The Evanstonians had, apparently, slipped off golfing, bathing, picknicking, rubbernecking that day, or were all sleeping late. The Vice President was vexed, and Mayor Bartlett, too.

The stranger was Con- nery, scout for the St. Louis Cardinals; oilers had told Connery that there was a good player in Dennison.
