Indeed. This is what I found from the San Francisco Call, Volume 105, Number 155, 4 May 1909:
"Hal Chase's return to first base after a siege of smallpox was signalized today by the presentation to him of a silver loving cup by his teammates and a 9 to 6 victory over Philadelphia."
What a great story. You learn something new everyday.
