HOPE OF THE BOSTON TEAM

Hub Purdue Has Been First Class Pitcher for Last Two Years and With a Losing Club. No baseball club is so weak that it does not boast of at least one star, and the lowly Boston Doves is no exception to the rule. The Boston tearp has three players who would strengthen any team in either major league— Second Baseman Sweeney and Pitchers Tyler and Purdue. “Hub" Purdue

has been a first-class pitcher for the last two years, even with a losing team behind him, and he started in again this year by blanking the champion New York Giants in the opening game in New York city, allowing McGraw’s men but two hits in nine innings.

Hub Purdue.
