The schedule afforded the White Sox a rare two-day break in Chicago, but because owners liked money and off days presented none, they were supposed to play an exhibition game in Beloit, Wisc., during the second of them. Weather scratched the game, and did worse things to Joe Benz’s car, according to the Chicago Tribune.
The weather was just as rotten [in Beloit] as it was in Chicago and there was nothing doing, except a narrow escape for John Collins and Joe Benz. they made the trip to the Wisconsin city in Joe’s automobile, stopping overnight on the way, and got caught in yesterday’s storm.
