Charles Comiskey, President of the Chicago Club, was sufficiently recov- ered from his attack of acute indiges- tion to accompany the players to the Vatican and the Pope showed his es- pecial attention.

The Pope greeted the visitors with great cordiality, He thanked them for their visit and in a short addresa praised the practice of athletic sports for the strengthening of the body and at the same time the practice of religian to strengthen the soul.
