but was expected to become fixture
at the hot corner the following year
La Motto became a fixture, at that.
but on the bench. At the 1921 camp
he pulled a tendon in his leg. and was
able to play in only seventeen ell
gagements during the campaign.
Last year, however. La Motto was
in there more than half the time, tax
ing part in seVenty-eight contests.
All but seven of these games found
Bobby at third base, shortstop being
his berth in those few. He performed
creditably, and when he signed his
1928 contract had visions of becoming
the regular third sacker for the Ma
tionals.
Then came the first blow. The club
acquired from Minneapolis Bill Con
roy. who has done SO well in training
that the third base job is his for the
present. At least. and to make mat
tiers worse for Bobby, he sprung a
charley-horse nearly two weeks ago,
and has been unable TO do much il
anything in the way of ball playing.
La Motto is an earnest young man
who takes the game seriously, and
while he enjoys being in big com
pany, probably would rather be at
tached to Il high-class minor league
aggregation and playing regularly
than warming the bench in the
majors.
La Motto will be in there today If
there is any way to make it, but If
he is Savannah fans will not see their
fellow townsman at his best.

This bench business appears to have
been Bobby's speciality since joining
the Nationals in the latter part of the
1920 season, and it certainly Is not
pleasing to the Savannah boy. There
is no one with the club who cares
more for base ball than La Motto,
but fate and other agencies have con-
spired to mar his career, it seems
La Motto was with the Tampa
Smokers when the Nationals nrst
went to Florida for their spring
training. He was great favorite
with the fans of the west coast town.

brand of ball. His record impressed

To the Editor of The Sun-Sir: It
has been stated in your paper several
times that two boys had confessed
burning the parsonage here and they
are 10 years old. There is not any
truth in the statement. I am the
mother Of William King and he is on
ly Is years of age, and. the Dorsey boy
Pis Is. And neither of them knows
anything to confess.
the Dorsey boy and my boy were in
bed. They went to bed at $50 and l
called them 1T $50 to look at the fire
and can testify the two boys were
not out OF bed that night until called
them.
The paper also stated they were
paid for the Job. 1t is untrue and l
would like to know who is sending in
such scandal and SANDER. I want you
to kindly correct these statements be-
cause the two boys, Wallace Dorsey
and William King, are just as inno-
cent OF burning Preacher Bicking's
home or boat as any little angels God
has in his glory today. The Wilker-
son boy was given dope, he says, and
was told to tell this. 1t is political
frame-up against our boy and Dorsey.
