only "busher" who ever had a chance

to iris Speaker, who relieved Foil as

the new leader of the Browns is zone

Fohl's first experience as an Am

when he succeeded Joe Birmingham

did little but experiment that year
and the team finished in seventh
place with a percentage of 1853. The
Club won 45 games and lost, 70.
The mex season the tcaol finished
in sixth. winning seventy-seven and
losing the anne number of games.
The 1917 season found the Indians
coming into their own, winning SO
and losing &c games for a mark Of
ST.. which gave them third place.
During the abbreviated season Of
1913 his team finished in second place
with a mark of SIS, winning 70 and
