MORSE PLANS 7 OSPENn
LAST DAYS IN PLEASURE.

FLORENCE, Italy, April 1S.-Given
only six months more to live, Charles
". Morse has abandoned his quest for
health and the p~rolongation of his life
and will take one final fling at pleas
ure.
Morse had decided to go from here
to one of the famous health resorts,
but recently several eminent specialists
have all told him the same thing-that
his Bright's disease is incurable and
that the ailment and other Complaints
will prove fatal not later than six
months hence.
This six months Mr.. Morse does not
intend to spend at Carlsbad or any
other resort. He will make the most
Of his limited days and to that end has
planned a tour of Southeastern Eu-
rope. He betrays no anxiety over his
condition. In this city he Is %quartered
at the most luxurious hotels in Southern
Europe and his proposed trip has been
planned on a most expensive scale.

Agier Signed
by Schldty
Cubs Release Former Tiger Star
to Hudson County
Management. ,

"Old Fox Larry Schlafy put n
over the plate today when he an
nounced that Joe Agler, former first
baseman of the Newark International
League team and the best flrst-sacker
in the league last year, has been
turned over to the Jersey City club by
the Chicago Cubs.
The acquisition of Joe Agler makes
the Jersey City infield one of the fast
est in the league. With Purtell or
Janvrin on third. Roach on short,
Breen playing second and Agler taking
care of first base, the Pests have an
infield made up entirely of speedy
youngsters, an infield that will cut
down many an ambitious base hit.
"Old Fox Larry had been batting
his hooks for Agler ever since he took
hold of the Jersey City steering gear.
Larry IT was who brought Agler to
Newark in the spring of 1910 for Joe
McGinnity, and Larry made a great
move in mailing the clever young star
for the Shelters.
Agler showed form as a first-sacker,
but Vic Safer batted better than the
Newark phenom, and Cnance cnoSe
Safer for his understudy. Agler is now
"a years old and has at least ten years
of baseball in front of him. If he con-
tinues to improve as he did last year
the frst-base job On the Shelters in
field will be handled for years to come
by the best fielding first baseman in
the league.
Owner j. j. Lillis. of the Jersey City
club, called on Manager-President Nc
Ginnity. of the Tigers, yesterday. Lii
lis limited that he had something big
up his sleeve which would be shaken
out very shortly. The Jersey City
magnate has two pitchers to dispose
of, both of whom are reliable fingers,
according to his own statement. He
talked with the Iron Man for more
than an hour yesterday, but nothing
came of the confab. The Jesey City
club with the exception of Justis has
a new staff of beavers.
