II wns no longer any task to get them

One thing I will say though. We are
going into the series on Friday conf
dent that the Red Sox IL just the same
sort Of ball club as those we have
been licking this season. We are not
afraid and are ready for the start
Some of the boys are not in quite as
good shape physically as l might wish,
but they will be in there fighting 1t out
to the last man. II we lose, we will
have no alibi to offer. BIT we'll try
mighty hard to keep from being beaten,
every fan may depend on that.
OF course. there Is lots OF speculation

who will work in the SatUi day game
That all depends on who looks best to

the need arises. and the result of the
first two games will have some bearing
on my choice.

 TOGETHER IN MT.
 GROVE CEMETERY
Police Detail Restrains Mor. bidly Curious at Obsequies
 of Automobile Victims

Under gloomy winter skies with Captain Anderson and Sergeant aO'Neil in charge of police detail from the Third precinct station to keep back the morbidly curious, the bodies of Frank c. Gernert and his widow. Katherine Lavender Gernert, were buried in one grave at Mountain Grove cemetery this afternoon. Rev. John MacLaren Richardson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, conducted a brief committa1 service.
 The former was killed instantly the night of October in the automobile accident at Newtown that. cost the life of Mrs. Robert c. See1ey and caused injuries to Mrs. Gernert that resulted in her death Saturday after three months of unconsciousness. The body. of MT. Gernert had been in a. vault at Mountain Grove cemetery since his funeral awaiting burial
 Preceding the connmittaI, simple services for Mrs. Gernert were held at o'clock from the home, P34 Mt. Grove street, with Rev. MT. Richard son officiating Many of those at tending had been active with the de- ceased in the work of the First Pres byterian church. The bearers were Angus H. Mackenzie, H. Archibald Mayse, Carl F. Siemon and Frank B. 1 Hastings of this city and George Naught and John Garland of New York city.

D M. READ co. WILL RE MODEL WHEELER
 BULL DING AZ ONCE
Long Estab blished Concern to Have Added Floor Space
 Tenants to Vacate


 The D. M Read Go. will reInodel the structure at the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue, known as the Wheeler building and take pos session of the entire floor space and will probably add many more depart ments to their now thriving depart rnent store business
 Plans for the remode11ing are now in the hands of architects, and no- uce has been given to the many ten ants in the building to secure other quarters by February l. when it is expected the construction work will begin.
 As far as can be learned today an ornamental front will be put on the Main street and Fairfield avenue frontages, with show windows the entire length of the Fairfields side, which is now but a brick wall
 Among the tenants that will be forced to vacate is the concern es- tablished by Zalmon Goodsell, Sr, and bearing his hafne, which, founded in the Hall building in 1857, moved in to present quarters in 1863, shortly after the completion of the struc- ture, and upon leaving it will. again move into a building owned by the wheeler family-tIe Security build ing.
 Other. occupants of the building whose space will be vacated by the improvements are Jordan & SeI1eck, R.. WmttIesey, Jones & Kumpitsch. G. w Coggswell, Daniel Brennan. John H Casey and Morris Seymour
 It is expected that all improve ments and possible departmental ad- ditions will be completed by the spring season.
