Henry J. Bonura wants to be back in that dear Chicago.
 Zeke Bonura has been kicking himself ever since the White Sox swapped him to Washington for Joe Kuhel last spring.
 Bonura held out violently and consistently. He stalled himself out of Comiskey park, where he did so well and was so well liked. The huge Italian was voted the most popular player in Chicago in 1897.
 He telephoned Louis Coniiskey from New Orleans the instant he

heard that he hao been traded pleaded to have the.de cancelled.
 Now he doesn't care whether he lands with the Pale Hose or Cubs, just so long as he returns to Chi cago.
 T want to get away from Washington" says Bonura. "I'd go better in either Chicago park. I feel better in Chicago. I hit bet ter in Chicago"
 Repentant, Bonura would even get along with Jimmy Dykes, who didn' t like his attitude at times and his appetite always. There was the fall of 1884, when Zeke failed to show up for the final White Sox game in Cleveland . because he wanted to finish with 300 abtting average.
