RAIN CHECKS SOX;
TWO CANES TO-DAY
Pull for Athletics and Hope
to Do Their Part When
They Meet Tigers.

Boston. Mass. Sept. 1s.-Rain caused
a schism in the national pastiming in
Boston yesterday, robbing the sox of
another chance to whack the speed
boys final pennant hopes in the head.
Likewise. it insured a double-header
for today. when Walsh and Smith will
try to aid the uplift of the white sox
at the expense Of the red The day off
was a grateful one, as the sox needed
a bit of rest and recreation before
starting along the route.
The only news in the camp is that
today the white sox will lose. probably
permanently, Barney Reilly. Reilly
will leave US tonight and return to
New Haven to resume his studies. It
is a shame for Yale to call Barney q
professional just for what he has done
with the team. No one in the Ameri-
can league thinks he is.
