Loss Of Speaker Will Give Confidence.
TriS Speaker is Il fellow that mas al
ways shown we'll in Il short series and
long. too. Tor that matter. and his pres
enCG and record naturally worry All OPP

Chinaman. | have seen the Dodgers
lose several games in the last season
BY just this. When they try things,
they showed couple OF games against
us in Cincinnati when they actaI' as If
they were up here IN front and didn't
know why. bus that they were not going
to risk their brrth by tAkin; chances
and they were beaten. ltobbio went TO
them afterwards and said:
'Iu"k here. you fellows. X we're 60

We are gong to get beat trying.
ON the last trip my club made east.

anv pitcher whether he would rather
work against Big League CLUB ne
ike an American Association team that

Don't think the Brooklyn boys won't
ho irving. They will he in there just
because Brooklyn won the pcnnanr ana
not because they are great stars. ne
confidence OF the Red SoX Will nc IL

have gotten away with lot OF bas"

All the talk after Tho Dodgers de-
featcd the Giants twice this week about
there being something hoocy In Den

did. That was rotten exhibition out
there today. I'm glad Philadelphia lost
the flag anyway.

Pretty soft for Marquard any Mcy-
