Well Al I bet them N.Y. giants will wish I would of went home before
they come for this here exibishun game because my arm feels grate and
I will show them where they would be at if they had to play ball in
our league all the time though I supose they is some pitchers in our
league that they would hit good against them if they can hit at all
but not me. You will see in the papers how I come out and I will write
and tell you a bout it.
Your pal, JACK.
_Chicago, Ill., Oct. 25._
OLD PAL: I have not only got a little time but I have got some news for
you and I knowed you would want to hear all a bout it so I am writeing
this letter and then I am going to catch the train. I would be saying
good by to little Al instead of writeing this letter only Florrie wont
let me wake him up and he is a sleep but may be by the time I get this
letter wrote he will be a wake again and I can say good by to him. I
am going with the White Sox and giants as far as San Francisco or may
be Van Coover where they take the boat at but I am not going a round
the world with them but only just out to the coast to help them out
because they is a couple of men going to join them out there and untill
them men join them they will be short of men and they got a hole lot of
exibishun games to play before they get out there so I am going to help
them out. It all come off in the club house after the game to-day and
I will tell you how it come off but 1st I want to tell you a bout the
game and honest Al them giants is the luckyest team in the world and
it is not no wonder they keep wining the penant in that league because
a club that has got there luck could win ball games with out sending no
team on the field at all but staying down to the hotel.
