Just to prove that an athlete can write as well as make good oil
the diamond we're running below a pen product of an old-timer in
South Carolina pro-ball circles. Mr. Williamson caught for a Florence
club in days gone by?and did a good job of it, too.
One day in the early innings of a particularly hot fracas
a ball caught him on the end of one of the fingers of his free
hand. Snap! went the bone?and it looked as though one
catcher would trot to the showers in a hurry. But it didn't
phaze Mr. Williamson. Shifting his mitt to the other hand he
finished the game. Ambidextrous? And How!
WAIL OF A COLLEGE BASEBALL PLAYER
By "Ginger" Williamson
I've a problem most giantic,
And it's driven me quite frantic.
It's one so darned pedantic
I can hardly guess the score.
If my leaning's dialetic
And my studies diametric,
My career will be quite hectic
"With the gaining of such lore.
Take a problem Matheniatic
To the teacher of Gymnastic,
And his actions are fantastic
As he slams it on the floor.
To my teacher of Theology
I take a bit of Icthyology
And he, without apology,
Gently kicks me out the door.
Now the prof that teaches Greek
Cannot German read or speak,
So what's the use to seek
Any aid from there.
If my English prof's proficient,
Yet can't find a coefficient,
Is that reason then sufficient
Of other studies to beware?
I must know more than my teachers
As each one of these creatures,
But a single subject features,
While I'm supposed to know them all.
I would like my studies Scholastic
To depend on my standing Gymnastic?
And make the ruling drastic?
Then I'll have no wail at all.
So, why not make a ruling,
(And in this I am not fooling)
That to continue with my schooling,
I must play good ball.
Carolina's track team this year will be built on a mole hill,
according to the A. P. Like the proverbial worm, we're
looking for the mole to turn.
