Chick was in excellent form and he whizzed the ball in like nobodyıs business. He made a remarkable showing and proved himself worthy of the honoration bestowed upon him by his teammates. In the evening a big dance took place at the Lakeside ballroom which was very largely attended. Franklin was presented with a beautiful Gladstone traveling bag by W. A. Karel, chairman of the baseball committee, who accompanied the presentation with a few appropriate remarks. The token was received by the honoree with the greatest of appreciation. In receiving the gift Chick expressed his gratitude for the honoration he received and in closing stated that the day will remain a cherished memory with him for many years to come. Whatever plans he decides upon, he has the best wishes of his countless friends and admirers who wish him godspeed and success in the baseball world.
