WHAT ALLIED "PIPES?"

Who called off that game on the
South Side yesterday? Twas Connol-
ly, the smiling umpire with the siIvery
pipes. Who told Tommy to break the
sad news? All, That's the secrets!
Even Comiskey, the noblest of all Ro-
mans, hasn't been able to fathom the
mystery. Perhaps Connolly had inside
information from the weather bureau.
At any rate his monologue, delivered
at $50 before some 600 intrepid fans,
sounded the recall signal. and the son
and nap athletes vanished to reappear
today in a double bill.
