COMISKEY,S FEED
AMPLY FILLING
FATHER OF WHITE STOCKINGS
DELIGHTFUL HOST
Resolutions Are Adopted After Chew
Fest Last Night to Defeat the
Sox Again This After
noon

No old Roman from the seven hills
of Julius Caesars native village ever
made more emphatic home run in the
estimation of the populace than did
Charlie Comiskey with every last man
who put his feet under the hospitable
Chicagoan's table last night.
In the words of Mayor Harper, there
are political banquets and temperance
banquets and banquets inspired by
every other line of endeavor" but the
jovial father of Windy City baseball
sat the leading rooters of Los Angeles
(the tourist pronunciation, please)
down to one of the most filling BAN
outs" ever toted In, on the installment
plan, by white gloved walters in this
city.
The society editor says to always
tell what the decorations were, but
really 1t was hard to discern the color
of the flowers and "greenery' when
Jim Jeffries' benign mug, hidden always
by a huge glass of buttermilk, loomed
up in front of the blossoms, and Earl
Rogers noise drowned out the din or
the place cards.
r. e. 'Cantwell, the secretary of the
White Sox Rooters' association, ofnclal-
ly called the orators to the bat when,
honestly. most of them were too fuli
for utterance.
Tom Mack began dreaming" early,
but it was only a solo and he was sac
rificed safely by Cornelius Pendieton,
who was announced as the only living
specimen of a rooter who had SLID sue
cessfully into a federal office
Hens Speech Astounding
Our Hens spiel was the masterpiece
of the night and showed hours OF
burning of the midnight oil in prepa-
ration. Clearing his throat, the tren-
zied financier of the local diamond slt-
uation assumed a dramatic attitude
and said as follows: Gentlemen, wnen
first l scanned this aggregation l
thought it was a bunch of good fell
lows, but now l see that 1t is only
collection of damphools," and then the
ilustrious Henri parted his coattalls
and sat down.
These quotations are not given to
fiatter the authors, but as shining ex-
amples of the formality of the gather-
ing, Following the rhetorical climaxes
Chairman Cantwell in behalf OF the
Chicago visitors extended toast TO
.sthe most enthusiastic and hospitable
citizens of the largest city in the
United States, Chicago not counted.
and moved for the adoption OF resoiu-
tions to give the best bush league
team that ever donned uniform the
most Outrageous walloping" that
nine ever had this afternoon. The mo-
ton was heartily seconded by Joe
Ferrell. but was overruled by the ma
jority in the house.
So, there you have 1t. White Sox
and Angels, their friends and support
ers temporarily smoked the peace
pipe last night. but today hostilities
will be renewed on the Acres and every
native son and many adopted Califor-
mans who wet their throats last night
will holler them hoarse again today to
send the, Stockings away with third
defeat on their shoulders.
