CRACKERS GET
ACLER, ACRACK
FIRST SACkER

NHARLEY HEMPHILL, in his
struggle to give Atlanta fans
- winner, has just secured
Joe Agler, a corking young first
baseman. from the Chicago Ma
tionaIs. He will report to the
Crackers Monday. Agler was the
star initial sacker in the Eastern
league that was last season, per-
forming with Joe McGinnity's
Newark team The Cubs secured
him last fall.
Agler has not been bought out
right by the Crackers, He comes
here under an optional agreement,
which means that big string is
tied to him In sending him here,
Charley Murphy, president and
owner of the Cubs, has informed
President Galloway that next
spring the young man will again
join the Windy City aggregation.
Although his records are not
anything to cause alarm, Agler,
nevertheless. is one of the most
promising first basemen in the
country In his case, figures do
not show his full worth He bat
ted .255 for Newark last season,
garnering 122 hits for total of 1856
bases He swatted out ten doubles
and twelve triples. Twenty five
bases did he pilfer His fielding
average in 14o games was .9SS,
which shows that he is a bear on
the defensive end of the game.
With the coming of Agler O'Dell
will have to be shifted to some 9TH
er position than first base. Man
ager Hemphill is undecided just
where he viii place Al. 1t may be
that he will keep him as pinch hit
ter and utility man.
President Galloway denies that
he gave up Sykes Paige, Johns and
a couple of million dollars for Nc
Elveen we got McElveen at
very reasonable price said the
Cracker head today.
