 New England station last evening. Tn Chicagos had been to Danbury, wher z they had defeated the home team to 3 and Bob was making a flying trip to se his family in Meriden. He looked bette than ever and said he was putting up thu , game of his life this year. When asked his opinion regarding the championship he winked in that familiar manner of hi and said: "The Chicagos are going in t. win that flag this year, and will win easil.
 if the other teams in the league will onl. beat the Detroits occasionally. It's funny . We have no trouble in beating the Detroit while every other team in the league i afraid of the leaders. We haG hard luck il the last series with the Washingtons. have three hats bet on the Chicagos fo the championship. But talk about Reef , and Clarkson, you should see Bufintol pitch this year. He's dandy" Bo1 wanted to tarry longer, but the train wa moving and he had to be off.
