LII BLUE LOCAL BOY.
Particularly will Washington fans
went to see Lu Blue play FIRST base
Cor Ty Cobb's Detroit Tigers. He is
. Washington boy. who got his start
in the nearby Blue Ridge League.
For the past three or four years he
has played In the Pacific Coast League
He Got one unsatisfactory trial with
the Tigers. but Ty Cobb is making q
real star out of the younsster.
Perhaps the best of these new
players to be shown Washington is
Riggs Stephenson. the Alabama Uni
versity lad playing second base with
iris Speakers worlds champions.
Built like . truck horse, he is fast on
his feet, fields like a fool and can
hit with the best of them. He IL
making . record by cinchingsa regu-
lar berth for himself in his first sea-
son In professional baseball.
The Boston Red Sox got away yes
terday on the short end Of q 6-to-o
score when the heavy shower stopped
proceedings ut Georgia avenue in the

Allan sothoron. taken from the at.
Louis Browns last week at the waiver
price, tried his luck against the Griffs
He had mono. Lacking his old-time
control, he proved a soft thing for
the home batsmen. who plastered him
with bingles and drove him from the
rubber In the NTH frame. Sothorons
5tay In the league is by no means a
certainty.
Olaf Erickson, the Swedish finger,
was in hne fettle for the Grifrs. In
six innings he allowed a triple, double
and single. but nary a run. though
this last was largely due to brilliant
fielding on the part of Blackis
O'Rourke in the socond. when his mar
velous jumping one-handed catch of
Hendryx's drive brought an inneld out
and kept Pratt on third base. At no
other time was Olaf In danger of be-
ing scored upon by the Sox.
The 0riffs leaped upon Sothoron
IN the very first frame, scoring a run.
With one out Harris almost slaugh-
tered the pitcher with a drive rignt
through him to The garden. Rice
forced Harris and Brewer walked.
