The first game of the series played
between Sedalia and Guthrie here yes
terday -as won by the locals by a
score Of FIVE to three The game could
not be called fast one. because there
were several balloon ascenslons and spec
tacular aerial exhibitions which deiract-
ed from the good work Both teams oc-
casionally became very raw and took
wings and ascended into ethereal heights.
For the first hve innings the shoplift-
ers were unable TO land a score. They
seemed 10 ind the ban all right but
they could not place il safe. Womack
pitched lively ball for the Senators aad.
while he was punched around ntue.
he showed the visitors what ii is to go
up against "a scotch-Irishman IN the
box.
White started the fire works for Sc

was converted practically into home

Senators who allowed the marble TO be
passed by Bennett az third after having
come through three hands from the out

continue the fireworks everything siz-

The Senators scored one man In the

How CONVENTIONS
ARE SECURED

NRE oESl n -
Conventions. aside from the good
fellowship aud educational features.
are really prohtable adverus ng me.
diuns They bring people TO a city
and enable them to see it at SIS best.
A visitor can see more of the busl.
ness education, culture. hospitality and
an the various elements that make
Q place a desirable home IN three days
during a convention than he could see
ln two weeks under ordinary circum-
stances.
Nor is even the principal benefit de-
rived from those who subsequently
make The convention city their home
or a field for their own efforts, but
the fact of tse meeting being held
there and the stories tkst are told
q the city. its people and advantages
to the friends Of those who attend and
tho vide resulting advertisng-these
features are the most valuable ele-
nients. considered from the mere fnan.
cial standpoint.
The advantages Of such things are
being more and more clearly real
lied by other ambitious and growing
cities A very strong. but likely,
statement Is made by the Denver Post.
Fred Bonfrs paper, which says:
"By spending 100000 year to
bring great conventions to Denver, the
permanent good in five years, in the
form Of money spent and iett here,
and In the form OF Investments, and
people 6ecidins 70 come here 10 live
permanently, will represent an setusI
aecretion Of s5o,ooo,0oo.
"One of the most important OF re-
cent meetings in Denver took place
At the Albany hotel last evening. when
committee was appointed to select
permanent convention committee.
The idea prevailing among the assem-
blage OF hotel managers and business
men and Officials OF the city and
county was that. Irrespective Of the
Chamber of Commerce or the Real
Estate exchange. or the Hotel Mems
and Restaurant Keepers association.
or any other body the work Of bring
ing conventions to this city should
be in the hands OF a special body de-
voting itself 70 that work and moth
ing else,
~'rhe point was made that very
large sum Of money is collected in
Denver every year for ali sorts Of pub
tic purposes-one Of the purposes be
ing conyentions-wh partly is frit-
tered away owing TO lack Of concerted
handling
IT is estimated that 100000 :. year
IS raised in Denver along the lines Of
boosting the town. which. If concen-
trated, would produce wonderful re-
Suits It is possible to make Denver
the great convention city Of the coun-
try BY uniting the efforts Of the city
and county government, the contribu-
tions and Ideas Of interested citizens
and the newspapers"
