MOOSE NOMINATE
ROOSEVELT AGAIN
BUT COLONEL DECLINES PEND
ING THE PARTY'S DECISION
ON HUGHES POLICIES.
CONVENTION RAISES FUNDS
Hiram johnson of California Refuses
to Be Candidate for Vice President
John M. Parker of Louisiana
Accepts-DeIecates Leave.

Chicago.-Colonel Roosevelt was
nominated Saturday by the progress
i've national convention, after four
days of uproar and tumult in which
the delegates never wavered In allie
glance or cast a passing glance upon
another man.
For his running mate John M. Par
ker of Louisiana was nominated, after
Governor Hiram Johnson of Califor-
mia had declined to let his name go
before the convention. Both Roose-
welt and Parker were nominated by
reclamation.
Three minutes before the convention
adjourned until another time Chair
man Raymond Robins read a brief
message from Oyster Bay in which
Mr.. Roosevelt declined to accept the
nomination at this time.
Messages Meaning Lost.
Few of the thousands in the vast
Auditorium, some of whom had seen
the colonel named in an even wilder
burst of enthusiasm four years ago,
realized when Robins raped his gavel
at 4:58 and declared the convention
adjourned sine die that in few hours
or few weeks they might be a party
without the one leader to whom they
had come to Chicago to give the pledge
of loyalty and faith.
The significance of Colonel Roose-
velt's message with its announcement
that If the progressive national COM
mittee found the subsequent state
ments of Charles Evans Hughes, the
ing, his non-acceptance of the pro-
gressive nomination should stand as
his last word was lost in that tired
throng, worn out by it's own enthusi-
asm, by long delays over peace parleys
with the republicans and by the dis
cussion of platform on which it must
go into the field, if at ALL against both
the forces of democracy and repub-
licanism.
Pledge $4,000 to Campaign.
None of the feeling that some of
them later betrayed when they had
opportunity to digest the colonel's
statement had time to flare out when
the gavel fell They trooped out into
Chicago's streets for home, while the
band played family and the flags that
had Haunted so proudly through all
the stormy sessions were folded and
the banners put away.
Before they left the hall the dele
gates remembered one essential of
campaign. In response to the spur
of the leaders they had promised more
than $4,000 to carry on the fight. 1t
was pledged in enthusiasm, and the
contributions tumbled in almost as
fast as they could be recorded.

In fact in this sport Male 607.45 on baseball, while Harvard earned only $3.46s.s4. The Tigers did pretty well, making $S,69644 in a year. The baseball figures follow:

Harvard found foot ball more profitable than any of her rivals, although the sport cost the Crimson the most.

CALIFORNIA TENNIS
 STAR BEATEN BY GEORGE M. CHURCH

New York, July '21-George M. Church attained one of the notable achievements of the tennis year yes- terday afternoon when he defeated Willis B. Davis. of California, nation clay court champion, in the finals of the singles event at the Rockaway Hunting Club invitation tournament in straight sets. The score was 7-5, 6-4, 7-5. Not since he began competing in the east. early in the season, has the coast star bowed to the superior play of a rival contes- tant.
 Both men are noted for their net play and thrilling rallies predomin- ated in yesterdays match. Davis play, however, was sometimes only mediocre. The Californian did not have the steadiness which marked Churchs work, and the errors that piled up against, him did much to throw the balance in favor of the New Jersey contestant. Davis Mns been noted, since his arrival in the east, for his driving game, but yes- terday the strokes failed him, especi-l ally the backhand with its accen- tuated top.

 LMarkle seems to be about the only disappointing feature of this year s Yankee club. All the other players have proved better than any one ex- pected, but Markle, who started out like whirlwind, has been slipping back since the first few weeks of the season.
 There was only one redeeming fea- ture about the defeat of the Yankees yesterday. That was the defeat of the Boston Red Sox by Detroit, with the result that the Ruppert-HustonN Nbrig- ade still retains first place. in tho pen- nant scramble, The only player who doesn't seem to approve of them hold ing this exalted place is Markle, and he just can't help 1t.

 Marlxle didn't lose the plate yester- day until the third inning, and then he lost it so successfully that the Browns won the game on the strength of it.
 George Mogridge, who took up the thread of the afternoons story where Markle dropped it, pitched a good game. Markle left him with a very unfavorable legacy The bases were crowded and no one was sout when Manager Bill Donovan sent the pitcher word that the next train south on the elevated left at 4:20 p. m.
