A Tough Little Irish Kid.
Young Jimmy was a tough little Irish
kid, and lived in the tough part of town
Tar Hill-where he scrapped and played
ball among the sand in the lots from
morn until night.
He really made his debut into baseball
when he was given a position with the
Holy Cross and Temperance Society's
team. Sounds like good beginning
but wait until you hear the how Of
1t.
You see, when this team was first
organized our heros name was not in
the line up-they hadn't figured Jimmy
at all. So the grieved and hurt young
Callahan did some figuring himself
and when the brilliant new unifroms
arrived for the team and the proud play
ers were all standing around admiring
and caressing the garments-why, James
stole in, stole uniform-and stole out.
And what was more. the uniform was
to stay stolen. and was not to be given
UP under any consideration, except that
they make him a member of the team.
What was the Holy Cross and Tenn

And Jimmy Busted In.
So they gave in. Possibly they never
really meant to make young Callahan

stolen uniform, but anyway Jimmy got
a chance to play, and that was all he
needed. He made 80 good that he stuck.

Washington, Jan. 9-The democratic
national convention will be held in
Baltimore, beginning Tuesday, June
25. The choice was made late today
by the democratic national committee
after spirited contest and after rep
resentatives Of Baltimore, st. Louis,
Chicago, Denver and New York had
presented the claims of these cities in
detail
Two ballots were taken. On the first
ballot Baltimore received rs ballots;
st. Louis, 19; Chicago, 8; Denver, g.;
and New York /. On the second bal
lot the vote for Baltimore was made
unanimous.
The first business transacted today
by the democratic national committee
was to decide that the convention
should be held June 25, one week af-
ter the republican national conven.
tion. At this time the place Of the
convention had not been determined.
st. Louis was working hard to over
come the Baltimore lead.
Members Of the committee were late
in assembling. due to the fact that the
Jackson day banquet had continued
until an early hour today. 1t was al
most o'clock this morning when Will
liam Jennings Bryan finished his adj
dress and later ho~- --',~~ the din
ner guests quit the banquet hall in
jubilant frame of mind.
Denver made the first bid for the
convention. Charles F. Franklin Of
that city told the committee that Den
yer offered reasonable and necessary
expenses for the convention and prom
ised to be liberal. Mr.. Franklin as
serted that Denver could give the best
convention hall in the country.
Chicago next had it's innings and in
addition to defraying the expenses
of the convention. offered a contribu-
tion of $4,000 to the democratic cam
paign fund. This announcement
caused stir and apparently increased
Chicago's chances materially.
