A LTHOUGH the Tigers will meet
"a the Y. M. G. a. this afternoon,
they were put through Il vigor-
Gus Practise this morning. and MANAGER
McGinnity declared that tho full squad.
with the exec btion of a few who arc
a bit sore, were in fine shape
Il never saw better lot of ball prac-
t.se SO early in the spring, said big
Mae The practice this morning was
similar to the preliminary work before
a regular game.
The manner in which Joe Agler, the
recruit first sac,ser, recommended by
Larry Schlafy to Manager McGinnity,
is digging them. up and picking them
red hot off the bat is causing consider
able comment among the fans. who
tyrn out daily to watch tho Tigers
practisc. Agler certainly has made y
strong bid to Eli Bud Sharre's posi-
ton. and If he continues to shine at
first he will verify Schiafy'a prediction
tfat he win prove the sensation OF tho
Eastern League before the Fourtn OF
July. In yesterdays game for the regu-
lars Agler made eight putouts and had
two assists. His ability to wing the
bail to the bases is one of his strong
points. and for 4 left hand thrower
his accuracy is marvellous. Larry
Schiafly is happy because Of Agler's
showing TO date. and reiterates his pre-
dictien that Asler IS another Hal Chase.
and already has spent TIE fieJ he will
get for Agler if he makes good.

Kid Mueller's playing for the High
binders In the practise game yester-
day was of the kind that made him so
popular with the Newark fans last
year. when he was sent In to substitute
for Louden at a critical juncture OF
the season 1t was his worl. that helped
the "Hishblnders" materially in tying
the regulars and holding them to
to ) draw at the end Of the eighth
inning. when the game was called. The
Kid batted left-handed and drove out
two clean singles and handled his four
chances at short three of them being
assists, in big league style. The KID
also pitched a couple of innings for
the regulars and showed good form.
Benny Meyers was as peppery as
ever. He picked and picked three of
McGinnity's siants for safcties and got
In one of his o,d-time assists at first,
hesides trapping difficult iiy.
The men who managed TO get more
than one hit, besides Meyers, were
Louden. who slammed out one that
was good for a quartet Of bases. besides
a single; Jimmy, who still has that
gingery style Of handling himself in
tho field and hung the zNn,Snyr on
two that were intended to fool him.
