NO GAME TO-DAY
IN BOSTON. TOWN
Downpour Converts Park Into a
Puddle and Teams Lose a Big
Chunk of Money As a Result.

Shortly after noon today dispatch
arrived from Boston TO the effect that
the rain which had lasted all the
morning had made the prospects of a
game hopeless and that the Tigers
and Redsox would be compelled TO
leave their battle even up, each team
having now won three OF the six
games played.
The rain was bad news TO President
Navin. OF the Tigers.
I'D like to swap days with them
right here" said he looking on: of the
window of his office In the Hammond
building at the sun-bathed square.
Undoubtedly both teams lose a big
pot OF money as the result. In all
probability Boston will be playing 4
far less important figure in he race
by the time the Tigers come around
again.
Jennings and his men will probably
leave tonight for New York In order 20
secure q day and night OF rest be-
fore making their debut in the metrop-
oils against the men of Stallings.
