frequent visitors from the east that the
enthusiastic citizens Of Rockford raised a
fund OF $1,000 to send their representa-
uves on an eastern tour.

western nine into eastern territory. These
young players, recruited almost wholly
from the little city OF Rockford and near
by towns, won fifteen games. lost one and

managers that when q national champion

outfielder. were persuaded to cast their
lot with the Boston club.
