Wilson, better known as "Squanto"

| him a marked man.
Wilson has record in the National
pastime. He starred both at Prep
| School and college, and while still a
Sophomore at Bowdoin, went to De-
troit in the summer Of 1911. He play
ed in several games behind the bat
with Detroit and the following season
was farmed by them to Toronto. 1t
was while playing an exhibition game
with this team in Macon, that the
injury to his arm was received which
eventually shut him out Of the big
show. From Toronto. he went as a
pinch hitter to Providence, and was
later bought by Lynn where he played
first base. This was in the sea son of
1918, and he easily led the New Eng
land League in batting, runs and
stolen bases. His work was so good
that he was drafted by the Red Sox
and went with them to Hot Springs
fectiveness of his throwing arm caus-
ed his release to Memphis of the
Southern League. where he played in
the outfiad until August when he
was again purchased by Lynn and
finished the season there. This sea-
son Wilson was sold by Lynn to
Portland and later bought back by
Lynn. but has refused all inducements
to sign.
He has been the star batter of the
Trolley League, his average running
from .450 to $50 His best record was
in the thinning tie game with Au-
gusta, when in times at bat, he hit
for three singles. a two-bagger and a
three bagger or five hits with a to-
tai of eight bases.
Every pitcher in the league con-
siders it good judgment to pass
"Squanto" at critical points in the
game.

Brooklyn, July 27.-Boston beat
Brooklyn 4 to 8 today. The Superbas
had a one-run lead up to the ninth,
due to an error by Evers, which let in
three runs in the fifth. with one out in
the last inning, the crowd began to jeer
Evers, shouting that he had lost the
game. Evers responded with a single
and sent Fitzpatrick in to run for him.
A hit by Connolly and Magee's long
double to center sent across the tieing
and winning runs. Douglas, who had
pitched cratic ball, was then taken
out and Sherrod Smith stopped the
rally. He was too late to save the game
as Tyler continued his good pitching
and BANKED the Brooklyns in order.
Wheat's throw to the plate for a
double play. and Evers' one-handed
spear of Getz's liner were the fielding
features. Score: :.

! Nav York. July 27.-The demand for
stocks broadened today and the market
gave the best exhibition of sustained
strength which has been witnessed in

was the reawakening of activity IN the
railroad shares. The duilress ana hea'i-
ness of these stocks Of late, togetnef
with reports of diminishing earnings ana
the possibility of dividend reductions III

the most unfavorable aspects of the stu

mistic feeling pervaded all quarters OF
the market and the railway issues grad

Total sales were $4,000 shares.
The rise began with further marking
up of the war stocks. several OF which
again made high records. The oa!ins
movement spread to other speclalties'
with speculation restricted largely to the
industrials during the morning. In the
afternoon, however. buying shifted to the
railroad stocks and in the last part OF

was the dominant feature. Even the
