The ram said in part: he Boston team and management ready at all times to make the to California and understood that ything was satistactorily arranged.

Manager Moran could not be located night, but several of his players itted that the banquet to be given their honor here :onight undoubt- y was responsible for the mixup. ording to three players, Manag~:r rigan and Outfielder Speaker of the ston team came into the Phillies’ ssing room after the deciding e of the World’s series on Wad- Bday. and announced that the Trans- tinental trip was off unless it could started at Chicago next Sunday. As | hnager Moran and many of his men d previously accepted the invitation attend the banquet, the Bostonians pre told the Phillies could not con- Int to this arrangement. There was further discussion of the matter at at time. It was stated, and the illies were hopeful the Red Sox puld reconsider and agree to start e trip early next week. ‘When the announcement was made } ursday by Secretary »cRoy of the tional commission that the propo- ion had been called off the impres- | on prevailed that it was because of | ability to reach an agreement on a ancial arrangement.

A world series was to make Alexander the most famous name in the land. Yet with the populace at large how much higher up the Hill of Renown he would be today if the Phillies had finished second and some other un- lucky bloke had been thrust in his place before Boston bats. The one thing that was to make his fame en- during took away part of the fame, in two days, that he had collected through six months. How about the dope now? In the advance forecasts we figured that Bos- ton had the edge in outfielders, pitch- ing, batting and at second and third, giving Philadelphia the edge at first and short.

Mattabessett Tribe Show River City a Few Things About the Game, In the first match between the New Britain and Middletown Red Men last night at the latter place the local rollers showed cl by winning three straight. The Middletown line up included three Interalley league bowlers, but were helpless against the consistent rolling of the local hay- | makers. After Alexander has drawn his world series we are yearning to see | Walter Johnson get his chance. Johnson is going back? Well, with a club that finished fourth in place of | first he won seven more games than any single member of the Red Sox staff. If this be “going back” kindly assist us with a shove.
