fore leaving:
I'm almost afraid to go down to
New York to look over baseball mat
tiers for fear the papers will again say
that l am the whole thing in the Bos-
ton team; that | have all the say. That
is not true, but I'm a baseball fan and
like to confer with my fellow di-
rectors and with Manager Lake on
what we will try to do the coming
summer
II do not think that Mr.. Lake has
yet all the team he wants. The last
time I heard from his there We're yet
some lines out. and we may be able to
land something at the New York meet
ing.
There is one thing of which Boston
may rest assured this coming season,
and that is if money can do anything
toward getting team we will have
the team; or if trading more players
will give us a better team they may
expect it. We have some trades in
view of course, but we are not going to
tell what they are all about"
A trade between Pittsburg and Bos-
ton is not unlikely, as Harris and Pres.
Dreyfuss had several conferences be-
fore Dreyfuss left Pittsburg.

Etna, near Pittsburg, has forwarded
his signed contract to Manager John
