Rain forced yesterday's postponement at the South End forcing a double header today as Cincinnati will not visit Boston again this season. Manager Al Buckenberger remains jubilant citing Jimmy Collins's offer to arrange a series despite fan doubt and Collins's joking tone. Buckenberger insists his pitchers and lineup can handle Collins's club and rejects betting as improper for a Puritan Boston team.
