died at Blanchardville on Monday even
ing Of last week as a result Of injuries
received in a thirty-foot fall to the bot
tom Of an old stone quarry. 1t is sup

to the village. He had made a short
cut through the fields and although he
was familiar with the country, walked
straight into the excavation. How long
the unfortunate victim remained there
before assistance arrived is not known,
probably many hours, and he died soon
after being brought 20 the village.

REMARKABLE RISE OF HEINE WAGNER-FROM HELLS KITCHEN
TEAM cAPTANCY OF WORLDS CHAMPIONS BOSTON RED Sox

just how high an ambitious boy,
blessed with ability, can climb in base
ball, was never demonstrated more
gorcibly than by Heine Wagner, the
hustling little field leader Of the
Boston Red SOx.
About Is years ago Billy Roden-
bach, former amateur middleweight
boxing champion, managed and play
ed with nine on New York's upper
west side. The team was to play a
formidable club in New Jersey and the
day before the game the third base
man went to bed, mighty sick, caus-
ing dismay in the organization, for it
wasn't easy TO dig up a good infielder
on short notice.
Rodenbach had given UP hope Of
making any sort of a showing in the
game when a friend met him and
said, Billy, there's kid down in
Helps kitchen that looks like the
goods. Go take a look at him.
Rodenbach went TO the historic
ground and at 99th St and Eleventh
av. found a game for the champion
ship OF the Kitchen" in progress.
ROdenbach glued his eyes on the
third baseman of one team and was
impressed with the way the kid scoop
ed all sorts of drives and sailed them
across to the first baseman.
Between innings Rodenbach ap-
preached the kid and asked him TO
go over to Jersey the next day 10 play
with his club.
"Aw, gwan. can't play wit you big
guys, replied the little fellow.
III take chance you. Come
on and I'll slip you a half dollar"
The boys eyes widened and he con-
sented- Next day the kids stops and
lightning throws materially helped
team win the game The
boy became a fixture on the team and
was semi-proS star until he Vaulted
into the professional game
