Cerrigan will first call upon his best

Leonard instead. Leonard has been

also wonder whether Robinson will

not likely to be able to come back a
second time so quickly as Marquard
might.

Brooklyn to play quite as well In, the

good enough to beat Boston for the
long end of the prize money.
This Brooklyn club, contrary to
some views of the out-oftown critics,
is as game as any team with which
