Agler Goes by Draft
From Jersey City
To Detroit Tigers

News from the Seat OF War, now
located in that dear Cincinnati, has
it that Joe Agler, class of the South
ern League at f1rst-basing in the sea-
son Of 1913, will not Hnger in Jersey
CITY, to which club he recently was
sold for $4,000 by the Crackers.
It seems Detroit's draft for Joe has
been allowed, and the Jersey club
management-unles special arrange
ments have been made-it stung.
When Joe was sold to Jersey City
some weeks ago, the idea was that
J. C. was purchasing him as sort
Of agent for Frank Chance and the
New York Highlanders, and that Ag-
Ter would start the season of 1914
with f. Leroy Chance. The Cracker
management sold Joseph to give him
the chance to better himself-whiCh
he certainly had earned-and because
there seemed to be no way of avoid
ing the draft process, should he be
not sold, except by the unsatisfactory
and unjust method of covering"
One hundred and eight minor
league players were elevated by the
drafting process, the st. Louis
Browns getting 80 of them, under the
system Of award which includes
drawing names out Of a hat. Under
this system. 1t is noteworthy that the
st. Louis Cardinals got only one play
er in the draft, and the New York
Americans two.

points of the game will come with
experience. and in that way only.
As n matter Of fact, Dawson be-
lieves the real fighting man should
be reared carefully. so that by the
time he becomes a man he will be
able to embark on a boxing career
well equipped and not be forced TO
learn what there is to the game.
HT'HEY wait too LONG before
starting out" says Dawson
in discussing the white hope" Sit
uation, which just now isn't much
of situation. by the time the
present-day heavyweight Is well out
on his career, he's almost too old
TO learn anything. The system Is
all wrong. Just because a man has
the size and the natural strength is
no sound reason that he Is going
TO be nodded into champion with
a few weeks OF instruction. Yet
that is what some managers expect
Of a man. The best athletes have
been those who started early,
learned thoroughly. and then got
their experience by actual fighting.
Such men always last better and
are In every way thoroughly
equipped for the serious business Of
fighting. You can not develop a
good fighter, except in very rare
cases, in a hurry any more than
you could develop a great musician

RITCHIE CLAIMS
VANCOUVER CAME
WAS NO 7 FAIR
Bv W. W. Naughton.

DAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 16.--
Willie Ritchies monumental
flight from Vancouver is the talk
OF sportdom and everyone is won
dering what really impelled Richie to
cut and run. Willie says It was be-
cause the promoters did not play fair,
so far as a division Of the money &C
Cruing from the advertising privileges
is concerned, but Harry Pollok, man
ager Of Freddy Welsh, pooh poohs the
idea
Pollok was known years ago IN San
Francisco as a youth with fine ideas
Of finance When Harry had poor
Jack Munro training at the beach
for the night with Jeffries, Munro and
Pollok had everything figured out
They knew Just what the losers end
would be in any kind of house from
one of $4,000 to one Of $4,000, so that
directly Coffroth made known the
gross receipts Harry and Jack knew
in an instant what was coming t.
them.
Pollok says the advertising priv
ileges which Richie made an issue
Of amounted to but a few hundred
dollars, and that is ridiculous to sup
pose that Richie would make his es-
cape on that account when there was
a sum Of $4,000 lying in the bank
for him, no matter whether he won
lost or drew with Welsh.
Looking at il from a common sense
viewpoint. there is logic in what Pol
lok says and, consequently. Ritchie's
explanation Of the causes leading up
to his flight are made to appear some
what diaphanOus.
