in mid-June, Fox was unable to accompany the Athletics on a road trip. During his final game in the majors on June 20, Fox made a base running error that ended the Athletics comeback against the Cleveland Naps in the eighth inning. With the Athletics that season, Fox batted .200 with two runs, six hits and two stolen bases in nine games played. On defense, he played eight games in the outfield, committing one errors in 13 total chances. Fox finished the 1908 season with the Class-A Jersey City Skeeters of the Eastern League. In 57 games with the Skeeters, Fox batted .268 with 59 hits, nine doubles, four triples and two home runs. After the 1908 season, the National Commission ruled that Fox's contract was held by the Memphis Egyptians, the team which the Philadelphia Athletics acquired him from. The Egyptians promptly sold him to the Class-B Wilkes-Barre Barons of the New York State League. During the 1909 season, Sporting Life described the Wilkes-Barre trio of Fox, Delos Drake and Rube DeGroff as the best in the "best outfielders in the league". In late-July, the Barons traded Fox to the Class-A Troy Trojans. Fox batted a combined .271 with 131 hits in 129 games played between the two clubs. On defense, he played all of his 129 games as an outfielder. His hits total ranked 12 amongst New York State League batters that season. Personal Fox was born on May 21, 1885, in Reading, Pennsylvania. He died in Reading on June 28, 1963, and was buried at Aulenbach's Cemetery in Mount Penn, Pennsylvania.
