the Texas League club and is hitting at
a clip that justifes him being placed

placed on Sharman is not an exorbitant
one, a nominal sum being asked for his
release, with an additional and larger

Sharman may have developed suf-
ficiently this season to warrant trial

markings of a coming major league
star but Manager Griffith has no way
of knowing this. He is not acquainted

Reports from various parts of the

quotas decided on in the first draft
have made the players a little nervous
about a second and probably third

this come to pass. a large number Of
major league players may have to go
to the front. In that case an entire re-
building of the teams will be in order
and the plan already decided on will
go into effect.
Through the readjustment it would
be quite possible for a Ty Cobb to be
assigned to the White Sox and an Ed
die Collins to the Tigers. 1t is not
contemplated. however, to go that far.
but there will be a regular and scien-

one team will be theoretically as
