Edited to add Heinie Wagner played for Newark in 1903.

Doesnt mean he didnt play a game for them or against them. Also the odds that it is another charles f. Wagner seems unlikely (possible but unlikely)

I suppose that's possible but the Pottsville team and the Newark team were in two different leagues. Wagner also played 120 games for Newark that year which seems like a busy schedule.

I could also see that signature reading W.F Wagner and not necessarily Chas F Wagner. Last name may not be Wagner either.

I could still see him getting paid to cover for a ss that week or something. Lots of possibilities. I wish someone could pull up an example of his auto.
