NEWS ABOUT THE FIRST 1908 ROOTERS MEETING

January 26, 1908

MAKES MURPHY CLUB MEMBER The West Side Rooters’ Social club which meets to-morrow night, sent President Murphy an invitation to deliver his justly famous speech on baseball, but as that evening he had to decline, but inclosed a check for $50 to help the new club along. The organization was also given an invitation to attend the west side ball park next summer on a special day. Joe Tinker is the temporary chairman of the West Side Rooters’ Social club which is to meet at the People’s theater. The west siders plan to get together next summer and do some scientific rooting, so that in case the White Sox and the Cubs are matched in the world’s series the fans will have lively times listening to the noises each faction can make.
