PICKED IN ANNUAL DRAFT
Nineteen Minor LeaguerS Mill
 Join Majors Next Year

Philadelphia, Oct LP)-The three big minor leagues have yielded the greater part of the 1881 supply of baseball talent that goes to the ma jors by the draft route. Of the 2l players selected in this seasons draft, eleven were chosen from tn" Class A circuits with the American Pacific coast league two.
 The list shows principally that the find" of the scouts who SCOUT the deeper bushes are less important 10 the big leagues than the regular workers of the higher leagues, and that pitching talent is in great de- mand to hold down the heavy slug ging of modern baseball.
 The Phillies, who had first choice in the annual selection had the priv ilege of taking either Joe Hauser. the slugging first baseman who pounded out sixty-three home runs for the Baltimore Orioles, or a hurl- CT who would bolster their ineffec- tive mound staff. They selected Stuart Bolen, star left handler of the Orioles and one of the International leagues leading pitchers during the 1880 season.
 Bolen, paid two visits to the ma jors, with the Philadelphia Athletics and St. Louis Browns. before going back to win 19 games and lose nine for the Orioles in 1880. As second choice the Phils took Outfielder Fred Roster, who batted .340 for Little Rock.
 The American leagues tail-ender, the Boston Red Sox added two pitchers to their already strong mound staff. They chose Wiley Moore. whose famed "sinker ball' played an important role in winning a pennant and world series for the New York Yankees, in 1927 and who went very bad until this year, when he returned to win P games and lose 10 for St. Paul. as well as Lefty Brillheart, who had a record of IS victories and 16 defeats for Minne- apols.
 Two more pitchers from the American Association moved up. Clyde Day went from Kansas City to the Brooklyn Robins and Lefty Weinert of the champion Louisville Colonels was selected as the New York Yankees. Brooklyn also draft ed Jimmy Pattison, former school bay star of their home town who both pitched and played in the out field for the Macon Southeastern league club. He won ten games and lost five on the mound and batted it the rate of .303. The seventh pitch CT on the list is Dick Whiteworth, whom the Chicago Cubs. picked from Fort Worth.
 He won 20 games and lost 10 in the Texas league.
 The batting champion of two leagues went to the Boston Braves, Earl Sheely, of San Francisco who hit AIS to top the Pacific Coast league and Whitey Dreesen, whose .346 average gave Springfield the Eastern league leadership. The Braves also selected Catcher Luebbc. of the Charlotte. N. C., club.
 Two former college football stars also joined the ranks of gridiron warriors now in the major leagues. Tom Nash. star end for the Uni versity of Florida only short time ago, went from the Asheville, N. C., club of the Sally league to the New York Giants while another outfeld- CT who first made his name on the football field, Frank Waddey of Georgia Tech, was selected by the St. Louis Browns from Memphis.
 Only two Cubs. the Pittsburgh Pirates and Detroit Tigers, did not participate in the draft.
