By BYRON PRICE (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington.)

The National Convention has been a fixture in American history for exactly a century, and there seems no prospect of finding an acceptable substitute, although good many would like to.
 Despite all it's noise and glam- our, the average convention does little real work.
 More often than not, the candi- date either is determined before hand as in the case of the Re- publicans this year, or he actually is chosen by group of dozen or so leaders, as may be the case with the Democrats.
 The platform except for one or two controversial blanks, is writ ten long in advance at conferences of party chieftains, and in the end very small coberie works out a compromise on the remain ing controversies, and the conven- tion accepts it.
 There are exceptions, of course, but an analysis of political his tory probably would show that in nine conventions out of 10, 49 out of every 50 delegates might just as well have stayed at home fer all the influence they have had on party decisions.
 Even most of the important speeches which represent emotion al highpoints of the convention proceedings are all cut and dried beforehand.
 That is particularly true of the speeches of Temporary Chairmen called by long custom the party "keynotes. These speeches often sound to the public ear like spon- taneous outbursts of wisdom, but when they are examined closely it will be found that they contain little that is really new, and noth- ing that verges on dangerous ground.
 The truth is that the keynote speech is passed around among the leaders of all factions and re- vised over and over in cases where there is doubt as to the political effect.

ing In two subsequent bouts and won
them both on close decisions.
Express Is Willy
But Battalino had gained his most
notable victories by his eternal ag-
gressiveness and he thought he could
whip Petrolle that way. But Billy
was too willy for him. AS Battalino
tore In, Billy retreated, firing da1nag-
ing punches into Bats face and body.
In the third round he nailed Battalino
with smashing right uppercut that
slashed the Hartford boys nose to the
bone and before the bout was over
Battalino was bleeding from cuts over
both eyes as we'll as from the nose.
Through round after round Batta-
limo gamely stood up under terrific
punishment but he finally weakened
in the 18th. Two smashing punches
to the body made Battalino sway. An
other volley to the head sent him
Keeling into the ropes. Still he re-
fused to 60 down but he obviously was
out on his feet and Referee Gunboat
Smith stepped in and awarded the
, fight to Petrolle on technical knock
out.
Petrolle weighed 1879 pounds; Bat
talino 1875.

Victory Over Former

New York, March 25.-(F-Perhaps

that Billy Petrolle never gets a whack

Connie Mack's Formidable Ar
ray Aim to Take Fourth
Straight Pennant

Jacksonville. Fla. March 25.-tR-
Faith in the New York Yankees, hope
in the Washington Senators. and q
charitable belief in the potency OF
precedent may combine to make
things tough for the Philadelphia
Athletics in this years American
League pennant race!
Even so, it is extremely difficult
to figure just how Connie Mack's
formidable cast can be stopped from
making it four In row, and a league
record, unless the opposition has some
novel plans, hitherto concealed, to
check Grove, Earnshaw, Walberg
Simmons, Cockrane and Foxx.
So long as the AS have this six
play backbone, they cannot be regard
ed otherwise than as strong favoritea
to win again the American League
flag. Their pitching outclasses that
of any other club In the league. They
have the punch to slug 1t out with any
rival, even the Yankees, and Connie
Mack's reserve strength looks to be
even better
Holds Team Intact
Mack is the only American League
manager who has ever held q cham
pionship combination virtually intact
for more than three seasons.
Except for q reversible infield fea-
ture, by which Foxx moves to third
and the newcomer, Oscar Roettger,
to first. the Athletics will start the
1892 season with the same lineup that
dropped the world series to the Car
dinalS.
Mack admits real fear Of the YAM
KEGS and their ''murderers' row" but
