SCENE OF TRAINING
OF CLARK, SOTHERN
Players Now Performing for
Braves and PhiIIieS Are
Notable Products.

A HOST of athletes who re-
~ ceived their early training
n on the District Fairgrounds
have gone on to attain the
heights in different sports, but
doubtless the most conspicuous of
these are Earl Clark and Denny
Sothern, outfielderS, respectively,
with the Boston Braves and Phil
adelphia Nationals. Both got all
their diamond training until they
were Is years old on the play
grounds here. One holds a major
league record and the other has
equaled one.
Clark holds the big league record for
most putoutS made by an outflelder in
one game, having made a dozen. Soth-
rem Socked four doubles In one game to
equal a mark for the major leagues.
Clark Versatile Athlete.
OF the two, Clark is best known for
his playground athletic activities. Not
only did he shine on the diamond, but
was q brilliant performer in both Soc
Ger and track and field. He has been
both o coach and player on soccer
teams. Among the teams with which
he played were the Monroe Playground
eleven and the Arcadians and Fashion
Shop. He still holds the elementary
school playground records for the 100
yard dash and the running broad jump,
made in 1921 while representing Mon
roe School. The mark for the 100 yards
Is IL seconds and that for the broad
jump 10 feet 10 inches. After his play
ground days Clark continued to develop
speed and now is the fastest man on
the Boston team.
Clark's first experience in professional
base ball was with Richmond in the
now defunct Virginia State League. His
work with that club was of such a high
order that he was sold to the Boston
Braves for SIS, 900, a record price for q
Virginia League player. He was farmed
by Boston to the Providence, r. l.,
team and there went great guns. Re-
called to the Braves during the 1928
season, he has been with them since.
Ill fortune has stalked Clark, however.
An operation for appendicitis and ac-
cidents and injuries have kept him out
of many games.
Before going to Richmond Clark
played with tho then championship
Georgetown A. O. nine. He has never
lost his love for the playground nor
his regard for Richard s. Dick) Ten
nyson, director of boys activities for
the Municipal Playground Department,
who, by his advice and announcement,
did much to help him along the path
to the majors. Clark still acts as in
structor on the Fairgrounds during the
on season.

Later Sothren pitched and played the
outfleld for the Knickerbocker team,
which won IS straight games. He also
played with Georgetown A. G. at one
time. 1t was after serving some time
in the Marine Corps that he entered
professional base ball, going to the Blue
Ridge League. He went directly to the
Phillies from that loop and was a reg
ular from the start. He Is, like Clark,
recognized as one of the fastest men in
the major leagues.
