Injury. At a time when the box

hard put to fill wide gaps left
by service calls, the loss of
Cronin came as a stiff blow at
the club's first division ambi

Doctors held hopes Cronin
would be lost for only two
months but there was little en
thusiasm in the Boston camp
about any return to action of ono
of the game's greatest stars for
20 years. The player-manager

worked off excess weight and

Chicago kept pace with the
