the coming week will have strong bearing on the
result The Buffalos and Clevelands will alternate
between Boston and Providence this week, and The
BostOns are hoping the Butfalos will reduce the
lead of Providence. Buffalo and New York are
having pretty fight for third place, and Philadel-
phia is pushing Cleveland for the sixth position.
The Detrots have their usual firm grip on the tail
end.
