|B[AD RECEPTION
FOR TOUR|STSON
|IRRIvA[ IN N. !.
Big Leagues to Join Hands in
Welcoming GIobeTrotters
From Long Trip.
BY Sam Crane.

In vEW YORK, Jan. 27.-While the
IN McGraw -Comiskey Callahan
tourists on their around the
|yorld trim have been more or less OBJ
yious o all this baseball disturbance
HAT has been stirred up by the Fed
|eral League, they will be brought
|pumb up against it on their arrival
En- New York, around about March 6.
We are not of the opinion that the
|shock Of contact will be startling
enough to bring back to the globe
Llrclers any reminders of their rough
|riD on the peaceful Pacific from
Vancouver to Japan. Still Comis-
|key McGraw ct al. may be vividly
by the inroads that have
been made on organized baseball by
the Fearsope Feds.
The reception to be given the re-
Edrning baseball boomers has not vet
Fully taken shape, but those who have
he affair in charge will see to it that
b. Australia or any other foreign
land can equal the tourists own
Friends in the warmth or variety of
+he proceedings that will surround
HE greeting accorded the wanderers
hn their return to their native shores
home
And that is the dear old word that
Rarries with it everything and more
fhan all the wealth of kindness and
hospitality that has been showered on
|hem abroad.
EHICAGO will join with New York
n in giving the home corners
syelcome over three hundred Windy
&ty friends of the popular Charley
Xpmiskey, 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
Friends of the Giants, will help out to
tmake the reception one of the most
memorable in the history Of the Ma
Stlonal game.
The tourists have made baseball
Ehstory, and the home welcome will
be Just as historical.
/ The official committees of the
american and National Leagues have
|been appointed and were given out
yesterday by Secretary Heydler, of
Ethe National League.
President Ban Johnson appointed
Frank Farrell (chairman), Joseph
cannon and Ben Shibe to represent
he American League. and President
ETener has named Harry Hampstead
chairman. w. F. Baker and John
|1eydler to represent the National
League.
HERE will be other committees
appointed to represent the cities
II Chicago and New York, and doubt
Tess the National Commission will be
REPRESENTED by Chairman Hermann,
p well as Presidents Tenner and
|Johnson. Local fans, as well as
hose of Chicago, will be on hand to
1 axe part in the reception, and we
Ean rest assured that Harry Stevens.
louis Mann, DeWolf Hopper and
EtnerS will be foremost in taking care
II local fandom
When the first baseball around
/ e-world tourists, under the leader
Enp Of Albert G. Spalding, returned
Fnere in the spring of 1889 there was
r. public banquet given, but the
prayers and members of the party
were taken in charge by their per
fonal friends, and the greetings, while
aore quiet, were not less cordial
nan the ones to come.
The most notable form of this re-
Eention will probably be mammoth
banquet, to be given the night of the
return and il. is thought that fully
one persons will attend.
lhe managers and players of the
Ilants and White SoX, who are now
|pn tour, will be obliged to hasten to
|Ueir respective training camps so
Soon that there will be no opportunity
sVen-as there was in 1SS9-for the
paying of any games; consequently,
ne banquet will be the one big fea-
lure Of the reception-but that, sure
" will cover everything necessary to
Express the heartfelt warmth of the
greetings.
