At 3 p.m. it was raining so hard that the St. Louis-Chicago game was postponed until to-morrow. It has been decided that Mack shall play short stop in this game.

I don't know why but I get a kick out of posting information about the rainouts. I think they make the whole thing a bit more real for me. It's raining right now in St. Louis, it was raining in Florida yesterday and a bunch of spring training games got cancelled and it was raining in Chicago on August 24, 1876 and they couldn't get the St. Louis/Chicago game in. It's all part of the story.
