Bull Moose Roars for Teddy, but
Leaders Check Stampede and the
Shouting Dies Without Results

Auditorium Hall, Chicago, June L.
With tumultuous demonstration for
Theodore Roosevelt, the progressive
national convention opened here to-
day while the republican national con-
yention was in progress at the Coli
scum. Enthusiasm for Roosevelt was
preeiptaied when Raymond Robins
OF Chicago, the temporary chairman
the eonyeation, referred to him as
the foremost citizen oi the world"
During the enthusiastic outburst
for Roosevelt, which interrupted the
speech Of the temporary chairman,
there was every indication that the
progressive leaders had the eonven-
ton in control and that no nomina-
tioA for the presidency would be at
tempted until conferences, already
begun with republican leaders, had
been eonsummated.
Cheer for Leaders.
The convention was called to order
by Victor Murdock Of Kansas, chair
man of the progressive national COM
mittce, and his appearance on the
platform, surronndeL by George w.
Perkins Oscar $. Strauss, Hiram
Johnson OF California and other pro.
gressiyc leaders was the signal for a
preliminary demonstration which de-
layed the opening OF the convention
for more than hall an hour.
When Raymond Robins began his
address the convention crowd seemed
10 be waiting for a signal. II got IL
when the chairman referred TO Roosc-
welt as 'the worlds foremost citizen"
and the demonstration followed
Outburst for 7. r.
Banners and stanchions were car
ried about the hall by enthusiastic
delegates, and at 2;ls p. m, an hour
after the republican national conyen-
ton had adjourned, nc officers Of the
convention still we, waiting for the
Roosevelt acclaim to snbside.
Al the end % an hour Mr.. Perkins
left the hall ard went to his hotel.
Prior TO his departure the question

Every two or three minutes Mr..
Robins made futile attempts to rap
the convention to order
All 2:J0 p. M. when the tulnult had
dinned for nearly an hour and half,
the presiding officers considered try
ing the influence Of uniformed police
to restore order. but cautious ones
thought the experiment might prove
dangerous,
To Break Cheer Record.
What did we come for but to cheer
for Teddy" some of the delegates
asked when urged 10 aid in Suppress
ing their associates.
II was evident the purposes Of the
delegates was to break the record for
sustained cheering. This was vari-
ously estimated from eighty-seven
minutes to more thar two hours. No
one seemed TO know just what II was.
After conclusion of Mr.. Robins
speech, committees on temporary or
ganizaton we're announced, and on
motion Of Mr.. Harold lckes Of Illi-
nois they were approved
The progressive convention at 3:55

OF THE CONVENTION
Temporary Chairman Hardings Say
This is Time for Reunion and
Reconstruction.
COUNTRY WEARY OF BLUNDERs

Coliseum, Chicago, June 7.-~The re-
publican national convention, after a
two-and-a-half-hour meeting today,
adjourned until i o'clock tomorrow
morning after hearing the keynote
speech by Senator Harding Of Ohio
and doing the usual preliminary or
ganization work
Emphasizing that It was not time
for recrimination, but Of reconsecra-
ton, Senator Harding urged the dele
gates TO forget the disastrous differ
enccs OF four years ago and plunge
into the coming campaign with a
declaration Of principles which would
bring success at the polls.
The convention received the tenn
porary chairman's speech with pune
tuations Of applause and cheers and
his sallies against the democratic adj
minstration with laughter and hand
clapping, =.
Mr.. Harding spoke about an hour
and closed with a perofation on
Americanism and rcpublicanism. The
close Of his address was greeted by a
brief outburst Of hand clapping and
cheering lasting less than minute.
More Rhetoric Than Resolution.
Referring TO the administration
foreign policy in the European war,
Senator Harding declared that il had
spoken with more rhetoric than reso-
luton. Mexican negotiations he des-
eribed as the greatest fiasco in Ameri-
can foreign relations. He paid tribute
to Americanism OF foreign birth with
brief reference to the few zealots
whow ould impugn the nations neu-
trality and urged fraternity Of Amer
ican republics under the Monroe doe
trine. Advocating adequate national
defense he charged the democratic
party with having interrupted rcpub-
lican naval construction and he criti-
cized the army reorganization bill

Bridgeport. An ordinance is being
drafted at the city hall which is to be

which will regulate the boxing game

which the game is regulated in New

Stanley of the police board passes on
applications for boxing show permits.
The number is limited to two a month
and the promoters are required to pest

MASSACHUSETTS
TO DEFY RULING
AGAINST 0UIMET

Boston, April 19-The Massachu-
sets Gold association at it's meeting
yesterday recognized Francis Ouin1et
John H Sullivan, Jr.. Arthur Lock
wood and Paul Tewksbury as anna
tours, despite the action of the United
States Gold association. which has de-
c1ared them in eligible to participate
in tournaments because of their affiI-
iations with sporting goods houses
The Massachusetts Golf association
haS/given all four golfers a rating in
the handicap list of 1915, making
them eligible to represent Massachu-
sets in the national amateur cham
pionship. Ouimet is rated as plus
one, heading the list.
This is a tangle, which the national
body will have to settle. and the task
is going to be a difficult one,s according
to all reports. Many Bay State golfers
insist that an injustice has been done,
especially to Ouimet, and the action
has also been criticised in other sec
lions. Harry L. Aver, president of
the State association, disc1ain1s any
intention of taking issue with the ruI-
ing Of the national body, saying that
no official word of its decisions has
been received

HARVARD NOT TO
NUMBER PLAYERS
IN GRIDlRON GAME

Cambridge, Mass, April 19.-When
the news from New Haven was re-
ceived at Cambridge yesterday to the
effect that the Yale football players
would wear numbers attached to their
jerseys next fall, Head Coach Percy
D. Haughton said that he did not
know just what Harvard;s attitude
would be in regard to the use Of the
number system at Cambridge.
The football committee, to which
Coach sHaughton is responsible, has in
years past decided against the use of
the mum bers, the committees point of
view being that the numbers are of
great help to the scouts of HarV ard's
opponents, and that with them it is
much easier for Harvard formations
to be diagnosed and the. plays fol-
lowed.
1t is possible, now that Yale has de-
cided to use the numbers, that the
matter wifi come before the athletic
association as well as before the foot
ball board. It is certain that some
alumni pressure will be brought to
bear to have the numbers used next
fall, but one Of the members OF the
committee said that he doubted
whether Harvard would follow Yale's
example

YALE CREW OFF
TO TACKLE Pen

New Haven, April 19-Accompan-
led by Chief Coach Guy Nickalls and
other crew coaches, two Yale crews
and substitutes left her yesterday af-
ternoon for Philadelphia to prepare
for the race with Pennsylvania on
the Schuylkil1 next Saturday.
The oarsmen plan to row twice daily
until the day of the race. They
will try the two-ni1e course at top
speed, either today or tomorrow, but
will do comparatively little work on
Friday.
Nickal1s said: .The crews are do
ing Quite well, considering the ex-
trenely short time they have been
on the water. It is impossible to pre-
dict anything regarding the race on
saturday"
Two shells which will be used in
the races on Saturday were shipped
to Philadelphia. Both are of Amer
lean make. One was presented by
Major Louis Stoddard '9s, and is brand
new. The other, the John Hart, was
presented by Colonel L. C. f. Robin
son, of Hartford, and was used by the
Yale eight in it's race against Harvard
last year.

BRIDGEPORT MANAGEMENT
DICKERING WITH BOULTES.
The Bridgeport baseball Tnagnates
received Jake Boultes' address this
morning and proceeded to get into
touch with him at his home in St.
LOUIS. IF he cares to come here as a
player instead of manager they may
sign him for the local inf1eld. Joe
Byrne the third baseman secured from
Chester, Pa, of the Delaware County
league, looked great in practice yes
terday but he could probably play
is signed. Jolly Jake is anxious to
play in this city, according to friends
who have heard from him.
Judging by the looks of those who
took part in the clubs first practice
at Newhe1d park, yesterday the
Bridgeport club has secured two or
three likely looking players in the
bunch that reported. Third Baseman
Byrne is a young fellow who handles
himself well and Harry Edwards the
former New Britain outf1eIder, looked
great.
Bill Martin and Martin Walsh, VIII O
are experienced fingers, appear to be
in condition, while Kingston. a, young
ster from New York, looks like the
best of the hurting recruits. Tony
