Duffey considers World Series travel and sports trends
Duffey notes tentative World Series dates may limit Boston and Chicago travel to witness champions. He questions local expectations about John S. Taylor’s team and laments late-season slips. He contrasts football and baseball as money makers and praises Harvard athletics while criticizing secret practice and coaching methods as unfair to the game.
Pape's New Role with Sacramento Team and Old Time Inquiries
The note asks what became of Pape the former Red Sox pitcher now with the Sacramento coast team and pitching well. It also recalls Abe Attell and Jem Driscoll meeting in a 10 round no decision bout in New York on February 19, 1909. The letter questions Piper Donovan's claimed 100 yard record and cites 1902 Berkeley Oval marks, with skepticism about downhill courses and Spokane 1906 claims. It ends asking for hockey team addresses near Boston and requests contact for Mystic Lever manager W. H. Richardson.
