“DIARY OF A WINNER”


 

TRIS SPEAKER & JOE WOOD

THE LAST ONE FOR 86 YEARS

May 19, 1918 ... No game scheduled ... Former Sox idols Tris Speaker and Joe Wood will come to town with the Cleveland Indians tomorrow.  Joe Wood has played in various capacities during the absence of other athletes who are serving.  He has proven to be an effective utility man and his hitting has been a factor in several victories.
