...professional game. All of the more important teams which it is to play during the season have received professional coaching, and many of them have games with professional teams. In preparing our nines to meet these teams which play the professional style of ball, there could be no better training than a contest with a league team. The game with the Boston Americans today will serve this purpose, and will, moreover, open the season with fast play which should quicken the team for the coming contests...
