As soon as he was called to Seattle (1902) he began cleaning up that wicked stopover towards the Klondike goldfields.

Wood Jr.; strong, swart Francis X. Shields, 20. J. B. Adoue Jr. is the non-playing captain. He was picked because he is an experienced player and because he lives in Dallas, Tex., so that it will be easy and cheap for him to get to Mexico. National Champion John Doeg was not picked because he announced that he could not take time off from...
