MANAGER JONES HAS
iron MAN" PITCHER
Allen sothoron, With Record Of
Round Trips to Bush Leagues,
... Making Good.

Allen Sothoron, youthful Brownie
pitcher. who recently heaved his way
to fame and glory by hurting two wins
for the st. Louisans, one OF them a
shutout affair, is an iron man.
A scrutiny OF his performances In
minor leagues shows that ii Dave Dav-
export Is unable to step out this year
and win q double header or SO for
Fielder Jones' gang maybe Sothoron
Sothoron has been the property. OF
the Browns for several years. He has
been taken up and sent back almost as
many times as Jack Knight.
He became the property Of the Browns
owner Of the club. paid $500 for his
release from the Haverhill club Of the
New England League. And he hadn't
done such q whale Of seasons work
either. He Just simply looked good

He was taken on the training trip
that year and lasted until the Browns
started back north. One day while In
Oklahoma Al was informed that Wich-
ita wanted him and that the deal was
Wichita, a Western League city,
wasn't much of an inspiration to a ris-
ing young pitcher. 1t had been a
habit Of Wichita clubs to get started
Sothoron didn't mind. He did his work
in forty-two games. winning sixteen
and losing seventeen. His earned run
average was 3.15.
Is Sent to Portland.
That year he reported to the Browns
in the fall, but wasn't used. Next
spring he didn't even start north. He
packed his grip at the training camp
and hied himself away to q long sum-
mer's work in Portland, Coast League
whistling station. Walter McCredie
was running the Portland team and he
sent Sothoron staggering into the clos
ing days with record Of having ap-
psared in fifty-seven games. working
Ss7 innings. He won thirty of these
games and the records show that he
dropped seventeen. He allowed 2.65
earned runs each game.
That's quite record for youngster
to bring back with him from the Coast
League and this year Fielder Jones
decided 1t was time to show AL to the
majors. He did and AL performed in
his best company manner.
He walked into the box as q relief
pitcher against the White Sox and he
got away with a two-hit performance
in five innings. Next time he came
along against Cleveland and the In
dians managed to get to him for one
hit in nine innings. No runs were
counted against him. That's some rec
ord for youth. 49, .v

<IN1ERES1YNG GOLF NOTES
FROM THE LOCAL CLUBS

| Mrs. G. E. FrafIey, women's champion
of the. District OF Columbia, broke the
woman's record for the Chevy Chase
course last Wednesday with a score OF
81, one stroke under the previous mark.
held jointly by Miss p. Lockett and
Miss Louise Lacey. Playing with Mrs.
Floyd P. Waggaman, Mrs. Frailey
reached the turn in the ordinary fig
ure Of 81, but. playing very fine golf
on the last nine, was back in IS. Two
holes on which she took spoiled an
otherwise perfect card, both of them
being long ones, the third and eighth.
The Chevy Chase course Is peculiarly
difficult for women. to score on because
Of the frequent necessity for making
long carries, both from the tee and
through the green. The player who
gets below 100 for a round of that
course must be quite accurate with the
mashie, as on many holes. notably the
eighth. thirteenth and sixteenth. she
has practically no chance to make the
carries the men negotiate.
JACK Burgess, pro at the Chevy Chase
Club was around in TT last Friday,
playing with Miss l.. Lacey.
William 8. Reyburn, runner-up in the
recent invitation tournament given by
the Chevy Chase Club, left TOR his sum- :
mer home, in New London, Conn.,, the
early part of last week.
All the local courses will begin to
suffer If rain is not forthcoming short
ly. The high winds of the past three
weeks have baked out the fairways
and putting greens to an unusual de-
gree for this time Of year. and the play
er who hits a low hooked ball is at a
great advantage over the man. who
hits high straight ball, which is an
unnatural state of affairs. Many of
the local golfers have become used to
the run-up as the correct form of ap-
proach shot with course conditions as
they now are. Normally the courses
about Washington do not become very
hard until along in August. or perhaps
the last Of July. - az

GRAND CENTRAL TEAM :.

Roy Whitford's Bowlers Take Hon.
ors in Baltimore and Wash.
ington Events.

Roy whitford's Grand Central team
can lay claim to very pleasing dis
tinction. It has practically won the
championship of the south in bowling
circles, having captured the first hon
ors in the tournament in Baltimore
and taken the prize for high team set
in the tournament just finished here
as the wind-up OF the local season.
Over in Baltimore the Grand Centrals
rolled a set in the two-ball game that
was far ahead Of anything any other
team attained. They knocked down
1875 pins, an exceedingly good record.
In the District Duckpin Association
event, in the three-ball game, they got
1.617, two pins better than the next
was tied with Grand Centrals in the
unofficial records. but auditing of the
books showed that team to have two
pins less than it was credited with.
The Grand Central team was made
up of John Meany. captain Roy Whit
ford, manager; Jolliffe, Eiker, Mayhem,
Gheen, vaeth and Isemann. The play
ers shifted around usually in order to
give everybody a chance. Over in the
1t Baltimore tourney Whitferd a,,ld Meany; my
here Eiker, Meany, Gheen, Mayhem
and vaeth took the alleys. In Balti-
more Jolliffe rolled a set of ais and
got a game of more than $50. which
was remarkable bowling in considera-
tion Of the two-ball events.
Grand Centrals have had an enviable
record here in the District League and
in dual matches. They finished third
in the District League and won several
dual events last winter. Roy Whitford
has firm belief in the capabilities of
his men and thinks they will get away
with the championship in another year.
Here is list Of the winners in the
various events in the local tournament,
though only the victor in the class A
teams is official:

OUTGREW HER STRENGTH

A fine, tall daughter, the pride OF
her parents, may have grown too fast.
If, with her height, she is calm, even
tempered, rosy, with bright eyes and
a springing footstep, you have nothing
to fear for your girl. But this rapid
growth is sometimes gained at the ex-
pense of her strength. Hayward tenn
per, constant hunger for sweets, head
aches, and pain in the back and side
after little healthy exertion mean
that instead of entering womanhood
smoothly and without disturbance, as
she should, she is paying already the
penalty of thin blood. Watch for
moods. Look, after she has climbed
hill or run upstairs, for breathlessness,
a color that comes and goes, and
heart that beats fast and painfully.
These mean anemia, and an anemic
girl will never make a healthy, bloom
ing woman. She is bloodless. Let her
have DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People. Soon better appetite, bright
eyes, calm temper and fresher color in
lips and cheeks will tell you she is max
ing new blood. Then all will be well.
