Atlanta, September 21.-There is no
player who will be missing from the
1911 Atlanta club who viii be missed
any more than Joe Agler, sterling first
baseman. all around sport and gentle
man. But Joe deserved a better job
and for this reason the Atlanta man.
agement sold him to Jersey city, not
wishing TO hold back worthy player
in his chosen profession
In the long years of baseball in At
lanta never has there been d player
who wore a local uniform who was
more popular than this same first base
man. lie had the knack of making
friends in every town in which he
played and owing to his inclination to
always give the club the very best he
his success. He worked hard in the
field and at the bat and his encourage
ment has pulled more than one dnfortu-
nate player out of the mire and Won
games for the Crackers.
There is a limited individual salary
limit in the Southern league and for
this reason it was impossible for Joe
TO secure as much money here as Jef-
sey City could pay. And this. and only
this, prompted the Atlanta officials to
LET him go to the International league
club.
Joe was with the Cracker team a part
of the 1912 season and all of 1913, ana
in that time he worked worlds OF good
for the club. And maybe he won't be
missed off the infeld when the 1914
campaign opens Joe is fielder OF the

eral direction of the first bag and Joe
would in some way catch 1t. Next sea-
son with a new first sacker. unless ne
is Hal Chase. 1t is going to be differ
ent and you are going to see many
more errors.
With Joe goes the best wishes OF
thousands of Atlanta fans. 1t Is not
right to cover up a promising player
and keep him in the minors when he
has a chance to do better higher up,
and it was for this reason he was sold
to Jersey City. But at that Joe was not
overly anxious to leave, especially after
Larry Schafiy was removed as manager.
