Legion Race Tightens;
Clinton Hosts Greenw'd
Nearing the half-way point in
the American Legion baseball
schedule, three teams, including
Clinton, were tied for first place
in Area Eight.
Clinton, Greenwood and Ware
Shoals all had 4-3 records
through Tuesday night. Clinton
held the lead going into Tues
day’s games but lost 11-10 to
Ware Shoals to through the lead
ership into a three-way tie.
Clinton played at Newberry
Wednesday night and will lie host
to Ware Shoals tonight, Thurs
day. On Friday, Clinton goes to
Newberry and will be host to
Greenwood Friday. On Tuesday,
Clinton plays at Ware Shoals.
The league plays an 18-game
schedule.
Concerning Tuesday night’s
loss to Ware Shoals, Coach Sam
Owens said, “We hit the ball
real well but we were wild on
defense. Their lead-off batter
got on base every inning and
they stole bases. Wildness put
some of the runners on base
and we made some other errors
which moved them around."

By Tom Plaxico
Did you know that only
nee in history has any pro
olfer ever won the very
rst tournament in which
e played as a pro? . . .
he only man to accom-
lish this was Marty

irned pro late in 1967,
icn entered the Cajun
lassie Tournament, and
on it, to achieve a special

Here’s an oddity ... Of
11 the men who’ve been
ig league baseball man
gers since 1900, Dick Wil-
ams, who led the Red
ox to the 1967 pennant,
fas the very first pen-
ant - winning manager
fhose last name started
fith the letter “W”! . . .
fou’d think in all the
ears since 1900, and with
ill the different men
k'ho’ve managed pennant
dinners, there would have
>een more than one whose
ast name started with
W”, but, oddly, Williams
yas the first.

Here’s a strange fact
ibout a man named Bobo
lolloman ... You may
lave heard the name—he
> i t c h e d briefly in the
American League in 1953
. . In his short major
eague career, he pitched
just one complete game
And that one complete
game was a no-hitter! . . .
But, after hurling his no-
litter, he never again
jitched nine innings in any
sig league contest!

W. S. “Shorty” Horne,
low a familiar face at our
Post Office, was a Blue
[Jose star a few years
lack. Even though he was
the lightest lineman on the
squad, he played center
regularly and was Captain
if the Blue Hose squad of
1935. He was also the hot
test second baseman you
ever saw in baseball. After
college he played semi-pro
baseball, probably would
have gone to the majors if
he hadn’t been called to
Army active duty in IML
Soon after reading this,
many of you will be going
on vacation. Please re
member it will be far bet
ter to be a few minutes
late down here than a few
years early up there.

two singles, led Clinton’s 11-hit
attack. Steve Owens had a double

pounded out five doubles and two

wasn’t enough.

Day Camp
Is Held
At YMCA
BY JOHN BINGHAM
YMCA Director
The YMCA Boys Day Camp was
the main attraction at the YMCA
last week when forty-four boys
attended the Camp Busy Bee Prn-
gram.
The camp, which had been
regularly scheduled for two one-
week sessions, did not receive
the 60 campers per week that was
expected. Only one week was run
this season. Only six boys were
signed up for the second week
and of these, four entered the
camp for the first week. I am
sure that with the outstanding
program given to the campers
this year and the fun and bene
fits received by the boys who
participated this program will
become an annual event that will
find a much larger attendance.
Figures have been compiled for
the first week of swimming at
the YMCA pools. The first week
showed 2,871 using the pools for
swim instruction and recreation
al swimming. Some 30 people
have completed their instruction
course in Fish, Flying Fish, and
the Shark Club to date.
