Wooton is now free to sign with whichever pro club he chooses when he so desires or when the opportunity arises. He said he had some chances to take pro or semi-pro base ball jobs for the rest of the season but returned to Med ford to be certain of employ ment for the winter months. Just before he was released, Wooton said, he felt he was "coming around" but was not being given much opportunity to pitch. The chucker has never seemed to blossom out in his season in the minors.
