He was born in Mansfield, Pa, and
resides there now, although it is
Carnegie in these days He is Penn
sylvania Dutchman and yet he is
not. He does not belong to those
sturdy farmers of German extraction
who are scattered over the wonderful
lands In the Eastern part of the
State. He never would have made a
farmer. His natural inclination is to
be hunter. That may be why he is
a good ball player. Almost all good
ball players are hunters.
He was 20 years old when he came
into prominence in base ball. That
was when Ed. Barrow, then manager
of the Paterson, N j., club, sold his
services to Louisville because Harry
Pulliam, who was at that time Sec
retary of the Louisville club, paid
500 more for him than Pittsburgh
would pay. In time 1t made little
difference, because three years later
Dreyfuss bought the Pittsburgh club
and took Wagner along with him
from Louisville.
All told Wagner played 2,7S5 league
games in his time In all time he
probably played more than $500. With
the big leagues he compiled a bat
ting average of 1929 for 21 years

he went TO the pat he made a base

f1elded so as to put him out. That is
fine achievement. There are very
few men in sports in which a club or

He made his greatest reputation
playing shortstop. He could play the
outfeld and began his career doing
that. He also could play first base
and he could pitch after a fashion.
He was utterly without conceit and
egotism, although a player of pride.
He loved to fish and when he was
East he would drift to the ocean on
off days and try deep water fishing.
His skill in fielding was due to his
huge hands and his ability to get into
motion almost instantaneously, al
though very large man physically.
He stole bases with impunity on slow
catchers, because he started away
a creased frying pan. He did not
