THE CLINTON CHRONICLE

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.

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

Berryvjjlc, Va„ Feb. 26. — U. S.
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. It shows we
I stewards, and, at intervals served as;
’ treasurer, Sunday school superinten-
jdent, and held other positions of
- trust in the church.
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. Jr. (Fran
ces) of Winnsboro, one granddaugh
ter, Ellen Simpson McMaster, one
grandson, Kitt Rion McMaster, III,

Laurens and Ru ert : r. Goyne

W. R. Pitts of this city, and a-^um-
ler of me- cs and nephews.

j are getting under their skin,” he said
j at his home here.
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. And
nobody has ever challenged our fig
ures—not even Senator Humphrey.”
