L- Thuftdoy, Jonuary 30, 1941 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON. S. C Poge Seven -J- SPORTS CIUnERBOX TINCH OWtNS Views the Athletic Front LONDON IS STILL TAIUNG n Next week-end baseball players in this area will have an unusual opportunity. They may attend a baseball school conducted February 7 and 8 on the Presbsrterian college diamond by Chick Galloway, Blue! Stocking baseball coach. Chick, as most Clintonians know, was an outstanding athlete in base ball and football while a student at Presbyterian college. He made the grade as a major league short stop and became one of the best players in the American league as a member of the, Philadelphia Athletics under Connie Mack. Since then he has returned to his Alma Mater and put baseball on its feet and in its rightful place as a major sport among campus athletics. This record and his ability in it self would be enough to make his two-day school worthwhile to am- / % bitious young players, eager to learn. In order to help him, however. Chick has secured three major league play ers, all of whom he started in pro fessional ball. B^t known of the three is Kirby Higbe, famous in South Carolina textile baseball, a pitcher bought by Brooklyn from the Philadelphia Na tionals in a $100,000 deal. The other two are expected to , come but have not yet indicated defi- f nitely whether it Will be possible. They are Joe Haynes, now pitching for the Chicago White Sox, and Mickey Livingston, a catcher from Newberry, who was sold to the » Philadelphia Nationals in the deal involving Higbe. With these stars to help him. Chick’s clinic will have a staff oi experts capable of diagnosing any ./ baseball ill and prescribing the cor rect cure. We imderstand that the only cost of the project to the boys attending it will be their own ex penses. Room and board must be provided for by the students. Anyone who is interested may at tend. A Uffge number are expected to jump at the chance to receive instruction in the game from such skilled performers.' It sounds like a good thing to us and we wish it welL If this beginnihg is success ful, something better may be worked out next year.r—Chick may have something there. Charles (Chick) Easley, one of the hine Presbyterian college boxers en tering the Gre«aiville Golden Gloves tournament beginning tonight, re ceived a nice boost in the Greenville Piadinont Tuesday. Sports Editor Jimmie Thmnpeon frMly praised Chick in his column, CroVs Nest. In 66 ring scraps, Easley holds 60 victories. Only 17 years old, Jie is entering the open welterweight class at Greenville. He won the title in that division of the Chattanooga Golden Gloves tournament last yew, and is shooting for another chai&- pionship now. A good build, quick reflexes and lightning movement, and an aggressive spirit combine to make him an ideal fighter. We pre^ diet big things for him in the square circle. Also entering the tournament from Presbyterian college are: J. D. Sulli van, 118; Tom Ctyde, heavyweight; Billy Dent, 126; Jim Page, 175; Bill Dei^ 127; Jack Dent, 135; Conley Alexander, 160; Frank Sutton, 160. All except Easley and Sutton, team captain, will enter the novice class.
