BOSTON, August 1o-The Bostons are now on
their second trip to the wild and woody West,
and if they don't pan out better than they did on
the last trip, 1t is almost certain that New York
will take the lead, as they play fine game
away from home. The race between New York
and Boston will be stubborn one to the very
finish, but little i'll luck will throw either
club so far behind that it will be almost i'm
possible for them to squirt and catch up at the
finish. The Bostons are the boss home players,

instead of Madden; then he could
put in Daley again on the last
day. This was the original pro-
gramme and why it was changed is only known
TO Manager Hart himself. The Hoosier ag-
gregation have always hit young Madden yery
hard; for that reason the most effective men
should go in against indianapolis as they play
better against Boston than any other team in
the League. No matter how poor the Hoosiers
play against other teams; when they tackle
Boston they play as IL their very lives depended
