ROANOKE CONVENTION.

The Democratic Convention,
held at Roanoke last week, has
demonstrated three things: That
NFm. Jennings Bryan IS The choice
~ the Virginia Democracy as its
candidate for the Presidency; that
John Warwick Daniel is still the
idol of Virginia and Virginia
Democrats, and lastly. but not
.the least. sthat the principles of
true Democracy still prevail in
old Virginia. 1t was a foregone
conclusion that Mr.. Bryan was
the choice of the Democrats Of
this State, but the enthusiasm
with which his name was received
at the Roanoke Convention
proved beyond the shadow of a
doubt his superb popularity and
has strength rs leader Of Demo-
Gratis. The Lame Lion of Lynch
bnrg put himself squarely before
the Convention, and although he
was one of those who opposed in
.structiOns for Mr. Bryan. yet his
speech, his frank and masterful
manner of delivering it, had no
other effect than thai of produc-
ing perfect harmony in the ranks
of the party.
The platform is in every wav
all that could be desired bv
Democrats and having ali the
elements of merit that pertain to
the cardinal principles of good
government all Democrats should
be satisfied with it.
As every act of the convention
proves that the spirit of true
Democracy still lives and prevails
IN Virginia. that men can differ
and vet bow to the will of the
majority, there should not be any
factions in~the party, all breaches
should be healed and in the COM
-nlg Presidential campaign we
should so before the people with
a united party.
That the Roanoke Convention
has done we'll its work goes with
out saying, and The JOURNAL be-
lieves that If all Democrats work
together for the good of the party
and country, success will crown
their efforts.

FRISCO SPORTS PLAN
MONSTER STADIUM

SAN FRANCISCO, August 1O.-Sports-
men in and about San Francisco have
undertaken about the biggest job in the
history of American sports in beginning
the erection Of a stadium that will COM
fortably seat 10000 persons, and. when
necessity arises. will accommodate 2JO.-
0vo. This seems like fairy tale. but 1t
Is far from 1t. Plans have been drawn
and few days ago the Frisco park COM
mission voted 5000 as a starter of the
great fund that is to be raised to COM
plete the work.
This stadium will be built principally by
private subscriptions, but the city and state
are expected to further aid in a finan-
cial way. 1t is designed TO furnish a
place where great sporting events. foot
ball games, track meets and even Olympic
games may be held. and where there will
be ample accommodations for the in
terested public.
While the plans have been drawn and
accepted and the specifications in part
have been furnished, the stadium will be
built on the installment plan, piece by
piece as the funds are received. No def
mite time has been set for its completion,
as it is such a monstrous undertaking
that money. men and materials cannot be
had sufficient to make il possible to pro-
coed with any definiteness. However, the
stadium will be built as speedily as funds
are received, and movement has been
begun to raise the necessary funds, with
practical assurance that all the money
needed will be forthcoming.

ANSON MEETS WITH
FINANCIAL REVERSES

1t is announced from Chicago that Cant
Arson has met with financial reverses
which may mean the loss of the hand
some billiard rooms and bowling alleys
which he has owned for so long a time
This announcement was received with
genuine regret not only by the thousa nds
who are familiar with the captains long
and honorable connection with base hall
but by thousands of the younger genera.
ton Of base ball enthusiasts who onIv
know of his great prowess as a batsmanH
probably the greatest the game ever pro-
duced-by what they have read of him
For nearly a quarter of century Arson
was easily the foremost figure in the ma
tional game. Loyal to his employers
they eventually gave him sorry return
for this loyalty; Arson refused to con-
slider any proposition advanced to him to
join the Players League movement. II
Harry Wright In the east and Arson in
the west had deserted the National
League at the critical period the base bali
maps would hot be arranged as they are
today. Arson stuck and eventually got
the same deal in Chicago that Harry
Wright got in Philadelphia. He was a
minority stakeholder and he got only
promises for his end of the dividend. It
Is said that Anson's present difficulties
are due to debts incurred in trying to be
reelected city clerk Of Chicago. BY tenn
permanent and training Arson was not cut
out for politician. He Is too good q

They figured the house would run in ex-

showed $3.50. This can be accounted for
on the ground that the fight fans thought
the result was a cinch, and didn't give
Kelly chance The betting, which start
ed at . to and was forced to 10 to 4, was
also a factor. The articles of agreement
called for 30 per cent of the receipts to go
to the fighters, to be divided GO per cent
to the winner and 40 per cent to the loser
In addition, Ketchel received 10 per cent
bonus from the club. This would make
his winning end $2673, while the loser S
share was 81 1886.
