SAVED BY ! ..ss;s:SELBACH
Phillies Nearly Won the First Game
With Washington.
HAD A SUDDEN BATTING STREAK
Exciting Finish to a Game Full of
Hitting.
S P ORTS IN GEN YER AL

With the score against them 12 to 4, the
hard hitters from Philadelphia began to
hit Mercer's slow drops yesterday afternoon
at National Park, and in three innings had
batted out seven runs and all but tied the
game. But Selbach accurately judged HUI
lens drlVe, and after a sharp run captured
1t and possibly saved the home team from
defeat. 1t was free-hitting game and one
that pleased the old-timers. There was lit
tie excitement except in the last inning, for
the home team took the lead and kept it
to the last But the long flies, the sharp
drives and the ground scorchers that were
secured on each pitcher kept the contest
full Of interest. 1t was very patchwork
playing-very good and awfully bad. Old
Sam Thompson never played any better.
He leaned over the wire fence in front of
the right field bleachers and gathered in
hit that had all the marks of home run.
Then Cooley took desperate chance on
short fly ind caught it within an inch of
the ground after a hard run. Browns
boys protested that he had made a pick up,
but Umpire Lynch explained that the grass
was long and that 1t was fair out. Lajoie,
the Phillies first baseman may be a ''fnd'
with the bat, but he fielded his position like
an automaton. When the ball was hit or
thrown In his direction he was completely
at sea and shipwrecked. What were meant
for sacrifice bunts proved to be safe hits,
and being followed by hard drives were
turned into runs
Then the home players were seized with
sudden fondness for big Buck Orths
straight ones, and before they tired they
had accumulated twelve runs. Mercer and
Farrell had smiles a yard wide, and lit
tie Wrigley on the coaching lines grew
very kittenish. In fact. the whole
team seemed good terms with them
selves. The visitors couldn't do a thing
with Mercers slow ones. Either they
punched out or hit flies into the air that
were easy. Grady's arm was away off, and
he couldn't nail i runner or catch a man
at the plate. The spectators. not many, to
be sure. OF ly 800, but loyal TO the last man,
enjoyed the situation amazingly. When
Lave Cross shouted to Lajoie, "You take IT,
Lahzhooway!' the merry onlookers yelled
to him to say it again. Cant" replied
Cross, and there was a laugh. But the
canEonading that opened in the eighth and
continued in the ninth chased away all the
merriment. The sun went behind a cloud,
the laughing ceased, the air grew chilly
and the end was awaited with universal
anxiety. There was loud shout Of relief
when Hulen's drive settled in Selbach's
hands and the game was saved. Score:

explanation of his action, that Bryan
was the overwhelming choice OF the
convention, that the telegram, what
ever it was, was not addressed to the
convention or to Populist delegate,
that it was purely Democratic nego-
tiation, and something with which a
Populist convention had nothing to
do.
When the roll call was completed it
was found that Bryan had LOAF ont of
the 1000 votes in the convention.
Frank S. Norton of Chicago was the
only other candidate. Ignatius Don
nelly of Minnesota ana General Coxey
of Ohio were nominated, but their
names were withdrawn. Norton re-
ceived S2l votes, Eugene V. Debs 10
and Donnclly /. Norton got the ma

of the votes of Alabama, California,

z. H. Plumacher, United States con-
sui at Maracaibo, reports to the state
department that the government of
Venezuela has made contracts with
William Harper representing the Phil
adelphia Museums and American Man
ufacturing association, for the estab-
lishment of permanent exhibition of
American goods in Caracas, with their
own building, and other permanent ex-
hibitions in Valencia, Ciudad, Bolivar
and Maracaibo. The purpose of the ex-
hibition is to give the Venezuelans an
opportunity to formally inspect and
compare our goods with those Of the
old world. Mr.. Plumacher says that
Germany, England and France overrun
South America with commercial tray
cling agents, mostly energetic young
men well versed in the Spanish Ian
guage and the customs Of South Amer
lean people. A commercial traveller for
an American house is seldom seen in
the country. Mr.. Plumacher thinks
the permanent exhibitions will help
American trade, without the great ex-
pense attending sending Of agents to
South America.
