UTAH HAS GIRL
WONDER; PITCHES
WITH BOTH HANDS

Bingham, Utah. May 12.-Utah has
produced another wonder-a unique
figure in BASEBALL girl who can
pitch with either arm and hold her,
own against tho best boy teams Of the
state.
M. Ad.h Clay, i. in = GLASS by
herself whom 1t comes to fooling the
opposing batters. according to those
who have watched her work and
those who have faced her dazzling
delivery.
There have been mighty few play
ors in baseball who could throw
equally we'll with either hand, but
this little Utah girl, who plays sand
lot baseball all season, does It and
does 1t wall.
She . cut the corners and usual
" knows what q batter cannot hit
after sheA has pitched him q couple Of
times. She IL also a good. batter and
bits from either side Of the plate.
Tho team Of girls on which Miss
Clays plays claims the girls cham
pionship OF the world: They have nev-
Or been beaten and have a standing
challenge to all other amateur girl
teams for games.
Two other girls on tho team, Miss
Addsrly and Miss Dixon. car pitch or
play the infleld and Miss Dixon leads
tho team in batting.
All three girls have been offered
positions with travelling women's
teams but have refused, a they say
they play baseball only as q relief
from their school room duties.

GRID PLAYERS
FINE SOLDIERS
Have Learned to Take Commands
and Garry Them Out,
Says Yost.

Ann Arbor. Mich. May 13.-Coach
Fielding n. Yost keenly felt tho part
ing which took from Michigan's foot
ball men when "Hurry-up" announc-
ed that football practices would be
passed up in view Of the larger duties
facing every loyal American citiEen
at tho present time.
On his way down to the train the
coach could not refrain from show
ing the emotions which stirred him.
ut sure does get q hold Of you."
said Yost. when you look into tho
faces Of a fne lot Of boys like that.
We meet, no n can say. How many
OF those lads will be back on Ferry
neld whom the next football game Il
staeed?"
When asked IL he thought athletes
would mako good soldiers. tho coach
continued: "Of u they will. Ev-
cry young American chap ought to
make a good soldier, but. Of course,
the athletes already have some i'd
vantage. Take the football man, for
instance: He ha. -. already learned
mands on the football neld and carry
them out Then. too. ho has learned
self-eontrol; and II he Is . real foot
ball player he already has tho old
fighting spirit inside him"
Suddenly the old coach ohuckled:
Can you imagine" he burst forth,
seeing Peach throwing one Of those
hand g~rsnades7 That bow can throw
. football about sixty yards and he
certainly would have the Germans
guessing Il he hurled . grenade In
their direction. Tho fellows on the
team would have another quality
which they need. and that Is stamina,
for soldering requires stamina just
the same ~ football does.
IT'S long grind in either case.
the grind Of preparation ana then IN
ally n the big game the real
battle which they have been getting
ready for. Then in wal, as on the
grtdtron, there can be no crossed sig
mails. no fumblea. but q steady drive
ahead I am not worrying about
will be right in the game with the
whistle"

SPORT NEWS IN GENERAL
WILLARD MAY QUIT
RING IS FROST AS FIGHTER
PROMOTERS WANT ANOTHER one

Word comes from New York that
We r about to lose our present
champion Of the heavyweight class.
Jess Willard. Although the rumor
il not confirmed, 1t Is stated on pretty
fair authority that Willard has made
up his mind to quit fighting and at
the end of the circus season will move
back to California and settle down
to domestic life. Jess has proved to
be a fxzle rs a champion and is fast
losing popularity because Of his de-
sire to keep under cover. He says
he does not are to fight because
there are no mon big enough to meet
him. This is all well and true. but
he should at least show some inclina-
ton to fight when called upon. He
has paid no attention to any chal-
lenges and seems to regard tho box
ing game more or less Of . Joke. II
the big fellow does not do something
