the people made our visit something to
be long remembered. Big crowds turned
out at nearly every game, the largest up

Yes. Davis team got defeated a few
times, but that didn't worry the boys
any. They are nearly all handicapped by
sore arms. Barry was about the worst
of all. Jacks arm was SO sore that he
couldn't throw the ball across the dia-
mOnd, and SO he was shifted over to
second base and Derrick played short.
The boys. when they found their arms
were not in shape, concluded not to take
any chances and not one of them suf-
fered any injury.
Frank Bancroft. who managed the
tour: Jack Coombs and his bride and
Derrick are now on their way to New
Orleans by steamship. Harry Davis and
his wife. Topsy Hartsel and his wife, and
Chief Bender and his wife decided not
to come home for the holidays. but they
