CHICAGO. June 21.-The creden-
tials committee has agreed to pre-
sent a report to the Republican Ma
tional Convention on its action on the
contested cases from Alabama and
Arizona. This ensures a business
session Of the convention today and
a lineup of the opposing forces on
which can be predicated the outcome
of all contested cases.
Governor Hadley the floor leader Of
the Roosevelt forces. and former
Congressman James Watson for the

so that the entire controversy can
be thrashed out in a parliamentary
way and without unnecessary con-
fusion.
After agpeeing to the report on two
OF the st9es. the committee got into
snarl as to what the report should
contain. Meanwhile the convention
waited and the leaders sat quietly
comforting.
At 1L27, there was no sign of the
committee reaching an agreement.
While the convention waited the var

selves by cheering and the band in
the gallery pacifed the spectators
with a series Of lively tunes.

NOTES OF THE GAME

This man Kenworthy, of Denver.
lately Is one of the most fortunate lit
tie men in the world In getting the ad-
vantage of close decisions. He hasn't
done any fiendish hitting. but he man.
aged to get on a whole lot. To-day he
beat out a measly infield hit the first
time up. He was just grazed by a
pitched ball the second time. He stole
second, being safe on a close decision.
In the seventh he beat out a hit to
Corridor and stole second on what
looked to be a hairline decision. Ken
worthy displayed lots OF pepper, too.
For instance, he raced back to second
in the sixth when there were three out.
The diamond was very soft after
rains. which accounted for the turned
ankles.
The players hurried the game as
much as possible, as the Washington
team had to catch an early evening
train. Darkness finally came before
they could end the contest.
The players complain that the Detroit
diamond is too hard and that balls take
bad bounces here.
Mcbride was caught by the hit and
run play in the fourth running TO cover
the bag as Louden hit, but Bill drove a
grounder right into McBride's path,
enabling him to start a double play.
Loudens relay Of Crawford's return OF
Johnson's double to right in the seventh
hit Umpire Hart, and he ordered Walter
back to second, after he had nearly reach
ed third.
Connolly chased Jack Onslow for dis
putting one OF his decisions on balls and
strikes.
Moeller nearly got a life when Bill
Louden fell in the mud fielding his
grounder in the eighth, but Bill threw
from the ground and got his man.
