incident that happened on the High

The New York team had just re-
turned home from a very disastrous
trip through the west. winning four or
five games out Of something like
twenty. The last seven or eight games
prior to the return TO Gotham had

Manager Wolverton wasn't in very
genial mood when his team came on
the field to open long series at home.
Likewise there wasn't very large
crowd on hand to greet his athletes.
In the very first inning Of the
game. Ray Fisher, who was pitching
for the Highlanders, covered first on

the bases. had to call him safe, Had

burden, and chased Mr. Fisher to the
clubhouse.
At this stage of the game Manager
Wolverton butted in on the argument
