Heinie Considered One of the Brain- iest Infielders in American League. Charles (Heinle) Wagner, veteran member of the Boston Red Sox team, for the last ten years connected -with this same organization, and one of the brainiest inflelders that ever played in an American league uni- form, is mo longer a member of the Carrigan fold. His release, making him a free agent, has been mailed to him by President Lannin and the great old-timer knows, for ghe first time in his long experience &s 4 ball playe: just what it means to be without a good, lucrative position in the national game. M-m:w& Carrigan is said to have been greafly opposed to Wagners re- ease. Not Unexpected. The release of Wagner was not en- tirely unexpected. For the past three season, in -fact, ever since the great championship struggle of 1912, and his wonderful work in the fight for a world’s_title with_the.Giants later on, the e little Dutchman had been slipping. The beginning of the season of 1914 found Wagner a cripple at Hot Springs and although he drew down the fat salary of $5,000 for a season’s work, he was unable to toss a ball across the diamond. from the moment that the big struggle opened in April till the long campaign closed. ‘While many a club owner would have acted difforently than did Pres- ident Lannin in Wagner’s case, his ap- preciation of the sterling worth of the veteran and the great ball he had played in previous years impelled the Red Sox magnate to pay him his salary, and althoush it was the gen- eral impression that Wagner was prac- tically done he was signed up again for last season, although at a slightly reduced figure. Stick Work Won Game. Though Helnle did eomé good work in the early" part of last season, and his timely stick work enabled the team to win quite a few doubtful games in the earlier days of the campaign, he had begun to show the effects of the hard work and the purchase of Jack Barry, which was really necessary to bolster up a none too strong infleld, practically sounded the signal for Heinle's passing. - The purchase of Barry enabled the Red Sox to win the American league pennant, later grab off a world's cham- plonship and convinced President Lan- nin that Heinie's usefulness to the x"had passed. Together 'with Carrigan, Wagner alone remained of the team that play- ed under Jimmie Collins’ leadership. ‘Wagner was a member of the team that Chick Stahl managed for a few brief weeks and many a game did Heinle play on the same team with Jones, of Neshvillg;Tenn.

Although never considered a hard hitter Wagner, like Barry, was an ex- tremely timely clouter, and, until rheumatism knotted his muscles and impaired his usefulness he was sure to be reckoned among those who batted at & .260 clip. It was Wagner's won- derfui his great head work and brilliant fielding that made him such 2 tower of strength to the club. While in his prime no infielder in the game had s better arm than Wagner Dos- sessed. He made a reputation as a_blocker off at second and many a stolen_base went into the discards because Heinie was able to slip his intervening spikes between the runner and the bag. Coached Whole Infield. As a coach to the whole infleld, a steadying influence for _the pitchers and, on the whole, a great fleld gen- eral, Wagner was there, and.many a club, even in the majors, could do worse than secure the game Dutchman as_its director. During the entire campaign of 1912, when most of the teams were taking things easy, Heinie and roommate Bill kept close fo their common apartment at “Put's” mapping out a plan of ac- tion that ultimately resulted in. their winning out. It is rumored that Wagner will not long be out of aberth. Manager Car- rigan has hinted that in all . prob- ability Heinle will connect with- out difficulty as manager and probably shortstop of some International league club. He Is sure to be eagerly sought after, B Might Have Held on Longer. But for the accession of Jack Barry, Who has the brains and strategy. nec- essary to direct the Red Sox infleld, Wagner might have held on_ even But with such men as Hooper and Speaker in the outer garden, in the infleld, and Manager Biil him- self behind the bat, it seems only rea- sonable to suppose that President Lan- nin long ago became convinced that he had plenty of brains in his outfit and could therefore afford to turn Wagner % | loose.
