If the Giants win the National League
pennant the Polo Grounds will be able
to accommodate close to 5000 without
any trouble. because by the time for the
worlds series rolls around the stadium
will be practically completed. 1t is un-

the game there is no getting away from
the fact that this Boston club will cause
a. lot of good pitchers considerable trouble
before the season is over. Tenney has
