National League road trip bemoaned by Boston team
No game in Boston today as the Nationals head out and the Cardinals arrive with them. The recent trip is described as the most disastrous for either team this year. Kroh returns to McGuire's Chicago squad after a brief stint with Binghamton. Congalton aims for a .300 season, and attendance rising costs shift to a new 50 cent third base bleacher section in the South End. Tenneyites endure hard luck while Brain, Tenney and Bates push century base-hit marks, Beaumont reaching the milestone last week.
