Stratton Loses Leg

DALLAS, Tex.--The promising baseball career of Monty Stratton, 25-year-old pitcher for the Chicago White Sex, was ended late today when physicians amputated his right leg at the knee.

Stratton shot himself accidentally Sunday while hunting near his mother's farm at Greenville, Texas. His physician said the White Sox pitcher went through the operation in good shape and appeared to be recovering.
