world trip have been more or less OBJ
ivious TO all this baseball disturbance
hat has been stirred UP by the Fed
eral League, they will be brought
plumb up against it on their arrival
In New York, around about March g.
We are not of the opinion that the
shock of contact will be startling
enough to bring back to the globe
circlers any reminders of their rough
trip on the peaceful Pacific from
Vancouver to Japan. Still, Comis-

Impressed by the inroads that have
been made on organized baseball by
the Fearsome Feds
The reception to be given the re-
tdrning baseball boomers has not yet
fully taken shape, but those who have
the affair in charge will see to it that
no 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

carries with 1t everything and more
han all the wealth of kindness and
hospitality that has been showered on
hem abroad.
CHICAGO will join with New York
y in giving the home corners
welcome. Over three hundred Windy
city friends of the popular Charley
Comiskey. 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
make the reception one of the most
memorable in the history of the Ma
tional game.

history, and the home welcome will
be Just as historical.
