tee has contests from nine states to
sider--elght delegates at large from
Illinois and representatives from the
18th and Goth district, two in the 9th
Missouri district, two In the 7th Tex
as, the entire Rode Island, Alaska,
District Of Columbia and Philippine

side for argument.
The credentials committee has re-
ported to the convention leaders that

Of the convention before 8 o'clock to-
night Chairman Bell has asked that
the convention take a recess, when II
meets at noon, until tonight. Up to
1870 only the Hearst-Harrison side
Of the Illinois contests had been heard
II was presented by Congressman Raj
ney, Of Illinois.
The Illinois contest laid bare a Bit
ter factlonal fight between the sulll-
van forces on one side, and the Hearst
Harrison forces on the other Each
side charged that the other attempted
to "pack' the Cook county conven-
tlon. Separate conventions were held.
The Sullivan attorneys, Elson VIII
llams and Frank J. Quinn, based their
claim for the legality Of the Sullivan
delegates on the allegation that the
Hearst Harrison people brought no
contests before the regular convention
at Peoria.
Congressman Rainey and Major
p. B. Tollman presented the Hearst
Harrison side. Thlrty-one seats are
in contest throughout the state. Both
sets Of delegates are pladged to
Clark.
The committee unanimously seated
William b. Barry IN the seventh
Pennsylvania district Berry was the
Keystone party for governor two years
ago.
In the ninth Pennsylvania district
contest the contestants withdrew IN
favor Of q. p. Davis and /. n. Diller,
who had been placed on the temporary
roll by the national committee. The
parties to the Porto Rican contest got
together and agreed to divide the del
egates, The contest was then with
drawn.
By vote Of 40 to 10 the credentials
committee Of the national committee
seated the 20 Sullivan delegates from
the congressional districts OF Cook
county, Illinois. The followers Of

Hearst declared as soon as the action
Of the committee was announced that
they would carry the fight to the floor
Of the convention, when It assembled
tonight
by vote Of 3s to 10 the committee
half an hour later seated the sulll-
van delegates in the 18th and Goth
districts Only one seat was contest
ed IN the i7th and two In the Goth.

In 1887 Detroit won the National league flag and the ST. Louis Browns
under the leadership Of Comskey, took the American association bunung or
the third time in uccesson. The Browns were the title holders having 20
the honor from Ansons Chicago team the year before.

Rape Seeding.

In seeding rape broadcast, from
three to five pounds Of seed are re-
uuired to the acre. If sown In drills.
from one to two pounds Of seed are
sufi cient. The quality and condition
of the soil will govern the exact
amount, lighter seeding being used on
rich and clean ground.
The condition of the seed bed should
be fine, firm and moist. A light top
dressing of manure may be applied
and the crop responds very readily to
such treatment.
AS a soiling crop, 1t is desirable to Sc
cure all the growth possible, so the
more perfect We can make the con-
ditions the greater will be the re
suits.

they don't care a rap for the science
Of it. I'll let them call me a bone
head every day If 1 can win ball
games by 1t.
We were playing the Chicago club
early in 1911, and fighting them on
their feet In the series. / think 1t
was the third game of the series. 1t
was a fierce fight all the way, as every
game Of the series was, and the score
was close when we came down to the
end. We were tied, and neither had
scored many runs, but late In the
game Chicago got a runner to second
base with one out, and We were bat
ting to keep them from scoring the
winning run. Holman was at bat and
1 was watching closely to see what
our pitcher was handing up to him,
and playing a little bit closer to the
bag than usual because Of Hofmans
speed in coming down to first He
hit the ball a mile a minute, almost
saw 1t coming I knew 1t was up to me
to stop that ball or the game was
gone. It didn't look as II anyone had
a chance to reach the ball, but |
jumped owe and made a slap at 1t
with my mitt. The ball jumped up
lust In time to hit the edge Of the
mitt hard, and I knew l had blocked
it's force and that it was only a base
hit instead Of the triple 1t would hav
been had it passed the mitt. l really
didn't know where the ball was, but
saw 1t rolling slowly back Of me into
right field.
That far l had made a nice play
and a lucky stop. I Jumped after the
Eball, and in doing so l must have lost
my head. I knew the runner was GER
tain to beat the ball to first. He was
ahead of Sallee, who was coming over
to cover first, when I picked up the
ball, and there wasn't a chance to
catch him. My play, without doubt,
was to get that ball back to the plate
to prevent the running from second
trying to score, and If l could hold
him at third, which ought to have
been easy, we still would have a
chance to cut off the runner at the
plate or to try for a double play. l
was so anxious and ratified that 1
leaped on the ball and cut loose at
full speed to first. Sallee was cover
ing as fast as he could, but the way
l threw he couldn't have caught the
ball any more than he could catch a
cannon ball. Ths ball went past him
like a flash, struck the dirt, bounded
straight into the catcher's hands. and
the runner who was trying to score
from second was out by ten feet at
the plate.
It took us a long time to win that
game. We tied in eleven innings that
day, tied when We tried to play it of,
and we finally o it late In Sep

USE EXPOSITION PARK AGAIN
Historical Baseball Grounds In Pitts
burg Being Occupied by New
United States League.

The United States organization Is
the fourth baseball league to use Elk
position park for its games In Pitts
burg. The first was the old Allegheny
club of the American Association. The
Alleghenys first played their games at
Union park, but in 1882, under the
management of A. G. Pratt, they shift.
ed to Exposition field, and used those
grounds also during the season Of
1888, but in 1884 they went back to
Union park and remained there until
they passed out of existence after the
season Of 1886. Pittsburg was admit
ted to the National league in 1887, but
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1912-06-19

the new club did not at first use Ex-
position park, selecting Recreation
park instead. Exposition field was
not to be kept off the map for long,
however, and 1t came back into proml-
hence again in 1890, when the Broth
erhood or Players league was formed.
The Pittsburg team Of the new league
made Exposition park its home field,
and this appeared to establish the
place, for when the Players league
passed out after one years existence
the National league team was shifted
from Recreation to Exposition, and
continued to use the latter for nearly
nineteen full seasons, playing there
from the opening Of the season of 1891
until June 20, 1909, when 1t removed
to Forbes field. From that time until
now Exposition park has not been the
scene Of any professional league
games.

You frequently hear the question
asked, What is the best size OF fock
for The average FARM" Generally
speaking. from 40 to 60 ewes make the
hest size of flock for a quarter Sec
ton farm. There is some disadvantages
in having too small a flock, for in
stance, with a flock OF 20 ewes you Will
have a handful Of wool and few lamps
for the market. OF course the small
flock Is better than none at all, ana
l think the average man does best to
start with a half dozen or a dozen
ewes, provided he is unfamiliar with
the business, and then work up to the
number that he finds he can handle to
best advantage. 1t is scarcely n
more trouble tc handle a bunch OF ~
or 80 ewes, and a bunch of this size
