APRIL 5,1946
By BILL SIMS
Monty Stratton, who lost a leg in 1938 to halt a brilliant baseball career with the Chicago White Sox, is making a comeback with the Sherman club of the East Texas league.
Stratton hurled against Paris of the same league recently in his first professional appearance since a hunting accident cost him his right leg above the knee. He pitched three innings, fanned seven of the 12 batters to face him, and yielded only two hits.
Stratton has practiced every year since the accident, but this is his first comeback attempt. It has taken him seven years to perfect his pitching motions and stance and the ability to run bases.
The third ranking woman tennis player in France will appear in an exhibition performance here at 2 p.m. Saturday. She is Mrs. Kenneth Jones, Junction City.
She was third ranking tennis woman in France in 1944 and 1945. She met Jones in France while he was serving in the army, and came to America to join him after his discharge. The exhibition will be staged on the concrete courts near the stadium.

Sidelights—The K.U. Law school boasts some talented net men, but they can't compete in the Big Six because they are graduate students. Howard Corbin, Howard Engleman, Malcolm Black, and Bill Howard all are former number one men on the varsity tennis teams.
Corbin defeated Don McNeill, later top ranking net star, when they were playing junior matches. . . Big Bob Kurtland is debating whether to accept a $10,000-a-year offer to play professional basketball, or a job with the Phillips Petroleum Company. The latter wouldn't pay as much, but it would last longer and probably provide a good job for years after he hangs up his court clothes. . . . The All-America football league won't lack for colorful names next fall. Its list includes such stars as Bruiser Kinard, Rowdy Dow, Hippity Hopp, Special Delivery Jones, Truck Maack, Crazy Legs Hirsch, and Dippy Evans.
