None but one familiar with Bosso's
method Of boarding money, they be-

poor looking house where he lived
harbored such store OF cash and

when two OF the robbers entered
the house at s o'clock yesterday after
noon, the third remaining outside by
the auto in which they had approached
the scene, they showed no hesitancy
in going straight to the safe after
having disposed Of Mrs. Clementine
Bosso and her six-year- son John

seemed perfectly confident they would
not be interrupted in their work of
ripping open and plundering the safe

AS FULLERTON SEES
FEDERAL LEAGUE RACE
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

0ANs
The first part of the Big Three
Ring Show opens today.
The Federal league, strengt h
ened all around, with better clubs,
a slightly improved circuit, more
sane management begins its sec
ond major league season auspic-
iously.
1t is prepared to lose money
and probably will lose rather
heavily but the promoters are
ready to charge their losses
against the increase in value OF
clubs and franchises.
The only chance of ultimate
success of the Federal league Is
to win the confidence of the pub
lie. The unfortunate mixup m
the effort to transfer Kansas City
to Newark and the subsequent
transfer of Indianapolis and the
retention of Kansas City was Q
bad thing for the league and hurt
1t in the estimation of the fans.
One thing that will add inter-
est to the race is the immense
changes that have taken place in
the clubs. One cannot figure
them on what they did last year
save as the dope applies to indi-
viduals and managers.
The dope indicates that Chi.
cago again has the strongest club

Although he has more men

For January the amount for organ
