Allan Sothoron Regains Old Confidence

ST. LOUIS. April 12.-Allan soth-

again.
Hes got his spitbaH and his old
confidence back.
Giving spitballers a continued
lease on life meant more 70 Soth-

Later in the season he was rein
stated as eligible 20 throw the wet

Turning Point.
That one game turned him from

fore when he used his pet delivery

game. got the idea I'm my head that
wasn't there as a pitcher without
a spitball." says Sothoron.
II had depended upon it too much
''The spitball isn't the only ball I
throw. but It fits into my system.
After that disastrous game with
the Indians 1 couldn't regain my old
confidence even after they gave me
my splitter back.
Winning Asset
Confidence is a thing that any
winning pitcher must have.
"A pitcher might have a fade
away as good as Mathewson's, the
speed oH Walter. Johnson and the
control Of Babe Adams. but unless
he thinks he can master the bat
ters who face him ne is helpless
I'm going TO be all right again
this year"
The fact that Sothoron held the
Cardinals TO four hits and beat them
in an exhibition game here indicates
he is his old self.
With the apparent comeback Of
Sothoron the Browns pennant
chances are looking up.

true that the Anti-Saloon league is
nettled because the law OF the Unit

repeated contention that alcohol pos
sesses no curative features.
1.-THE law of the land. irrespective
OF medical opinion, holds that wine
and beer and even whiskey are of
medicinal value. Therein Is the
main reason for the criticism Of the
Anti-Saloon league, 1t Is said today.

tally, does not expect this admins
tration to proceed more obediently
in respect to it's commands than the
preceding. The attorney general is
said to be "notoriousiy" wet. and
the treasury head formerly owned

company. And liquor still abounds
with the bootleggers becoming. il

In this connection. the Anti-Sa-

that even Uncle Sam is not regard

to serve the thirsty Of Washington.

matter: but Is convinced thst there
is something crooked. For Instance,
although the proposition was sprung
in the legislature as South Caro-
lima measure, it has developed that
people in North Carolina were work
ing along the same line. The North
Carolina folks got theirs through.
In South Carolina 1t failed. But
now there are further developments.
The oil companies doing business in
North Carolina have agreed to pay
the tax in full. 1t is estimated that
the proceeds will aggregate some
thing like s75O.OOO year. OF
/ course the companies will collect
the l cent gallon off the distribu-
tors. and equally of course the dis
tributors will collect it off the con-
sumers. The thing is dead easy.
But the next question Of interest is.
VIII South Carolina people get their
gas cent a gallon cheaper than the
North Carolina people? II will
hardly be so you can notice 1t; but
watch and see. Unless the South
Carolina people get their gas cheap

one meaning will be that South Car
olina people will be paying that
road tax without receiving any bene-
fit for their roads And will the oil
people deal squarely with the North
Carolina people? Maybe so and
maybe no. The probability Is that
this very scheme will make the peo-
pie Of both North Carolina and South
Carolina pay some two or three cents
more per gallon for gas than they
would have to pay otherwise. The
scheme does not look right to The
