able meeting place for it's 1916 ma
tional convention. The arrangements
or the hall are declared to be superior
to those OF any hall ever used by the
party for a similar purpose, and credit
is given Colonel William F. Stone, of
baltimore, Sergeant-at-armS of the ma
tional committee, who had full charge
Of preparing the hall He personally
supervised the work Of arranging tho
partys national convention halls in
1904, 1908 and 1912.
In planning the press section, which
contains nearly 700 seats, and desks
for the use of newspaper men who will
report the convention proceedings.
Colonel Stone has made every possible
provision for the convenience and com
fort of those employed in this import
ant work. There are sufficient exits to
give easy access to every part of tho
hall. and special exits leading to the
large telegraph and telephone room,
In the basemnt of the coliseum annex.
where hundreds Of special wires have
been installed to connect the conven-
aon hall with the outside world.
He has established n restaurant. an
emergency hospital. and a branch post
Office. for the use of delegates and
others. When James B. Reynolds. sec
rotary OF the Republican National Com
mtttee, undertook the task of allotinc
tickets to the various news associations
and newspapers OF the country, he
found there were more than 5000 ap-
Dlications for the 700 seats provided.
He is now preparing the temporary
roll OF delegates and alternates for the
convention. and later will compile the
evidence in the contest cases to be
heard by the national committee on

REJUVENATED GIANTS
WONDERS OF BASEBALL
Eyes Of Fans Focused on Muggsy McGraw's Men, Who
Have Placed Sixteen Straight Wins to Their Credit
and Now Are Near Top of National Heap.

NEW YORK. May 2S.-The interest
sof the baseball world was focused in
1he week just closed OF the remarkable
record of the New ork Nationals.
The rejuvenated Giants, who were able
to win only two out of their first fif-
teen games this season, now have an
snnbroken string of sixteen victories.
knd have risen from last position to
second place, where they are within
two games OF the Brooklyn leaders.
The sixteen straight wins took tho fol-
lowers of the game completely by sur
prise because of the abrupt reversal OF
fHorm and the consistent good playing
TN all departments.
HOPE THEY WILL SURPASS
J'RESENT WORLDS RECORD
W The aEgressiveness developed by the
IGiantE leads many of their followers
to hope they will not stop until they
have equaled or surpassed the worlds

e The eastern clubs, by virtue of the
success OF their western invasion, vir-
afually monopolize the first positions In
the Cleveland Americans. The first in
rasion of the West. which ended on
& "Wednesday, resulted in the eastern
clubs Of the National League winning
thirty~fve games and losing nineteen,
while the eastern teams of the younger

and were unable to better their posi-
lions appreciably.
In the American League the feature
of the week was the fight between
Washington and Cleveland for first
place. The Senator's went into the
lead early in the week, only to be dis
lodged by the Indians. but they got
back into the coveted position on Sat-
urday by winning n double-headcr from
Philadelphia, while Cleveland was idle
Clovclnnds double defeat yesterday by
Chicago strengthened WashinEton's

CLEVELAND FAILS TO DO
BETTER THAN RREtK EVEN
Cleveland was unable TO do better
than split even during tho week. VIM
ming two games and losing two. WASH
ingtcn won five. lost one and tied
one. Good pitching and strong Of
tense has helped Washington, while
Cleveland's good showint, may be at
trihuted in no small way to the In
dividual playing Of Iris Speaker and
John Graney.
Tho form displayed by tho New York
Americans was another of the fea-
lures of the week. The Yankees won
five straight games chiefly through the
hitting of Leslie Nunamakcr who leads
the American League battcrs; Paddy
Baumann, who is relieving Frank Baker
during the latter's indisposition; Ma
geo and Pipp.
Tho champion Boston Americans took
three straight games from Detroit last
week, but then lost three straight in
their series with New York. Largely
because OF poor pitching and the fail
.urc of Cobb and some of tho others to
strike their stride. the Detroit Tigers
continued to lose during the week,
winning only one game and dropping
into sixth position. Chicago PLAYED
only three games, winning one and
losing ono and playing a tic with
Washington on Thursday. Neither the
Athletics nor St Louis made any
progress. each losing three games and
winning two.

NEW YORK, May ga declaration

Waite's demeanor underwent q
change to-day. and he lost much OF the
mask Of indifference which he has
maintained since his removal to prison..
He slept fitfully last night, and ap.
peared nervous when he arose.
He expressed desire to attend re-
lgious services. and was one of those
who heard the Rev, ]. Callahan preach
