BRUINS GET REST
DUE TO WEATHER

Philadelphia, Pa. June s.-Bad
prospects for an afternoon crowd
following a night and morning of
more or less rain, caused the post
ponement Of yesterdays combat
between the Pills and Cubs, and
enabled Mitchell and his men to sit
around and enjoy the sensations
and thrills OF being in first place.
AS far as the Cubs players were
concerned, they would much rather
have been on the ball field battling,
because they are thoroughly in
spired to a winning mood and think
they were delayed a bit yesterday in
the ultimate joy. It would have
been possible TO play, too, for the
sun shOne part of the afternoon,
but the local magnates saw the sun
coming about II in the morning and
called it off in a hurry so there
might be a double header later on.
