SothorOn Steps IE
 Bill Killefer was great catcher in his day, but as manager of the St Louis Brownies he found he couldn't catch the fast ones they heaved at him from the front off, flee. So out goes Bill and in steps Al Sothoron, once a great spitball pitcher.
 Sothoron was more than a spit ball pitcher in his day. He had de- vious ways of what ball players call ''mussing up" baseball to make it perform strange pranks. Empires tossed out of the game hundreds of new balls marred by peculiar defects when Sothoron was on the slab.
 once in St Louis, umpires care- fully examined a dozen balls and found each suffering the same symptoms-a slice along the seam which caused rough spot. The cut was as sharp as though inflicted by a razor blood. The effect was startling-the old apple would dart at 45-degree angle as it reached the plate.

Paddy Quilter, Hearts pitcher, deserved to win. After knocking down a line drive from the bat of Barty Mcdonnell in the fourth inn ing with his gloved hand in which he suffered a compound fracture of his index finger, he continued in fine style, having one run lead yoing into the last of the ninth.
 GrcatOrex on His Toes
 With the first two men to face him easy outs, Bobby Greatorex opened the trouble with a single to center. Quilter aided his own downfall here, walking McDonnell and purposely walking Hank" Gagain, Jr, to fill the bases. With the count two and two on Briotti, Ed Murphy threw to Ed Ragis at first, catching Gagain sleeping, but the 'ville f1yhawk threw a beauti- full hook slide back into the bag, Ragis missing him in the attempt to tag him. The alter Greatorex there before Ragis decided to IAIOW tHo udll anu WHSH ne ulu lI was high, Murphy missing it. Bri- otti then sewed it up with a screeching ingle past third, scoring Mcdonnell.
 DOran Misses Homer
 Quilter banged out three hits against Speed Conway who start ed. but who walked out in the ninth as Jake Vreeland stepped in to get credit for the win. Conway, who pitched Saturday, gave up nine hits before his shower, includ- ing home run by Bill Sheehy. Paul Doran, batting for Tom Moran. drove in the Hearts first run and missed homer on his second trip when Umpire Stanton ruled his long wallop to deep right a foul ball.

Joe Strokalaitis, whom It was reported pitched a 20 game for Amenia, N. Y. Friday night, was not himself yesterday and was nicked for 12 hits plus seven base on balls. He was hit hard ard coupled with some poor throws by his mates enabled the Tribes to win out. Earl Selenske, too. was not himself, giving out eight Annie oakleys, although he gave up but six hits.
 These two lads were expected to furnish the fans with pitching duel, but 1t was far from 1t. Neither team displayed anything to write home about.

 Apples" Murphy, regular catch CT and sparkplug of the Corporal Coyle nine, suffered a broken fin- ger in Saturdays contest and will be out of the lineup tonight. His place will either be taken over by Wren or Cavanaugh.
 Ed Kozen who famed 12 and ai- lowed but one hit against South Norwalk last week will be Coach Bill Cleary's starting pitcher to- night. On their home field the To- calls should be favorites to come through.
 In New Britain Wednesday
 Director Barney Shea announced this morning that many Waterbur- ians figure the local team is out of the state running, which Is untrue as the state games are not an elim- ination tournament, but home and home series with the team having the highest percentage after their scheduled game being declared the winner. A win to- night and another over New Brit ain o nthe latter's field Wednesday will find the locals right up on top. Saturday they will invade Bridge port.
 Bill Stanton will call the balls and strikes tonight.
 Errors Again
 It was a crime to see the locals throw away Saturdays contest. Holding 2 to 6 lead going into the eighth the locals scored four times in that frame to increase their lead, only to see some bone head playing allow the Hardware City nine push across six runs in the ninth to sew up the game and romp off with victory. Roland Benson pitched godo ball for the locals and deserved a better fate. Kozen worked the last inning and was charged with the loss.

The Cabinet room since the addition of Wally Pipp to its pitching staff has attracted much attention and is playing a fine brand of ball.

 St Casimir's fin Action

Tippy Jablonowski on the mound for the local outfit was hit freely and with three errors being charged to Ben- ny Truzkoski, who was playing first base, the Waterville nine went into an early lead to win the contest. a member of the Uni versity of New Hampshire varsity nine failed to show any sensational playing in this contest and took plenty of razzing from the fans.
 The St Casimir's nine Is slated for one game this week in the Nauga- tuck Valley league against the Oak vile nine in Oakville on Thursday night. which will be the final game In this round for the local nine. The Polish outfit handed the Oakville nine defeat on the local grounds when they met earlier in the sea- son.

They Buntcd Him Out

Sothoron's story as pitcher is Q strange one. When he came up to the Browns in 1914, he was was recognized as one of the rich est prizes ever found. Besides his sweeping splitter he had a good fast one, curve, control, change of pace-just about everything that a greta pitcher requires.
 But he could not field his posi- tion. On hunts or easy taps hit straight to him he lost his bear ings. He has thrown more balls into the grandstand than any other pitcher in the majors.
 The word got around and the boys started bunting on him. In 1920, @ year in which he won 20 games, Sothoron's fielding average was .S13, the lowest ever recorded by regular pitcher.

Rescued by Hickey

Finally the Browns gave up on him. He was shunted to the Red Sox, then to the Indians. Speaker gave up trying to correct the fault after a years trial. In 1922 Soth- oron gave up, disgusted. and &C., cepted transfer to Louisville.
 But Branch Hickey, who as manager of the Browns in 1914 had discovered Sothoron, was unwilling to believe that such an evil could not be corrected. He purchased the pitcher for the Cardinals in 1924. Hickey, gave him a special course in fielding bunts. an hour daily for weeks. He had observed that Sothoron scoopcd the ball, whirled and threw, without steady ing himself. Hickey made him de- liberately pause with the ball in his hand and aim.
