With the fall zephyr which was
blowing from the south all day yes

retain possession of their head gear.
The bridge is supposed to be free but
yesterday it took toll in several cases
where hats were snatched from the
heads OF the unwary and went SAIL

bridge before they landed in the wa
tiers Of the river.

Of the world series with the Athletics
in 1913. At the time he was one OF
the fastest base runners in the game
and could hit equally well from both
sides Of the plate, his batting average
always lowering around the 300 mark.
Upon leaving the Giants he declared
he was quitting the game because the
strain Of playing every day was aging
him. He threatened TO quit in the
middle Of the 1913 season when told
by president Harry Hampstead that
his three year contract (then having
two and a half years more TO rum was
not binding. Another reason advanced
by Shafer for his retirement was the
fact that McGraW playing him regu-
larry in the outfield would deprive his
