TIGERS LOSE TWO
POPULAR PLAYERS
Pittsburg Drafts Sharpe and
Brooklyn ~Gettman-The
Official List.

Bud Sharpe, first baseman of the
Newark team, has been drafted by
Pittsburg, the name of the popular
local player appearing In the list of
drafts for players allowed by the Ma
tional Baseball Commission. 1t has
been known for some time that Sharpe
was likely to be drafted by Barney
Dreyfuss, who has not had a first base
man who has met all requirements
since the days of Kitty Bransfield.
Sharpe should make good with the
Pirates, providing that he joins the
team and is given a fair chance. Bill
Abstein, former Providence first base
man, has been dong fairly we'll with
the Pirates this season, but Abstein is
not considered to be out of the ordinary
run of players in Smoketown.
OF course there is so much covering
up of players and little deals on the
side, despite rules to the contrary, that
at this time even the players have but
a vague idea of where they will play
rext season. Yesterday in Cincinnati
the heaviest draftings upon the minor
leagues within the history of organized
baseball was made Several news
papers have a%nnounce that Jake Gett-
man has been drafted by the BrooklyE
club. although his name does not ap-
pear in the official lists. However, II
is believed that Brooklyn has secured
the speedy and hard hitting outfielder,
who has done as much and perhaps
more than any one man in winning
games for the Tigers this season. The
sale of Kid Mueller and Jack Frill to
the New York Americans was an
ounce some time ago.
The principal contest at the meeting
in Cincinnati was in the case OF JIM
Vaughn, pitcher, formerly with Macon,
now with the Louisville team of the
American Association. Vaughn was
awarded to the New York Americans,
the deal whereby he was to go to
Cincinnati being declared invalid, much
to the joy of Frank Farrell and Mana
ger Stallings.
m statement of President Dreyfuss,
OF Pittsburg Nationals, was heard on
the claim of the Pitsburg Club for the
services of Player Blackburn, of the
providence Club of the Eastern League.
The matter was referred to Chairman
Herman for decision dater. The fol
lowing drafts for players were allowed:
