Now, of course, when in any mi nor league It becomes necessary to talk of great performing on the first sack it is customary to lug in the name of Harold Chase, erst while great player of the.never very-wonderful Highlanders. Now Agier Is no Hal Chase and he's not even a Jake Daubert or a Frank Chance But his fielding certainly does 'emlnd one. in a mild "ay. of Chase's work. He pulled some stuff yesterday after noon that would have been some what to the credit even of Chas® Agier Is built mor® along the physical lines of Chase than he Is of the conventional first baseman (if the Jim Fox or th® Abstain type He is slight, flexible, agile, quick. And he'll do for the Cracker team. You expect pretty good ball for Agier. for he has been playing in the International league, and has had the benefit of the tutoring of the Cub staff of experts.
