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.
