S0THERN STARS
WITH PILLS
BY George q. simpaon

Fans here are eagerly noting the
box scores Of the National League
games, following with intense in
terest the movements Of Denny
Sothern, ex-sa ndlotter, who As play.
ing centerfieId for the Philadelphia
machine. Burt Shotton, foreman
Of the decrepit PhiIlies. has faith
in the local lad and is keeping him
in the game.
sothern Is not dynamtting the
parent league with any charge of
batting prowess, but his allaround
worth rates him as valuable cog.
He Is the lead-off man and hts
speed enables him to get on base
a quality nearly extinct in the big
leagues today.
Up until yesterday, SotIlern
had played In 80 games. He
walked pIateward 1871 times
and produced 46 safe raps, for
sWatting mark Of .254. He
has seven doubles, q trio Of
triples and two hOmers to his
credit. He has also stolen
seven bases and b topped only
by Frankie Frisch, with 16,
and Johnny Wilson with IL.
Whenever some scribe bestows
praise on the youngsters striving
to derrick the lowIy Phils from the
depths, Sothern's name is inyari-
ably mentioned. The correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer com.
n1ended his splendid exhibition when
the pills upset Brooklyn the other
day. tipping the following:
Denny once more justified the
confidence which Burt Shotton has
placed in him from the opening Of
the season. The long. lean out.
fielder scored three runs. had three
hits and was an embryo of Ty Cobb
on the baseline.
'He started his paddocking I'm
the very first inning, when.
after he had singled, he tore
to third ON Th0mpsOn's slow
roller to the infieId. Again I'm
the third inning Sothern's speed
caused Hendrick to toss wild on
his dragging bunt along the line
and Denny reached second base,
from where he scored on
Hurst's single.
Gin the seventh, after driving
Lefian across the plate with the
Pills fifth run, the speedy out.
fielder stole second and went to
third on Deberry's toss into center
field. Denny later scored on
Thompson's double. In summing
up we find then that sothern tai
lied three times. aided by great
work on the paths. And he drove
in one run, making him respon-
sible for fohr Of the six markers
amassed by the Bakermen."
He is the only native Washing.
tonian performing under the main
canopy today. Lu Blue, with the
St. Louis Browns, was born here
and also attended the local schools,
but soon hied elsewhere, though
now he winters here. Larry Wood.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June
e7. I had ! letter the other
day that rather interested me.
Why Is it, Chicago fan
wrote, that ) pitcher will 60
against the Yankees and pitch.
almost perfect ball for SIX Or
seven innings and then 60
suddenly to pieces right when
he seems to have the game
won
The answer 70 that i simple
enough.
It's because the pitcher tires. lou
know III pitching ball game
pitcher always figures certain spots
in the game where he can ease
up" little. Maybe its when ne
facing some weak hitter. II may
be that ne eases up ct the s1aEl.
of an inning figuring that even
though the hitter does get 2 nlt, ~
can retire the side before the rum
ner scores.
Against club Of real hatters nO
pitcher can do that. Fans gen l..
any think of the Yankee az = MT
tinr 1918 club because they have
three or four men who are great
clouters. That's wrong.
Whak makes the Yankees =

~ easier than facing q man
who perhaps doesn't hit -
often but who b apt 10 park
the ban out of the lot when
He does hit.
That's how the Yankees are.
no set back to the question. Ine
TACT is THAT IN pitching against the
Yankees d pitcher has 70 pear
down on every ball pitched f1e
doesn't get q chance 20 ease UP.
Tho result Is that he tires before
the game Is over. and the stun
that he showed in the first few
innings ii apt to be gone BY the
latter part Of the game.
III YOU 20 over the Yankee box
scores FOR the season you'll find
fnaf nine out Of ten Of our games
hsva been won by one big inning.
And i lot Of them late in the game,
too. which means the very thing
Tsyn telling you about. The pitcher
tired and the bats started swing
I've heard some interesting
theories about how to stop the
Yankees. The most interesting one
was given by one Of the sports
writer's.
ssVhat I'd do" he said, is
slse two pitchers in every game.
Let the first one start with the
understanding that no matter
how he was going he was to
PITCH only five innings. Let him
bear down all the time for that
five innings-tI1en put In an
other fresh man to bear down
during the last four frames.
don't know how that sort Of q
plan would work. 1T might be al
right and it might not The fault in
III. of course. is that no club has
enough pitchers to work that
scheme regularly.
But Just keep your eyes open
sometime and see If I'm not right.
The reason so many pitchers
weaken toward the end of the game
is that they've had TO beer down
too hard in the early part.
The thing that makes the Yankees
a dangerous team il not any one
hitter or any two hitters, but the
fact that the whole lineup. from
top to bottom, is made up of men
who are apt to break up a BAH
game anytime with q single blow.
