Business Manager Bancroft thinks
that for its size. Pittsburg is the greatest
base ball city in the country. Il know
of no other city in the country" said
Bancroft, ''in which the public will stand
for the loss of three games in succession
and still turn out such fine crowds. AS
a rule, the public quits a team that is
losing, but here they seem TO stick to
the boys nicely. The newspapers are
doing the right thing by the team this
year. and this no doubt has much to do
with keeping up the spirits of the en-
thusiasts and bringing them to the
games"
