. In spite of his
five errors, played a brtlllant game at
shortstop. H. K. Smith, secretary of
the Trl-Clty League. Jumped into a uni
form and helped out Oavey's team,
which was shorthanded. owing to the
failure of Stutt and several others to
show up. Catcher Brock and first base
man Thomas, of the East Portland
team, played splendid ball, as did most
of the other leaguers, although they
had but few chances. -
Steve Salnpoll officiated as the auto
crat of the diamond. Both teams were
satisfied with his work.

BRITISH PREMIER RESIGNS
. (Continued from First Paae.)
the holders with shattered political repu
tations.
Sir Henry came along with his im
perturbable way and his utter imper
viousness to ridicule. He manufactured
the term "I'lKteria" to describe the wild
tirades of the north of Ireland faction.
He baffled the Otangemen and baffled
Nationalists. He ignored the stinging
sarcasm of the latter until they gave him
the nickname of the "sandbag." This
term implied a sense of defeat because
of knowledge that their attacks had
made no impression on the chief secre
tary. It was at this time that Timothy
Healy said of Campbell-Bannerman that
"he was governing Irishmen with Scotch
jokes."
Sir Henry was an earnest, plodding
worker for the party, but lie was not an
orator, nor was he brilliant in debate. He
could not retort when savage attacks were
made on him in the House of Commons and
was not an aggressive tighter. His selec
tion, therefore, in 1S99, as leader of the
Liberal party in the House came as a
surprise to the majority of the Liberals.
It was thought that he could not be a
successful general, buqahe soon showed
that he was a great ortanli?r and that
he knew all the necessary moves in or
der to keep the party united.
Soon after his selection as leader, how
ever, his mall showed that the rank and
file of the party appreciated the choice.
Many newspaper men were concerned
about the. length of his name. One Lon
don editor declared that to print the
name in full meant to occupy a line of
tpe. It was the longest name on the
front benches of the House of Commons.
Here was his full name: "Right Honor
able Sr Henry Campbell-Bannerman. G.
C. B.. M. P.. P. C. M. A., LL D.. D. L..
J. P." The difficulty was ouicklv solved
by christening the new leader "C-B." and
by this abbreviation he was known tn
the newspapers and in conversation.
As leader Sir Henry displayed his cau
tion during the Boer war. fitt did not
praise the Boers as he might have done
In order to irritate his opponents. He re
frained from doing this lest it might lead
the Boers to prolong the war. He publicly
stated that the new subjects from the
South' African Republics should be admit
ted to all the rights and privileges of
British self-government. Under his terms
as Premier the Transvaal was given an
independent government similar to those
In Australia and New Zealand.
The downfall of the Tory government
came early in 19ns. and Sir Henry was
asked fcy King Edward to form a new
Cabinet. This was done, and then an ap
peal was made to the country. The Lib
erals were returned with an overwhelm
ing majority in the House of Commons,
and the reforms previously suggested
were thus made almost certain of
adoption.. Sir Henry was again chosen
Premier, and he selected a strong Cabi
net which was in sympathy with the pro
posed reforms.
As a consistent follower of the uiao-
stonlan policies, and firm in the convic
tion that home rule for Ireland was tne
only solution of the Irish problem. Sir
Henry found that there were many dis
senters among the party for the two years
he held office. He selected as members
of the Cabinet such men as John Morley,
Herbert Henry Asquith. who, as chancel
lor of the exchecouer, made a record in
lowering expenditures and increasing the
Income of the nation: Oavld Lloyd-
George, who settled the threatened rail
road strike: John Burns, labor leader, and
others equally strong.
At the close of the last session or par
liament. Sir Henry started the fight at
last looking toward the abolition of the
House of Lords.
PREDICTS HUGE CONFLICT
Taft Sars Conflict Between Labor
and Capital lh Inevitable.
CHICAGO, April 6. Secretary of
War William Howard Taft left Chi
cago this venlns; for Omaha, after
winding up his vlalt htr with a whirl
wind automobile ride through -the
park system of the city. In addition,
he made an address before the Order
of Hallway Conductors, visited a sick
friend, went to church, attended a
luncheon and conferred with, a number
of visitors with whom he discussed
some shades of the political situation.
"Men who control capital. as""well as
men who work for wages must com
bine," said Secretary Taft In his speech
before the labor organization. "Com
binations of capital within the bounds
or the Jaw are necessary for business
expediency and for cost reduction, nnd
because of these combinations among
employers the laboring: men must
combine also to obtain that to which
they are entitled.
"Every man who understands should
welcome the lawful combination of
capital as a benefit to the country at
large as wll as to the worklngrmen.
Yet there is no denying the fact that
we must look forward to a gipantic
controversy between labor and capital.
hoping and trusting It will be settled
peaceably. That controversy when It
comes will decide how capital and
labor shall share the Joint profits
which they create.
''For the past three years we have
been doing some house cleaning. We
needed It. President Boosevett was
the chief of those who called a halt
and convinced the people that no one
in this country Is above the law. I
do not say that all rich men are
wicked. We take pride in those who
by energy, intelligence and honesty
have accumulated wealth. But there
are men in this country who by means
of devious methods and contrary to
law have become multi-millionaires.
These must be made to know that their
lawless methods cannot be successful
in the future.
THE STURDIEST peoples of the earth drink beer
drink it from childhood to age. And those are the peoples
who suffer least from nervousness and from dyspepsia.
When one needs more vitality, the Doctor says "drink beer."
The barley is food; the hops are a tonic. The trifle of
alcohol is an aid to digestion. v
The proper drinking of beer but not the abuse of it is
good for the weak and the well. And not the least of the good
comes through flushing the system; in getting rid of the waste.
But a beer to be healthful needs to be pure. And it must
be well aged, else the after-result is biliousness.
That is why we are so careful with Schlitz. We double
the necessary cost of our brewing to injure absolute purity.
And we age the beer for months before marketing.
It gives you the good without the harm.
