 - The most disinterested person could not fail to observe that In point of personal popularity Richmond Pearson Hobson was easily in the forefront.
 There were generous cheers for Ala hama's naval hero every time the great body of men had a square view of him. During the brief recess in the early hours of the convention Hobson went on the stage and stood modestly in earnest converse with Chairman Gray.
 A big g-lunged delegate over in the Sixth District section recognized the erect figure of the sailor and cried. "Hobson.' In a second the delegates aroused themselves. blew the cold from their lungs and shrieked in uni son. "Hobson," 'Hobson." "Hobson,'' they yelled
 The young man from Hale, not a delegate to the convention. looked fur lively over his shoulder. gasped in sheer desperation and then actually ran through a rear door.
 Soon he emerged on the convention floor and the delegates espied him again. This time they were more in-

Red Skins Gave Fine Exhibition By Shutting Out MontgOmery's Crack Amateurs at the Oak

An Indian-not only a baseball fan but one of the Simon-pure, full-blooded ar- tiales-bY the name of Drew, went out to the Oak Park ball grounds yesterday afternoon and made the picked team op- posed to him bear a close resemblance to cluster of battered coins.
 The game between the Indians and the team picked from the members of the Falcons and Independents of the old City ateur exhibitions. The distinctive fea- ture of the game was the phenomenal boxwork of Drew Only two hits were made off him. both of them bv shorty Finley, one of them a clean two -bagger Drew only gave two bases on balls and struck out thirteen men, several times striking out men with men on base and once with the bases full
 Another feature was the base-runnlng Of the Redskins. They were lightning on the paths and such thing as double Niagara Falls.
 The picked team, however. put up an excellent article of ball. even If they were shut out. Butt in' Kohn struck out six men and only gave three bases on balls. He received good support, too. and the fans were reminded of City League days by the work of the Patter- son boys, Clumsy Kilgrow, etc, though the team was a little stiff and showed the lack of practice.
 Outside of the pitching of Kohn and Drew a brilliant feature was Meyers run and catch of foul fly

The visitors started off with ire works. making two triples off Watt in the first inning, though only one could score Durrett tripled with two out and scored on Jansing's triple but Delehanty retired the side. Montgomery had chances to score but not a man crossed the plate until the seventh when Clark, who was first up, doubled to left, went to third on Granville's tumble of Stickney's grounder. and scored on Tritton's grounder to Gran vile. while Stickney was being put out at second Tn the eighth, with two out.

SIDELIGHTS ON CONVENTION
 OF THE ALABAMA DEMOCRATS

Young men dominated the Democrat tc Convention which made party his tory yesterday between the hours of noon and 5 o'clock. It was strong, virfle. healthy. vigorous set of men a set of men that well represented the yeomanry of Alabama
 The two young men who presided. Henry Gray and Carson Whitson, are representative types. Gray. the sue cessful banker of the great mineral district; Whitson, the keen witted, in- teliigent lawyer who has already im- pressed himself on public affairs of Alabama. The rasping voice of Whit son delivered some thoughtful utter ances on the time and the ocasion. Those who knew Whitson, when they heard that he was to preside, knew as well that they were to hear good speech
 There moved about the convention hall beardless Democrats who are none the less strong of mind and alert to the public interest Erie Pettus, the youthful; Ernest Thompson, the Thoughtful young son of the late Con- gressman Thompson; young Senator Lynne. of Morgan; Max Hamburger, the boyish-appearing Mobile editor; and close by his side Jules Afford. the youngest wearer of the ermine in the State: fat J.
