the Browns defeating them by the score of

ride in the cars as an excuse, as the st.
Louis team also journeyed from New York.
The Browns played a fauluess fielding

mick went to short and Friel to third,
Henphill resuming his old place in right
field for the first time in six weeks This
combination appeared to work we'll, the
two first named handling the infield hits in
clever style. The fielding of the Senators
was somewhat frayed at the edges. Clarke
and Patten making errors at times when
they told in the score. while Delehanty mis-
played once without Injurious result.

Washington and his curves were hit hard,

five singles widely scattered being about all
the Senators could do with his speedy
drops.
Neither side scored In the first inning,
but in the second two base hits by .,nder-
son and Padden. with a sacrifice, a stolen
base and Clarke's bad throw to second, net
ted St. Louis two runs.
Patten then put on steam for two innings
and ciphers resulted. In the fifth, the
Browns got working again. Powell swung
widely at an outshoot and double result

minutes and while he was ruffled, Burkett

Some Checker Notes.
WANTS CONVENTION.
Baltimore in the Field for Next Meet
ing of Nominators

The Baltimore American this morning
prints the following: While no definite
steps are taken as yet toward capturing
one or both of the national political con-
ventions In 1904. strong sentiment has al
ready been aroused throughout the city.
and a move to that end will undoubtedly he
inaugurated. The great success with which
Baltimore entertained the delegates TO tho
Saengerfest, and the plans which are now
well under way to give the same gratifying
success with the national gathering of the
Elks and Odd Fellows. has proved an in
centive for more of the same character.
Unless present indications fail. therefore.
Baltimore will make a strong bid to secure
the great gathering of democratic and re-
publican hosts for their next national con-
ventions.
AS yet there has been no action by the
Merchants and Manufacturers Associl-
ton. the chamber of commerce. the board
OF trade, or similar organizations. with the
end In view, but vigorous steps will in all
probability be taken by all of the trade and
business bodies of the city. There has been
considerable talk on the subject among the
cations. and the sentiment seems universal
to do everything possible to capture the
conventions.
The belief is general that IL the step 3
to be a success it must be taken at once.
and to this end that general committee Of
some kind should be appointed This COM
mittee could get In touch with members of
the national : Qmmittees and party leaders
and create a sentiment for Baltimore Let
tiers showing the advantages of this city
could be sent out. and a pledge of 4 certain
amount Of money TO pay fo- convention ex-
penses would be necessary.
st. Louis has entered the race for the two
conventions and " will require energetic
work on the part q BaItimoreans II either
are to be brought here.
Governor Smith expressed himself yester-
day as heartily in favor of bringing ma
tional conventions of all kinds TO this city
when possible. In this connection Gov.
Smith said that he thought that the 9Th
Regiment Armory was going to be great
advantage to the city.
In some quarters there has been talk of
the formation Of some permanent commit
tee, whose duty IL would he to disseminate
information about Baltimore and its ad-
vantages as a convention city. and ende1v-
or to bring great gatherings here. No
steps have been taken. however. In any or
the matters and II success is to be al
tanned In regard to any OF the national
gatherings for next year. there should be
early action.
