Hill VIII Be Named but VIII Be On
posed


posed
CHICAGO, July At is settled. as far
as anything can be. that the national
committee will name Senator Hill for
temporary chairman. 1t is also certain
that the silver men will not accept Mr..
Hill and will probably vote in a tempor-
airy chairman of their own. Senator
Money of Mississippi said that the silver
men would not accept Hill, although
personally they all like him very we'll.
He says that Senator Hill is one of the
ablest men the gold men could name, and
the silver men are afraid that he would
manipulate the convention to their dis
advantage. 1t is known that Mr. Hill
will accept the offer of the national COM
mitteemen and allow the convention to
vote him down if they do not want him.
Ben Gable, a member of the committee
of Illinois, has raised the point that the
convention has no right to say who shall
be temporary chairman, IS it is matter
wholely within the direction of the ma
tional committee, and that the conven-
tion is under control of the committee
until permanent organization is effected
He says that the refusal of the silver
men to accept the man put forward by
contrary to all precedents. Mr.. Gable is
in favor of the committee naming a tenn
porary chairman of it's choice, and the
convention can do as it pleases about
accepting him.

a primrose yellow haze over the Cali
fornia League park today. when the
Stockton team beat out San Francisco
,to the score Of 12 to 4. before good hol-
iday crowd. The first three innings were
fatal for the home team, for the visitors
piled up eight runs. subsequently San
Francisco settled down to business, but
they could not catch the leaders.
The mysterious drop that Balz brought
down from Stockton with him was the
feature of the game. Stockton played
crisp ball throughout and aside from
Balzs pitching Shortstop Lockhead put
up the star game. In the eighth inning
he caught out SWEET on a foul fly that
was twenty feet back of second base.
making a phenomenal run around Wal
ters to get it. The following is the score
by innings:
