DRAFTED PLAYERS OFTEN
REPAY WISE MANACtMFNTS
Records for Past Eight Years
Show That Many Stars Have
Been Secured.
TWO STRONG ALL-STAR TEAMS

| EVERY llttle while the argument
arises whether major league clubs
ever have procured many god players
by draft Looking back over the rec
would seem that lots of sterling per-
formers have entered tho major
leagues by tho Graft route.
| For instance, President Frank Ma
win, of the Tigers, didn't buy Hugh
Jennings from the orioles, but draft
ed him. Two of Charley Comiskey's
best pitchers-Ed Walsh and Frank
Smith-were drafted players. Hal
! Chase of the Hghlanders also was
drafted President Frank Farrell did
not have to pay fancy prices for
Jimmy Austin. Earl Gardner or Jack
| Quinn, all of whom were procured by
tho draft figure.
OF tho Giants, Otis Crandall, George
Schicl, Bugs Raymond and Charley
Hcrzog were drafted. The Tigers
| Drcc drafted owen Bush to oblige the
| Indianapolis club, and later had to
7ay the Hoosiers $500 for the little
| fellows release. Two all-star teams
| one to represent the American league
and the other the National, could be
picked from the men who have been
drafted by the major organizations
since the national agreement has been
| In force.
Members of the American league
team would be Pitchers Walsh, Frank
Smith, Charley Smith and Jack Quinn:
4 - 49,. 4 g,.g.
| Inhelders Hal Chase, Earl Gardner.
| owen Bush and Jimmy Austin and
Outfielders RUDE Oldring, Henie Heit-
| muller and Arthur Griggs.
The National leagues club of this
( kind would have Nap Rucker, Orval
overall Babe Adams and Howard
Camnitz for pitchers. Jimmy Archer
and George Schlei behind the bat.
| Beck, Charley Herzog. Tommy Nc
MILAN and Bobby Byrne as inflelders
and Sherwood Magee. j. owen Wilson
and Mike Mitchell as outfielders.
