ous Al but anyway I want you and Bertha to be sure and come up for our wedding. I will let you know the date as soon as Hazel gets here.
The serious starts Tuesday and this town is wild over it. The Cubs finished second in their league and we was fifth in ours but that don't scare me none. We would of finished right on top if I had of been here all season.
Callahan pitched one of the bushers against Detroit this afternoon and they beat him bad. Callahan is saveing up Scott and Allen and Russell and Cicotte and I for the big show. Walsh isn't in no shape and neither is Benz. It looks like I would have a good deal to do because most of them others can't work no more than once in four days and Allen ain't no good at all.
We have a day to rest after to-morrow's game with the Tigers and then we go at them Cubs.
Your pal,Jack.
P.S. I have got it figured that Hazel is fixing to surprise me by dropping in on me because I haven't heard nothing yet.
Chicago, Illinois, October 7.
Friend Al: Well Al you know by this time that they beat me to-day and tied up the serious. But I have still got plenty of time Al and I will
