Chick Lathers Newsbeat
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Washington Times, February 27, 1913: Chick Lathers, who formerly was tried out by the Detroit Tigers and under Bill Donovan with the Providence team played last season is out of the game for good. He will handle automobiles for a popular company in Kalamazoo, Mich.
Lathers says he would rather sell cars than play ball, as it is impossible to lay enough money aside in the big league to take care of him in his old days.
Or, to put it another way, a 24-year-old veteran of two MLB seasons retired because it was more lucrative to sell cars.
