where the White Sox training camp is
located
The train was run as the second sec
ton of the Overland Limited and was
composed of sixteen cars in all and
they were all electric lighted and OF
the most modern construction. Steel
coaches, palace sleeping coaches, OBJ
servation car, combination baggage
and buffet car and two diners went to
make up the greatest special train
that has ever passed through Denison.
Altogether the party included over
100 souls with some forty odd ball
players-many of them accompanied
by their wives, baseball scribes, fans
and close friends of the famous Old
Roman himself, who invariably makes
this spring trip across the continent,
and bugs picked up at the different
cities along the route.
The White Sox bunch itself con-
sisted of the following regulars and
recruits:
Manager James ]. Callahan.
Catchers-Wm. Sullivan, Walter
Kuhn, Ray Schalk, Ted Easterly, John
Gossett.
Pitchers-Doc White, Ed Walh, Jas.

This is, without an exception, the
most stupendOus and most elaborate
training trip ever taken by Chief Co
miskey or any other magnate who ever
lived, and will cost the White Sox club
something over $4,000.
OF the many special trains that
Comiskey has INDUCED in, this is the
Erandest and most startling achieve
nent of them all. The equipment is
electric lighted throughout and con
sists of open section and compartment
Pullman sleeping cars of the most
modern type. Bulletins giving the lat
est news aboard are being given out
by skilled newspaper men for whose
benefit in coy hooks are located
desks and typewriters, with complete
facilities for correspondence, includ'
ing the services of three adept stenog'
raphers. Three noted chefs are in
charge of the diners, and deliciously
cooked meals, comprising all the seas
on's choicest delicacies are served
with the promptitude and regularity
of the best and most metropolitan no.
tel in the country.
The party reached Paso Robes,
Hot Springs, early Monday morning
and Manager Callahan Immediately
nut his men on the field.
Paso Robes is not only magnifi'
cent health resort, but one of the most
popular pleasure and rest resorts
along all the wondrous coast, and the
members of the Old Romans family
are indeed in for one of the memoir
able epochs of their lives.
The Northwestern issued a beauti'
ful pamphlet of the itinerary OF the
trip and containing the pictures OF
many of the men of the White SoX
team.
