world trip have been more or less OBJ
livious 10 all this baseball disturbance
that has been stirred UP by the Fed
eral League they will be brought
plumb up against it on their arrival
n New York, around about March g.
We are not of the opinion that the
Iock of contact will be startling
enough to bring back to the globe
crclers any reminders of their rough
rip on the peaceful Pacific from
Vancouver to Japan. Still, Comis-
key McGraw ct al, may be wildly
Impressed by the inroads that have
been made on organized baseball by
the Fearsome Feds.
THE reception to be given the re-
.rn.ng baseball boomers has not yet
fully taken shape, but those who have
the affair in charge will see to it that
DO Australia or any other foreign
land can equal the tourists own
friends in the warmth or variety of
the proceedings that will surround
the greeting accorded the wanderers
on their return to their native shores
home
And that is the dear old word that
ries with it everything and more
than all the wealth of kindness and
hospitality that has been showered on
lem abroad.
CHICAGO will Join with New York
y in giving the home corners a
welcome. over three hundred Windy
city friends of the popular Charley
romskey the "Old Roman" and his
White Sox will be here to receive the
party, While possibly as many more
New Workers, pals of McGraw and

make the reception one of the most
memorable in the history of the Ma
tioral game.

no public banquet given, but the
PLAYERS and members of the party
We're taken in charge by their per
sonal friends, and the greetings while
more quiet, were not less cordlal
man the ones to come.
The most notable form of this re-
nep,ion viii probably be a mammoth
banquet, 70 be given the night of the

1000 persons will attend.
The managers and players of the
Giants and White SoX. VINO are now
