augurate a honeymoon special The

load of blushing brides and tongue
tied bridegrooms.
However. a story was printed about
the train and the brides read it. Would
they go through Omaha, Kansas City
and other towns where the inhabitants
snapshot everything in sight?
No.
The brides saw themselves on the
train and their pictures being distrib-
uted through the newspapers of the
country. as they stood on the rear
platform of the observation car lean
ing upon the bridegrooms arm, while
he tried to look comfortable.
They could not stand that. SO they
wrote in, at least 20 of them did, and
said they would cake other trains
So last night the widely advertised
honeymoon special did not start.
The newly married couples took train
No. 1, which left early in the evening
and were whiried away to the coast
like ordinary travellers.

denials from President Murphy of the
National League club, who said the in
vasion would bring on a baseball war
that would never end until one side or
the other had been annihilated. Presi-
dent Comiskey of the American League
club when asked if he would try to
keep an association out, said: mo use
trying to keep them out. for it looks
as if they are already in Besides,
there is no legal way to keep them out.
The American Association has per-
feet right to put a team into Chicago
and 1 feel like saying: Welcome to our
city.
''Of course continued Comiskey,
their action would be against base
ball law. If that league wants to bolt
from organized baseball it is own their
business. Chicago baseball public is the
party to decide whether another league
shall come in or not. I came in with
out being invited and it is not for me
to say that somebody else may not do
the same" Callahan was wrathy when
told of Murphy's objections.
