C, July 11— Floyd “Whitey” Young, 21-year-old baseball player who couldn't make the grade for the High Point, N. C., club of the Piedmont league, has just been purchased by the Pitts- burgh Pirates. Out for his first year as a pro- fessional, Young has been burning things up for the Greensboro club oi the Piedmont, where he has been playing since the High Point club rcleased him outright. Young received several weeks' tryout at High Point and was then invited to find himself a job. Char- lie Carroll, manager of the Green: boro club, had seen the youngster in aetion, and promptly got his name on the dotted line for the Greensboro outfit. Carroll said he thought Young had the makings of a star perform- er. Carroll believed it so hard and said it so much that it finally | got to the ears of Carlton Moles- | worth, Pittsburgh scout, who came | here, cast an eye at the young| second baseman, and promptly | made a deal in behalf of Barney | Dreyfus. | The youngster bats around .350‘ and had an even dozen home runs ' to his credit, fairly early in the season. He played amateur ball| last year at Burlington, N. C. His home is in Jamestown, N. C. ———— 20005 -000000ee » SPORT BRIEFS . ve 00 cecscsseveoe The record for the numbers of bases on balls accorded a player in me game is six. It has happencd twice.

Vailette. of Taylor Douthit. He led major ST. LOUIS, July 11.—When| Douthit goes after them he gets them. That's what they say in St. Louis | about the Cardinal's great little | centerfielder who is out ahead of‘ most of the major league center gardeners again this year. Douthit has been a central fig- ure in the splendid defensive play of the Red Birds during their re-' markable showing of the last four years. The first big league player to make 100 hits in 1928, Douthit finished the season with more as- sists and putouts combined than any outfielder in either league. He is gathering them in just as regu- larly this year and again is helping close pennant race in the National league. Last year Douthit, whose full name is Taylor Lee Douthit, ac- cepted 557 chances. This was 121 more chances than was credited to Earl Combs, king of American league outfielders. Taylor had 547 putouts and 10 as- sists. His closest competitor for defensive honors among National league outfielders was Lloyd Waner, Pittsburgh flash, who made good in 433 chances. Douthit slumped badly in batting toward the close of 1928, but fin- ished with an average of .295. His batting eye still was bad during the world’s series, in which he hit only .091, but the fleet Arkansas lad wiped out memories of that poor showing with his 1929 come- back. Near the mid-June mark, he led| the American league in runs scored | with 51 to his credit and was hit- ting the ball at a .329 clip. ———————— ATTENTION AMERICAN LEGION Important meeting TONIGHT at 8 p. m. in Dugout.
