Great Shortstop Dies In Sleep At His Home

The bandy-legged, broad-shouldered star died quietly in his sleep at his Carnegie home at 81 after months of age illness. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. Friday at Beinhaver Funeral Home. Wagner, a Hall of Fame shortstop, left a lasting mark on baseball with feats many expect to endure beyond the sport. He retired in 1917 after a storied career during the dead ball era, spoken of by Commissioner Ford Frick and fans alike.
