The great majority of us retired early, but the sleep that we got was scarcely worth talking about, as Tom Daly, whose propensity for practical jokes was unbounded, kept the car in a roar of laughter.

No one was exempt that could be reached, and as a result there was no sleep for any of us.
At Cedar Rapids, where we arrived Tuesday morning, we were the recipients of quite an ovation, and our cars, which had been switched on a side-track near the Union Depot, attracted as much attention as though they contained a whole menagerie instead of a few traveling ball players.

Special trains were run in from adjacent towns, and long before the hour set for the game the town was crowded with visitors.

The day was a beautiful one and the crowd that assembled at the grounds would have done credit to a League city, the attendance numbering 4,500.

A crowd like that deserved to see a good game, and that is what they were treated to, the score being a tie in the fifth inning and again in the eighth, it then standing at five each.
