FOOTBALL WEATHER
At LAKE CHARLES
Athletics and Houston Will
Hardly Play Today Owing to
Sudden Cold Spell
FIRST GAME CALLED OFF

Sr'cId' Dispatch ~ Ertriuo Pubic LsdG'r
Lake Charles, In. March 20.-Idcal
football weather greeted Connie Mack's
band of athletes this morning. and the
chances are that the second game Of
the series between the Mackmen and
Houston schduled for this afternoon will
go by the boards.
The initial contest Of three game
series was scheduled for yesterday aft
ernoon. but sudden change in the at
mosphere put the kibosh on baseball
and hasty retreat was made by all
hands for indoors, where the surround
ings were more agreeable.
The change was 80 sudden that in less
than six hours there was a drop of
some 40 degrees in the thermometer,
and according 20 the natives these cold
spells last for a few days when they
reach town. In that case the series
with Houston may be at end before II
ever started.
Yesterday morning some of the play &.
ers managed tn get in few hours
workout bundled in sweaters. but be :
fore noon Manager Mack predicted
there would be no game, but the Hous-
ton and Athletic players started for the
ball park just the same.
The turnout was so slim that before
game time the mo. game sign was
hung out and the athletes we're lucky to
get back to the hotel and hug the radia- .
tors.
From today until the team leaves
here there will be no more morning
practice. There are regular ball hawks
| that could no more be kept away from
the ball park than they could from the
dining room at mealtime. They will
| manufacture all sorts of excuses To
walk down to the park, climb into their
uniforms and toss q ball around.
