When will some players discover
that the up-al night and game next
day combination won It work.
1t is doubtful that We could beat the
Maroons when playing at our best, but
it's acertainty that we could have given
them a harder run ii the birds had put
up even their usual game.
Twelve miseues and numerous dumb
plays, with Preiean and Reed-the two
the most was expected getting more
than half Of the bad marks. Wouldn't
that give yoa a nightmare.
Creoli, II. Weber and NJ Y ariani
were the only birds that didn't break
into the error column.
Landry is improving in his stick
work, getting two doubles and a single
out Of five times up in the two games.
It die a true fend good To see the
teamwork displayed by the Mafoons.
Aud the manner in which they worked
the squeeze was splendid. Their
ner never seemed to doubtt the batter IS
ability TO hit the ball and would start
home a-helling just as soon as the
pitcher threw the sphere.
In theatrical parlanee, Cleveland
Park will be dark tomorrow, the Peli-
cans going to PIattenvlIie to again
try conclusions with that team, and II
is hoped they will be more successful
than on previous occasions. The birds
are Just as strong as the Plattenvilles
in every position and if they play any
kind of ball should win out. The La
fourehe branch train of the Texas and
Pacific Railway which leaves at II &c
a. N. will carry passengers at reduced
rates and remain over at Plattenvllle
until after the game to bring the base
ballists home.

Conventions in Washington are usually
rather formal affairs. and it is not often
that there is such a family gathering as
the teleSraphers' convention at the Ar
lington today. There were over 200 men,
bers and their wives. 1t was a crowd
that filled the big assembly room. 4
crowd made up of the most prominent
men in the wire world, and many of
them men with records of service under
fire. Fo.' there were really three con-
ventions. though everybody knew every
body else. and the three got together as
one. There were the Old Time Teleg-
raphers, the Society of the Military Tele-
graph, men who had served at the key
in field and city during the civil war.
and the Telegraph Historical Society.
The gathering was welcomed by Com
missioner Mcfarland in a friendly, in
formal sort of talk. that was heartily re-
sponded to by President VIM H. Young
of the Old Timers, and by w. ]. Dealy
of New orlS. also member of 1.-The Old

formal business. The men of Morse come
to their conventions for a good time.
They elect officers and settle on place
