GREENVILLE; Tex. (UP) —
Monte Stratton, whose promising
big league career was cut short
by a hunting accident 19 years
ago, finds his solace these days
in a baseball-playing youngster
and on the seat of a tractor on
lus East Texas blackland farm.
‘‘.Baseball is still his first love,”
said his wife, Ethel, "But next
to the game itself, I think he’s
happiest riding the seat at a
tractor on our farm.”
An accidental shotgun blast on
Nov. 27, 1938 cost Stratton his
right leg just as he was hitting
his peak as an aee right-hander
with the Chicago White Sox. He
won 29 games in his first two sea-
sons with the Sox after coming
virtually straight from the fafm
to the majors.
His first thoughts after learning’
he’d lost the leg weren’t about
his career, however.
Mortgage Paid
‘I thought, gosh, how can we
ever pay the mortgage on the
farm," the slim, trim 44-year-old
Stratton said.
The mortgage has been paid for,
however, and now Stratton happi-
ly has time to dabble in baseball
while also running a herd at cat-
tie, growing 70 acres of cotton and
smaller fields of oats, alfalfa and
other forage crops.
For some years after the ampu-
tation, Stratton got into baseball
actively each season — two years
as a coach of the White Sox, and
some spot pitching performances
even with his artificial leg. He

In the other contest, the Indi-

fourth and fifth innings for a 5-3
triumph.
The only hit off Menk was a
double by Ronnie Goehring that
scored Melvin Schoenst who had
walked. TheGiants clinched the
victory with a four run third in-
ning.
Menk aided his own cause with
a homerun, his third of the
season, and a double while Wil-
liam Mosley picked up three sin-
gles.
