Boston Fans Score a Knockout
BY JOIN E. WRAY.

Aleer and Bryon Bancroft Johnson
have weakened in their attitude toward
each Other2 Has Ban B. failed to come
to the front for McAleer and force him
down the Boston fans throat. Or is It
that for once, a mayor ana a big city
have been able to win a complaint
against organized baseball2
The apparently authoritative an
nouncement that McAleer's holdings IN
the Boston Red SOx will be sold in
dicates that mayor Fitzgerald and the
Royal ROOters' society of Boston fin
ally put over a knockout
McAleer and secretary Mercy of the
Boston club won the Undying OppOsi-
ton of BpstOnians during the year the
team battled for the worlds title.
Owing to the tie game the schedule to
decide the winner was prolonged and
new seating arrangements were made
necessary. In the course of adjusting
these the Boston fans were left out IN
the cold, while visiting fans were given
the preference, according to the story
brought back by baseball men
How the fans appreciated the cold
ness was shown in the deciding game,
when the attendance fell from an aver
age of 10000 or better for the preced-
ing contests, to about 1900 on the last
day.
And that game was the deciding one
of an extra contest series, tool
