In explanation of his failure to play off a postpone game in Boston Captain Hanlon says he at first declined to play because his men were in poor shape, but he was afterward willing to accept a proposition providing extra financial inducements were offered. He informed that they they were looking for the championship, while the Pittsburgs looked at the matter from a purely business standpoint. Manager Hart declined to offer anything beyond the usual rates so the game was not played. Captain Hanlon is not stuck on the double game business, especially while traveling.
