was n heavy rain and lots OF lightning

pected there would he n game. But
Connie Mack wouldn't :et a little thing

When the schedule was drafted last
winter the Yanks were billed to play
here next Monday. but Monday Is a bad
day here. so Mack showed Mondays date
forward and announced a double header
would be played Tomorrow. He then
scheduled a little transforming trip EN-

storm was over. and one nour after the
scheduled time OF the game the two
teams took the field before their select
crowd. There were more bail players
