After the speechmaking and the flag
hosting the teams got busy in practice
amid the admiring plaudits of the populace.
The Sox fired the ball as though they were
on electric needles. Washington's work was
not so brilliant or pyrotechnical, but made
good impression just the same. A large
proportion Of the fans looked for a WASH
ington win. on the theory that the home
| team never wins on big celebration day.
1t was assuredly great day in Chicago.
This is the great day of base ballthe day
for which Chicago fans have waited for
| more than two decades. This is the day
when the great flag, the emblem of worlds
champions honors, went to the masthead
| at Pennant Park, and all the base ball
world gives one long whoop for Charles
Comiskey and the White Sox of Chicago.
When the broad banner broke from the
towering staff today Charles Comiskey had

| not only unfurled championship flag, won
by his warriors in fair fight, and the first
flag Chicago ever foated with such glory,
but he gave back something he took away
| long, long ago. More than twenty years
back there was another championship
struggle and Chicago lost, while .Comiskey
led the men who won. And now, returning
to Chicago. the glory comes back--and' Co
miskey brings it here. Talk about the ro-
nance of base ball-where was there ever a
stranger or prettier history?
City officials on Hand.
The high muck a -mucks Of the city and
county got quite an inning while the flag
assembled. Mayor Busse was there-they
couldn't keep him away with an ak. He
was slated to pitch a ball, with Chief
Shippy as the backstop. Fred Busse used
to have lots Of speed. and the chief needed
a heavy glove. All the aldermen. members
of the county board and high officials sur
rounded Comiskey and the mayor showed
the admiring public vision Of silk and
embonpoint. -
