situation he faced during the spring he
was In charge OF the No. 2 squad Of White
soN Just before he quit the big league.
The last stop on the schedule was Peoria,
aud Comiskey had reduced Isbelrs forces
by dlsposlng Of youngsters until only nine
players we're left when, accompanied by
ono lone war scribe, the party landed in
Peoria on a cold raw April morning. Roy
Patterson was one OF the nine and he had
to 40 to bed Immediately with a severe
attack Of tonsiitis, which made It impossi-
BILE for him to play and criminal to at

or anything to prevent that game except
for the fact that there was a guarantee
OF t16 coming to the soN II It was played,

No. squad needed that t76 to keep ahead

the Peoria club knew he had only eight

game, Of course and rightfully withhold
the guarantee.

finally corralled the biggest applicant for
the position OF bstboy who appeared at the
hotel. and put him in uniform then went
to the grounds trying to think what sort
of bluff would fool the veteran manager
OF the Peoria team, Hugh Nicol.
In the preliminary practice Just as few
flies as possible were batted to the ringer
In the right field, and, while it was in
progress, lsbel slipped over to Manager
Nico on the bench and confided TO him
that Comskey had sent only. nine men ia
Peoria, intending to use a pitcher in right
field, but that the player really was too
sick to remain out any longer in that
kind OF weather and he would like as a
personal favor to send him back to the

ANOTHER BIG DAY
DESPITE The rain
ALTHOUGH THE RAIN CAME THIS
MORNING THERE WAS LITTLE
CESSATION IN THE CROWDS
COalNG HERE.
The concert of the afternoon con-

The concert of the afternoon con-
tanned many of the best numbers of
the bands repertoire, and the great
audience expressed fits satisfaction
with the musicians in a manner as
to bring forth encores. There was
"a splendid feeling existing in the
palace and, it all portended to make
the day magnificent success, re-
sulting from what seemed poor
start for the day.
Trains Tomorrow
The Milwaukee road will run two
special trains tomorrow. one from
Canton, and one from Sioux City.
The Omaha road has arranged to
run one special train tomorrow,
coming from Sioux Falls, and re-
turning in the evening after the
concert at the corn palace is con-
cluded
1t is hard to stop the people from
coming to Mitchell for the corn pal
ace season, and they are breaking
through the rain and, bad weather
to get chance to see what the city
has to offer this year.
With the immense crowd yester-
day, the real expectations for today
were that the crowd would be equal
ly as large, if not larger. However.
when the rain started in before day
break this morning, the indications
were that the people would postpone
their trip to Mitchell and that the
attendance would be spoiled.
Such was not the case, however,
as was evidenced by the coming in of
the special trains over the Milwau-
kee and the Omaha roads. The spe-
cial from Flandreau coming via
|'Woonsocket had very large numb
ber of people, the railroad, officials
estimating the same at 700, while
the train from Platte over the Mil
waukee had nearly as many, about
$50. Accompanying the latter train
was the Platte band, composed most
ly of boys, who played during the
day. The west train from Cham
berlain had on 400 more and the
train from the north also brought in
about $50. The visitors were greet
ed by shower of rain, which made
them hunt cover. Fortunately it
lasted but a short time and before
the noon hour the sun commenced to
shine and finished off the day in fine
shape.
The report from the Omaha pas
senger train was also decidedly en-
couraging. The regular train
brought in 500 people and the spe-
cial that came at 1880 from Ha-
warden, Iowa, and Yankton, added
$50 more to the crowd already here.
With the arrivals of the trains
Main street was crowded nearly the
entire length OF the thoroughfare,
and it was indeed cheerful sight to
see such vast crowd on the rainy
day. This is the third day that 1t
has rained since the corn palace OPP
ened, and it breaks the record Of all
former years to encounter as much
rain during corn palace week. The
rain of the early morning prevented
a great number of people coming TO
the city via the automobile ronte,
and by this means doNbtless the
number in the city would have been
|greatly augmented. 8 N .s4s33 ~ ss
