Sox Get Two in Draft-Feds Win
Another-Cubs Cop.

Results of the secret draft recently
held by the National and American
Leagues are beginning to come to
the surface.
Part of the White Sox loot came
to light yesterday afternoon when it
was announced that First Baseman
Brief from Kansas City and Second
Baseman Buhler from Minneapolis
had been added to the Sox roll and
would report next spring for the Sox
training trip to the Pacific coast.
Nothing is definitely known, but
probably these fellows are signed to
iron-clad contracts. Otherwise the
Federals would not be apprised of
their acquisition.
The secret draft was employed to
placate the minors, who have been
bowling because part of their reve-
nue. was taken away when they were
unable to sell their stars. Instead, the
Feds were grabbing the headliners
and the small club owners were get
ting no part of the coin. By dealing
with the players the Feds
got better results.

The first big fight of the fall takes
place in Milwaukee tonight when Ad
Wolgast and Joe Mandot clash in a
ten-round mill.
The result will have no effect on
the championship, as both men have
gone back, but it will give line on
what may be expected of the men
just outside the brightest calcium.
Mandot and Wolgast can give any
lightweights but Welsh, White and
Richie a hard battle.
Joe Rivers will meet one of them,
possibly the one who makes the best
showing tonight. That insures
hard tussle. Wolgast is a favorite for
tonight, and rightly should be. The
men met once before in a ten-round
go and Mandot had a shade, but he
has not maintained stride with the
Cadillac man.
Jimmy Duffy. the 1o5-pounder be-
ing handled by Jimmy Kilroy, has
been matched for a private go with
Jimmy Kelly. Both boys are scrappy
and should furnish plenty of enter
tainment for those who get in on
the secret.
Kid Galaxy of New Orleans is an
other fellow who isn't afraid of
private bout Galaxy has been match
ed with Kid Cooney, and the fight !
will be pulled off Sept. 20. Both men
are Iightweights. Galaxy is after any
of the fellows in this neighborhood.

 In practically all of the larger centers of South America the bulk of the im- origin and Q surprising percentage of our exports Is handled through such estab- lishments. As rule the Italian and Spanish jobbers prefer to handle the products of their own countries. making few North American connections, all though in recent years there has been a tendency to broaden out, especially in au- tomobile and kindred industries. The English and German houses particularly the latter, have no objection to taking on an American line, provided they can not get a home one. In the Argentine the English houses are the strongest and in Chile they practically dominate the market. These concerns, established for years. supported by adequate banking fla
 cilities and home credits, with compe- tent sales organizations. usually com posed of natives, look with contemptuous amusement upon the amateurish methods which have characterized the campaign ing methods of some of our manufac- turing establishments whose products are household names with us, while at the same time they bitterly fear the saner tactics of those Americans who. being really in earnest. without trumpet flare or drum beat are steadily and surely forcing them to the wall in many lines of endeavor.

HOW SOUTH AMERICAN CITIES

representative there These by some hook or crook and the exercise of di- plorascy may manage to break away from the festive round of sightseeing for a sufficient time to drop in ana present few letters of introduction with which all commercial tourists are bountifully supplied, acquiring in the process a lot of miscellaneous misin- formation which is going to prove the nightmare of some long suffering for eign sales manager.
 The programme above outlined may be little exaggerated, but it is in the main just what happens not only ia Buenos Aires but in Rio de. Janeiro. Santiago. Valparaiso and Lima, the usual points visited. In the early days tho commercial excurnion was more or less gratifying to South American van- ity. not hv any means an unknown quantity the South American being a rfogrcssive gentleman who next to achievement loves most to talk about it. There are spread eaglers south of the equator also. Stiil too much of a good thing Is certainly enough and when city Is called upon to entertain 10 CT 90 captains of industry every timo boat comes in the pastime in the lons run begins to get boring.
 American trade with South America cer. tainly is not small, and Is increasing every year. Field after field Is being in- vaded. and in the smoke and carnage of commercial battle the stars and stripes is ever to the fore. but our trade vic tories are not won by glad hand excur- sions, but by the constant hard work of certain American exporters who. know ing the value of the field have gone about conquering it in the right way. Usually the method employed by aewise manufacturer entering this field is to place the sale of his goods in the hands of an established, responsible native house possessing native sales organization and then sending a responsible minister plenipotentiary or ambassador extraordi- nary to keep the native house up to taw. Sometimes branch house is established under the management of a capable busi- ness man. who has through long ex- perience acquired sufficient aeumen to see point before it Is jabbed into him in this case you have to catch your man. ager-and there are a number of North American manufacturers who bitterly rise to proclaim that there ain't any such animal.

 BERLIN, August 29-(Special.) Ih1 Europe is suffering from N dearth of politicians. / So says C6tal Richard witting. director of berlin National bank and publicist. He points to the extraordinary absence of political talents in the Reichstag The same thing Is observed all over the conti- nent. It is easy still to get men who want to be politicians and who flatter themselves that they have political ability. The trouble is to get the old class of man with real political, administrative and ora torical talents who wants to make a mark on his country.
 During the past 20 years there has been progressive degeneration of the person. nel of politics The new politician is a man of mediocre talents. and commen- surately mean ambitions; he is entirely subject to the professional bureaucrats; , and he has lost the chance which he for merly occasionally had of busting the bureaucrat and taking his place That, says Witting. is wh ythe democratisation of Europe has ceased In no Parliament will you find today the cumulative, tough type of middle class politician eager for struggle fe> power with crown aristoc- says Witting, is why the democratisation England. in the mid-nneteenth century Having lost their dramatic quality as class truggle. politics have grown dull The public cares little about what the
