ROston looks good for a tail-end berth
this year. says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. The team is in the same po-
siticr the Browns were last season and
the previous one. Collins has done moth
ing to strengthen his club since ne
captured the pennaEt, and the club
has gone to pieces from dry rot. Moth
ing can be expected from Boston until
Collins gets wise to the fact that il
takes young blood to keep a club fight
ing up at the top of the league. Col
Inns himself is pretty near in the has
bee n class so far as major league com
pany is concerned. and the sooner he
gets wise to this and begins managing
from the bench the better.
