From Long Trip.
By Sam Crane.

8%TEW YORK, Jan. 27.-While the
IN McGraw -Comiskey Callahan
tourists on their around the
world trip have been more or less OBJ
vious to all this baseball disturbance
that has been stirred up by the Fed
eral League, they will be brought
plumb up against 1t 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-
KEY, McGraw ct al. may be vividly
4 Impressed by the inroacg that have
been made on organized baseball by
| the Fearsome Feds.
/ The reception to be given the re-
turning 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
Hand can equal the tourists own
friends in the warmth or variety of
. the proceedings that will surround
the greeting accorded the wanderers
4
4 home
And that Is the dear old word that
4 carries with 1t everything and more
, than all the wealth of kindness and
hospitality that has been showered on
them abroad.
CHICAGO will join with New York
y IN giving the home corners a
mn1 l.,
City friends of the popular Charley
Comlskey, 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.
The tourists have made baseball
history, 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
the National League.
President Ban Johnson appointed
Frank Farrell (chairman), Joseph
H the American League, and President
4 Tener has named Harry Hampstead
(charman), w. F. Baker and John
Heydler to represent the National

THERE will be other committees

Of Chicago and New York, and doubt

as well as Presidents Tenner and
4 Johnson. Local fans, as well as
/ those Of Chicago. will be on hand to
4 take part in the reception, and we
i can rest assured that Harry Stevens,
4 Louis Mann, DeWolf Hopper and
. DINERS will be foremost in taking care
i OF local fandom.
When the first baseball around
4 tne-World tourists, under the leader
4 snip Of Albert G. SpaldiRg, returned
mere IN the spring of 1889 there was
no public banquet given, but the
players and members OF the party
were taken In charge by their per-
sonal friends, and the greetings, while
more quiet. were not less cordial
'han the ones to come.
/ 'ue HOSI notaDle form OF tHIS re
ception will probably be a mammoth
banquet, to be given the night OF the
return, and it is thought that fully
MOO persons will attend.
The managers and players OF the
Giants and White Sox, who are now
on tour will be obliged to hasten to
their respective training camps so
soon that there will be no opportunity
gven-as there was In 1SS9-for the
paying of any games; consequently,
me banquet will be the one big fea-
,ure Of the reception-but that, sure

express the heartfelt warmth OF the
greetings
