( \ t Pajre Two — THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, March 2, 1950 , * SPORTS By PONNY WILDER Sports of al sorts were poured into * melting }>ot here in Clinton this week as the !ngh school opened base ball prcaticc and Presbyterian col lege rohred through some rough ses sions of football practice while the basketeering boys from the PC’ cam pus began preping for the Little r —— Four basketball tournament w'hich vill be held in Spartanburg this oming Saturday. PC Scrimmages The probable football team for the Blue Hose in 1950 has been making .1 big rough" and tumble time of it n the gnd practice ground this past week as Coach Lonnie McMil- liari put the boys through some stiff scrimmage sessions,__The prospects are looking good to Coach Lonnie and he seems to be fixing his eyes on another good season. He has an abundance of new talent and he’s do ing his' best to cultivate this new found talent. Several of the older hands at this thing called football,! such as Paul Martin, Bozo Weir, and j others have been placed in. charge | of the yearlings. -■ : - Blake “Kilo” Watts has been sho'.v | ing his stuff to the freshmen backs who m 7 e^ i jttst__i2ilL_oI high, school and are kept agog by Watts’ light ning-type speed. Presbyterian Goes To Spartanburg The PC basketeers travel to Spar- 1 tanburg this coming Saturday to try* their luck at winning the first tur- nament held in the Little Four com petition. Participating will be Ers-; kine, Wofford, PC and Newberry. Erskine’s high flying Fleet is ex-1 pected to walk off with the top hon ors- since they led the entire state, with theirroutstanding string of vic tories in 4he statewide competition. Presbyterian should fare all right in the tournament and they have a very slim chance of bringing the honor home. Erskine roared through the Blue Stockings by a thirty point margin last Saturday night at Erskine in the home club’s last scheduled tilt. High School Cards Diamond Tilts The Clinton high school diamond- eers are beginning to work them selves into shape for the fast com ing baseball season. The Clinton club will probably not suffer the worst of the season since the coach is blessed with a wealth of hitters. But one of the big factors is miss ing—pitchers. There is onjy one or two boys in high school who are el igible. who have ever done any sort of mound duty. Joanna To Be Central Carolina Power Joanna will be a power to reckon with in this summer’s playoff of the Central Carolina league’s games. Joanna has brought up several new players who have never been £ een around these parts before but who have a great deal of ability and also a pretty fair reputation in their home towns.

Paul plays the second base spot with a form which the local spectators could sit and watch all day. He seldom makes any sort of an error and when he does it is like it must have been when Babe Ruth used to strike out. I overheard one of the loyal Jo anna fans spinning a tall yarn in the drug store the other day.

Senator Byrd (D-Va.) struck back at critics of his economy committee to day and asserted his house-senate watchdogs of the treasury had brought about savings of millions ot dollars and exposed the waste of millions more. “I am complimented that the ex travagant spenders in congress want to kill our committee.

Mr. Simpson was a modest, unas- ! suming gentleman, a man who held the confidence of the people of all ; walks of life, both white and color ed. Whatever he was asked to do, he did well, his interest was alert in public affairs. He stood for and up- 1 held, all that was right. With strong convictions he opposed all that was wrong. His death takes from Clin ton and this community a man’who had contributed much in various ways to its advancement and better ment, and he will be greatly missed. Mr. Simpson was a son of the late ; Martha Wright Simpson and James -Lewis Simpson. In 1919 he married Miss I^eila Edwards of Union. He is survived by his widow and one daughter ani son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. K. R. McMaster.

Senator Humphrey (D-Minn.) had offered a bill in the senate Friday to > scuttle the Byrd committee on non- essential expenditures. And Majority Leader Lucas (D-Ill.) threw the ad ministration’s weight behind t h e | move by announcing that he would support the Humphrey bill. Humphrey chargeth that .the Byrd committee was the "number one ex ample of waste and extravagance” in ; government. He said the committee had spent “over $100,000 to date in appropriated funds, plus $250,000 worth of time and effort of the exec utive branch.’’ “I’m not a bit surprised that Sen- ! ators Humphrey and Lucas want to j abandon the committee,” Byrd said, j “The whole new deal and fair deal ! administration has opposed exposing :extravagance. “The committee has made a lot of enemies in advocating economy, but I’m sure our function has been worthwhile.” “We can T rrteke them pdopt the (committee’s) reports,” Byrd said. “But we have given them the facts with detailed recommendations.
