NO PINK TEAW|TH
PLAYERS BATTLING

CHICAGO, Sept. THAT this 1918
world series Is to be no pink tea was
shown conolusively in the second
game, when Heinie Wagner, the vet
eran coach OF the Boston Red Sox,
went looking for trouble in the Cubs
dugout-and got 1t.
Otto Knabe began riding" Joe Bush
from the very start of the contest,
and some hard words didn't make
any hit with Wagner. Heinie had
enjoyed a large afternoon riding"
Jim Vaughn in the first game, so
Knabe was merely paying him back
some OF his stun.
After the Cubs had driven in their
runs in the second inning Wagner
took offense at something knabe said
and started on the run for the Cubs
dugout As he disappeared beneath
crew Of Red SoX.
Before Ruth and his gang could be
of any assistance, Wagner emerged
from the dugout, his back splashed
with mud and water. He had been
knocked fat on his back.
Later Leslie Mann accused Bush OF
trying to bean him" AS Mann
grounded to McInnis, Bush went over
to first base. Thinking Bush would
take the throw, Mann deliberately
tried to bump the Red Sox hurler, but
failed, as McInnis beat him to the
bag.
