Wagner anticipates some difficulty

II has been definitely decided that

enough to make all OF the drivers

II will require a force of 100 timers

200 men will be employed In the pits

What the Fox Scores
demonstrate to the Fan

The terrible Tigers are the
only team In either big league
that had practically no hand in
the awful doings Of yesterday.
The Athletics had to make an
other cycIonic finish and use up
thirteen players to trounce the

total of yesterday.
The Boston Rustlers chucked
three balls over the fence, but
still could not win. Scottly In
gerton got one Of the homers.
It's getting to be a habit with
him.
There have been twenty home

big leagues.
Jake Daubert showed the mer-

home run.
Wagner and Gibson grew sick
Of the slaughter and kicked
themselves out Of the game. Lit

Little McInnes absolutely re-
fuses to fall down in his play at

that Barry, the regular, may get
