“DIARY OF A WINNER”


 

HUNTINGTON AVE RAILROAD STATION

FENWAY'S FIRST TEAM
August 12, 1912 ... No game scheduled ... The Red Sox arrived home from Detroit and 3:30 this afternoon. Four of the players were not with the team. Larry Pape went to Cincinnati to see his family, Heinie Wagner stopped over in New Rochelle to see his family, and Larry Gardner and Harry Hooper left the party in Albany to go to Gardner's home in Enomburg Falls, Vermont.

The players left the station and several including Joe Wood, Buck O'Brien, Tris Speaker, Steve Yerkes, Hick Cady, Jerry Nunamaker, Pinch Thomas and their mascot Jerry, went over to the South End Grounds to see the Braves game. Manager Jake Stahl went to his home in Newton, where his son was ready with a royal welcome. President McAleer went to his home in Brookline.

Joe Wood complained very sore arm and he will not get into the game before Thursday or Friday.
