The Crackers got the start on the

a little wild to start but grew better
as the game progressed and the Barons
again won easily. IL to l.
GAME PROTESTED
The first game was played under pro-
test of Manager Frank, who contends
violating the rules. To even matters,
Moley protested on the grounds that
Wilson did not have on a regulation
cap, another violation of the rules. 1t
is an almost certainty that both pro-
tests will be thrown out by President
Baugh. chiefly because of the large
score by which the Barons won.
The Barons got next to Mr.. Perry
early. Five runs were scored. 1t hap
pened like this: Mcdonald walked. Der
rick was safe on Yerkes' error. Coombs
sacrificed. Mcdonald scored on a wild
pitch. Meusel's double scored Derrick.
Clark singled to left. Clark and Meusel
worked the double steal. Eschen struck
out. Smith singled to center. Smith and
Clark worked the double steal. Cation
tripled to right, Smith scoring.

The second seconding speech was

Many delegates and spectators
made a rush for the exits when the
vice presidential nomination was
made and Senator James with great
difficulty restored order.
Resolutions were then adopted ap-
pointing Chairman James and former
Governor Glynn Of New York, chair
man of committees, respectively, to

delegates were among the paraders.
Senators and representatives helped
carry banners. Senator Hughes per-
sonally bore the New Jersey flag.
Sergeant-at-Arms Martin stirred up
the enthusiasm by waving the Texas
Lone Star" flag, handed over the
heads of the crowd from the chair
mans rostrum- Other state flags
we're taken to the platform. The
crowd joined in singing a melody, in
Guiding How Dry I AM" "Old Black
Joe," The Red, White and Blue" and
others.
After the demonstration had been
underway 80 minutes, New York and
some other delegates resumed their
seats.
Waving a cane over the rail at the
chairman's desk, Senator Hughes re-
newed the clamor by leading three
cheers for the President
No Effort at Control.
The band exhausted the list OF
popular national airs, then turned TO
"Tipperary," and the crowd joined in
the chorus. Then the musicians went
back to American airs. Some of the
delegates stopped long enough to
drain pop bottles and then went back
to it again. The band was so vigorous
keeping UP the din that the musicians
went short of breath, SO they laid back
and let the bass drummer perform
alone for a while. He belabored his
drum industriously until the bandsmen
got their second wind and then went
back to "Tipperary."
There was no attempt to control the
crowd. Men and women over-ran the
platform and the press sections at
will. The passages to the telegraph
rooms were so packed with persons
who had no business in the vicinity
that only those who had their tele-
graph instruments on the platform
could send the news of the conven-
ton to the outside world. The police
made no effort to control the situa-
ton.
The crowd roared when several wo-
men suffrage workers with golden
umbrellas and yellow sweaters mount
ed the platform and held a suffrage
umbrella over the head of Represen-
tat1ve Hef1in, one of the most vigor-
GUS 'antis" in Congress. He appar

When the convention had opened
Saturday shortly after II O'Clock
Chairman James called for the renort

down to wait.
At 11:43 Chairman James announc.
ed that the platform report would be

to request from delegates to fix the
time and place for notification of Pres.

Senator Reed of Missouri then made

Coliseum, St. LOuis.-President Wil
son and Vice President Marshall were
nominated by acclamation by the Dem
ocratic National Convention, the tick
ct being completed four minutes be-
fore Friday.
Marshall Opposition Melted.
There never was any doubt of Pres
ident Wilson's nomination but there
was a possibility that some vice pres
idental booms might be brought out
In opposition to Vice President Mar
shall. They melted away, however,
when the convention got in session,
and as soon as President Wilson's
nomination had been made a roaring
chorus of exclamation, Senator Kern,
who renominated Mr.. Marshall, cast
aside a long prepared speech ana
simply declared:
81 nominate Thomas Riley Marshall
of Indiana for vice president"
To President Wilson's nomination
there was only one dissenting vote,
Robert Emmett Burke of Illinois, who
came to the convention announcing
that he was opposed to the president.
His vote technically made the presi-
dents nomination, 1901 to 1.
Firemen Halt Bryan.
The Coliseum was so full that the
fire department took charge of the en-
frances and permitted no more to
come in. William ]. Bryan, however,
managed to get by and got an up
roarous reception. Senator James

At 9:15 o'clock Chairman James
raped the convention to order. The
Rev. w. J. Hardesty, chaplain of the
Missouri senate, offered prayer. After
the prayer the crowd renewed 9ts
demands for a speech from Bryan.
Senator Thompson moved a suspen-
sion of the rules to permit Mr.. Bryan
to speak. There were some noes"
but the chairman ruled two-thirds
had voted in favor.
A committee headed by Senator
Kern escorted Mr.. Bryan to the
speakers place while the floor and
galleries roared their approval.

Senator James introduced Mr.. ,Bry-
an as lone of the leading citizens of

Then the roll of the states was
called for nominations. Alabama
yielded to New Jersey and Judge
John w. Wescott nominated Presi-
dent Wilson.
Judge Wescott spoke very slowly.
At the rate he uttered his first 800
words it would require about one hour
and twenty minutes to conclude.
The delegates were attentive and
quiet as Judge Wescott proceeded
burt the galleries were impatient.
Name him, name him." came cries
from the galleries, and Judge Wes-
colt hurried his speech.
AS he closed at 10:49 with a men
