THE CLINTON CHRONICLF / Thursday, July 19,1956 Telephone Company Announces Plans For 'Sectional' Long Distance Center Construction of a new “sec tional” long distance telephone center in Columbia will begin next year, according to I. A. Eld- wards, Southern Bell manager in the Clinton area. “This new $4-5 million center will mean faster and better long distance service for telephone users in most- cities and towns throughout the state,” said Mr. Edwards ‘The fii^t-.portion 1 of the building, six or keven f\oors, will be completed in 1959. “At that time, operators in hundreds of cities across the na tion will be able to' dial a great many additional telephones in South Carolina direct • without having to go through another operator By the same token, many operators throughout this state will be able to dial tele- phones direct in other cities in the same manner. It will be a real time-saver for our custom ers” The Columbia building will be long distance calls coming into a switching center, that is, manv the state, and going but, will go through the Columbia equip ment automatically. “When the equipment is placed, in service in 1959,” Mr. Edwards continued, “this direct dialing to other cities will be limited to operators: however. It is all lead ing up to the day when cus tomers can dial their own station- to-station long distance calls.” The new center will be one of 10 in the South and is being de signed for a possible 12 floors.

Legion Team Playoff —^— / (continued from page 1) breaks go against him,' looked letter perfect in the game Mon day flight and was not in serious trouble as North Augusta had only four base runners all night. Freddie Samples, who has hit consistently all summer, contin ued his fine hitting by leading the local juniors at the plate with 2 for 4. Samples, Raines and Archie had triples for Clin ton, while Sease had a double. Summers nad Williams were the only North Augusta hitters to hit safely, both being singles. Final Greenwood Game The Clinton Juniors defeated Greenwood in Newberry last Thursday night 9-4 to win the league six title. The local jun iors had thrown the league into a deadlock by defeating Green wood in Greenwood Tuesday night on June Raines’ brilliant two-hitter. Clinton scored first in the Thursday night encounter by tal lying one run in the first inning on Pearson’s walk, a sacrifice by .Smith and Raines’ single. Green wood went ahe4d in the second innng on a home run by Rowe, an error and a double by Sluder. With Greenwood leading 2-1, they added another run in the third on a walk and a double by Traynham. With Clinton trailing in the bottom of the third 3-1, Archie pinch hit for Patterson, Clinton’s starting pitcher. He was safe on an error. Pearson sacrfiiced Archie to second, Smith walked, Samples was safe on an error, Raines flied out, Sease walked and Cooley had a bases loaded single. Floyd grounded oulPTO end the inning, but the local Jun iors had picked up four runs and a lead they never relinquished. Sease jwent to the mound for Clinton to start the fourth in ning, but after walking the first two hitters he faced, Coach Bur nett brought in June Raines, star of Tuesday night’s game in Greenwood. Raines retired the next three batters to eliminate the Greenwood threat. Clinton added a single tally in the sixth on a double by Sease and Floyd’s single. Greenwood scored their fourth and last run of the night in the seventh on throwing errors by Floyd and Archie. The local boys added three big insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth when Raines led off with a base on balls, the next two hitters went down on strikes, but Floyd kept the rally alive by singling, his third hit of the night. Johnson doubled Raines and Floyd home, after Archie walked. Smith singled Johnson home. This was all the scoring for the night as Raines continued to be master of the situation and retired Greenwood in order in the ninth. Floyd was the leading hitter for Clinton, collecting 3 for 4, while Sease had 2 for 3. For Greenwood, Rowe’s home run was the Mg blow. - * Raines pitched superbly in re lief, giving up only two hits dur ing his six innings on the mound. Final Standings—League Six Clinton 10 3 Greenwood 9 4 Newberry 5 7 Laurens 1 II Highlight* of Junior Logion Play The ability of the Legion Jun iors to play a number of positions has contributed to their fine suc cess so far. CHnton has many, versatile players on its roster, as is evidenced by the way Coach Burnett shuffles them from one position to another. In the past Archie has found himself on the mound, at shortstop, second base and in the outfield. Raines, regular catcher and who waa an 1 outstanding shortstop for the lo cal Juniors last season, has found At short and behind the plate. Smith, regular second baseman, has been used at short and behind the outfielder, has taken his regular plate. Sease, at| outstanding turn on the mound. Person, regular shortstop, has played short, second, third and the out field. Johnson, regular outfield er, has played first. Samples, Smith and Raines were the big guns at the plate in early league play. These three boys were hitting a tremendous pace. As they tapered off, the hitting of Sease, Cooley and Floyd banged the runs home. The ability of Pearson to get on base and Johnson to come through at the right time has been a big factor in the team’s success. » The pitching of the local Jun iors has perhaps been the most pleasant surprise. Thought to be adequate when the season began, the pitching staff has really come through In fine stylo. William Archie, Thorn well ace, has been the big winner to date with a 4-0 record. His wins have been over Laurens and Newberry. Wallace Patterson, who pitched well for the local high school team the past year, has a 3-0 rec ord. His wins have been over Newberry and Laurens. Billy Sease, who pitched fine ball for the local Juniors last summer, has pitched fine ball this sum mer, but has run into a lot of tough luck. His 2-3 record at the present time does not indi cate the type ball he has pitch ed. He has dropped two one- run ball games and his oaher loss was a two-run affair. The big surprise of the pitching staff has been the pitching per formance of June Raines, the Whitmire high school star of the past several years. Raines, the surprise starting choice <*t Coach Burnett in that all-important game in Greenwood when Clin ton had to win to stay alive and who relieved and got the win in the play-ooff game last week in Newberry, has done a superb job. Raines, in Coach Burnett’s own words, "is the type ball player that would look good anywhere you play him.” The ability of the team to play under pressure and their play to gether has been the biggest con tributing factor in their success. At one time or another every man on the team has come up with a big play or that base hit at the right time. Record to date; won 11; lost 3. Defeated: Laurens, 4 games; Newberry, 3 games; Greenwood, 3 games; North Augusta, playoff, 1 game. x Lost to; Newberry, 1 game; Greenwood, 2 games. i MM i. ri&RGJUN EMIENT | CLINTONfS BARGAIN CENTER ~| Women’s SUMMER DRESSES Reduced to Clear!
