nation by Caucus,
Conventions have not always nomi-

presidential candidates were named by
caucus made up of members of the
house and the senate. This system
died when in 1894 the caucus insisted
upon by Martin Van Buren, and other
friends of William H. Crawford Of
Georgia defeated Crawford. which
threw the election into the house on
account of the scattering electoral vote
caused by the entrance Of Clay, Cal

In the race. This fracas elected Adams.
The campaign Of 1928 In consequence
was somewhat demoralized, and in
1881 the Republicans followed the ex-

Clay. The Democrats held their first
national convention in the same city
the following year, nominating Martin
Van Buren, for vice president The
dominating figure Of the party, Andrew
Jackson. needed no Endorsement Of his
candidacy for the presidency.
The Democrats In 1885 and 1910

KENNEDY OVERCOMES
BIG LEAD AND WINS
Defeats Walter johnson in Final Game
of Their Match Series and Annexes
5000 Purse by Playing Brilliant
Billiards All the Way

Walter Kennedy fully justified all the
claims made for him as the three
cushion billiard champion of Southern
California by winning his match series
of 100 points with Walter Johnson,
playing in brilliant form last night in
the second and last game Of the series
and overcoming Johnson's lead of
eleven points gained in the first game.
The final score was Kennedy 100, john
son 70. The match was played nomi-
nally for the championship, but a $500
side purse was the stakes that made
them play the series to the last ditch.
In the first game, played Monday
night at Morley's Casino parlors, john
son won by the score of so to 80, play
ing in his usual great form and making
many high runs and an average OF
nearly 70. The final game was played
last night at Berry's parlors over the
Hoffman and Kennedy had to play 81
to Johnson's 90. Kennedy was In rare
form and took the lead in the first In
ming, slowly increasing that lead to the
finish. Johnson was not in the form he
exhibited the first night and only scored
twice in twenty innings. At the So
point mark Kennedy was leading by
the score of 50 to 25, which gave him a
lead in the series of a. With only IL
points to make as against % for john
son. he played a careful safety game
and ran out the 81 points by making
his eleven while Johnson was making
four. The room was crowded with bill
lard enthusiasts and the brilliant play
ing of both frequently ELECTED great

the police say he was the instigator of
the meet and assert they can hold him
responsible. Col. Heaslip, president of
the New Orleans Jockey club, declared
he was opposed to the meet and would
not be connected with it in any way.
Only one race was run, and this was
won by May Celia. Four horses were
in the race, which was at a quarter of
a mile. Malcolm, Billy Strong, May
Celia and Mr.. Knapp were the starters.
In the betting May Celia opened at 4
to 5, while the other horses were held
at to 1. No attempt was made to in
terfere with the betting until after the
race was run, and as soon as the re-
suit was announced and an attempt
was made to cash bets the police be-
came active
If the prisoners are punished it is not
likely that any more attempts at rae
ing will be made, the lightest penalty
being a fine of 500, together with a Jail
term of six months If the prosecution
fails racing probably will be resumed

handicap the event. The entire caro-
for today is featured with class and
popular fvorites will be found in eV-
cry rec. All the horses, with fiVe ex-
ceptions, have started at the meeting,
and the public has a good line on them:
Among the really good ones that VIII
start for the first time this season are
Norfolk, Light Comedy, Financier,
Woodcraft and Carthage. The latter
once was one of the greatest sprinters
in training, and although he is i've
years old and has been on the shelf
for quite while, he is high-class
racer and will make all of them run
When the bookmakers posted 10 to 1
against the chances of Waterbury in
the last race yesterday, the spectators
turned to one another and almost unan-
imously asked the question. Has Wat
erbury broken three of his legs?" With
two good legs he figured like a L to z

should have been off the boards. Car

Mccarey Card Is Next
The next pugilistic event on the local
boards is the big popular-priee snow
that Uncle Tom will stage FRIDAY nlght
at Maud Junction, in which Fighting
Dick Hyland and Kid Dalton will FUR
nish a ten-round main event. with an
excellent preliminary feature.
Hyland is a topnotcher in the light
weight division and formidable con-
tender for the championship. He came
to the coast to get matched up with
Freddie Welsh, Packy Mcfarland and
other good boys, but as none OF them
is available for several weeks he de-
cided to take a chance in a limited bout
with Kid Dalton and thereby PICK up
some expense money.
He and Packy Mcfarland are
matched for a middle of January date,
and that will be his first important bat
tie on the coast this year. Yet he must
whip Dalton in a decisive manner to
get that match. as Packy would not
come west to fight him if he made a
poor showing with Dalton or lost TO
him.
The card for Friday night is fully up
to the standard already set by Mecca
rey for his popularprice shows. and the
fans have been educated to expect a
classy offering and entertaining battles
at these prices. McCarey will wind up
the 1908 season with this show, As he
will not put on a card until in January.
and II is expected that the fans will
find the offering sufficiently attractive
to make a fitting windup of the year at
the McCarey pavilion.

About the only possibility of failure
Of the negotiations lies in Freddie's de-
mand for $1,000 expenses. If he can get
this concession from the club he Will
accept the offer, as the $4,000 purse IS
satisfactory and he says 1t Will ne
duck soup for him to beat either Britt
or Summers. A very remote posslplilty
OF failure also is found in the chance
that Battling Nelson will come out or
his retirement and give Freddie
whack at the title.
Freddie always has been popular in
his home city, most naturally ana
since he has attained such great prom
inence in the ring as his recent VIC
tories have given him he has become
the village wonder and the people want
to see him in action just as they want
ed to see Billy Papke at home after he
won the title. Freddie also is proud
of his successes and wants to go back
home and be admired and show them
what a Welshman can do in the Tight
ing line.
Papke Is Brokenhearted
Billy Papke is brokenhearted and
SAYS that he never will fight again. He
takes very much to heart his failure
TO win decisive victory over his rival,
Hugo Kelly, last Tuesday night and

accepted as being nothing more or less
than was due him, the fact that Kelly
succeeded in marring his features and
fought him to a draw, and that so
soon after he had won and lost the
middleweight championship, has given
him the "blues," and the Thunderbolt
announces positively that he is out of
the game forever.
This probably is nothing more than
a peeve and he will get over it all right
enough after he ceases to grieve over
his last two poor ring efforts. He does
not believe he is going back, but the
draw with Kelly, coming right on top
of the loss of his title when Ktechel
knocked him out has broken his spirit,
