A. A. CHAMPS REWARD MANAGER

# ®

SOTHORON GIVEN LONG CONTRACT

S a reward for being named the outstanding manager in minor league baseball last year, Allan Sothoron has been given a new five-year contract at Milwaukee and it is reported it calls for $10,000 a season. . . . The chieftain also is a stockholder in the club. . . . Sothoron’s Brewers finished third in 1934, sixth in 1935 and won the pennant and Little World Series in 1936. , . . His team annexed two intra-league playoffs’ and then dropped only one tilt to Buffalo in the junior classic. . . , The only other postseason defeat was by Indianapolis. . . . Much of the Brewers’ strength, however, was supplied by talent optioned to them by the Detroit Tigers. . .. And instead of helping

Milwaukee this year the Tigers will support Toledo.

HOUGH Minneapolis topped the American Association in home runs during the 1936 season with a total of 212, for a new record, the champion Brewers were the most prolific circuit clouters on the road, lashing 71 of their season’s total of 164 round-trip smacks on alien soil. « « « They made 27 of them at Minneapolis, 14 at St. Paul, nine at Indianapolis, seven at Toledo, five each at Columbus and Louisville and four at Kansas City.

Conversely, ° all clubs won more of such games than they lost in their own backyards. . .. The Milwaukee Brewers proved almost- unbeatable on the home lot in the close affairs, winning 14 out of 16. . . . Strangely enough, both of the defeats were inflicted by the lowly Louisville Colonels: Stepping along in second place were the Indianapolis Indians, who garnered 10 victories in 14 home games decided by a one-run margin. .. . Sur=prising as it may seem, the Louisville- club, which made the poorest showing at home in the close games, performed better on the road in that particular respect than any other outfit, the Colonels winning eight abroad, while losing 11. . - »n = ” " ® RAVIS JACKSON, manager of the new Jersey City club of the International League, launched his big league career under John McGraw in 1922, one year before Manager Bill Terry joined the Giants. . . .

The three-way tie that existed for the leadership of the Indianapolis Bowling League today had been broken up and the Barbasol quintet was sole occupant of the top berth.. Pritchett’s aggregation, which was tied for the’ pm@sition by. Marott’s Shoes and Bofles Seal Fast in last week’s session, regained the lead through a triple victory over Lieber’s Beer in last § night's gathering, § while the Shoemen and Bowes } were tasting de- § feat.

It was his séason’s initial 700 count. The Barbasols, featuring Don Johnson at 658, Lee Carmin at 627, John Fehr at 616 and Johnnie Murphy at 604 assembled a 3043 total on ‘games of 970,-1068 and 1010. O'Grady used 245, 248 and 226 for his series. Despite his big total and counts of 633 and 627, from his mates, Bob Wuench and red Schleimer, the Beermen failed to halt the Barbasels, a 1035 middle game being their best effort. Packards Post 1131 Game The Marott quintet faced the Packard Motors and, though it tossed the top team total of the evening, it dropped the final game, when the Motors cracked out an 1131. The winners totaled 3121 through 1012, 1061 and 1048, while the losers preceded their big finish with 984 and 890 for a 3005. Individual stars of the match were Paul Stemm with 694, Ed Stevenson with 653 and Harry Wheeler with 651 for the Shoe team, and Leo Ahearn with 664, John Blue with 610 and Walt Heckman with 601 for the Packards. Stemm assembled his near-700 series through a pair of 223s and a 248. : The Bowes team, with a trio of 600 shooters, could do no better than take one game from the opposing Fendrick Restaurants. Fonnie Snyder's 687, Lou Daugherty's 618 and Larry Fox’s 613 boosted the quintet a 2961, 49 pins more than their conquerors, but despite the heavy hitting, the Restaurant five nabbed two wins. Manuel Schonecker’s with 620, Earl Goodhue with 611 and Neil King with 600 were the top soloists of the winners. Dr. Gick High in K. of C.

: Wielding a paint brush must be what gives Lou Spivey that sure eye and steady nerve for billiard shooting. At any rate Mr. Spivey started painting signs and playing billiards about the same time 12 years ago and has been doing right well in both his chosen vocation and avocation.

During the last five years he has won the state three-cushion billiard title three times, 1932-33-35. In 1934 he tied for the title and lost in the playoff. Last year he finished third just behind Harry Rubens and Larry Shapiro. Mr. Rubens won in the regular race, but lost the title to Mr. Shapiro in a challenge match & month later. At present Mr. Spivey is gunning for the title held by Mr. Shapiro and has a fair chance of winning it, his admirers will tell you. At any rate he established the high run record and best inning record made so far in this year’s tournament
