Editor FL Paso Herald
For the benefit of future occasions
of the kind, I wish to inform the en-
tertainment committee of the Chicago
White Sox smoker that most AL major
league bali players are gentlemen OF
the first degree, particularly is this true
of the Old Romans boys.
The entertainment given the Sox was
good in sports. The extra Herald. the
presenting Of the hats TO the guests,
and the athletic work was the bulk OF
the good things The Herald smoker
extra made a decided hit with the
crowd.
The features of the occasion, however.
which would create a distinct nausea to
any gentleman was a line of putrid talk
in Italian dialect. Today such as this
from the sewer to entertain an intelli-
gent crowd which has true sense OF
humor and is on edge for real fun, was
a mistake and whoever was responsible
for this sordid stuff should apologize to
our Chicago visitors.
