he will not play with the Cubs.
A few days ago William Wrigley
Jr., owner of the Cubs, fatty
stated that Wilson would not wear
a Chicago uniform next season.
Wrigley blamed Wilson's collapse
this season partially to his failure
to observe the training rules.
Wilson has played four full sea-
sons with the Cubs, and was one
of the most popular players on
the team last year under Man
ager Joe Mccarthy. In 1880,
Wilson batted 1856, hit fifty-six
home runs for a new National
League record and set the pres
ent major league record for runs
batted In.

of the team in the clubhouse and
Hornsby gave it to him.
Detectives trailed Wilson in

other similar designations were

Ray Fitzgerald, Tribe gardener,
led the Indians with the bludgeon
on the Sabbath with two doubles
and two singles, finding the safe
spots his last four times at bat.
Jonah Goldman was close on his
heels with three blows. Herman
Layne got two of the four hits for
Louisville.
When Colonies Scored
Campbell held the enemy to two
hits in the first five innings and
let them down with no safeties in
the seventh, eighth and ninth. Gan
eel led off the second frame by sim
Cling through Kroner, and Shea
walked. Olivares hunted for a sac
rif1ce and Campbell fielded the
sphere and uncorked a wild heave
through Kroner at third, permit
ting both Camel and Shea to score.
OlivareS tried for three bases on
the miscue and was cut down, Kro-
ner to Campbell to Goldman. Camp
bell settled down after that and
went on to win handily.
The Colonies blew up on the de-
Tense as their pitching cracked and
the Indians took the lead, to 2,
in the fourth and then piled up
big advantage by registering five
markers in the fifth and two in the
sixth. Five errors were charged to
the visitors. One of the Colonies
four bingles was an automatic safety
credited to Eli Funk in the sixth.
His easy grounder struck Layne, who
was sprinting for second. Sigafoos
was set to field the agate" when
it clipped Layne on the leg.
Angley Banished
Catcher Tom Angley of the In
dams was banished from action in
the seventh when he criticised the
eyesight of Umpire Joe Rue when
Olivares was batting. The Cuban
swung and missed a third strike,
but Rue failed to see the swing and
called a ball. Riddle went in for
Angley and a double play resulted
when Olivares famed and Camel
was erased trying to steal, Riddle
to Sigafoos.
Several hundred fans came up
from Louisville to view the struggle
and many remained over to take
in today's twin bill. They got little
chance to root Sunday after the
Indians found their batting eyes.
The Colonel delegation was warm
in its praise for the new Tribe
park.
