complivated by a pulmonary condition “similar to pneumonia.” Wilson had suffered a fall in his home early last month and was hospitalized for about a week then. Took Wartime Job He had been living here since 1941 when he came here to take a wartime job. He had been serving in recent years as director of the city’s Druid Hill park wim

Wilson was the “goat” of the only World Series he played in —the 1929 classic between the Philadelphia Athletics and the Cubs. In the eighth inning of the fourth game, Wilson lost a fly

Wilson resembled Ruth in many ways and it was ironic that he died in the same town where the Babe was born. Both were |convivial, happy-go-lucky souls, who played baseball with all their hearts and who had ‘trémendous {hitting strength. . . Wilson, who hit 220 homes during his major career, on 24 different occasions hit two in a single game for a major league mark that still stands. He also thit three homers in a single game on July 26, 1830, and set a National League mark of 85 homers for two seasons in 1929 and 1930. McGraw’s Amazing Error That Wilson finally wound up as a star slugger for the Cubs instead of the Giants was due to an amazing error by Manager McGraw of the Giants, one of the few slip-ups he ever made in his brilliant career. McGraw, recognizing Wilson's defensive deficiencies, had moved him to Toledo late in the 1925 season and promptly forgot about him. When he failed to recall him, Wilson became subject to the player draft and as such could be claimed at a bargain price in the annual major league bidding for minor players.
