Following are some notes from a Bos-

beat Boston by 4 to 1:

A little more playing of this sort and
there NAV not be two tail-end teams in
Boston after all.
No one could accuse the Boston fans
OF being anything but good spOrtsmen
at yesterdays game. Every good play
by Philadelphia was as generously APP

Think of one man getting twenty-five
put-outs in single game. That was
Grimshaw's record IN the game.
1t took Knight a long time to get
that big stick of his working, but he
was there at the finish with five hits
for a total of nine bases in the last five
